Happy Birthday Sidney JO! Can you believe how quickly time goes?
Already my baby is 6! Graduated from kindergarten and having a birthday party!

At our house, if your a girl (lol they all are) you get an American

Girl doll when you turn 6. She was totally surprised and loves her -- Lanie! Better pics

soon!

Mrs.Bowersock and Sidney

Sisters!!! Sorry your eyes are closed Kenz!

Ok and Sid's eyes are closed here....I bet t his is making my

sister crazy that I post these uncropped pics w/ peoples eyes closed!

Crazy few weeks!
Last week -- McKenzie graducated from DARE! She had great test scores so she was able to leave school and have lunch at Pizza Hut! Plus they were all able to attend a party last Friday night at the YMCA.

Kerstin had her 2nd grade spring program and had a dancing part ( big surprise right?)! On the same night Kenzie had her first softball scrimmage of the season.

Friday we had 2 recital rehersals. Sid performs in the petite performance and Kerstin dances in the grand performance.

Saturday a.m. McKenzie had the county track meet and did very well in teh softball throw! WAY TO GO MCKENZIE!
The we had 1:00 recital for Kerstin, 4:30 recital for Sidney and 7:00 recital for Kerstin!

Sunday the girls and I went to Lincolnview day at the Tin Caps in Ft.Wayne! It was very hot so we left in the 6th and had ice cream on the way home!

More pics later this week as Sidney Jo graduates from kindergarden tonight, attends the zoo tomorrow and has her 6th bday on Wed!!

Kenzie has 3 softball games, her 4H pigs to tend to and a field trip this week as well!

I think Kerstin actually has a week off before summer All Star cheer starts!

Are you tired yet? I am!!

Cowboy sweetheart!

Miss Marissa and Kerstin before recital! This was Marissa's first

year and she did a GREAT job! She's a very good dancer!

Kenz at DARE Graduation!

Kerstin dancing!

DANCE!!
This is Kerstin's 5th year of dance! She will receive a trophy tomorrow night at the 7PM performance. It's so hard to believe she LOVES to dance so much when she is such a shy peanut sometimes. It truly is her sport!

Sidney will have her 1st (and last according to her) recital tomorrow! She is so cute and knows her dance well but claims "I'm quitting everything so I can play" Which is actually fine w/ me!

Kenzie has 3 softball games next week and a track meet Saturday! GOOD LUCK MCKENZIE! Along w/ her sisters most of her BFF's will be dancing this weekend so she enjoys watching.

See our Wal-Mart photos!
Will post pics from recital next week!

What a crazy week we had! First there was Teacher Appreciation week - THANK YOU to all teachers out there! This is the amazing cake I took on Thursday (we did something each day) Tiffany Spray from Van Wert made this cake:

Plugging away we also had the mini-Relay for Life at Lincolnview on Friday and they raised funds all week! They are great! They have raised over $5100+ for VW County RFL! THANK YOU Lincolnview!

By Wednesday we were busy getting set up for our main RFL event at the Marsh Foundation! An amazing site for our event and at closing Saturday we had raised approx $51,000! for the American Cancer society! It was a very cold and windy weekend! But so worth it!

On Sat. morning we had the 5K at RFL and my sister in law Callie and cousin Logan ran in the race! I am so proud of them and jealous I didn't run! Maybe next year! Thanks to all who ran and participated!

Finally, Sunday HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all those amazing moms out there! I had a busy day since we are farming and playing beat the rain games this spring. As you can see from our annual mothers day pic...I managed to get out of bed and shower but that's about it! Looking forward to a slower week and an exciting weekend!

Love to all!

It's Relay for Life time in Van Wert!
Why do you Relay?
Why don't you?
Be sure to stop at the Marsh Foundation Friday May 7 starting at 6PM anytime until 3PM Saturday! Tons (I mean tons) of food, games, entertainment (really, really great entertainment), auction, and amazing people who have fought cancer and won...our survivors!

THANK YOU to everyone who participates and makes our local Relay a success!

This helps put things in perspective!

Jeff & Peyton

My cute horse owner and his beautiful daughter!

Fun with friends at Kentucky Derby party!

I miss my sister.....(and her fam)
If only I could drive to see her or meet her half way! =(
I really miss her kids too! =(
My schedule is full and there is little time to make a trip to see her. When I do I will take a case of Lucky Charms to Payton and a box of Popsicles too!

Try to treasure the moments and simple things in life. Hugs and Love to all!

Sidney Jo! LOVES...LOVES to be outside! As soon as she is home from school she is on her bike, playing house on the porch or playing on the swingset. As you can see she has turned into a monkey and her fav thing at school is the monkey bars! Also I found out this afternoon it's her fav thing at home too! Only her blisters are now busted open and our swing set is rusty. not the best combo!

Kids minus Josie!

GRANDPARENTS!!!

Great Grandma Norma

Kerstin and her YUMMY cake!

Friday Night. McKenzie's first band concert! They did a great job!

The kids all went to ride the 'dirt hills' behind Ron's house and came back with their bodies, bikes and shoes COVERED in mud!

Sweet Josie! She missed the group shots because she was taking a nap!

Josie LOVED Great-Grandma's birthday cake! Just like a little bird...feed me more!

Happy 92 Grandma!! This woman is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
