May Crowning of Mary

Alex was honored with the task of carrying the crown for Mary's May Crowning at church on Sunday. He and Josie carried it down the aisle at the beginning of Mass and then crowned Mary. They both did a wonderful job for such a special occasion.

Pretty, pretty princesses!

Field Day at the Ranch

The boys had a blast at their annual field day. Here is Alex with his teammates trying to fill the leaky pipes and then carry those pipes over to fill up a bucket. Searching for marbles with their toes:

A night with our friends

We were able to go to our good friends, Aurelia and Arabella's house. Our parents had game night and talked while we played and had fun together. It is always a special treat to get to spend time with them because we don't get a chance to see them very often.
Here are Gracie and Aurelia.

Muffins With Mom

Today, Gracie's preschool had a special Muffins with Mom. It was very sweet and all the moms got to go in and have muffins with the teachers and kids before school started. Here is Gracie with her teacher, Ms. Leda:

It was a big day because after Muffins with Mom, Gracie got to celebrate her birthday with her classmates. She wanted cupcakes with pink frosting. No surprise there...

Alex's First Holy Communion

We celebrated a very special day for Alex on Saturday. He received his First Holy Communion. He has been preparing for it for the last 2 years. We had all of our family with us to celebrate the special event. Alex was very excited and very proud. Gracie was happy that she had another reason to wear her favorite pink dress.
