May and June Pictures

I have been remiss in my posting, so here's a stack of pics from May and June.  Look forward to seeing some pics from Italy (Uncle Rich et al)!!!!

Both boys continuing with basketball.  Here is stephen (#43, yellow socks!)

If we are friends on Facebook, you saw this one already.  This is Chris as Benjamin Franklin, dressed to give an oral report!

Chris' birthday..... he's holding his present from stephen - Chocolate!

This was quite a "cake".  2 9x11 pans of brownies glued together with buttercream frosting.  I don't think I'll do this one again.... very dense/heavy/sugary.  It was good once tho!

remodel progress.... cabinets/bar going in....

Both boys were in a basketball tournament in Reno at the end of May.  This is them goofing around in the hotel.  They won big combs in the hotel arcade.

Look how big my boy is getting!!!

One of Chris' baseball teams went to Cooperstown NY to play in a 7-day tournament.  Quite the event- Chris stayed at Cooperstown All Star Village overnight with his team all week.  Had an incredible time with his friends, and his coaches were great.

Of course we took the opportunity to spend some time with Mom and Dad and Matt while we were in NY

Sight seeing in Cooperstown

Got to see my friend (from high school!) Denise

Luckiest kids in the planet just got a pool hoop.  Had to get them something for their amazing grades and to celebrate Stephen's successful 1st year of middle school and Chris' graduation from Elementary school.

4th of July Parade.... Chris' All Star baseball team had a float

Stephen rode with the Tbirds Football team float

Steve is continuing with his running.  Tries to fit in as many local runs as he can.

My (3) boys got me a rose bush for Mother's Day.  I love it.
