Happy 64th Birthday, Grandpa!

As usual, Grandpa came over on Friday...but this was a special Friday...his birthday!
We celebrated with sword fish and a berry pie. Grandpa got a kick out of the beer can candles.




 Look at Dave, the photo bomber!







Gift of Life 5K Walk

To honor and celebrate the gift of life to our friend Mark, who received a lung transplant this winter, Kiera and I, participated in the Gift of Life 5K Walk. We wore "Kozstrong" t-shirts and Kiera especially enjoyed the hair dye and face painting and hanging out with M! There was an after party at a pizza shop, but we had to miss it to attend a baby shower.

Photo Booth fun...


First Dinner on the Patio of the Season

We waited almost half of 2016 to have our first dinner on the patio for two reasons...
the weather was weird and we ordered a new replacement canopy for the gazebo 
and it was on back order. Dinner was oversized baked potatoe with broccoli and cheese 
and a fruit salad. The fun continued after dinner with some family jump rope time...
Guess which Kette thought of that great idea?



























Last Day of Second Grade

Kiera loved, loved, loved her class and teacher this year. So much so
that she was crying on the last day of school! The last week of school,
the weather was in the high 80s, so it was a dress down week!
Here's our girl on the LAST day of second grade...

First Beach Visit of the Season

I'm a little behind in posting...One day after school, Kiera and I took 
a quick trip to our favorite beach to hunt for beach glass. The water
was pretty far on the shore, so there wasn't a lot of beach glass to be
found, but it was a good taste of what's to come this summer!
