Summer is around the corner

Addison, Jaxson, Jayden enjoy the large tub in their room.
My baby sister, Judy.
Baby Valentino, with Bridgett.

We just got back from Las Vegas! Matt, Bridgett, and boyz spent 4 days with us at the Grandview Resort (our time share) Great fun was had by all, big winner was Bridgett as she played Wheel of Fortune at the last casino on the way out of town going home. She won over $700. Tom held his own betting on the "ponies" and I enjoyed the free wine! (Free? NOT) We all went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Jaxson fell asleep in Addison's stroller, and Addison did break dancing in the lobby! Jayden couldn't resist the gift shop, but was ultra conservative. We are really glad they could brighten our vacation for a few days.


I even got to coincide our trip with a visit with my sister, Judy, as her and husband Joe were also in Vegas at the same time to see their first grandson, Valentino, age 3wks.
The boyz are ready for school to be out and swimming lessons for all 3 begin in 2wks. Jayden will be going to a Science Camp for a week. We plan to see some movies together and spend time at the beach.
Our Amber Carter Memorial Scholarships were awarded to 5 Senior Dance Company members. We raised $4500 this year and plan to give even more in 2009. Any donations will gladly be accepted.
We have finally moved into our new bedroom. It is very roomy and decorated in teal and cream colors. We are still working on the master bathroom, but have moved into our large walk in closet, which I LOVE! We also had our front yard landscaped and it is so beautiful. Our cottage by the sea is at last becoming a reality.
Our days are full, it is a labor of love. So grateful Tommy can wear so many hats; carpenter, electrician, painter, plumber. And---he even does dishes!
