I'm in the wrong business! 

No one on Christian radio has enough extra money to have toys like this $50,000 custom sports/race dragster which one of our swim team parents has... 

He has more money than sense if you ask me!
Our first house cost 50k and not that long ago!!

Mac looks like Jesus with his new look...(long hair and beard)

Great day!  Started with girls trip to the beach...  

Then a big win in the tournament to take the state title!

Vanilla bean frap to start the day.  

Then a trip to the beach before the afternoon showdown 

in game one of the softball tourney!  

Big win for our girls today!  

The called it early with us leading 17-2. 

But both sides were all having so much fun we just turned off 

the scoreboard and finished the other three innings.  

Great day!  

Then we headed back to the pool for a post-game
celebration/gathering with all the girls and their families!

What a day! The Altamonte all-stars made us so proud, 

winning almost every single skill challenge event!   

Naomi won 1st overall in the individual running competition 

AND as the anchor on the Team Relay!   

She was so excited when she got 2 big trophies!  

The games for the state title start Tomorrow!!!!!

We're off! Great father - daughter weekend!  Headed to Ponte Vedra Beach so Naomi and the Altamonte Springs 6-Under All-Stars can play in the state softball tournament.  Go Patriots!!


Halfway there, she chose Subway for dinner.  She says she thinks it is good because it is so fresh.  (great marketing even works on kids...)

We are finally at the hotel... nicest I have stayed in for a long time!  :)

Eli is quite a character.   

I have no idea where he gets his dynamic personality ;)  

but I think he may have a future as an actor.  

Naomi on the other hand is taking after her artistic mother.

I have 2 kids.  

One knows all the princesses and LOVES Beauty & The Beast.  

The other likes cowboys, indians, guns and horses.  

Guess which one is which?

She got the gun at the dollar store.  

And the cowboys and indians at the thrift store.  

Hours of fun for $2.

Chinese food with the kids.  

Eli discovers he likes pork fried rice  

and Naomi discovers Dr. Pepper!

I was looking for something to do today as bonding activity between me and Eli. I saw this sign, but Eli said that he wasn't interested. I believe he thought dancer meant "ballet". He had not clue what he was turning down.

Love having kids who love to read.  

Eli (7 and a half) is reading this for summer fun.

Central Florida summer:  Glass + Car AC x Outside heat/humidity = Fog!  

I can't see a thing!
