4 year old Preschool Graduation

We are way behind in getting these pictures posted! The week before the kids birthday was preschool graduation. It was really cold that day but we met at the Romeo Community Center for a little ceremony and party with their class, Mrs Daniel, and Mrs Kimball. Aunt Becca, Uncle Steve, Grandma, Grandpa Huddas, and I were all lucky enough to be able to make it there. Next year we are on to kindergarten at Hamilton Parsons!!!

We have the first lost tooth in our house! Katie lost her first tooth a couple of days before her 5th birthday, we're just slow in getting it posted... She lost her second tooth already as well while we were gone camping for Clay's birthday. No lost or even loose teeth yet for Seamus or Helena. Katie is very proud and excited that she was the first one to loose a tooth!

Clay's Birthday and Father's Day weekend

This year for Clay's birthday we all went camping. It was fun being able to hang out for the entire weekend with the kids, my parents, siblings, and our extended "family". We got to go swimming, fishing, sat around the campfire, rode a trolley, celebrated Clay's birthday, and did a ton of other fun stuff. It was so fun, that it took us a couple of days to recover from all of it!

Last Day of Soccer

This year's soccer season flew by. It was fun being able to coach the kids and their cousin Drew, but Pat and I have decided to hang it up in the coaching department for a while and see how the kids do next year with someone else coaching. Seamus and Drew will be able to continue to play together on a boys team and Katie and Helena will as well on a girls team. No more co-ed for us!

5th Birthday

The kids 5th birthday was a work day for Pat and I so the celebration didn't begin until the afternoon. We started by opening presents. The kids got roller blades and pads for their birthday this year as well as a t ball set and some balls. We then went to dinner at Shogun's Japanese Steakhouse with Grandma and Grandpa Huddas. The trio had never had hibachi before so they were pretty excited about the show that came along with their meal.

5th Birthday Party

This year we had the kids 5th birthday party on Sunday May 26th. The theme of the party was super heroes which the kids are totally into right now. We again had the ice cream sundae station which is always a big hit as well as a pinata. Thanks again to everyone who was able to come and help make their 5th birthday party a memorable one!

The whole crew!

May 24th was Polish Night at Comerica Park. The kids had a great time dancing on the field with the Zamek Dancers. I can remember doing this as a kid myself at the old Tiger's Stadium with the Opole Dancers. Uncle Steve, Aunt Melanie, and Uncle Ed joined us for a great game and a Tigers win. We almost got to see a no hitter pitched as well! We even stayed after the game to watch the fireworks. This is definitely something we'll look forward to doing again next year.
