Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!!! Alleluia Christ is Risen!!!

What a joyous celeration we had for Easter this year!!

Friday night Jen and John came over and took us all out to Toys R Us. They very generously bought Easter gifts for all of the kids. Saturday Jenny, John, and Jacob came over to spend the day. We hung out and colored Easter Eggs. That night the adults went out for dinner and an Everblades Hockey game.

Sunday we got up and went to 8:30 Mass. After Mass we went to the parish hall for some refreshments and visiting. Next we headed home for a wonderful brunch of bacon, sausage, and omelets prepard by Mike. While Mike made brunch I put together Easter baskets. After delving into Easter baskets Mike, Maggie, and I all took about an hour nap. After naps it was time to head out to Jen and John's for Easter festivites. We ate, drank, and the boys played outside a lot. It was a great time of visiting and relaxing. Mike and John even played a whiffle ball game with the kids! Though we missed Austin we kept up on his hockey via the blog and tournament website.

Wishing you all a Blessed and Joyful Easter Season!!!

The Pictures are of the Nate, Ben, Jacob and Christian getting ready to color Easter eggs. Our family after Mass. Maggie in her beautiful Easter dress. Kolbe, Ben, Christian, and Nate with their Easter baskets. I wanted to add more but the blog wouldn't let me - lol!

Mikey's Birthday

Mikey had a few celebrations for his birthday. These pictures are from the celebration with Mike's Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma. We had a great time. We hung out at the new house, Grammy took the older boys out for haircuts and new shoes for some, they gave the kids some Easter gifts, and we went out to eat at a nice restaurant called Rum Runners. It was such a good time. We do not get to see them all as often as we would like and so we really enjoyed our visit.

Mikey also had friend over to spend the night the actual day of his birthday and then the next day my Sister, her husband and my nephew came over and we celebrated some more! I would say Mikey had a very good birthday this year.

For his birthday he received a bowling ball, a bag, and bowling shoes, a new bat, some money, a Nerf dart game he wanted and more! Quite a haul if I do say so myself.

We love Mikey very much and we are proud of the wonderful young man he is becoming. It is so hard to believe that my sweet little Mikey is already 12! He has such a huge heart and is very responsible. Our prayer for him is that he continues to grow in maturity and in his love for God and His Church.

The pictures are of Mikey, Grammy. and Mike. Grandpa Weertz Maggie, Nate, and Christian. Grandma Weertz and Ben. The cake I made from an idea in Family Fun magazine.

Off to Sweden

Today my son Austin and my Mom and Dad headed of to Sweden for 12 days. They are going to watch Austin participate in an international tournament as part of a prospects team called the East Coast Selects.! We are very proud of him. He is excited and so are we. What a great opportunity to play hockey while representing the United States and getting to vist a new country.

If I was independently wealthy we would be there in a heart beat. We are fortunate that there is a website we can access that keeps us up on how the team is doing as a whole and individually. I am sure Dad will take lots of pictures for me to post later. Your prayers for safe travels and a good time for all would be appreciated.

The first picture is ofmy Mom and Dad and the second is one of Austin playing last summer.

My New Hair Cut

Today I was able to get a very nice haircut thanks to my brother-in-law and sister and my Mike.

My sister and brother-in-law helped me to be able to afford a nice haircut complete with pampering and Mike watched the kids so I could get away for about an hour and a half. It was wonderful. I love my haircut!!! Thank you all - I hope you all like it as much as I do.
