Kate's Little Shepherds Kindergarten Graduation

 Kate had a wonderful year at Prince of Peace/Little Shepherds Kindergarten.  She worked so hard and learned so much!  She loved her teachers Miss Susan and Miss Mindy.  She will be excited to start Kindergarten at Deer Run Elementary with her big sister next year!

We are so proud of her!

The Graduate!

Mother's Day 2015

Our family kicked off Mother's Day weekend with a 5k walk/run in Dublin.

 The kids were excited to wear their medals!

On Thursday, Kate's school hosted a Mother's Day Tea.  The children sang songs and performed. Kate had beautiful artwork and place setting display.

Emma's school hosted a Mom's and Muffins breakfast today.

I am blessed to be surrounded by wonderful women and mother's in my life!

Take me out to the BALL GAME!

 Sage is a huge baseball fan.  Last month, Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax took Sage to a Cincinnati Reds game.  Despite a rain delay that Sage insisted on staying through, the Reds beat the Pirates 3-2.  He was excited to get a picture with Mr. Red!

Sage at Great American Ballpark!

 John and Sage went to a Columbus Clippers game and John caught a foul ball.  It wasn't until the next day that we heard that John knocked Sage over in order to catch the ball! Whoops!

 Dominique took Sage to another Clippers game and a nice gentleman who caught another foul ball gave the ball to Sage.  What a lucky boy!

Dominique and Sage went to a real baseball field to play! Batter up!

Father-Daughter Dance

 Cheers!  The girls toast to the 2015 Father Daughter Dance at The Country Club of Muirfield (with sprite and sparkling grape juice, of course!).

 Love this pic!

 Generations of fun!

 A great pic of Grandpa with his girls!

Easter 2015

Easter weekend was fantastic!  The weekend started off on Saturday with Emma's soccer game.  She is a lucky little lady as two of her biggest fans, GG and Hailey, were able to join us!

 Following the game we had our Zinser Easter.  Papa and Grandpa hid Eggs and Papa did his annual scavenger hunt.  Cousins are such a blessing!

 Easter morning!

 It was a beautiful day so we took full advantage with some great pictures!

Here is Emma.

I can't summarize this cuteness in a statement!

 Kate is always ready to pose for a picture!

 Our family - Easter 2015!

 Grandma and Papa spent the night and joined us for mass and for brunch with the Weatherwax's

 The Weatherwax family on a sunny, but breezy day!  We loved having GG with us!

Weatherwax Easter Egg Hunt!  On your marks...get set...go!

 Grandma Weatherwax started a new tradition this year..The Golden Egg!  Kate was the lucky one to find the egg with a special prize inside!  She wrote her name on the egg and "2015" and it will be a keepsake for years to come!  She was so excited!

We are blessed to celebrate Christ's Resurrection with wonderful family and friends!

Spring Break 2014

We headed to Cincinnati for Spring Break to spend some time with Grandma and Papa and the Nichols family.  We went to see Cinderella.

 We bought some yummy treats at Supreme Nut & Candy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  

The kids loved playing at Run, Jump & Play.  

The story of Sage's life!

We saw Hailey do flips at gymnastics with her friend Ella.

The kids went to James' art show, Uncle Jim's school for a play, and Papa's school for a visit.

The kiddos spent the night with Aunt Bec for a night.  

Sadly, our spring break ended with a lovely GI bug and lots of laundry!

My "little" BIG BOY!!

Well, I learned that if you put off potty training long enough that they will just wake up one day and not want to wear diapers.  I put Sage in undies one Sunday and he had an accident 30 minutes later.  The following Tuesday, Sage asked Dominique to wear underwear so she went with it, and we haven't looked back.  He has done amazing since then.  What a treat for a Mom of three who has been buying diapers for EIGHT years!!!  

Last month, early one morning Sage was calling for me and then the next thing I know Sage is in our room.  He had climbed out of his crib!  I guess he was finally fed up with being in a crib after 3.5 years.  Both of the girls were "forced" out of the crib by age of 2, so I figured we'd let him go as long as he was content.  So, another big step for Sage was transitioning his bed into a toddler bed.  

I am so proud of this little guy!
