Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Brian! Our daddy works so hard and we so appreciate everything he does. We enjoyed a great day where all the dads could relax, eat and swim.

Strawberry Picking

Another great year of strawberry picking. It was a short berry season here in PA and the fruit was smaller than normal but we still managed to pick about 12lbs. of deliciousness!

Movin' On Up!

It's official...I have a 1st grader! Carter "moved up" this past week in a fantastic ceremony. It is hard to believe that the year passed so quickly but somehow summer break is here and kindergarten is behind him. True to himself, Carter stepped up to the plate and made great progress all while have fun and making new friends. We are so unbelievably proud of our boy.

Gone Fishin'

We went fishing with Mimi and Poppy a couple of weekends ago and the boys did really well considering it was their first real fishing experience.

Carter's first ever fish. It is a sunny but he casted, hooked and reeled this guy in all by himself. He was quite proud!
Poppy hooked a nice trout and Elijah reels him in!
Now that's what I call teamwork!

It was a great time and the boys can't wait to go fishing again.

Shafer Carnival

Carter's end of the year carnival was a blast. He waited for weeks and was especially excited when he found out his principal would be in the dunk tank! Aside from the fun of trying out the dunk tank, there was food, bounce houses and other games to enjoy.

Field Day

GREAT field day at Shafer! I helped out and the kids had a great time! The weather was beautiful and the school's gym teacher put together an awesome day for all the grades. I was in charge of the potato sack races and loved watching all the classes participating and having a so much fun. Perfect Day!!

Ready, Set, GROW!

The boys had their healthy visits yesterday. All went great and both are in perfect health. Their stats are:

Carter:

48 inches tall (2 inch growth)

48 pounds (2 pounds heavier)

Elijah:

39 1/2 inches tall (3 inch growth)

35 pounds (5 pounds heavier)

No shots for Carter but 2 shots for Eli (which he handled like a champ) and both were given a clean bill of health until next year's appointment.

Memorial Day Program

Carter's school had a fantastic Memorial Day program. The students sang patriotic songs and the were many Veterans as well as men and woman currently serving our great country. What a wonderful way to give these children a better understanding of Memorial Day!

**I love this picture of Carter...it is like "Where's Waldo?', only we call it 'Where's Carter?'

Happy Belated Birthday!

OOoops...I forgot to post Happy Birthday wishes to my Dad! Happy belated Dad..May this be your best year yet! Love you!!
