Hi my name is Becky and I have a tendency to control.  I am a martry but I have hope and so do you.  I need a plan/schedule/structure in my life.  I don't do well or feel like I accomplish anything without a to do list.  God showed me I can't control everything this week in fact when my daughter was sent home with a head full of lice.  Ridding the household of this is a time consuming process that was NOT part of the plan for an already busy week at work and home.  But God is faithful and the judgment of others has not occurred but welcomed support of Honey I have been there was received.

Here is Rocco in action at the swim meet. Here are Rocco's dives!

Front Dive



Back Dive


And the relay team!!

Gametime music!

Bog the 5th here. This is the music we get our kids on our football team fired up with now! debuted today and it was too windy to get the sound but here is the music for now.

Football Practice

Brett Favre better retire before has to face this! Check out #21! Check out the handsome coach too!!

Dive

While many of my posts have been of Amy dancing, Rocco has been faithful at swimming lessons since last Fall and will continue this summer. Here is his achievement so far. He is swimming awesome, and still working on his diving techniques! :)

This time it wasn't me!

Check out what a school bus did to John's truck. He saw the whole thing happen! Poor Sid!

Hokey Pokey

Check out Amy performing at her school concert last night. Amy is third from the left. The other two girls are her friends Olivia and Caitlyn.

Ice Fishing

So we went ice fishing, with not such good luck...until we were packing up to go. A tip up was up and Rocco pulled up this fish.

February Fun

Here is Amy's latest dance! The girls in the class choreographed it themselves. Click play, it should work even though the screen is black.

This is really a test of whether or not I remember how to upload video but enjoy the kids playing on the beach during our trip.

Under the Sea

Our Amy is still dancing and loving it! Here is there routine for Under the Sea. Coincides nicely with our anticipated trip to Florida next week. I will see if Rocco wants me to post a video of him doing a belly flop in swimming lessons! :)

Monster Mash

Here is Amy's Halloween routine at dance class. Her partner isn't really into it but Amy does great or should I say Hot, hot, hot? :)

Future Profession

Amy likes to take pictures - see if you recognize yourself.




Our neighbor Betty.

Rocco and Auntie Cathy


Her new flip flops with gems (which Amy pronounces as jams)

I could go on and on!

Fishy, fishy in the Brook

The Boggio family got some fishing in this summer. We all enjoy it. Here are some of the catches!

Fourth of July we all took turns reeling in this bottom feeder.


John and Rocco went fishing on Lake Michigan and caught some King Salmon.


John caught these when we were canoeing on the WI River with church.


The fish weren't really biting for our weekend in the Lake Tomahawk area but the kids did catch some frogs.

What a rush!

The Boggios were in the Dells last weekend. Rocco and Amy went on their first "real" roller coaster rides. Amy was only big enough for one (which she loved) but Rocco got to experience three of them at Mt Olympus Theme Park. The biggest one, Hades, takes you underground, in the dark. Here is the historic moment captured on film as they descended under the parking lot.



Our friends, the Leedle Boys, are sitting behind them Mason and his dad Jeff.

Despite how he appears, Rocco loved it!

Take me out to the Ball Game!

So we think Amy has attended one too many Brewer Games this year (We have been to three). She was eating some shelled peanuts for a snack and this is where she disposed of her shells. Right on the kitchen floor.



We had a little talk about how the baseball game and Texas Roadhouse are the only places where you can throw your peanut shells on the floor. Or at The Showboat in the Dells, but she has 16 years before she is legally allowed into that place!!

Happy July!

Here is how we left the house this morning!!




Here is the picture we took of our big brother after her picture was taken.



I love the casualness of summer and my in-laws!!

Wise Decision?

See what happens when you leave heavy, earth moving equipment parked in front of our house?





The Boggios take over. We even tried looking for the keys to the bulldozer in an attempt to do some landscaping to our front yard. No luck!

Compass Presentation

Sunday evening was the year end celebration for Rangers and Rangers at church. Amy achieved her Honorary Rainbow pin by earning all possible badges over the last two years.



Rocco began attending Rangers two and half years ago. Most of the boys in his group started when they started Kindergarten. He also earned all possible badges for his group along with three other boys. That had never been accomplished before and all the boys were presented with a compass. We are really proud of him.



I also would like a tiny recognition as I have sewn on all the badges on the kids vests and have a bunch to put on Rocco's vest too as he earned a bunch in this last quarter. It may take me all summer.

A Star is Born

Well the long anticipated recital ocurred last Saturday. I have tried several times to load the video from dress rehearsal but I think it is too long and won't upload. It wasn't very good quality but would have given you a flavor. Amy LOVED being on stage. The recital was great. I really enjoyed all of the performances. Amy's song was second to last but it was totally worth the wait. They darkened the stage between each number. For the first show, Amy walked across the stage and back again before she found her spot to start the song. We will be taking a collection for all future recitals in the event Amy is in more than one number. Some of the girls performed five or six times. Knowing Amy's costume was $40, and you start multiplying that....Ouch! It will be worth it though. She has totally been on cloud nine.

Now imagine some maracas, bright orange.



We are pretty sure Rocco was her biggest fan.



I need to get ready to do it all again next year. I was exhausted for the next two days.
