Graduation is finally over!!!

Well, graduation is finally done. Chey graduated on May 20th. It was very nice. Her dress was very pretty and all the kids looked "older", if that is possible. It has been a very bitter sweet time for me. I want her to go on in the next stage of her life, but at the same time, it is hard to see her leave St Charles. She has been there since pre-school. Great school, great times. We also had her party on the 23rd at Mom and Dad's house. It was wonderful. The whole family was there. Mom and Dad rented a huge tent and tables and chairs. We had the shindig catered. It was an experience. It was very nice. She got many gifts and money. She was in heaven. So, only 2 more years and then it will be Hannah's turn. Yeah!! Hope to get some pictures on soon of everything.

Go Royals

We went to the Royals game yesterday with Sean and Nicole and all the kids. Terry and Mia came, and so did Uncle Tommy. We had a really good time. The kids got their Build A Bear Slugger stuffed dolls. It was a 1:00 game, and it was gorgeous outside. We sat on the Bud light Party deck, which was really cool. They have servers who bring you food and drinks, just like at a bar and grill. The bathrooms were right there, and you could go downstairs to another level where there is an indoor bar. Very cool. It was great, because you don't have to reserve these seats. We just bought the cheapest tickets they have and got there early enough to get front row seats. Awesome seats, great day with the family. Hope to have pics on soon.

Hannah's team took 3rd

Hannah's softball team took 3rd place this weekend in the Mother's Day Bash softball tournament. They did really well, we were very happy. She did very well catching. They finally started swinging the bats too, it was great to watch.

Adding pictures

As you can see, I am adding pictures. I still need to download some newer ones from the camera. I have some from Hannah's last tournament. She plays competitive softball. She catches and plays short stop. She is a very good little player. We love to watch her chase down the runners, she is good at it. Imagine that. Lol. Chey also plays and she pitches. She will be trying out for her high school team. Always something going on. That's ok, it makes them strong girls.

Getting ready for the next begining!!!

So, I have been getting ready for CheyAnne's 8th grade graduation. It is on May 20th. It is crazy that she is going into high school. For most of you that know me very well, I can come across as being a hard nosed person, not real emotional. I have to say, this is killing me. I am so excited to see her gain her independence as a young woman and to see her grow, but, I am sad. It really does not seem like that time should be here yet. Funny, my mom has always said, "just wait, it will all seem like it has flown by." Boy, did she know or what. LOl. So, 8th grade graduation is a big deal at her school. Since both girls go to catholic school, they have a mass and the whole nine yards. Kind of cool. We finally finished the task of getting "The Dress." Let me tell you, wow. I am so glad to have that done.

We recently went to Star Nite at St. Theresa's. She met all of her big sisters and her advisor. She was so excited. I think her Grandma and I are equally excited. It is a really big deal. For all of you who did not know, CheyAnne tested for St. Theresa's Academy, and got in. It is an all girls private school. I do believe we now own every St Theresa's shirt, sweats, stickers, stadium blankets, umbrellas, and yes, even a flag that proudly hangs on the front of our house. We are very Excited to say the least. :)

So, today is the day I get with modern technology, and start a blog. Who would of thought. There is so much going on in our lives, changes everyday. So, I thought this would be the best way to keep everyone updated. Enjoy!!!
