Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July everyone. We have many friends and family who are serving our country and it certainly gives the Holiday more meaning. Our family spent the weekend in Southern Portugal. It is only about a two and a half drive from here. On Friday we went to Aqualand and the kids had a blast. The beaches there are so beautiful and the weather was just a bit cooler than here.

10th Anniversary

Brandon and I (Kathy) recently celebrated our 10th anniversary. We celebrated by spending a night in Marbella. Marbella has a TGI Fridays so that is where we had our "romantic" dinner. MMM, American food!!!! We have some great friends here who took the kids for us. As you can see, I am getting very pregnant.

Summer of Baseball

June was the month of Baseball at our house. Both Joe and Sam were participated on MWR teams. Joe was on the White Socks and Samantha was on the Cincinnati Reds. Samantha was having trouble batting until her coach asked her if she had been golfing with her dad. When she responded"yes", he looked at the way she was holding her hands. She was trying to swing her bat like a golf club. He soon corrected her hand position and she did great after that.

Sam and Joe and Costa Ballena

Costa Ballena is a beach resort town a couple of miles north of Rota. We love to take the kids up there to ride their bikes/scooters along the great paths along the ocean. Here they are a couple of weeks ago having a great time.
