Happy Halloween!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Matt and his fam! Thanks for the info Stacey. I thought I'd share the kid's Halloween pictures, we had a great time! Keira was a zookeeper, Jack a mummy and Joey a dalmation. It is amazing how fun Halloween is when you have kids!

Wedding and Matt

To the Henrys! Thanks for the wonderful time at the wedding.

Matt is in Iraq at the Ali Airforce Base. His address is:

AMN Matthew Cincotta

FOB Warrior
557 ERHS
APOAE 09359

I am sure he would love to get Christmas cards from everyone, so when you are addressing your cards/pictures, please don't forget about him. You can also send care packages. The post office has flat rate boxes so you pay the flat rate vs paying by the weight of your package. Hope everyone is well.

School started this week. Jack started kindergarten. He had a tough time saying goodbye, but once the principle peeled him away from me crying (mostly Jack and then me), she got him to his room and within minutes he was smiling. What a rough morning. Today he did great. Thought I would attach a couple pictures.

Also, went to Vegas to visit Matt and Ali last month. For those of you who don't know, he leaves Vegas today to go to Fort McCoy to get trained for deployment. He leaves the end of the month for Iraq for 6 months. Please keep him in your prayers. We will get his address to everyone so you can send him cards and care packages. I remember how much Scott enjoyed hearing from people at home while he was gone. Hope everyone is well!

Tubing party

Just wanted to thank Uncle John and Auntie Kathy for hosting a super fun day at their cabin on the river!! What a beautiful place, I loved it and hope to be back again. Whoever hasn't experienced the serene river and the laughs as you float down must join everyone next year. Thanks again Uncle John and Auntie Kathy!!

Here is a picture from the pool party of all the cousins. Great time!!!

Luke's First T-Ball Game

Luke had his very first T-Ball game two weeks ago. He loves it! This is a picture of him on first base after his hit to center field! Check out the skinny white legs and the ears sticking straight out because his hat's down too far!

Jarrod and Ashley at Daddy Daughter Dance

We attended a Daddy Daughter dance with a bunch of other dads and kids a month ago. Linda was busy working so I went and had Ashleys hair done at a hair salon place. Ashley really wanted Carrie Underwood hair, so here it is. We had alot of fun - too many Hannah Montana songs though. Dad needed some beers when that night was through. Hope everyone is doing well.

Pool Party on Friday 6/20

Kristin is in town and my mom is hosting a pool party at 10:30. Everyone is welcome!!! If you need directions, let me or my mom know. Hope to see lots of you there!!!

Lucy's Donation to "Locks of Love"

Melissa, great idea! I've never "blogged" before, so I hope this is working. Lucy just turned 7 on May 30, so on May 31, she got 11 inches of hair cut off and donated it to "Locks of Love". She loves her new haircut! Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer. I'll add more later.

Tony left last Friday for Alaska!! He is going to work on a Salmon fishing boat on a river. He will be the only other person, besides the captain, on the boat. We all are excited, sad and a little worried :) He is thrilled and may get homesick :) His cell phone is 612-799-6723 in case anyone would like to give him a ring.
