Mo-Mo-Mo-Monkey Face, Mo-Mo-Monkey Face

It's official, she is now a Harley rider!!

So for the last 8 or so years, Emma has been patiently waiting to ride Papa Jay's Harley!! If it were up to me, her Mother, she would have been on it years ago.....BUT her Memi decided that her rule trumped the fact that I am the Mother, so she had to wait until she was 13?? Well a couple of weeks before her 13th birthday (the week of Spring Break to be exact) Papa Jay, Memi and another friend of theirs showed up on the Harley's early one morning for a day trip.. Papa Jay already had Emma fully outfitted in Harley gear, from her helmet all the way down to her boots!! She was ready, not to mention VERY excited to hop on that Harley and CRUZ!!!!!!!!!

Emma becomes an official teenager (13, YIKES)

It is very hard to believe that Emma turned 13 this year! I don't know where the time has gone!! All I do know is the for the next 5 years I will be taking in EVERY little moment!! This year we celebrated with a skating party, which was a lot of fun.. She had about 9 or 10 friends show up and we had a small rink all to ourselves for 2 hours!

Luke's 1st trip to Six Flags (spring break, March 2010)

Spring Break/St Patrick's Day brought us out to Six Flags for the first time this season, and it was a hit for both the kiddos. Luke rode a few rides but mostly just enjoyed being outside and all the sights he got to see. He loved watching the roller coasters as Emma rode them.. Too bad the lines were crazy long, but that is what happens the week of Spring Break!!

March 2010 - "A Day with Thomas"

The Thomas tattoo that caused a melt down.. Needless to say, Luke wanted it until he got it and then he wanted it off :o)











Mommy, Daddy and Luke getting ready to ride with Thomas!! Luke loved it SO much!!













This gentleman was so very nice.. He took our family picture and then let us take his picture so Luke would have a picture of the "Unducter"











The best picture I got of Thomas, too bad Luke wasn't in it!!












Luke and Daddy (along with a billion other people) posing with Thomas!!

'Cause you gotta have friends

My wonderful and extremely talented husband passed his PE (Professional Engineer) this year and we celebrated with a little shindig at J Gilligan's!!








*We have some of the funniest, funnest, craziest, most loving, supportive and totally awesome friends in the world*
