Something is wrong with the video of Jackson's graduation. I promise I will get it fixed as soon as I can. I hope some of you got to see it before it messed up.
OK - I can't get it to work right now. If you want to see it, email me and I will send it to you. It is only about 2 minutes long.

Mother's Day
I'm working on getting everyone caught up - so here is how Mother's Day weekend went.
It was a very busy, very fun weekend!!! On Friday night we stayed with my best friend Sarah and her family. Jackson and Joe had a great time playing and Kate tried as hard as she could to keep up. It's funny because Jackson (almost 5) and Joe (just turned 4) are the same size and have the same color hair. They look a lot alike just like Sarah and I did at their age - yes we have known each other for that long!
On Saturday we took Joe to the Zoo and met Sara, Matt, Matthew and Keith. It was a beautiful day and the Zoo was a little crowded. The kids had a blast. Kate had not been to the Zoo since she was under a year old. She loved seeing all of the animals. Of course we had to ride the train also - Joe and Jackson are very fond of trains.
We had a lot of fun!
On Saturday night Sara and I took my mom out to dinner for Mother's Day. We went to The Cheesecake Factory at the Galleria and then did a little shopping.
Sunday was my niece Brittany's confirmation. It was an eventful day. The storm from the night before had cause the electricity to be out at church. Most of the service was by candlelight and flashlight. In the middle of Communion the lights came back on! Brittany looked beautiful and I was very proud of her. After the service Brian and Susan had a luncheon/party to celebrate. It was nice to visit with family and friends. Kevin left a little early and took the kids to visit his mom. He brought home Pirrone's Pizza - yummy!!!
Like I said - it was a great weekend!!

Weekend with Friends
I know it has been a while. Things have been very busy these days. We have a lot to share with you - so look for a few posts this week.
First let's go back a little to the middle of April when we had our friends Mike and Tracie and their girls Lily(4) and Elly(1) stay with us overnight. They arrived on Saturday afternoon and the kids enjoyed playing outside. Mike and Kevin took Lily and Jackson to the park and they played on the playground and even attempted flying a kite. Saturday night after the kids went to bed, the adults enjoyed the Wii. Mike and Kevin stayed up late playing Guitar Hero! On Sunday morning, Tracie made us chocolate chip pancakes - they were delicious! Then we headed over to the Ropp Cheese Farm. We got to see the cows and how cheese is made. After naps we BBQ'd then said goodbye to our friends.
We had a great time.
Here are some pics of the weekend.
Thank you Tracie for sending them!

My baby is going to Kindergarten!
Tonight Kevin, Jackson and I went to register Jackson for Kg.
I just can't believe he is going to be in Kg. in August.
We went to the school and the teachers took the kids to show them the Kg. rooms and do some activities with them while the parents stayed in the cafeteria and listened to the principal talk and then filled out paperwork.
Jackson had a great time and he is really excited about starting Kg. Ask him about it the next time you talk to him. He loves to talk about it.
Wow! I think I am still in shock! I can't even imagine what I will be like on the first day!!!

Funny!
So - it is very cold and rainy here today.(actually it sleeted and snowed a little earlier in the afternoon!) I had to take Kate to the dr. because she woke up yesterday with a fever. I thought for sure it was another ear infection - turns out it is a throat infection! Yuck! Poor thing. She is being a trooper though.
Anways - we were playing in Kate's room this afternoon and Kate decided to change her clothes which then prompted Jackson to join in.
They are so funny!

Spring Break
OK - I promised another post this weekend. I am trying to catch up - so here is a post about our Easter and Spring Break.
Easter weekend was cold but fun. We spent the weekend visiting with friends and family. The Easter Bunny left baskets full of goodies for the kids and even managed to leave some eggs for hunting at various places we visited. I'd have to say the best egg hunt was at my cousin Susie's house. It actually started snowing while the kids were hunting eggs! All in all it was a busy but fun weekend.
Kevin left Monday evening to head back home while the kids and I stayed and visited for the week since Jackson was on Spring Break. We spent the week visiting everyone we could fit in. On Wednesday we spent the day with Aunt Sue, Brittany, Brett and Sydney. We went to the Transportation Museum and then had lunch at McDonald's. Jackson also visited with his friends, Elijah, Nick, Alex and Joe. It was an exhausting but fun week. I had so many pictures it was hard to choose which ones to post so I chose pictures of the kids with their cousins. Enjoy!
Melissa
PS - the picture of Jackson with the Easter Bunny is a picture of him with his cousin because Steve was the Easter Bunny at Church! Notice there isn't a pic of Kate with the Easter Bunny. She was terrified of him. She held on for dear life and cried if she was in the same room with him!
