Auction for Education

Every year our school has an Auction for Education (this year hosted by close friends; Vettels & Cheasicks) that we attend. This is a fundraiser our church & school have to raise money for all religious programs. But, any time you get a bunch of Catholics together, you know there will be some good drinking involved! And when drinking is involved, people are always more generous with their money!!! This years theme was the 80's. We had such a good time dressing up. Jim dressed up like Devo, while I dressed up like the Robert Palmer girls. The auction did a great job of raising just over $95,000.

Finally did it!

Sean has FINALLY learned how to ride his bicycle with only two wheels! At the age of 6, it is about time. For some reason, he is a cautious one, so we weren't surprised it took longer. But, we didn't even have to do anything. He was just ready. We pulled down his bike, he jumped on, needed help a couple times, and then he was off. By the end of the night, even after it was dark, he kept asking if we could go out and ride our bikes some more. Then the first thing he said when he walked in the door after school was, "Mom, can we go for a bike ride?" He is loving this!

Mexico - Riviera Maya

Jim & I had an amazing time in Mexico with 38 friends. We had the most beautiful weather, enjoyed the sun, partied lots, ate lots, and relaxed lots! We spent one day touring the Mayan Ruins in Chichen Itza. We are just so lucky to have such wonderful friends!
