Coloring Contest Winner

Francesco won a $50 Savings Bond at our bank! He entered his drawing into the coloring contest and won for his age category in our county. His picture will be in their newsletter and in the newspaper. He was excited to win but it's hard to explain to a 6 yr old why they can't spend the money for another 2o years or so!

Lashily Park Fountains

Kathy and I took the kids to the new park and fountains in Punta Gorda. The kids had a blast! The thunder clouds shaded us a bit and it never did rain -not until 3pm atleast!

Baseball

It's time for baseball!! Our church has started a men's and co-ed baseball team! Their first practice was Thursday. Marcello, Jon, Tony, and Brooke are all going to play. Marcello had me get up to bat a few times...he found it quite comical... the baseball player, I am not! Everytime I hit the ball my foot would pop up and sometimes I would spin if I missed. He said I'd be the best player -for the other team. So I think I'll have to try out for Mimi's T-ball team -they're more my speed! Mimi's T-ball team, Nathan, Francesco, and Victoria!

Makayla

Hello...it's me, KK!

Father's Day - Lover's Key Beach

We spent Father's Day at Lover's Key Beach in Fort Myers. The kids had a great time swimming and exploring the nature trail with their Daddy! We then headed over to Jon's brother's house for a pool party and Bar-B-Q under the Tiki Hut. We all chipped in to send Poppy to New York to visit his parents.

Victoria rides Uncle Ray's dog "Shamus". The dog is huge-he's as big as a miniature horse! He has the most beautiful baby blue eyes - they turned out a little freakish in the picture though!

Mimi and Makayla

Makayla "talks" to Mimi! (She's 2 months old in these pics) I haven't been able to get my videos to upload lately. This is a realy cute video -sorry!

VBS

We have been so busy ... running here, there and everywhere! That I am FINALLY sitting down! The kids enjoyed Vacation Bible School at our church. The theme was Rome: Paul and the Under Ground Church. Mimi found this baby rooster ROMEing down Gill street by her house -so she decided it was God sent and decided to catch it and name it "Roman". We had a petting zoo at the VBS with a pig, sheep, mama and baby goat, doves, chickens, rooster, rabbit and even a horse -which gave the children pony rides. It was a fun week!!!
