Great Adventures

Mommy and I found this boxwood turtle while we were walking one day and we put it back near the pond behind our house. We have seen this turtle popping up all over the place. It's been in our neighbors yard, our backyard and just about anywhere you can think of. He makes the neighbors dogs go crazy. I think he walks along their fence just to get them fired up. It's funny to see the dogs try and dig there way out to get to him. We see him come out at least once a week. This truly is the friendliest turtle Mommy and I have ever seen.

Mom Mom and Pop Pop came over and we celebrated Mom Mom's Birthday.
Dude, check out my mohawk. Cool hunh?
Oh, my sweet Aunt Jessica! I got to hang out with her and Uncle Jamaal for awhile on Memorial Day. I love my Auntie and I can't wait to meet my cousin Joshua in August. Yeah!! I Love you Aunt Jessica

JJ's Dedication




I tell you, this was probably the coolest Mother's Day ever! I have no pictures of this particular day to post but Justin and I dedicated JJ to the Lord on Mother's Day. We had several family there to support us on raising our son with Christ in our home and our lives. What a honor and a privelege it is to give back to our heavenly Father the blessing of our son and a promise to God to raise him with Godly principles. JJ is such a wonderful blessing to us and we are so happy and hope the best things for our son! JJ has shown and taught us so much already. The joy and impressions he has and will leave on our hearts is to powerful for words to even describe. What a JOY!!!! We know God has a wonderful plan for this little boy and we can't wait to see what God has in store down the road for him. It truly is a delight to see now how JJ loves for us to pray with him at bedtime and mealtime. I think it is a wonderful value we are instilling in our child and our prayer is to continue to raise him up into the man God has called him to be and to teach him how to serve the Lord everyday. And we are striving for that everyday even when we have not so good days. Our prayer is that someday our little son will become a young man on his knees.

Mother's Day Weekend!

We had a cookout Saturday for the family and it was tons of fun! We had lots of people over here. The kids enjoyed the swing set while the guys enjoyed throwing horseshoes. The guys threw football and baseball too.
Matthew is Robert and Sue's second oldest.
JJ loves Mickey Mouse sooo much and Abigail gave JJ her MickeyMouse clubhouse set. Thanks Abby you made JJ so happy!
Alec is Robert and Sue's first son.
Awe me and my sissy. Sweet times always! Little Abigail isn't so little anymore. Before I know it JJ will be that big.

Cousins from Tennessee



My cousins and I played for hours and had so much fun. Aunt Sue has her hands full with 3 boys. Luke and I are closest in age and we got along great!


That same weekend Aunt Robin came into town with my cousins Jacob and Abigail. Nana was over for the cookout and I decided to show off with some if my first steps EVER! However Nana was using my toy to make me walk. It worked!

Aunt Carol & Uncle Charlie's visit



I love my Aunt Carol! She loves playing with me and she acts really goofy it makes me laugh.

We stayed with my great Aunt Sandy. She was the hostess with the mostess! She made sure my Mommy and Daddy had everything they needed. Renee even brought us Mommy's favorite Italian pastry.....Cannoli's! Yummy!
We hung out with Chris and Jen in Naggatuck CT.
His Mom and Dad, Barbara and Tommy came over to visit with us.
And we got to see Jen and the rest of the gang another day too.

New truck


While we were in CT we stopped at Toys R US and got JJ and new truck and a ball. He just loves his new toys!
We stop and saw his great Grandma DiSalvo! JJ was so sleepy but hung on so he could show off his cute smiles to all the people in the retirement center.


We had a Sunday brunch at Adam's Mill. It was so good! JJ ate waffles and bacon and eggs and we let him try Salmon too and he just loved it!

Trip to CT

Our trip to CT was packed full of fun. We were very busy catching up with family and friends. We got to hang out with one of Daddy's best friends Reggie and my great Grandpa and great Aunt Lori and her two boys Joe and Christopher. We ate at Bogaboo's Creek. Awesome food!

Justin Jr. 2 weeks old at his first Birthday party!

When JJ was 2 weeks old, we had a birthday party at our home for Abigial. Robin got her the biggest water slide I have ever seen. In fact it was two slides side by side with a little pool at the bottom. The kids had so much fun and so did the adults. Cheryl held the hose and sprayed everyone as they went down and the guys had baby soap they covered themselves with to go even faster. All the men where having races with each other and seeing who could get the most air going down. Justin I think had more fun then the kids. They really love their Uncle Justin! I of course had to try the slide too, but I waited for all the kids to leave in case I didn't make it up the ladder. It indeed was a lot of fun, but rough on your feet climbing the ladder.

All my family got to meet and hold JJ. He was pooped after being passed around all day. So his first birthday party was a hit. We will have to get him that slide one day so he can experience all that fun too!

Road Atlanta Trip 2007

Road Atlanta race was the weekend of November 3-4. Frank and Justin went down Thursday night and had practice all day Friday. Cheryl, myself and Justin Jr. joined the guys in Atlanta Friday night. It was a short and very cold trip, but we had a lot of fun. It was good seeing Justin in his racing suit again!
