Zoo time!

Lots Of Graduation Parties!

A busy weekend, two graduation parties in one day!

Thankfully both parties were kid friendly, with lots to keep the kids busy.

Jack loved the slide.

Up and down he went for a long time.

He also loved the jumpie

At first he wouldn't take his shoes off, but when he realized all the other kids had theirs off he took his off.

Lots of crazy jumping!

Jack took a little rest, he was tired!

Then it was time to get back to jumping.

Serious work, as you can see by the serious face!

OH! by the way, we shaved his head again!

His hair was too uneven after we did it, so we got a professional to fix our mistake.

Later we went to our cousin Mary Kate's graduation party.

Jack enjoyed following "The Yellow Brick Road" to the play house.

He had so much fun, as this is really the first time we have been there that he could be outside.

Early in the evening Annabelle fell, and was feeling sad.

Jack and Dad enjoyed lots of cookies and a screaming match.
Jack won!

Mom, Dad and Jack posed for a quick picture.

Aunt Madonna played with Jack who wanted the balloons bad!

She lifted him up so he could reach them!

He was so happy.

Finally Annabelle appeared.

I feel bad that she is not in a lot of pictures.

She was off in the basement playing with the big girls, we didn't see her four hours!
Mary Kate was opening gifts for a long time.

She got lots of great gifts.

Congrats to Carly and Mary Kate.

Good Luck in High School.

We enjoyed your parties.

Celebrating Great Grannys' 82nd Birthday.

Granny a.k.a Mommy May arrived in Chicago the day before her 82nd Birthday.

An impromptu celebration was arranged.

Annabelle picked out some lovely jewelry for Mommy May
Dad struggled to keep Jack away from the street!

Aunt Bernie also came from Ireland and loved jack!

Jack hung out with his favorite Aunt Aishling.

Mommy May loved the whole celebration.

How great is she!

I posed for a picture with my Granny.

We had a great afternoon, perfect weather and fabulous company!

Happy Birthday Mommy May, here's to many more!

Yes! Summer is here!

To my babies,
I can't wait to begin our summer together!
Love : Mom

Summer At Last

Annabelle and Jack enjoying some splashing fun.

Summer Time fun .

Jacks' first experience in the pool was not so good!

He cried for a while.
All of a sudden he loved it.


He splashed and laughed.

Annabelle had a blast.

She was in the water for hours!

While Annabelle swam Jack drank some juice pouches and made all the adults laugh.

He had so much fun in the Dino jump/ slide.

He loved the fast slide down.

He loved dancing on the air bed too!

We couldn't get Annabelle out of the pool.

Jack and his cousins played.

Jack liked Michelles' head band.

Later, after Jack got into his jammies,

he enjoyed some time with his cousin Mary Kate.

Mulch is fun, but wait, I don't like it on my hands!

Time to go home.

Annabelle took a cute picture with Uncle Lou and his sister in law.

A great party!

Lots of fun !

Congrats to Mike.

Thanks Merlottis' for another great event!

Hairy Situation.

Jack is like his Momma, too much heat equals hot.sweaty, and red! So we shaved it all away!
Mommy wishes she could do the same.

Jack loved the sound of the shaver!

The next day he was ready for fun!

Running in the field before Annabelle's soccer game.

I like this chair, I think I'll stay awhile.

Up close and a great new hair cut .
