Mother's Day

We spent Mother's Day at home this year.  We went to church where Kelly was a part of the May Crowning Mass with all the other First Communicants.  Then we came home and Brian grilled out....followed by a game of Domino's.  A nice, relaxing Mother's Day!

150 Cookie Party!!!

 The Dyersville Girl Scouts Service Unit puts on a special party for any girl scouts who sells 150 (or more) boxes of cookies!  Kelly has been lucky enough to attend this party all three years!!!
**Kindergarten she sold 155 boxes
**1st grade she sold 175 boxes
**2nd grade she sold 187 boxes
The girls who qualify get to vote for three things they would like to do.  This year....they went to Jumpin' Janes for pizza, cookies, and a jumping good time!
(We'll see what happens next year....when I have two girls in girl scouts!  We would have to sell 300 boxes as a family to get them both to this 150 party!)
We had 14 girls in our 2nd grade troop sell 150 boxes (or more) of cookies to come to the 150 party!
**Kayla, Ava, Charlotte, Stephanie, Gabbi, Kelly, Maggie, Sharidan, Kiya (who sold 500 boxes of cookies!)
**Josie, Kaitlyn, Jessica, Ashley, Helena

Swim practice...

Kelly has swim team practice with DASH twice a week.  Lately, Molly has had to come with me as Brian is working so many track meets.  I LOVE the days that Chloe is at the pool!!!  It only happens once out of every 6-8 practices (on average), but the days they are both at the pool.....are amazing!
Chloe is Riley's little sister.....and Riley and Kelly are in the same green group.

Little sisters having fun at the pool while the big sisters have swim practice!
