Easter

Here are just a few pics of the family on Easter. I wanted to have one of just Me, Patrick and the boys but needless to say you can't get the three boys to cooperate..

I know that I miss those days when the kids use to hunt for eggs, oh how they grow up too fast.

Soccer Game

Eric, who made the school soccer team, had his first game last week (4/9/09). I was so proud of him. He did very good for his first year in soccer. Keep up the hard work and stick with it, things pay off in the end. The pics didn't turn out like I would have liked due to the position of the sun but I can't complain, it was such a beautiful day..

Seth's Promotion

Seth joined the young marines a year ago and a month ago he was promoted from Private to Private 1st class. Way to go, Seth!! All that hard work pays off.

He has also been awarded ribbons for basic training, salesmanship, basic first aid, physical fitness, advanced first aid, fire prevention, and academic achievement.

IRAQ

Here are a few pics from when Patrick was in Iraq last year. He was stationed real close to what use to be Abrahams house in the ancient Biblical city of Ur. The first pic is from the top of the Ziggurat temple looking out over whats left of the city of Ur and the second pic is of him standing in the inner courtyard of Abrahams' house.
