Jamee Bridging to Junior Girls Scouts

Jamee is officially a Jr. Girl Scout now. She recently bridged over from Brownies to Jr.'s. We are so proud of her for sticking with Girl Scouts. This will be her 4th year. We love her troop leader. Jamee's troop leader has even taken on a bigger job of becoming Anne Mari's troop leader since Annie's troop disbanded. Anne Mari is now a cadet. We are proud of her as well.

Anne Mari DARE Graduation

Anne Mari recently graduated from DARE this year. Here she is receiving her diploma. We are very proud of her for promising to be Drug Free. We know she will make us proud parents. She is such a good girl. Way to go Annie!!!!

Josh Kindergarten Graduation

It is hard to believe that my baby boy graduated from Kindergarten this year. Where has the time gone? Just yesterday I delivered him via C-section and holding him in my arms. Boy what an adventure I've been on since he was born. I wouldn't trade it for the world. He has grown so much this year. I am soooo proud of him. Josh recieved the "Always Smiling Award" at the end of the school year. His teacher, Miss Mulloy, said he always had a smile on his face even when he got into trouble in class. He is definately a "West" kid.

Easter 2010

Here are some pictures from Easter. We don't get dressed up fancy often so I thought I would capture the Kodak moment with a few pictures. James unfortunately had to work this Easter so we celebrated Easter mass with Grammy and Grampy. It is nice hear the mass in Slovak. The Easter bunny visited our house and left some presents in their Easter baskets.

My Mother's Day Breakfast

My wonderful kids made their mother breakfast for Mother's Day. Each one made something different. Josh decided to make chocolate chip muffins. He did everything I just supervised. They were delicious. Jamee cooked turkey sausage and Anne Mari made her famous cheesy scrambled eggs. Uncle Tony I think you have some competition! The food was delicious. It was nice not to have to cook a meal. What a nice start to Mother's Day!!!! I love my kids.

Jamee's 1st Holy Communion

Jamee celebrated her First Holy Communion last month. She was so excited and nervous. We started the day with some pampering. She got her nails done and then off to the beauty shop to get her hair done. Afterwards, we headed to Walmart to get her portraits done so we could remember this moment. Doesn't she look like a little angel. The next day we celebrated with family and friends. May God bless her always.

Beta Club Induction

Anne Mari was inducted into the Beta Club-National Jr. Honor Society today. She received this honor because of her outstanding character and achievement. She must take after her mom (haha)We are very proud of her. Both her grandparents were there to share this special occasion with her too. Unfortunately, James was working and unable to make it :(. It broke his heart that he couldn't be there, but we took a lot of pictures for him to look at.
