70 Years

We attended the 70th Wedding Anniversary Celebration of Joey's Great-Aunt Ida & Great-Uncle Jeff this weekend. Amazing... 70 Years. Just how God intended it to be. One man, one woman. For life. I love watching them walk together... the quiet cadence that only a lifetime of loving each other could produce. What a blessing to be given so many years with the love of your life! Here are a few pictures...

Granddaddy's Visit

We were so happy to get to see Granddaddy this weekend... it is so much fun watching how much he gets tickled by the kiddos!

HAT TRICK

At today's soccer game, Reilly got a HAT TRICK! (That is 3 GOALS for those who don't know!!!) It was so AWESOME! Which incidentally, let his team win 8-7. Of course, the score isn't kept by anyone but the competitive fathers in attendance. :) After the game, he insisted on calling everyone who may have missed it. He said that at the next game, he'll score 4 !!


Reilly got so DIRTY!!!



A Kiss for Sister...

So proud of our boy!

Reilly is READING!!

Reilly and I have been having "school time" at home for quite a while now, and last week he started READING!!! He sounds out 3 and 4 letter words, like bug, mat, fish, camp, tent, etc! We're so proud of him in this great beginning, and hope that his love of books will continue!

Library

Reilly and I have been making trips to the library quite frequently, since he was around 2. We always take his rolling backpack, and fill it with books to last us two weeks or so. I thought this time, we should get him his very own library card! He was SO excited... he got to sign his name on the back and used it to check out his books- all by himself! He looked so proud! I wish I had taken my camera to snap some pictures of that, but here are a few from home!



Reilly has learned so much from the books we borrow. His favorites at the moment are about how bees make honey, (which he describes in detail at any mention of the word) and one about the body... inside and out. So he is now well versed in anatomy!

Snakes Soccer

Here are some pics from Reilly's last soccer game, he was "team captain".



And here's Reilly's biggest fan!



And the Mimi...

Reilly's Foray into Photography

Reilly Bear took these pictures in our backyard- I think he's got talent, but he's still set on being a racecar driver. Oh well... ;)

A Green-Eyed Boy & A Blue-Eyed Girl

Our boy has green eyes like his Daddy, and so far- Avery has my blue ones...

Avery is 5 Months Old

Easter Sunday

Avery's first Easter!



My favorite pics of Avery with Mimi & Grandpa!

Avery's First Cereal

When Joey fed Avery her first cereal, she had a very mixed reaction. She made an unpleasant face, but then acted like she wanted MORE!! Yum!

Reilly's First GOAL!!

During Reilly's second soccer game a few weeks ago, he scored his very first GOAL!! (Well, his first 2 goals actually.) His rather large cheering section burst into hysterics- I'm sure all the people staring at us in our matching shirts thought we were fanatics. IT WAS FULLY AWESOME! ;) Joey was BEAMING with pride. Of course, I cried. And I'm not even completely sure why. Maybe it was because I knew how badly he wanted to score a goal, and I was so amazed watching him achieve something he tried so hard for. Or maybe it was because I could (sort of) see him scoring goals in college- the way I watched his Daddy do it. Maybe, it was a little of both.
Thanks Mimi & Grandpa, Honey, and Nana & Granddad for being there to witness the first of many. Way to go buddy, we're so proud!
