A Great Idea

On Tuesday, I got a call from my neighbor, Tracey, that her daughters, Megan and Lindsey, along with our other neighbor Drew wanted to do a lemonade/treat stand and give half the money to Team KenTZ. It seriously made me cry! Anyway, Victor printed them a sign, and today, since it was school registration and we live right across the street from the school, they went to work! They had all kinds of treats and drinks, and Kelsey also helped, as did Megan and Lindsey's older sister, Laura. They also had a jar where people could donate directly to our cause, if they wanted. Then afterwards, they walked around the neighborhood to get more donations for Kent. I was so touched by their enthusiasm....and they raised about $125! AMAZING!!! Here are some pics of the day, thanks to Tracey. What a lesson to be learned!

A BIG THANK YOU to all!!

July 4th

Happy 4th of July! Yes, I know I’m a little late, but it’s the best I can do!

We had a good weekend. Our friends from Vegas came to stay with us, and it was great to have them here! We started off Friday morning EARLY with the Freedom Run. Victor ran the 10K with our friend, Pedro, and Kelsey ran the 5K with Sandra (our friend from Vegas), so we were up very early that morning! It was fun to see them finish the race, and then we drove over to the parade route and found a place (along with the THOUSANDS of other people!) to watch the parade. Kent read a book the whole time (tells you how excited he was to be there), except he really liked the Star Wars “walking float”.

Later that night our friends went to the Stadium of Fire, and we went to a BBQ/swim party at our friends house (thanks, Justin and Nat!) where we had a yummy BBQ, the kids and dads had fun swimming, and then we had our own fireworks show! It was a lot of fun.

Saturday we went down to Yuba Lake to meet up with some friends who were down camping/boating. We spent a few hours there, came back home to shower (it’s very windy down there, and so much dirt blowing around!) and then went to Tucano’s for a birthday dinner. We were technically celebrating 3 birthdays: my friend, Sandra, Kelsey and Amber, although we were a couple weeks late for Kel and Amber. Better late than never!

Sunday, we just went to church, made homemade pizza, and then had Sandra’s birthday cake before they headed home! It was fun to have them here, and we hope they come again soon!

One last item of note. Kel left for girls camp on Tuesday, and will be gone until Saturday. I wasn’t home when she left, but I had told Victor he needed to take a picture of her when she left (tradition). He took 3, so here they are!

I’m sure we’ll have more to report next week once she’s back!
