June update

BIG #7!!!


This month we celebrated Blake's 7th birthday! It's hard to believe but it's true... This year he wanted a "dog party" where every guest could bring thier dog. It was interesting! We had 15-20 kids and 6 dogs who got along just fine most of the time.

One game that involved whipped cream turned into an all-out whipped cream food fight! Everone had a great time.



BIG RACE!!!


A few months ago Molly decided she wanted to try competitive road racing so we signed up for a local 5K. Not only did she finish (in style I might add) but she won her age group! We must be the first father-daughter team in the history of Pikeville racing (???) to each win their age group. We are pictured here with my good buddy Mike Cecil.






BIG TRIP!!!
We ended the month with an anniversary (17th) trip to Culebra, Puerto Rico. Culebra has been home to Taino and Caribe indians, host to Columbus, and a hideout for pirates. But for us it was simply paradise! Can you imagine having either of these beaches to yourself?! We had both!














Every place and every time of day were beautiful!









One of the highlights of the trip was scuba diving, which neither of us had ever done before. It was incredible and I was bummed when I ran out of air and had to quit. What a unbelievable world it is down there.
In this pic we are a few feet from a sting ray who is buried in the sand. His eyes are in the center (in front of my knees) and his tail goes all the way out of the picture to the right. When he left he swam right past us. Click on the pic and you'll see that I'm trying to get closer and Kim is pulling me back!


Another highlight was the snorkeling. We were amazed at how much life lives in such shallow water. Pictured here is a school of fish that came near us that I swam up to. The entire school was at least 3 times what can be seen in the pic.




Well, that's our June in a nutshell. We hope everyone is having a great summer. Take care and God bless.

With love from,
Keith, Kim, Molly, Kyle, and Blake
