Such a nice Mother's Day!!!

After a really nice Mother's Day mass and a stop at 7-11 for coffee and doughnuts, we went to Fort De Soto.  It was fabulous.  The beach was so pretty and the water was very warm and beautiful.  The kids found tons of cool shells.  It was so relaxing.Then we went to the Fort and explored all the neat views, rooms and canons.Finally, the kids found a great tree to climb.  Everyone had a great time.  I highly recommend Fort De Soto!!! It was a great Mother's Day!!

Part of our Spring Break was spent in historic St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. We really enjoyed it.


I'm pretty sure this was the funniest thing we saw on our Spring Break. An emu running alongside our car.

The kids on a cannon at the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine.


Jimmy and Casey on the beach in St. Augustine. I love this picture.

The Force is with us!

Connor and Cooper got new Light Sabers for their birthdays from Uncle John and Aunt Kelly. They have been put to good use. Boys and light sabers go together like Han Solo and Chewbacca. Big fun!!!

Fun Weekend

We started our weekend by going to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Then on Saturday Casey celebrated her 11th birthday (finally). It's so hard to plan a birthday party when your birthday is Dec. 28 because no one is around. So she decided to invite three girls for a night at the Westin at Harbour Island. We swam in the pool, ordered room service and had a blast spending the night at a hotel. On Sunday, Cooper had his 5th Birthday party at the pool. It was about 95 degrees and sunny so a great day for a pool party. He had a ball. I can't believe my baby is 5.
Enjoy the pics.

Piano Recital

Casey, Jimmy, and Connor had a piano recital on Saturday night. It was Connor's first one and he was really nervous but we were so proud of him. Jimmy was awesome. He played without any mistakes. He has a talent for sure. Casey looked beautiful and played perfectly. Beau and I were so proud. The three screens look black but press the play arrow to hear them play. Enjoy!

Marine Corps Birthday Ball

We had a great night. The 234th Marine Corps Birthday Ball. We went with our dear friends, Mick and Sue Wagoner and Matt and Kristen Razvillas. It was a great night.

After School Fun

Here are some pictures of the kids doing things they love after school. Casey has a part time job dogsitting after school. It's the perfect job for our little animal lover. Jimmy loves playing with his buddies doing things like skateboarding or chasing lizards (or in this case watching a lizard get devoured by ants). Cooper and Connor can usually be found in the tree fort across the street. So much fun in Florida.
