Kiley's Preschool Graduation

Today our baby girl graduated from preschool!  Can't believe she'll be off to kindergarten next year!  Where has the time gone?  Here are a few pictures from the day and a video of their performance they did for us, (all under a black light).

 

Needless to say Mom was crying quite a bit today!  So proud of our little lady!

Kiley's First Dance Recital

There have been a lot of first in this house lately.  This Saturday Kiley danced in her first dance recital.  She was wonderful and had a fun time.  Didn't seem nervous at all.  We were so proud of her!

 

 

 

Here are her videos.  First tap and then ballet.

Zack's First Communion

On May 4th Zack made his first communion for the first time!

We are so excited and proud of him. He read the first reading for the mass that day and sang a song with the other 1st Communion kids. He did a wonderful job. Here are the videos.

 

 

Frozen - Cooley Cousin Style

"Let it Go" by the Cooley Cousins

We went over to my Cousin's house yesterday to meet their little baby girl Charlie.  The older kids broke out in song when this song came on.  We could hear them from the basement belting it out.

Zack's First Reconciliation

Very proud of Zack. Also on Saturday December 7th Zack made his first reconciliation (Darin was with Kiley, I was with Zack). 

He did great but he forgot about the absolution blessing so once Fr. Paul (pastor of his school who was helping out at our church) put his hand up to bless him and Zack gave him a high 5! He thought he was congratulating him on a good job with his confession.  
:-)

Gave the parents behind us and Fr. Paul a good little tension release.   Also made our pastor, Fr. Brad's day on Sunday I told him.  I've never seen him laugh so hard.  :-)
