My chaotic life raising six kids
We had a BBQ and pool party to celebrate memorial day. We were thrilled that our new BBQ island arrived just in time for the first pool party of the summer. I had been getting over a sinus infection and pink eye, so wasn’t feeling that great during the party. Everyone else had a great time though.
Falyn enjoyed showing her daddy around her classroom at the open house this evening.

So proud of Talia for being nominated for two Gold Shield Awards, one in science and one in social science. It is quite an honor to be nominated as a Sophomore for this award. Only a small percentage of the top students at the school get nominated.
Talia was Confirmed today during a lovely mass presided over by Bishop Flores. Aunt Samantha, who is her godmother, was her sponsor.
Congratulations to Aidan and Kayli or bringing home National Mythology Test medals today. Kayli received a silver medal and Aidan got a bronze one.
