Sorry it has been awhile...

I apologize that it has been so long since I last posted an update. I didn't realize that time flies by so quickly until the kids only has a week left of school and then realized that nothing would get done until they went back to school in August. I will try to update you on everything that has kept us so busy.

1. Cole went to basketball camp in February. He really enjoys this sport and had a great time!

2. Zoe celebrated her 6th birthday and Cole his 8th. They sure do grow up fast! I just can't believe where the time went. New bikes were the presents this year... they love them and spend so much time on them.

3. Both of the kids had their Spring concerts at school and they both did great! It is wonderful that we are able to have such a great music program at our school that is fun & creative!

4. We went to several Ice Hogs games this season. The kids were able to take friends and had a great time. We went to one game that had the mascot for the Blackhawks and it was trying to eat Cole.

4. Zoe has attended a couple Girl Scout events this spring. She enjoyed the Thinking Day event and really had fun at the Mother & Daughter Spa Event in Galena. She is looking forward to Camporee in August.

5. Easter was fun this year... the kids remember our tradition every year, so we have a great time hiding and finding the eggs. They also love their "springy" gifts instead of a basket just filled with candy.

6. I went to the Carrie Underwood concert in April... and it was awesome! I ended up taking with me 3-15yr old girls, but it was still a good time. We had awesome seats in the 2nd floor and Carrie Underwood's truck stopped right over top of us and was about 15 feet away. The girls with me also got to touch Craig Morgan... and they think he is little hottie for an older man. :)

7. We all stayed pretty healthy this winter with the exception of Zoe and myself getting strep at the end of April.

8. Cole finished Sylvan at the end of April. He has raised his reading level at school by 8 levels! We are so happy that he is finally a relaxed reader and that he enjoys reading so much more. Way to go Cole!

9. In May, Zoe brigded from a Daisy to a Brownie Girl Scout... we are so proud of Zoe for finishing her Daisy program and for continuing on to become a Brownie. Way to go Zoe!

All-in-all it was a very good and busy winter!
