Barbecue and pool party for Nicoles birthday

Nicole is turning 12 on Wednesday. She got a part in the Jungle book so her first practice is that day so we will wait for the weekend to have her party. She is a beautiful, sweet and talented little girl that I am very proud of and love very much!!

I've been sorta sad lately. My dear friend Marlie and her family moved to Virginia last week. She was the one person I hung out a lot with the kids. Her boys are very sweet and we will miss them dearly. It's not like they moved very close and I hate to fly so we will be lucky if we get out to visit sometime. I was thinking in a couple years we can get out to Washington DC and make a stop in Virginia.

Also are a couple pics of the kids for their first day of school. They are very happy and excited this year. They seemed to have gotten good teachers too.

My friend Julie made this photo show with Nicole, Nicky, and Sophia. They hang out almost everyday. Thanks Julie!!

The girls having fun

We just got back from Mexico. We had such a relaxing time. It was so good to unwind. We slept a lot and ate too much!! Included are some pics of the kids on our sunset cruise. It was very beautiful out on the sea. We went down there with Wendy and her family and some of her extended family. I forgot to get pics of her boys. Included are pics of the kids on our cruise. In one pic Zachary is actually steering the boat. The Capt is standing behind him making sure we dont crash or anything.
