Last Week of School

5th grade graduation

THE KIWIS

Yulia's volleyball team finished out it's season. All of the girls got really good.





Paul signed up to be assistant coach, but was promoted to head coach when no one else stepped up. He had a good time and all of the girls plan on being together again in the fall with him as coach!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Beautiful flowers from Colyns. Yes, that's Colyns.
Saturday, we visited the Art's Festival. Beautiful weather. Eye see you!



From Jon and Yulia.

EASTER 2009

Colyn and her boyfriend flew in for Easter. We ate our Easter dinner at Kitty's dining room table. This is the first time we've used the table since bringing it up Missouri after Christmas.


Paul got 4 great tickets to the Cardinals game Saturday. We were there when Pujols hit his grand slam. Very exciting!!

Of course, all visitors want to go to the brewery. Here's the BudLight headed to Paul Barry's house.

THE FIGHTING KIWIS!

Paul Barry signed up to be an assistant coach on Yulia's volleyball team and somehow turned up being the head coach.


The fighting Kiwi's squeezed out 2/3 games over their opponents, the Grapefruit!



Happy Birthday flowers from my Sis. There are also six balloons attached at the top.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

We took a quick spring break trip to Southern Illinois. We stayed at a cabin in Cobden, Illinois. About 3 hours from Wentzville. Yulia got to ride a horse for the first time and loved it!


On the front porch of our cabin.


We were pleased to learn that our cabin was in the middle of the Shawnee Wine Trail. Yee-haw! We visited about 6 different wineries.


These pictures were taken at Natural Bridge. Very cool, although Kozmo was a bit winded after the hike.

CRUISIN'

We cruised the Caribbean with Paul's cousins, his sister and her husband. Had a great time!


The girls. Paul's cousins on both ends. Paul's sister, Lynne, beside me.
