Mickey Retires!

Congratulations on your retirement Mickey!

Mickey shares a moment at his party with his four grandchildren. From left to right, Elle, Alissa, Vinny, and Talia.

Check out the Tee-Shirt! "Jesus says Italians are the best". Ha.....

A Father and his sons.

Scott and Alissa share a dance!

Vinny and Ellie party like Rock Stars. This is very late into the night for them. This is around the 10pm time frame. At the end of each song, Ellie would say " one more time"!

Vinny's new best friend " Big Man". Everything was " hey, Big Man, what are you doing?"...his real name is Kyle. Vinny said " I love Kyle"......

Kyle sneaking a break from Vinny and holding Talia. Kyle is 16 and not that into babies, but he liked her.

Vinny in the process of shutting down. He danced until he couldn't dance anymore. We took him home when he fell asleep on the dance floor.

07-07-07 Brian's 40th Birthday Party

Although it was 100 degree's that day, a good time was had by all. Here is Brian at the garage bar serving drinks to his guests. That is Mickey and John Maskel.

Talia dressed in patriotic colors for her dad's birthday but decided to stay indoors where it was much more comfortable!

Vinny was very excited to be celebrating his dad's birthday with so many people.

Attention NHL Scouts: Vinny begins skating class

Vinny clings to his Daddy before class begins. He is not sure he wants to partake in this new sporting activity.

Vinny concentrating on the coaches instructions.

Calling all Scouts. I think he shows great potential.

Vinny was excited about completing his first skating class.

Fathers Day

Ok...this is the best we could do. Oops, cut off the top of Brian's head.

Come on, everyone smile....... take it quick!

Vinny posing with his sister and looking a bit scary with that hair-do!

Saturday, June 16th, 2007 was Talia's big day. She was baptized! We had a small party at the house before the service at 5:30. Hey, big SHOUT OUT to JoAnne for providing the food! That was awesome. Everyone loved the chicken. However, the biggest lesson learned that day was to NEVER leave your cake unguarded. Ellie learned the hard way when she left her piece of cake at the table to wipe off her hands. When she returned to eat her cake, Vinny, had already polished it off. We gave Ellie another piece of cake and she left the table a second time to wipe her hands again, and this time Alissa finished Ellie's cake. Thank goodness Auntie Carolyn keeps a lot of cake in the house!
