The Mets

Avery is playing Baseball and Loving it. His team are the Mets, We are injoying the sidelines. His Nany and Pop go to all the games and cheer as loud as we do. At the last game Pop got hit with a ball, just for the record I was the one not laughing!

Camping Trip

We went camping in the Hocking Hills at a place called Lake Hope. We had such a good time, We rented a boat and took the kids fishing. No fish were injured during this trip being that the kids kept throwing it out and reeling it back in. Grace fell asleep on the boat after feeding the fish pringles. It was a lot of work and there was no relaxing involved but this is something we will surly do again. We made new memories this weekend, To add to the ones I remember from my childhood.

Abby's Graduation

Abby Graduated from Preschool, I so had the ugly crying face. It was a beautiful ceremony the teachers put on for us. Abby was a little sad to say goodbye to her friends but we will invite them over to swim this summer. It is so hard for me to look at her as a big girl now ( she tells me so often ) when I look at her I still see this chubby cheeked angel baby that I held in my arms. She is a strong willed person that fights for what she wants and will negotiate everything I tell her to do. It is very frustrating but yet relieving as well. I want her to pave her own way and never take a back seat to anyone. I Love you Abby Girl!!

GIRL POWER!

Done with School

Avery and I just finished our second year of homeschooling. So much work yet very rewarding for both. I remember when we first started and how scared I was. Lets face it, how can I teach my child when I didn't do so well myself? Well skip to two years later and I have taught Avery to read ( the thing I was most worried about. ) To be truthful I have learned more in these two years then I ever did when I was in school. ( But Let's face it people, Most kids will do just fine as long as they have parents that are involved.) Unfortunately there are many parents that don't sit down with there kids and help them with their school work. That of course results in Children having a lack of confidence and in some cases the kids even end up giving up on School altogether. It is so important, that my kids know that no matter what is going on in their life, I will always be front and center cheering them on louder then anyone else!
