Centerfield

We were invited to our friend's championship game. The kids got out their markers and made signs to cheer their friend on.... Go AJ! Go Raptors!
AJ's team Raptors came in second place!
Great job guys! Love your biggest fans: Vinny, Sal, Kelli and Nicholas

To My Greatest Fans...

Kelli's class teamed up with the 4th graders for "young readers". Each team wrote and illustrated a book. Kelli's book was a scary story about a man who is eaten up by a monster!

Kelli will be signing autographs at our home this weekend.....

Tuesday Treasure Jukebox Hero.....

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low. Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show. Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene. Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream. He heard one guitar, just blew him away. He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day. Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store. Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure. That one guitar, felt good in his hands. Didn't take long, to understand. Just one guitar, slung way down low. Was one way ticket, only one way to go. So he started rockin. Ain't never gonna stop. Gotta keep on rockin. Someday hes gonna make it to the top. And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes. Hes a juke box hero. He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes. Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight......
For Eli's 4th birthday Nick was invited over to play Guitar Hero! What a band these three make!

For Us?

From This:

To This: On our two year anniversary since moving back to Florida we gave our house some 'curb appeal'.

Monday Madness

Our good friends and now neighbors invited us over to help celebrate their boys birthdays. (Eli is 4 and Omar is 2) Since it was a hot day the kids played in the water, Vinny took aim on the kids in the pool but our friend Nicholas shot back with the hose. Sal, Kelli and little Nicholas along with Eli and Ryan where caught in the middle of this water war!

Fun was had by all outside and inside! Happy Birthday boys!

Please Mr Postman

Mister postman look and see, You got a letter in your bag for me....

I have always wanted a designer mailbox and for our anniversary Ed and the kids surprised me with a southwestern coyote!
