And Bigger!!!

Yet another first in this very crowded week of firsts!  Jesse went to the first day of his new job!  He actually has two summer jobs.  He is working for St. Francis School with the IT director installing software in all the computers  and cleaning up the computers and smartboards in the school!  His second job is working at our local golf course...doing anything they tell him!  Way to earn that money Jesse!!!

And the week keeps on getting bigger!

 Oh boy...I can fell myself aging....

We bought a car that Jesse will drive with us in it until we are comfortable letting him go on his own....we picked a used car with the highest crash rating we could find!! He will have two summer jobs and golf, so I have no idea how we were going to pull off all that driving around.....we will see how this goes!! What a milestone week...a drivers' license, a car, a now job, and an upperclassman!  I can't handle it all!!!!

A Big Week

 Well, it's a big week around here!  Jesse now officially has a driver's license!!

And we now have a MIDDLE SCHOOLER!! That one I can not grasp just yet!!!

 And Claire racked her an AR Medal today and Principal's Honor Roll! We are over the moon proud of Claire for trying so hard this year!!

And we have an UPPERCLASSMAN!!!  boy i am aging fast this week....but super proud of them both!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well, Mother's Day was a lovely 80 degree day with Mass, Brunch with Mom, relaxing under my new gazebo, and dinner with Lance and the kids eating my favorite..sushi! Hope all you moms out there had the most wonderful day!!

Happy Anniversary/Mother's Day...all in one!!

Well, this year we put together a new hard topped gazebo for the little back yard deck....Despite it taking several cool rainy weekends to get it done, it's all done! Lance & his dad even installed electricity to it complete with weather proof LED lighting and a fan!  Looks like the perfect place for a nap to me! I love it all, and I even have speakers out there!

I have a few more pillows and things I'd like to "bling" it out with, but I'm not going to ask Lance for a singe new thing...just yet

SFA Father/Daughter Dance 2017

Well, another wonderful St. Francis Father Daughter Dance has gone by and a blast was had by all!  This year it was packed, and their were drawings, dace offs, dance contests, and lots of yummy drinks and desserts!  Lance and Claire met a few other friends and their dads at Shogun, and then all proceeded to the dance together! I hope she never outgrows this!!!

Jumping The Night Away!

 Claire celebrated her 11th Birthday Friday evening with a few friends a Jumping World and had a blast...those girls were flipping, flying, tumbling, and just having a blast...and boy were they sweaty when these pis were taken!  Can't believe our little Claire Bear is 11....just can't believe that!

We love you Claire!  We can't wait to see what this year brings!!

Claire turns 11...and other fun!!!!

 Well, today our Claire turns eleven!  I just can not believe this, but I guess it's true.... being that it's the middle of a school week, she won't have her party until Friday...but we celebrated tonight with dinner with family!

 Her favorite breakfast breakfast of all!  Crepes!  And who doesn't love a good glass of white grape juice in a wine glass!

Claire got to see her cheer squad girls perform in SFA"s Beauty and The Beast!  It was fantastic!

Happy Birthday Sweet Claire!!! You are going to rock 11!!!
