Just chillin' with the boys....











It was a Tuesday afternoon....got home from work, picked the boys up from camp and thought ...hum...what could we do? The weather had been so hot and today it was finally a little cooler. So...we hopped in the car, went through the drive through and got ourselves a huge bucket of fried chicken, some drinks and headed down to Sunken Meadow beach...blanket and towels in tow of course!!! What a great time we had...it was crowded, even late in the day, but we all sat on our big blanket and talked about what each had done that day. Can you believe, there was no fighting, just awesome conversation with my boys. As I sit back and listen to each of them, I am so proud at the beautiful boys they have become. I just love them so much!

Some more Graduation pictures....











These are pictures with Nick and some of his closest friends, his dad who means the world to him and of course, nanny!

Nick's Graduation....How time flies!




June 24th...I cannot believe that my baby (he would kill me if he heard me call him that!) is graduating elementary school today! It was a bitter sweet day for me. I feel so old...my little boy is growing up so fast! Nick had a great time at the Pines with many wonderful teachers to help him through his journey! We will miss the Pines, but here we come middle school!!

Happy Birthday Boys!!!!!







June is a big birthday month for us! Nick turned 11, John and Ryan both turned 8. The boys birthdays are only one week apart. Kevin is the lucky one because he is September and does not have to share the spotlight with anyone! We had cake at nanny and pop-pops house. There were lots of candles to blow out! Happy Birthday my beautiful boys!!!

Field Day at The Pines











Sorry it has taken me so long to write...Field Day at school this year, as always, was a lot of fun. The kids participate in field games, barbecues, ice cream and the best of all...the dancing with the DJ. The PTA does a great job in getting all the children, teachers and parents involved. Enjoy some of the pictures I took that day!
