Pictures taken at Olbrich Gardens

Pictures I took this morning at Olbrich Garden. If you know me at all you know I love to take pictures. Brad bought me a fancy new camera and now being off for the summer I can have some fun with photography!

Sophia's Recital at OneTrueMedia.com

Sophia playing guitar after three months of lessons! She wanted a guitar and lessons for the 8th birthday. (you can hear baby brother singing in the background because he's heard it a few dozen times!)

The Hopkins Roller Derby!

Yes, Yes that is Carson in his big sister's old roller skates. They are pink and princess- but he spent the whole time digging in the puddle for worms!

Still digging for worms!
We love to roller blade in the circle in front of our house. Great practice for hockey season!

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Girl Scout Ceremony

Both girls are in the Girl Scout program. Sophia just bridged from Brownies to Junior Scouts and Joey just finished her first year of Daisies. I am leader for Joey's group this year and both girls sold 75 boxes of cookies this year! ( ok so our family bought ALOT of those but still)

Joey's Kindergarten Graduation

Joey's Kindergarten Graduation! We were so proud of our peanut yesterday. She has come so far since she started school. She is a hard worker and a a JOY to have around. Of course both Daddy and I sobbed in the audience we were so proud. She had a special part in the program. Blogger won't let me upload the video because it is too big- but it's uploaded on facebook and you can watch her "solo". I imagine when it's Carson's turn for kindergarten graduation I will be a puddle on the floor! Good Job JoJo!

First Communion

Just a little Fooseball before mass!

Dear God- please make my mom stop taking my PICTURE!

Sophia's first communion went very well today. She looked too grown up in her dress and veil. I still picture her as five. Special thanks to my family and Brad's parents for attending and helping with dinner afterward. Congrats Sophia, we love you!

easter 2011 at OneTrueMedia.com

Our annual fun at Easter. Dad had a little too much fun hiding Sophia's eggs (she requested they be hiding in hard spots) and needed some clues!

EB

Yes, we needed to get the cheesey Easter Bunny picture 2011! We had fun at the community center for an easter egg hunt and a visit with EB. Too bad there was snow on the ground! Yuck!

The Lodge, Brainerd

We got to hang out at the waterpark in Brainerd while Daddy took some firefighter classes! A perfect weekend away!
