Strawberry Pickin'

We have a few farms just about 15 min from us. So today we
packed up the boys and went to find some strawberries.
It was a perfect day to go overcast and not to hot.

Day out with Thomas

This weekend we got to go to Ohio and ride on Thomas the train. The boys loved

every single min of it. We got to take about a 30min ride on Thomas and than

they had a ton of activities for the kids to do also. The only down side was it

was a hot weekend so walking around and standing in lines outside all day

was no fun.

Drive-in movie

We took the boys to the drive in to see Shrek 3.

We had a ton of fun. Nothing beats eating tons of food and

watching a movie with the fam.

Baby A!!!

I just loved taking pictures of this sweet baby girl.

Her family is moving soon and we sure are going to miss

them.

Tyson's Graduates

Tyson Graduated from preschool today!
This coming up school year he will be a Kindergartner.

I can't belive how this school year has flown bye.

We are so proud of him and love him very much.

Seawolves baseball

I got to go on the first gr. field trip today. The kids had a

ton of fun at the baseball game. The only problem was

it was sooo cold and we had to bring out our winter coats.

I don't think I will ever sit through an out door game again

when its that cold out side.

Sweet Jilly!!!

Jill by Lake Erie


At Port Farms on a hay ride!

Jill with us on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara!

Words really can not describe this beautiful young woman! Matt's younger sister

Jill passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, in her sleep on Sat April 17,2010.

My heart has been so full this past few weeks with having many thoughts daily

about Jill and Matt's family. Its been so hard to be so far away from family. Both

Matt and I where able to fly to AZ for just a few days to be there for the funeral.

The day after we had to leave and come back home to PA.It has been hard,

I hate not being their with our families!

Before we moved out here to PA for school. We lived with Matt's parents and Jill for a year. In that year Jill and I became very close. My mom said many times that Jill was like a second mother to our boys. Man she LOVED them soooo much (she loved all her nieces and nephews). I know she had a special place in her heart for her Carter Hugh!! Carter was not an easy baby, but Jill would help me so much with him. You name it she did it. I have had the struggled lately with the thought of my boys not remembering her. Knowing that at least Carter will pro. never remember Jill, this just breaks my heart to the core. Something I will remember and will tell Carter as he gets older is I know of the love she had for him and his brothers. When we got to Az my sister in law was on Jill's computer looking something up. When she closed out her session there on her desktop for her screen saver was a picture of Carter. I have no clue how long she has had that pic as her screen saver. But I just about lost it when I saw it , and knew that even though we live so far away, every time she got on her computer she saw her Carter!! She just on Easter sent out kids a Easter Package with lots of goodies in it.

We had the great opportunity to have Jill come and stay with us for a month this

last Oct. We had a ton of fun. Taking her to see some of the sights around here. It

was nice to have her help again, it was nice to have a shopping buddy again.

She loved to go to Target with me and make crafts. She had a laugh that would

light up the room, and such a big heart for her family.

We Love and Miss you but know we will see you again!!
