Advanced Band Camp Photos

Enjoy the following pictures from the Advanced Summer Band Camp which finished Friday, June 19th. Pictures were taken during Wacky Day, Water Day, Concert Day, and other candid shots. I, Doyle Bozone, had a wonderful time working with such a great group of young people.

Julianna's school project

Julianna made her state notebook presentation today. Each of the 6th grade students were required to choose a different state to research. She decided to study Kentucky since we have family there. She did a nice job and is relieved that this project is over.

I had popcorn chicken from Kentucky Fried Chicken for the kids to eat after she finished her talk.(I thought this would be better than having a wad of tobacco for each of the students:)

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my family. Here I am with my presents which consisted of: flowers, candy, 2 shirts, home-made cards, and a decorating magazine. Doyle made dinner and cleaned up the dishes while I took a nap. He does that for me almost every Sunday-what a man!!

My kids and me.

Julianna, Lydia, and me at the Mother/Daughter Banquet.

I am so grateful for my Mom who is one of my dearest friends. I thought I was going to lose her when she had her heart attack a few days ago. I asked God to please let her live if it would be His will. I am so glad he allowed her to remain a part of my life. She was able to attend church yesterday and heard from Kerry, my brother in Afghanistan. We prayed for her to receive a call from him on Mother's Day.

Family Time!

On April 25th we were able to get together with most of the Bozones to celebrate Daryl and Amber's wedding. I have posted a complete album on my FB site, but here are a few pictures.

Here the happy couple enter the reception.

The 5 brothers..

All seven kids-it was so nice for them to be together.

Lydia and Joseph-taking their job seriously.

Our family-I am so blessed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA!!

Lydia celebrated her 8th birthday this week. This was her year for a family party. She had the privilege of sharing her special day with family that we rarely see that were in from CA for a wedding. We had such a nice time and we will be sharing lots more pictures later. Lydia poses with her flip-flop cake.

Matthew and Sophia with our 4 kids.

Lydia wanted a flip-flop cake. Thanks to internet instructions, we were able to make one together.

Make a wish!

Admiring her home-made cards.

Of course, we had to have some shoes for the party.

Julianna made Lydia a stuffed-animal purse.

She also received a camera. Her CA family gave her a cute watch. The next 2 pictures were taken today on her actual birthday after a piano recital.

More shoes--a lady can not have too many!

Lydia is a special gal. I know she had a wonderful birthday with her extended family.

HAPPY EASTER!!

Spring in Florida

We enjoy beautiful weather all winter long while the northern people are freezing, so sometimes spring is hard to notice in Florida. After you have lived here awhile, there are some things that change besides the weather getting very warm. One way I noticed is that my bougenvilla is in full bloom. It is absolutely gorgeous. When the sun shines in the window, it casts a pink glow on my kitchen cabinets.

This is my view from the kitchen sink. The rose is one that we brought in from one of our bushes in the yard-the one we planted in memory of Miriam. Did I mention that I love flowers?
