May = Mom.

May was an awesome month....it's "all about Mom month". Not only is Mother's Day in May, this Mom received a well-deserved (if I say so myself) vacation with some girlfriends. No husbands, no children, just the girls. We took a 5-day cruise of the Western Caribbean while Steve took the week off to take care of my usual mom duties. I'm a lucky mom.

The Cubs' Fourth Birthday Party

Long lost entry from April.....

The Cubs celebrated their fourth birthday jumping, jumping, jumping at Jump for Fun. They have awesome bounce houses, and best of all, it is indoors, air conditioned, and CONTAINED. A must when entertaining a herd of toddlers. Fun was had by all. Here are a few pics...

The guests of honor:


Lots of friends:


Cupcake Face


Load them up with sugar and send them home. I'm sure all the parents loved me! :)

A picture says....

Since a picture says a thousand words....then I should have to write a lot less! Woo hoo!! Here are some more pictures from earlier this year.

Our little neighborhood Easter egg hunt.:




Grandpa Bear installed a putting green for the cubs' fourth birthday.

Photo flashback

I was going through some of our digital photos and found some that I had meant to share and of course, had neglected to do so. Here's a photo flashback for earlier this year.

For Christmas the cubs received their very own sets of golf clubs. Steve was so very excited to take them to the driving range for the very first time.













Emily modeling one of the nightgowns that Great-grandma Betty made for her.



I took Emily to a birthday party held at a gymnastics center (Zach was sick so he stayed home with Daddy.). These are from January but I still can't believe how grown up and tall she looks in these.









We had a horrible snow and ice storm in February and after being stuck inside for three days we finally broke out of the house just to play in the snow.



There's a golf course under there somewhere.:

Our snow angel.:

Looks like someone may have the upper hand.:
