Just a great picture...

The boys were watching Mike last week pump water from Horseshoe lake...

Spring Hockey

Michael is having a lot of fun this hockey season. He is out of goal and playing center! Last game he had his first assist. He team is doing great with a 2-2 record. He plays on Sundays and Saturdays. Bring out your winter coats and come down to watch a game!

Mother's Day Tea

Joey's school hosted a Mother's Day Tea yesterday. The kids sang songs and then we ate cookies together and decorated a bird house. It was a great mom and son day!

Kick-A-Thon

Joey raised the most money from his karate school for the St. Jude's Kick-A-Thon! He received a certificate, shirt and backpack. Thank you to everyone who donated to this cause. His karate school raised enough money to give one child oxygen for three days!

Teeth!

Ryan just cut a back molar. That makes his tooth count up to 5!

National Take Your Kid to Work Day

Thursday, April 23 was Take Your Kid to Work Day. I brought Michael and Joey in with me for a half day and then we went to lunch at Burger King. The kids hung out with Owen, the son of a guy who works next to me. This is a picture of them playing with Michael's Nintendo DS. -Mike

Nets vs Magic at the Izod Center

Michael and I went to a Nets game at the Izod center. Neither of us had ever been to a basketball game before, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but both of us went home talking non-stop about how much fun it was. What suprised me the most was the level of good sportsmanship the teams displayed towards each other. It's a lot different than hockey.

Wow!

Ryan ate an entire hot dog for dinner today! Complete with a side of corn and an ice cream sandwich for dessert!

A Visit with the Easter Bunny

Michael looks like he is too old to be there.
Ryan has the "WTF" look.
And Joey, well, we apparently tramutize him everytime he needs to go near something in a costume. You can't see him, but Mike's arm and knee are pushing Joey toward the bunny!

Things are getting better for Ryan. Now that his pneumonia is gone, he is sleeping through the night. I took this picture when we got home from a birthday party on Saturday. - Mike

Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Ryan was finally feeling well enough to eat his birthday cake. He loved it! (He also had a bath when he was done!)

BOAT!!!!

Art show

Michael had two pieces of artwork featured in his school's art show displayed at the Ledgewood Mall. One was a picture of the American flag he took when Uncle Kevin came back from Afghanistan, and the other was a drawing of the Statue of Liberty.

George Visits the Firehouse!

Joey had a visitor this weekend! George, his class monkey, came for a weekend visit. He played basketball, drew pictures and even visited the firehouse!

I took this picture while I was working from home the other day. I try to work from home whenever I get the opportunity, and Ryan sits right next to me at mission control. -Mike
