School achievements and All Star Softball

Lucas and Olivia ended the school year with all A's. We are so very proud of them! Olivia wanted to play softball this year and she even made the All Star team. She had a great time, had some great coaches and loved every minute of it! Here are a few pics of their special days:


Look Mom, all A's!

Graduation!


IT'S OFFICIAL!! We have a GRADUATE! Terry and I both had the day off last Thursday, so we both took Zachary out for lunch and to do a little shopping. We had a great day together, and at 7PM we watched Zachary walk across the stage and receive his diploma. He was also recognized for Outstanding Attendance. He had only missed 1 day in 13 years of school. He had pneumonia in Kindergarten and had to miss ONE day!! We were so proud of him. He graduated with an Advanced Studies Diploma. Here are a few pics of his special day:

Proud brother and sister!


Best friends since elementary school, band mates, and college roomies!

New Church Directory Photo

Hi everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated ;o( I have come to the realization that I am NOT a very good blogger. Life is so busy. I am working 2 PRN jobs, taxiing kids to cheerleading, soccer, softball, and trying to watch all of Zachary's soccer games. I get very teary eyed when I think I will never watch him play again. He is such a good player and I am so proud that he has stuck it out for 4 years. In 2 1/2 months he will graduate and go to college. My little boy is not so little any more;o(. He was accepted to Virginia Commonwealth University! He is so happy that 2 of his band members will also be going to VCU. His CD is almost in the making. He is going to prom, and is very busy these days getting ready for graduation.

Lucas is doing great. The CF walk is coming up on the 15th, the same day as Zach's prom. Lucas will be going back to MCV next month and we are praying for a good checkup. He is still making all A's in school and is playing his heart out on the soccer field.

Olivia, our little athlete, is busy with tumbling, cheerleading and fast pitch softball. She broke her daddy's heart when she did not play soccer this spring.;o( She said she would do that again in the fall.

We had our church directory updated and here is our family picture:

More Snoooowwww !!!!

We had another huge winter storm move into our area Friday and Saturday. For a winter baby, I'm lovin' it. We had a birthday party to go to today, so we ventured into the cold, winter wonderland. Here are a few pics I took along the way.

Snow Days 2010

Here in Virginia, we had a great snow!! This is our second of the year and we love it! The kids spent Friday and Sat. night with aunt Ashley. Zachary was in Richmond with a friend and Terry and I had the house to ourselves ;o) It was veeerrrryyyyy quiet...... So quiet, it was rather eerie. There are not many times that our house is quiet at all. We were able to catch up on all the shows we have tivo'ed and lots of movies. We watched Australia and loved it. It was 15 degrees with a windchill of 9 so we brought the animals into the basement. Isabelle didn't know what to think. She has never spent the night inside before. Sunday our church was closed so we took the kids and went sledding. We always have a great time. Here are some pics of our day:
