Time to "Catch up"!

June is here and so is my summer break.  I will post a few photos from Easter and Mother's Day here, trying to catch up from the last few months of activities!
Easter Sunday was celebrated this year with a large family gathering at a reserved ramada in Power Ranch where Alissa and Alan live.  It was a warm day, however, there was lots of shade, and the breeze made the temperature OK.
 Cailyn and Landon are ready for a fun picnic!
 Ken, Dad and Cindy with Cailyn & Landon 
and below are some of Terry's family enjoying the shade!
 Mike with some of Corissa's family.
 Alissa and Alan with their friends, Kim and Ward.
 Time for an Easter Egg hunt...lots of plastic eggs filled with treats!
 Cailyn is happy with all the eggs she found!
 MaryBeth and Chris were also celebrating their 6th wedding anniversary!
 Nick and Jen joined us after their Easter brunch with Nick's family!


On Saturday night before Mother's Day, our children hosted a potluck dinner at Mike & Corissa's home.  What a treat for me and I loved seeing everyone together around the dinner table.  We enjoyed delicious homemade spaghetti and turkey meatballs....
  delicious salad....
and garlic bread!
  Uncle Alan getting some exercise before dinner....

Landon keeps us smiling!

Time to cuddle with Nick...
and the girls are all set to enjoy yummy cheesecake for dessert!

 On Sunday, MaryBeth and Chris hosted a lovely luncheon to celebrate mothers!  Unfortunately, some of Terry and Ken's family were ill, so we were a small group this year.  We enjoyed our time together very much!
