Annual School Pictures

Here are Jacob and Katie's annual school pictures. I think Jacob has looked the same for the past 4 years - same blue polo shirt. People must think we never buy him clothes but that is just what he likes to wear on picture day. Katie at least has a different hairstyle from year to year. And since I didn't buy the rights to Sarah's pre-school picture, I've loaded her 3 year picture that was just taken a couple of months ago.

Sarah's 1st Day at Gymnastics

Here is our little gymnast. She really took to the balance beam during Katie's Cheerleading class so we enrolled her in gymnastics this Fall and she is a natural. But I bet all the other 3 year old moms are saying the same thing.

Celebrating turning 40

How do you celebrate turning 40? Go to Cancun and enjoy an all-inclusive resort complete with a wonderful couples massage and hydrotherapy session. Dave and I met up with my best friend from Texas and her husband. We spent 5 sun-filled (and very hot) days relaxing with no cooking, no cleaning, no driving, and no children. It was like a 2nd honeymoon. I am going to count on Roxanne sending me some pictures from our nights out since I just have a few of the resort and our excursion to Xcaret where Dave and I snorkeled through an underground river which was really neat.

Back to School

Jacob is in 3rd grade this year and still not in any mood for me to take back to school pictures at the bus stop. Katie is starting 1st grade and Sarah is back to pre-school this year. Below are their first day pictures.

Summer 2009

I discovered Facebook this summer and I am finding that I rarely have time for it and I totally put our blog on the back burner. So I'm going to try to get back to posting on here as well. I'm going to attach a few pictures of our summer.

End of the School Year

It seems with the end of the school year, always comes those important milestones. Jacob is now a bear in Scouts and finishing up the baseball season. Katie had her Kindergarten program and has her Cheerleading program next week. Grandma was able to attend both of her programs much to Katie's delight, so we should get some good pictures from her camera.

Katie can also now ride her bike without training wheels.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is always a good time for a family photo op. This year we also had a visit from Gram and Pops and Dan, Kim, and Caedmon.
