Having the Sims boys over for the night - May 23rd

We were lucky enough to have all three Sims boys for the night on May 23rd. Aaron, Daniel and Sean had a blast with our crew - we went swimming, played basketball, rode bikes, and had a firepit with S'mores! Too fun!

May 22, 2009 R.R. Movie Night!

Rachaels Run Movie Night - May 22, 2009

Here are some photos from our street's "Movie Night" in May...

Very fun!

Tuggle Homecoming Day!

I packed up the kids and stayed over in Tennessee (Nashville) so wake up the next morning in time to be at the airport for the HOMECOMING of Kevin, Claudia and Kelly to the USA!

It was a wonderful event - one to remember!

Important Day in History...

Whatever your political views, it's hard to deny that the Inaugeration of President Obama is one to remember! I wanted to make a lasting impression on my kids, so I included CUPCAKES to help celebrate. Yes, I made my kids sit and watch the entire speech! They thought is was boring, but I hope when they are older they can say "I remember watching that!"

Easter Saturday Events

Here are some photos of our Easter Saturday events today. We had such a good day - everyone has been getting along, happy and having lots of fun. Our family has really been getting along so well the past month or so - they said that after the 1 year mark (just past a few weeks ago) that things would feel more settled and they were right! It's been lots of fun and I'm really looking foward to a great spring and summer this year.

Can't wait for the Easter Bunny to arrive tomorrow!

"... Hippity, Hoppity... Easter's on its way!"

Easter Egg-stravaganza!

Here is our night of decorating Easter Eggs - our second time doing this as a family but the first time with Granny here! Everyone had a GREAT time. This year, the kids liked making designs with crayons before dying their eggs. Maria spent the longest time with her eggs- dying and re-dying them to make them darker and darker. She actually ended up with a black egg with cool crayon drawings on it. It rocked! After, the whole family ate some of their creations - Matthew devoured 4 eggs! More to be eaten tomorrow for breakfast - with bacon for sandwiches. YUM!

Happy Easter!
