Mud Run

For the 2nd year in a row Erica did the De Jr. Mud Run again. It was extra muddy this year due to all the rain we had in the couple of days before the race. She raised $200.00 for cancer.

 

Happy Father's Day.

Had lunch with Mike, Pop, Shawn and Patrick for Father's Day. We made the trip to Lancaster. We ate at Miller's. It was really good. Had a nice drive and a good day.

 

Happy Mother's Day

Hope all the wonder Mother's, Grandmother's in my family and my friends have a great Mother's Day. I know I have already. Nice day for bubbles, jumping and cooking on the grill.

 

Erica's 7th Grade Spring Formal

Yesterday was Erica's formal. We got her hair done. She did her own nails. The dance was at the middle school. When she got home she said she had fun dancing. They also served them dinner. It was just like a Prom and she looked so pretty in her dress. Brought tears to Mike's eyes.

 

Honor Roll. FFA Award and Banquet.

Erica received High Honors again and made the Honor Roll for the 3rd marking period.

Erica also had her FFA awards and banquet. She received two awards.  She had a good time and she looked really pretty.

 

We Pray for you Boston.

Washington DC Class Field Trip.

I had the pleasure of being a chaperone for Erica's 7th Grade class trip today. We got to go to Washington DC.  We have great weather. Hope you enjoy the pictures. This post is kinda picture heavy.

The Washington Monument was under repairs. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Saw the Hope Diamond. No they did not let me leave with it.

Happy Easter

Hope Everyone has a Hoppy Easter.

Erica and her Easter basket.

Happy Birthday Mike

Mike's birthday today. Had a good dinner and cake.

 

Awards

Erica received an award from her 6th grade DCAS test. She received the silver medal. It was for Math and Reading. They give them out a year after the test is taken because they are state test and take awhile to be reviewed.

Spring Forward.

Don't forget to put your clocks ahead before you go to bed on Saturday. We are moving into Spring.

Catching up.

This post will have alot of pictures, as I have been very bad at updating the blog.

Erica had the flu was down and out for about a day and 1/2.  She also had a tooth pulled in order for the Orthodontist to see how the other tooth would come in and how it would affect her braces.

Erica turned 13 on December 31st. We had a simple day with shopping and cupcakes afterwards with her friend Ashlyn. We also had a simple New Year's Eve celebration to ring in 2013. Last Saturday I got to meet Jeremy Roenick. Mike's favorite USA born hockey player. Mike had to work so I went instead. I asked Mr. Roenick if I could get a picture and he was more than happy to do so.

He was so nice, he spoke with everyone and even asked them their's names and shook their hands.  Mike missed a great person.

HOCKEY IS BACK. Mike went with our neighbors to the Flyer's, Pens game this Saturday. Even though the Flyer's lost he said he had a good time.
