Remembering

On Memorial Day we like to go to the cemetary and put flags on the Veteran's graves. It is a great way to remember those who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms we enjoy today.







Friends!

CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS JeReMy!!!!

Today was such a wonderful and an emotional day. Jeremy has officially graduated from University at Buffalo Law School! When I heard them call his name my heart skipped a beat. He did it! The kids and I are so very proud of him!!!! The other day I asked Grant, "What is the definition of hard work?" He simply replied with a smile, "Dad." Jeremy has always been such an incredibly hard worker and the best father and husband one could ask for. It has been almost 11 years since Jeremy and I started our journey together. Never once have I ever heard him complain about going to school full time,working to provide for his family or keeping up with the demands of being a father and husband. He is truly an amazing example to me and our children. Grant, Monte, Lillian, Oliver and I am sure Maxwell does to, but they see their father as a hero and so do I. I am grateful for the example Jeremy has set for our children and only hope that they will follow in his footsteps. We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to go to school in Buffalo and truly have fallen in love with the people and the beauty that surrounds us. We are absolutely thrilled to continue our journey here in the NoRtH-EaSt!!



Although, it is a completely blurry picture here is Jeremy walking right after he was hooded and received his diploma.

Daddy/Daughter and diaper bag...





One hope that I have for my children is that they will follow in their father's footsteps.

Jeremy with the kiddos...



I overheard Grant tell his dad CONGRATULATIONS! It was really sweet. Jeremy has been going to school most of Grant's life.

Celebrate!!!!

To celebrate Jeremy's graduation we came back to the house and had pizza, wings and our favorite drink from Wegman's called Frizzante. We love Buffalo's pizza and from what I hear the wings are good too! :) After we ate way to much food Jeremy opened his gift from me and the kids. It was a framed Constitution. I am so grateful for our Founding Father's and know that the Constitution was inspired by God. I am grateful for this wonderful country in which we live. Of course no celebration for Jeremy is complete without fishing so after dinner we headed to the pond for a bit of that.

The kids thought it would be fun to make some UB cupcakes. Go Bulls!


I love this picture of Jeremy fishing and blowing bubbles with his bubble gum.


Having ponds so close to our backyard has been a little bit of heaven.

It was fun seeing all the ducks with their ducklings. I love the Spring!

The field was loaded with Geese and their goslings. I told Monte not to get to close. :)

My two blondies (well we think Oliver is going to be blonde :)

So many choices.....

Tonight at G's elementary school all the third graders got the opportunity to pick out and try all the instruments for the upcoming school year. I was surprised how excited G was. He wanted to make sure he tried every instrument. Some of the instruments he tried were: Violin,Flute, Oboe, Viola, Clarinet, Sax, Trumpet, French Horn, Cello, String Bass, Trombone, Euphonium, Bassoon and the Tuba. His favorite instruments were:
