April & May 2025

Happy 10th birthday to our Evie girl!!  This year we did a Tigers game with one of her best friends and had the family over to celebrate.

Happy 10th Birthday, Evie!

New bike


There was a Pistons hype party downtown, so
the girls got free cotton candy, tattoos and balloons!

Friends since preschool

We love our 10 year old

Meeting Paws

Ferris wheel fun

Part of Evie's birthday gift was horseback riding a week later.  I told her she could bring one friend, and she very sweetly picked her sister because she knew how much Maggie loves horses.

Giddy up

Evie did awesome!

Girls day!

We also got her tickets to see Japanese Breakfast
so Dad took her for a fun concert night!

Easter was the same weekend as Evie and Jamie's birthday - busy times!

Made some pretty eggs

Waiting to see if the Easter Bunny came
(Maggie really just wanted to sleep)

We had the family over for Easter dinner
and to celebrate the birthdays

Relaxing

Partners for life

Cuteness overload

Cousins! (Rabines were in Florida for Easter, we missed them!)

Happy birthday to Amy, Jamie and Evie!

Donoghues unite!

Jamie's birthday was the following day, and I got front-row seats to the Tigers game.  The Pistons had a playoff game that night too, so we went to a bar afterward too see them win in overtime!

Go Tigers!

Fun stuff

Evie decided to get Jamie hair for his birthday

Happy birthday to Dad!

Mother's Day weekend was lovely as always, and my family spoiled me!  Jamie got me tickets to see one of my favorite bands, Lucius!

Proud mama

Had to get a picture of my mom
"checking her list"

Grammer always has good games

They sure love Grandma

Evie ran her 5k in Girls on the Run after training for a few months.  She did it 36 minutes this year, which blew away her time from last year!  She was way more focused and determined, only walked a few times!  The Rabines were there with their school too!

Ready to run

With her school mates

Bobby being a good sport

Congrats, Claire! (Bobby being Bobby)

perhaps the most patriotic kid of all time
