Home Improvement, More Soccer, Sister's Wedding, and other Fun Stuff!

Hello and Happy May everyone! Boy have we been busy?! Soccer is still in full swing. There is constantly a soccer practice or game going on, six days a week. Work is busy for Ben and I. Ben left today for Jacksonville for a class. I have been so busy at work and today we saw 36 patients. A full busy day for us normally consists of about 31 patients. We are so ready for a vacation; my doc and I both! I am taking a vacation the first week of July and we will stay at our beach house that we rented at Pensacola Beach. We will be there for the 4th of July and we will get to see the Blue Angels fly! We are so lucky to be from the same hometown as them and get to see them fly over our beautiful beach. Well, we hope you and your families are doing well and enjoy your visit today! ♥Christy

I took this photo of the Blues during their summer beach flight of 2008

Home Improvement Projects - the most recent anyways......

We just got finished replacing some of the old boards on our deck, and now we want to stain it so it all matches.

Some stain......this will take awhile!

 

We finally decided to do our side flower bed here where you see the azaleas.

Got all the pretty flowers planted! Now, we need to work on the garden in the back yard.

Play time!

We spent an April day in Hershey Park in PA. They had a special Military appreciation day and we got a great rate on tickets and free parking. We had never been to the park before and it was awesome!

We saw this ancient peice of technology, a pay phone, and we just had to take a picture with it! Have you seen one lately?

We love Reese's!

Soccer...Soccer....More Soccer.......

I just wanted to share some pictures of Brittney playing soccer. She is the only girl on the team and keeps right up with those boys. This past Wednesday during practice, she got kicked in the ankle and may have broken it. We are waiting for approval for her to go and see an orthopedist. She has been on crutches since the injury and we will keep you posted about that.

Do you have your shin guards on? The right cleats? The the ref check you!

Here are a few new ones of Christian/Will.......... This one was taken by Mr. Vinnie

Easter Sunday, Neighborhood Reunion, JROTC Military Ball, Christian's Soccer

We spent Easter Sunday in Washington D.C. We had a picnic with some friends right by the Reflecting Pool. It was a gorgeous day!

After our picnic, we walked down under the Cherry Blossoms along the Potomac River. Most trees were still in bloom, but they were beginning to loose the flowers and won't be pretty for much longer. It was the perfect day to go into the District.

We then walked over to the Jefferson Memorial, which we had never visited before. It was really neat.

This was the view looking through the Cherry Blossoms.

This is why they call it the reflecting pool!

Ben's Granparents lived on Franklin Street in Hopewell, VA. Yesterday, all of the families that lived there forever, got together for a very nice picnic/reunion in Colonial Heights, VA.

Ben and his parents at the reunion.

Ben's cousin's daughter - Kendra 7 months old!

Christian had his Military Ball last weekend and he asked us to chaparone. The kids really did a great job putting it all together and had a great time. We had a nice chicken dinner and then they danced the night away!

Bruce, Austyn, Ben, and Christian. Bruce and Austyn are Christian's friends that live in our neighborhood.
