OOps... I never get this hotmail stuff right... At our game last night... Alex playing 1st base.
And doing a fine job of it too.
After Promotion, at Chili's... our tradition of lunching out after school's out.
Why does Johnny look so happy? Because Miss Teen California 2009 was his Teacher's Asst. this year, and he informed me she was "hot"! He giggled and danced when she was signing his yearbook...he couldn't contain his happiness.
Alex and his Teacher... Mrs. Nicholls.
Accepting his "charge"
Work, Work, Work... but they loved it!
My cousin, Joe, and my two oldest...
I loved this balloon sculpture...
Johnny stirring the pasta... the pot was big enough for him to climb into and take a bath if needed!!!
