Aunt Carol & Vinnie's house

On Sunday August 23rd we joined the extened Kane family at Aunt Carol and Vinnie's house in NJ. Here are some shots of the kids crabbing and the boat rides Vinnie was so happy to give!

It was great to see everyone again, and the girls both can't wait to go back sometime to help drive the boat!!

Fun with the new scanner...

I was having some fun with the scanner feature of our new all in one printer and here are some of the results.

This is me from roughly 1975.

This is from a wedding in August of 1995 (I was a bridesmaid). That's the garter belt on John's ear~

A shot of my girls, Scott's kids (at the time he had 4), Sarah's kids, Jenna (JoAnne's daughter) and Bethany (Jay's daughter) taken at Sarah's house.


And the money shot: Scott doing gymnastics~!

Brenda's Wedding-August 15, 2009

August 15th was the wedding of one of my very best friends, Brenda. She was reunited with her high-school and college sweetheart, Chip, back in February and they fell in love all over again. I have not cried so many happy tears in so long!! Here are some shots from her wedding.

Here is her cake, which was a strawberry shortcake. The topper says "We've found our missing piece" and is shaped like a puzzle piece...that was their theme.

Brenda's kids, Kaitlyn and Josiah, were junior bridesmaid and groomsman.

Here is Joceline, goofing off at the reception.

Parasailing 2009

I took Joceline & Alyssa parasailing this year. Joceline did it last year with Grandma Kane and loved it. We had a blast!

Here's a video clip of us parasailing. It shows us being "dipped" in the ocean!

Wildwood Crest, 2009

Here are some shots with Linda's kids at the beach and mini-golfing. The cousins always have such fun together!

Here is what Tyler did at the beach...push his trucks through the sand! He did manage to get his feet wet, but only for a few seconds!

The boys got to spend a little time on their DS's with the girls...here's Zach and if I remember correctly, he was playing Cars!

Alyssa and Zach at Jurassic Golf.

Zach watching to see how close he got.

Wildwood Crest, 2009

We had another wonderful vacation in Wildwood Crest, NJ. Praise the Lord we had nice weather most of the time so we got in a lot of beach time.

Here is my first beach babe, Joceline, doing what she loves...boogie boarding!

John showing everyone where the power is!

And here he is attempting to boogie board :)

And my second beach babe, Alyssa!!
