With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

Beautiful Day!

Today I packed up the kids and we drove to Syracuse to the zoo and to do a little shopping. It was an AMAZING day with them! We had so much fun! We started to the zoo and we met my friend Gretchen and her daughter Katie. It was so nice out! We looked at all the animals and had a great time catching up! The kids were so well behaved! Then we went to the mall and of course checked out the Disney store. The kids each got a toy and they were in hog heaven. Then we bought some gelatos! They were so yummy! Brady got banana, Morgin Strawberry and I got Wildberry. We ended up sharing all three of them!

After we got back to Watertown, I decided that it was too nice to go home so went to the park for some outdoor playtime! We then went home and had dinner and went for a LONG walk! It was an AMAZING day! God I love those kids!

Sailor of the Quarter

I am proud of my little brother! He was voted Sailor of the Quarter! This gives him 3 extra days of leave, which he used this week to come home and see PaPa and the family. It also gives him his own parking spot near the boat! Way to go Chris! I am so proud of you! In the short time you have been in the Coast Guard you have accomplished so much! Keep working hard! I love you!

Prayer Request

I need everyone to keep my PaPa in their thoughts and prayers. He has been battling cancer for almost a year and now we have learned that the cancer has spread.

We did our Spring family art project. This time it was a butterfly which we covered with tissue paper! It turned out really cute!

First Best Friend Necklace!

Emma went to Disney World last week and she brought back a gift for Morgin...her first best friend necklace! It is super cute!  It is in the shape of Mickey and Morgin has a pink one and Emma has the purple! Morgin is OVER THE MOON excited! She asked me if she can wear it FOREVER! So cute!

Zoo Playdate

 Brady was in LOVE with Ronald

 So funny!

 Keith helping Brady Dig!

 BFF FOREVER!!

 I can't believe she is so big already!

Today we met Brittney, Keith and Emma at the zoo for a playdate. We brought McDonald's for lunch and ate there than we walked around the zoo. Emma and Morgin held hands the whole time! It was so stinking cute! Brady loves the zoo! We were in the emergency room yesterday with Brady because he fell and injured his ankle/foot. I took him so that we could get an x-ray and he just sprained his ankle/foot. That made it difficult for him to walk around the zoo but they said the more he walks on it the quicker it will heal, so I opted to not bring in the stroller. Thank goodness Keith was there! Brady kept wanting him to carry him around! It was super cute! It was a great afternoon spent with GREAT people!

Ps:) Check out the kids coats! I am in LOVE with them! I saw a similar one on a child on the playground at recess....she told me where her mom got it and I ordered one for each kid! I ordered big so they can wear next year too! They even have matching rain boots!
