Mary Jo's Birthday Party!

After leaving Megan's soccer party I headed out to dinner with a group of friends to help celebrate my wonderful friend Mary Jo Sullivan's Birthday. We had a delicious dinner at Maggiano's and great conversation. A fun night!

Megan's Soccer Party

Megan's End of the Season Soccer Party was held at the twins home-her team-mates- Ashley & Sydney. The kids had a wonderful time swimming in the pool, eating yummy hamburgers & hot dogs and enjoying some "Trophy" Cupcakes! We ended the party with an unbelievable video of the girls throughout the season and of course the Trophy Presentation. Megan loves the Dragonflies and loves Coach Todd. Thanks for another undefeated and unbelievable season. See you in the Fall!

Relay for Life

Well, Relay for Life was originally scheduled for May 1st. However, because of the Swine Flu scare, it was rescheduled for May 15th. Not a problem, except for the fact that Ashley...my baby and best friend couldn't be there with me. She and Mike had to head out to San Antonio earlier today for a big softball tournament. She was very much missed by me and her Youth Group. I had a nice surprise though when Dylan and Grandpa Dean came to walk with me during my hour. It was wonderful support! Thank you!!
The theme this year was COLOR OF A CURE. During this process I found out that each cancer has its own color. I never knew that! Our church color was Orange for Leukemia. This color meant even more to me since my Grandma Betty was diagnosed just two months ago with Leukemia. Thus our theme was CRUSH CANCER! The banner was awesome!
WOW!!!!! I had the most unbelievable experience tonight with our church - Grace Avenue UMC and my first Relay for Life. I signed up many months ago, not really realizing what exactly Relay was all about. Tonight...I found out! I don't think in all my years I have ever been to an event in which every emotion I have was touched. The entire evening was amazing and powerful beyond words. All I can say is that I am so glad I was a part of it and can not wait until next year.

Frisco Lego Store Opens!

Do you believe it?? Frisco, TX now has its own Lego Store in Stonebriar Mall. Dylan got a special invitation to kick off the Grand Opening Celebration today. Dad and Dylan headed to the mall for some major "building with bricks". Dylan helped in the beginning process of creating an 8 foot R2D2 with a Lego Ambassador and a Lego Master Builder. You can only imagine Dylan's excitement!

Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day was such a special day. We went to church and heard a WONDERFUL sermon, went to a yummy lunch at Cheddars with Grandma & Grandpa, Mary Jo and the Sullivan kiddos. We then spent the afternoon working in the yard and ended the day taking the kids to the park. It was wonderful family time and much enjoyed by all! The kids and Mike spoiled me with flowers, cards, hand-made gifts and a beautiful chain from James Avery for my Cross. I have the BEST kids and husband anyone could ever ask for. I love all four of you with all of my heart.

Boals Field Day 2009

Dylan and I had Field Day today at Boals and had an absolute blast! The weather was perfect, the events were lots of fun (the highlight is always the Grade Level Tug-o-War) and we had some great sportsmanship shown. Here are a few pictures I was able to snap of Dylan when I saw him and one of me when the teachers played Tug-o-War! Fun Times!!
