The Nickelodeon Hotel!

For 3 years now, Hunter has asked if we could go on vacation to the nickelodeon hotel in Orlando. We decided to go this past week for a few nights. The kids had a blast...the parents....well, let's just say we are pooped!!! Marty describes it as "Las Vegas for kids". :) Here are some pictures of our time there!

Hunter and Grace have a garage sale!

The other day Hunter came up to me and asked if he could have a garage sale. I said he could, but would have to plan for it (make signs, lay out the stuff he wanted to sell, etc). He got together a few things, and had the garage sale (along with his sister) on Saturday from 8:30-10:30. He only had 3 customers total (kids from the neighborhood), but he seemed quite content with the money he made. It was cute. :) Good job, kids!!!!

The Germany Fitzpatricks

Marty's oldest brother, Mike and his family (Sue, Aaron, Andrew and Brooke) came to visit us for about a week. The kids loved playing with their cousins! There were many fun outings...St. George Island, Fun Station, Marble Slab Creamery, the movies, etc... We always appreciate Mike and Sue's wisdom and advice for us every time we are with them. They always encourage us to stay strong in the Lord, and to seek Him first in all things. Thanks, guys!

Our trip to Umatilla

Grace and I drove down to visit my sister and her family in Umatilla this past weekend. Here are some random pictures taken while there and on the way back.

My brother-in-law, Randy

When we heard my brother-in-law, Randy, was going to be giving his testimony at church on Sunday, Grace and I decided to drive on down for the weekend. All I can say is.....WOW! For those of you who have known Randy for awhile, you would appreciate the change that has taken place in his life. He became a Christian about a year ago, but has really grown spiritually lately, and now has this joy and peace about him that was not there before. It was so exciting to hear him tell his "story". It encouraged me to continue on, and not grow weary. Thanks, Randy for your boldness and willingness to share your testimony! I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for you and Angela! Thanks to Marty's brother, Matt...you can now watch Randy give his testimony online! Just click on this link: http://youtube.com/fitzdogtv

The 4th of July party

This was our 3rd annual Fitzpatrick/Parizek 4th of July party at our house. Even though it was a VERY hot day, it was so much fun hanging out with our friends and family, and watching the fireworks (thanks, Bill and Lonnie for all the hard work you put into that....you did an awesome job....as usual)!

Our friends, The Summerville's

Our friends, from Ohio (whom we have known for over 10 years now) came for a visit this week. We had a blast with them, and were so sad to see them leave. Thanks for your friendship, DJ, Diane, Kayla and Camden! :)
