Happy 4th of July

Yesterday I spent most of the day on-call and working but finished in time to celebrate the 4th, Windemere style. Joe and his dad went to the Yankees vs Rays game in Tampa. Janis, me and Bells went out to Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Al's for a block party and Disney fireworks. They can see the Disney fireworks every night from their front yard. We grilled out and the kids ran all around. It was a great day!

Party Vision

So if you haven't heard or seen it yet, I started my own party planning business.  It's called, "Party Vision". My motto is, "Making Your Party's Vision Come To Life". I can create custom announcements, invitations, stationary, labels + more. If you can envision it, I can create it. I have always thrown the idea around of starting something and everyone has always told me I should and I finally have. I am super excited to be doing something I really enjoy! You can check my blog out at here or my Facebook page. If you want to place an order or ask questions email me at partyvisionandsupplies@gmail.com

Summertime

It's officially summer and 2 weekends ago we brought the pool out. Bella had so much fun and got to play in her pool 3 days in a row. She has tan lines now, that's how much she was in there

 This year she had her slide from Nana and Papa so we thought of putting it in the pool.

 It was an awesome idea!

                                          

1st Marlins Game

Growing up in South Florida I can remember going to Marlin's games with my family, friends and even as school field trips. This past Monday we got to take Bella to her first Marlin's game and the rest of us got to go to the new stadium for the first time. It was a lot of fun and I know for you DiTore's out there the Marlins are no Yankees :) But a girl can have 2 teams can't she?

Happy Birthday Joe

Joe's birthday was last weekend and we celebrated in the Keys. We went down on Friday with Tiffany and Frankie and we stayed with my Uncle Bruce and Aunt Tracy. They were great hosts and we had a lot of fun.

We stopped for lunch on Friday in Islamorada at Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill where we ate on the water
