Finished up a little project in the patio room this weekend…
More and more kids “using” the screen doors in the patio room… with the previous handle being so small, it was hard for them not to push the screen through. Hopefully these new, BIG, colorful handles will be well used.
Took Poppy to Outback for some steak and potato action, followed by and ice cream cake!
Need to catch up a couple photos before putting our latest trip on here…
Sam in the baseball outfit Poppy bought him, and shoes!
The perennial strawberry festival hit downtown… and since Carson had been mentioning since we went last year, I thought we had to go this year.
Our friend Nick had his seventh birthday and invited us all over for his party this past Saturday. It was a great time… my photo album is pictures taken by myself, April, or Sean/Jen. They were kind enough to share there’s with me.
It was a great time… we got to see a lot of family. The boy’s got to be in the ocean (ok, the Gulf of Mexico) for the first time… Sam got in a pool for the first time. Carson met Carson (Great Grampa) and Carson (Cousin). I have a ton of photos (200+) and another video to add to the swimming videos in the previous blog post.
I’ll throw a couple of my faves out after the link to the full album…

Three Carsons… it was confusing and wonderful.
The brothers in the ocean at sunset.
Grampa and his baby girls.
Everyone at the family reunion day.
Three Carsons and a Sam.
Video: This is Carson and Carson having a serious discussion about “Snipes”.
I hope everyone had as great of a Memorial Day as we did.
Well, we got off from Indy fine and got to Tampa about 10 minutes early (that was for the Steward that said we needed to tell everyone about our early arrival)… made the drive to New Port Richey and got checked into the hotel. Jenni took the boys to the pool, which was Sam’s first time. Carson being the old pro hopped right in and was swimming all over, Sam took to the water much like his brother did when he was young.
I snapped some photos and a couple videos… here’s two of the pics, will hopefully get the vids up tomorrow.
Here are some videos of Sam… doing his army crawl and general noise making.
We spent Friday at the track with Jenni’s work… was a nice day and there was a lot to see.
We went on a big hike through Turkey Run State Park with the Petrusca family. Carson and Andrei are classmates at their school. We had a wonderful time, that we’ll feel for a few days… heh. I’m not going to put the slideshow because there are 150+ pictures, so I’ll link the album first and then pick a few of my favorite shots. Click the album to see the whole set.

Mom bought a new crib for Sam this past weekend, it is really nice and Sam loves it (as does Carson). I got some pics of the boys enjoying it.
