A Day with Pirates!

We have a lot of fun things to do in Jacksonville. And since the city is cut in half by the St. Johns River, we have a lot of fun water things to do. One of them is Sail Jacksonville. Old fashion pirate ships sail in to the Jacksonville Landing and pirates walk around. You can go onto the ships and walk around. Dalton had a blast!!! ARRGGHH - Matey! We heard that for days ALL day long. Now we just hear it when he is playing pirates. Enjoy the pics.

Mother's Day Weekend in Taylors

We had a fun weekend at MiMi's house for Mother's Day. Kevin and the kids went up the week before to spend some time with MiMi. I went up Thursday night with my two sisters. Mom had her "Honey Do" list for Kev. They went up there also to see MiMi graduate with her Masters from NGU. It lasted great until Dalton saw MiMi come in and wanted her to sit with him and proceeded to have a HUGE melt down when she couldn't. So Kevin, Dalton and Payton spent the graduation in the car. Poor MiMi had no family see her walk the stage. However, our GREAT friend Brittany was there and she got good pics of her. The rest of the weekend was spent chillin' out with momma. And going to our favorite pizza place downtown. We had a great weekend! It was great being up there with momma. And Dalton and Payton and Avery had a blast with MiMi. Too bad Lil Joshua couldn't come up, he had school.

Family Fun Night

We had a blast! We went to the Jacksonville Sun's baseball game. It is Jacksonville's Double A baseball team. This is the first time that Dalton and Payton went to a baseball game. (Well, I take that back. Dalton went to a Braves game when he was about 15 months old, but he doesn't remember it.) We were on the third baseline first row. Dalton had a friend come with us, Mallory. His first little play date without the other parents. I went to high school with Mallory's mommy and aunt. And then we met again when she hired me at my current job. I know! It's a TOTAL GOD thing. We took Mallory to let Kelli (mommy) get everything in line for Joe (daddy) to come home. He is in the Navy and his boat pulled in to port today at Mayport Naval Station. YEAH!!! Anyways, the kids were great. And had a blast! Just a side note - we were winning 9 to 3 at the top of the 7th when we left. Enjoy the pictures!

I know! I know!!

I know it has been a LONG time since I posted anything on our blog. But remember what I said, "I'm not promising anything". I thought I would start this up again so my momma and all of our friends in SC could keep up with us. Also, my sister-in-law is in the Navy and she needs to be able to watch her babies grow up.

So here is the lastest on the Tuzzolo Four ...

We are doing great! God is soooo good! I will break it down by person.

Kevin - He is still in the electrical field but is currently unemployed. He was laid off February 27. He is currently looking but there is NOTHING out there. He is thinking about going back to school to get his X-Ray Tech degree. He figures that he can always rely on the medical field. So in the meantime, he is a stay-at-home daddy. He knows that he needs to cherish this time with Dalton and Payton and he is but some days are harder than others. He would much rather be at work and me be home with the children. I do have to say that he is doing an excellant job!!!

Dalton - He is 3 1/2 years old now. He is getting soooo big. He is 40" tall and about 40 pounds. He is very funny! He is full of life and energy. He thrives off of structure and routine. Therefore does great at pre-school. Needless to say staying home with daddy is a little crazy for him. But both Dalton and Daddy are adjusting.

Payton - She is 17 1/2 months old. She is getting big too. She is still tiny for her age but BIG for Payton. She is 31" and 22 pounds. She is blond curls and big blue eyes. Yes, daddy AND mommy are in trouble! She is starting to talk alot more. She is very active and tries to keep up with her hero - her boo-boos AKA Dalton.

And lastly, me - I'm working at a great company, MDI-GHS. I'm currently the Billing Administrator. It is a fancy title for a normal job. We handle the processing of federal inmates claims. No, I don't come in contact with any of them, I just know their names and what institution they are at. However, I'm trying to get on with a different division within MDI. It is for a position in the Collection Team as the Collection Manager. This is what I love to do - collect money from medical providers. I'm also still in school. I'm still at Greenville Tech, taking online classes. I hopefully will be done next May with my AA. I will then move on to Jacksonville University or North Florida University to get my BA. And then on to FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY to get my MBA.

As you can see, things are good. I would ask anyone that reads this, please pray that God would provide a job for Kevin and the new position for me. However, please let me say that we are doing great! We are actually able to save money with the children not in pre-school.

Talk to y'all soon!!!
