Happy Birthday to Doe!!!

     The kids got to surround Doe and sing him Happy Birthday.  Emma came with us this time and joined everyone in singing as soon as Nana could start the song off key.  Just look at the smiles from everyone.  Dominick and Makayla was there with Aunt Jamie too over Kara's house. 

pitching too !!

      On the same day as his home run our little guy threw three hitless innings with 7 strikeouts.  He's got very good form......he listens!!

Visiting from Ohio

The gals from Ohio came in for a quick visit this week.  Kara made some ribs and had us all over to indulge.  That Kara....and her ribs...mmm

      Amelia and Lilly are full of spunk

 My beautiful little gal is growing up...with Quinnie and Erin

 and who could believe that our little Jacob is 16 years old.  Next week he's getting his permit to drive...I'm sure he'll do just fine...we don't have to deal with that for one whole year...oh, the stress of it all

Home Run!!!

Don't mind the unsteadiness of the cameraman...I was watching and having too much fun doing so to pay enough attention to the video....

Mothers day 2016

We sat around the house for a little while in the morning, but in typical fashion we all get ants in our pants and have to go somewhere.  Jimmy, as usual, had a sport(dek hockey this time) and couldn't come with us.  What we did was get in the car and head to the beach for some fried dough.  It had turned somewhat nice, just a little rain and clouds, so we got to go hang out on the sand and they even went in the water up to their knees.  they said the water was okay.

     they all got to write in the sand and Catherine was doing her impressive flips....
