Up on the Roof...

Tuesday was Cullen's last day of school. Here is the backpack line-up at the bus stop...

The kids loading up one last time.We have had a lot going on here this week. Our company (Belachew & Family) left on Monday. The same day a dumpster was brought to our house and the roofing began Tuesday... We are in the midst of a little exterior house make-over. I don't want to post before pictures until after everything is finished and I don't think it will be finished until the end of July... but the roofers are HOT...
and so is the weather (broke a record with 97 degrees yesterday).

Reunited and it feels so good...

Belachew and Hudson came to visit the boys this weekend!

There was no time wasted getting down to playing...

Hudson did an awesome job keeping up with the older boys.
It has been good to get the boys together again.

Water Fight

The boys LOVE our neighbor Chris.

Today they spent time taunting him...

Before they teamed up to get him...

Although the boys are convinced they won,

I'm pretty sure Chris thinks otherwise.

Today was the first of our "summer" like weather... I hope it's here to stay!

The Wedding

This past weekend my cousin, best friend and my self proclaimed "Man of Honor" Chad got married. Chad grew up a few short blocks from me and most of my favorite childhood memories include Chad.

The morning of the wedding was spent getting ready for the festivities.

Here is the bride, Huyen, with her sister (Mai) and her parents. Huyen with her two best friends; Ly and Anu.

Chad waiting for his bride.

Seriously how much happier could they be? Love them both!

Here I am with my sisters...

The kids enjoyed dancing to the band. Cullen enjoys dancing with people, especially his cousin Johnny...

Geremu has a style of his own, which is impressive and entertaining to watch.

Here is my Uncle Jack and Aunt Kathy...They sure know how to throw a party! The events of the weekend were amazing!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

For the last 30+ Springs my Dad has always be found on the baseball field...

In June my Dad is retiring... I'm not quite sure what that means for his coaching career. I just can't imagine him anywhere else in the spring.

After Geremu's concert last Thursday we headed to my home town to watch a night inter-city game. We met up with my sisters and all the cousins...
If grass stains are any indication of how much fun my kids had they really could not have enjoyed their time running around much more.

I'm really hoping this isn't a chubby-wubby I spy...

Geremu's Last Day of School

We've had a crazy couple of weeks with Track season and school coming to a close. I'm back blogging a little with this post from last Thursday- Geremu's last day of school. We got Cullen out of school a little early so he could watch Geremu's concert.

Geremu had been practicing the songs he sang for quite some time and if you ask his mama he was the cutest kid preforming!
After the concert he was given a plate he made before he was able to thank his teachers for a wonderful year.
From the concert we headed to my parents house for a FUN filled weekend... I'm saving that post for tomorrow.

Mother's Day

I got a 6:15 wake up call from one of my kids telling me "if you get up now you'll be my best friend." When I got out of bed I followed a trail of chocolate to find hidden bags of chocolate. No one was more excited then my two boys. Pretty sure Nick went a bit overboard with chocolate but I'm sure I'll find a way to finish it:)
