8th Grade Field Trip

Connor's class went on a field trip to down town Vicenza.
For once he actually took a bunch of pictures!!  I stole a few off of his phone.
I'm jealous I wasn't there.... it looks like it was so much fun!!

Scout Campout

Jeremy is the Scout Master and has been a stickler to ensure that the boys have a campout once/month -  no matter what!  

I'm so grateful that the boys are able to experience this and be part of this group! 

The campout is usually at our house since there are not a lot of places in Italy where you can build fires.
That's ok with me though... then I get to spy on them and take pictures!!

Just got the tents up and get to play a little before dinner

Looks like they had a rough night

Connor and Aiden are cooking for everyone to earn their cooking merit badge

Whitney had a friend sleep over while all the boys were outside!!  :)

We had fun coloring Easter eggs!

They got bored and left me half way through.... this happens every year!!!

Captured this pic of Whitney and Kayla.  You can hear Whitney singing her songs all the way in the house.

Easter 2016

We had a little visitor - shhhh.....

Our Easter bunny always leaves his dirty footprints in our house!

Looking for Easter eggs

Well this picture sure shows their ages!!!  lol!!!

Easter breakfast - doesn't look that great but, Oh my!!!  Apple and Cinnamon German Pancake!  Yum!!

Obligatory family Easter picture.  I wish you could see Kayla better!! 

Please don't grow up Whitney!!!

Such a shame!!!

Mmmm..... worth it!! 

We had Ryan and Jake over for dinner and had a wonderful evening together with delicious food!
Another great holiday memory!  Happy Easter everyone!!!

Spring!!!

It was soooo beautiful this week!!!  We spent as much time as possible outdoors.  

Another plus.....  all the gelato stores opened back up this week!!! 

End of Season Celtics Party!

We hosted an end of the season party at our house for Connor's basketball team - the Celtics!

Presenting the 1st place award to the school officials! 

Coach gifts

One of the moms actually stole one of the game balls of our final championship game! lol!

Guys and Dolls

Also this weekend we FINALLY got to see Jeremy in Guys and Dolls.  I really wished we would have seen it earlier... I would have like to have watched it a second time.  It was really really well done!  Jeremy did GREAT as usual!!!

Performing "Sit down you're rocking the boat".  The judges picked this song for everyone to perform at the Toppers Awards in Germany next month!  Jeremy's solo!!!

He's kinda a big deal!!  I'm so proud of him!!

The after party!

The traditional post show pot luck!

Everyone really becomes like family during these shows!  A lot of love in this room!

Our brave and very talented director!!
