The Bodnar Family....

This past weekend we celebrated 2-birthdays in the Bodnar family. Mr. Patrick turned 13 years old this past Wednesday...a teenager!!! Look out Steve and Coletta...we also celebrated Steve's 41st birthday on Friday. We also had the adult fishing contest this Saturday at Tri-boro....unfortunately, the adults did not have as much luck as the kids did last Saturday, but fun was had by all. As you will see below, you will see the cake that Coletta made for Patrick and some other pictures from this weekend....enjoy.

Easter Sunday

Well, it is now Easter Sunday evening..and we are all exhausted....it has been a long weekend and a very long day. We had a gorgeous day with those blue skies I talked about below....however it was windy, so the wind has knocked wind out of us!...and I actually got a bit of sunburn on my chest today...it was a day full of family. We started out at Rogers house, where it was us, Roger, Chris & Jen and baby Chase..and Steve & Coletta and family...we had a nice casual lunch and than the eggs came out and we hid them on the kids....and of course the whiffle balls and bats came out and the boys and the men played whiffleball. We than headed over to Aunt Carols and the kids played baseball again and we just sat relaxed with each other. The boys and I are off again tomorrow, but B. Mike needs to go back to work so he is already in bed. I'm off to have a piece of peanut butter pie that noone ate today because there was so much other stuff to eat. Enjoy our day.

Kids fishing contest

Just a quick little blip about our Saturday before Easter...it was the kids fishing contest....which my Michael is now too old to participate in...so he was the helpful brother and cousin and friend yesterday. It was a gorgeous day yesteray...a bit windy, but we spent the entire day outside yesterday. All the kids did very well fishing with Nick taking 4th place and Patrick 5th place. More photos to follow with Easter Sunday upon us......Hoppy Easter!

All the cousins and friends in the morning.....


How many kids does it take to get a fish off the hook?..
Here is our little fisherman in his very well fitting Akubra...this was the 4th place fish he caught...an 18inch rainbow trout.

Fishing Season!....

Here I sit...April Fool's Day....4-1-12...(noone tried to pull a fast one on me)....yesterday was opening day for fishing and the boys were sooooooooooooooo very excited.....Mike and the boys slept out in the camper Friday night.....so they could be ready for early Saturday morning when it is time to put the fish in...they were up by like 6am and had a very loooonnggggg day......Mom stayed at home Friday night allll by herself....I think I have done this the past few opening days.....you see, I am NOT a fisherperson....my version of fishing is to take a book and read. No desire, don't like it.....anyways...I had a lovely night/day and the boys had a great time fishing....the photo from below is actually from Sunday in our back yard...they went down back to the creek and went fishing again...Mike and I were working on landscaping/mulching and than I actually bartended for 4hours this arvo..(Mike was supposed to bartend but he wanted to fish with the boys and his neck has been bothering him)...so me, being the wonderful wife that I am, I bartended for my lovely husband......

This week is a short week for us in the school profession and for students...with Easter being this weekend, and having no snow make up days, we only have 3days of school...and than a small "spring" break...so I work M/T/W and than am off until next Tuesday!..woot-woot!...ready for a small break...

I also want to say Congrats to me bestie Leanne....I am so unbelieveably proud of you!!!...you are most certainly up and coming and doing so well!...Still waiting to chat with you, but for now, will keep reading your blogs as well...love and miss you my friend!
