Sweetie played her last soccer game on Saturday.  Her team placed second in the end of the season tournament.

P7091518Sweet Tooth (AKA Papi) was caught on camera trying to sneak some candy.

P7091633It’s a guy thing!  Dad and Father L took dibs on who got to take the first ride on the new mower.  Father won, of course.

P7091626The girls took a break from cleaning at our parish.

P7091636The kids enjoyed some water fun with the home-made slip-n-slide.  This is a step up from our days as kids.  Dad and I used black garbage bags.  We were inspired to bring out the tarp from these dear kids.

P7081444Dragonfly can’t have just one.  He is convinced that he needs a sucker for both hands.

Papi enjoying his view from the deck.  He is much happier being mischievous exploring than swimming.

I just held my last Little Flowers Meeting for the 2010-2011 session.  It was a day retreat.  The girls and I had a JOYfilled time.  

ALL FOR JESUS THROUGH MARY was the theme.
~~~
These scripture bags are lightweight and medium sized, perfect for my Little Flowers.  They make me happy every time I see them.  I love wearing and sharing my faith. 
What says summer better than a Rosary made from pool noodles?  You can find the directions for this summer Rosary at Catholic Icing.  Thanks Lacey for all your faithfilled craft ideas.

Father M and two visiting seminarians joined the retreat.  They couldn’t resist the homemade Gracefilled Bubbles.
ALL FOR JESUS THROUGH MARY!
