June 2009....

Ok...now to the present month.....I know we haven't finished the month of June but we are 1/2 way thru!

We continue on our bowling league every Monday night. Brian & I enjoy the time we get to spend together!

June 5th Paige turned 3 yrs old! She had a wonderful party, Tea Party. A friend of mine from high school made a fabulous cake! Paige enjoyed all her family & friends.....also all the fun presents too!

Bret started Tee-Ball!! He is practicing right now every Saturday in June. His first game will be July 11th. Brian is helping coach as well, Bret tells him "I am very proud of you Daddy". Bret has been doing great. Hits the ball & has learned how to catch!!

Paige passed Pikes w/Parents & is now into Pikes....no Mommy or Daddy in the pool with her. She does a great job! She waits patiently (would have never thought) for her turn w/the teacher. She loves jumping off the wall into the water the best!

The kids got to go to a local waterpark for the 1st time!! The Beach Waterpark.....they had a great time w/their friends & in the water. We got rained out but we got rain checks to go again!

I added some pics....I also added some pics of the kids from May....we went to a few different parks around the area! Also a pic of our little vistor in our back yard one evening!

It has been a long time....

We are very sorry that it has been so long since we have updated our blog. Times just seems to get away from us!

So here is a quick update:

February -The biggest thing that happened was we registered Bret for Kindergarten. Yes...I cried all the way to the registration office to get the paper work. But I didn't drop a tear when we went to turn in the paperwork. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten Fall 2009!!

March - This was a very sad month for us. On March 6th Our best friend & the kids Uncle Paul passed away of massive heart attack at the age of 38. Paul was Brian's best friend & he was married to my best friend, Trina. Paul & Trina were how Brian & I met! The kids don't completely understand that Heaven isn't a place we can go visit him. He is always in our thoughts & we miss him VERY much!

April - Easter & Our 5 yr wedding Anniversary! The kids went to their first Easter Egg Hunt @ our church. They had a great visit from the Easter Bunny too. Brian & I celebrated our 5 yr Wedding Anniversary! It has been 5 wonderful years, the time has flown by. Also.....Bret did Tumbleweeds gymnastics at the YMCA while Paige did Pikes w/Parents swim class. They had a wonderful time & loved every minute. Oh....And our kitchen flooded while we were over visiting Mom. The hose off the back of the fridge that goes in for the water dispenser in the door slipped out! It was a HUGE mess!

May - Nothing to excited happened here. We started bowling on our church league Monday evenings. I went away with Trina & some other wonderful friends for a Scrapbookin' Retreat to The Zane Trace Inn in Somerset OH. Brian stayed home & watched the kids...his a great dad! Memorial Day weekend the kids & I went to Cleveland to hang out with Trina & the kids. Brian stayed home & painted the loft area, built me a huge cabinet in the garage for my canned goods & paper products.

That brings us to June.....I will make a seperate entry for June!

Hello & Welcome

Well after viewing a few friends blogs we decided that it was a great idea! Now we can keep our family & friends updated with everything going on with The sZekely Zoo!

A quick recap of what happened in 2008. Paige turned 2yrs old in June. Bret got his first glasses right before his birthday! Bret turned 4 yrs old in September. For an early Christmas gift, the kids Uncle Bob/godfather, got them a puppy. Zeke, he is an adorable puggle (pug/beagle mix). Bret has been playing soccer for a candy league at the YMCA, Go Junior Mints. The kids stay very active with classes at the YMCA; swimming, gymnatics, etc. Some things that weren't so good in 2008, Brian ended up with 10 stitches in his right eye from a metal object at work flying at him. Then 3 months later he managed to take a softball to the chin while playing men's softball, 9 stitches there! We were hoping he left those accidents in 2008, until last Monday Jan 5th he hit himself in the left eye with a cable/wire at work. He is doing much better now. All in all 2008 was great and we can't wait for 2009.

Some things that will be happening in 2009. June 5th Paige will be 3 yrs old. July 13th Brian will be the big 3-0! And Bret will be turning 5 yrs old in Sept along with starting Kindergarten! Wow does time fly when you are having fun.

Well we hope that you continue to check in and check out any new blogs and pics that we add.

Wishing Everyone a Happy & Wonderful 2009!
