L~O~N~G Time

It has been forever since I blogged, with the discovery of Facebook I figured this was harder. But then I ran across my blog just now and treasure the pictures and times I saved here. I am going to up date a couple of pics as the kids have grown up so much over the last year. Then I'll try to get on here atleast once a month ...I hope! Francesco is celebrating his 8th Birthday this Sat with a beach party! Makenzie wants to go check out some kittens at a pet store tomorrow (we will not be bringing any home). I may get her a new fish though. And Makayla has a new potty and we are starting potty training...slowly, I'm in no rush for her to grow up!

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!
