June Photos

Anthony got a new hat at the farmer's market. He looks so cute in it and he loves to show it off. He is still a little ham!
Anthony got to visit with his girlfriend Victoria. The loved riding the teeter-totter together! They had so much fun!

Anthony pooped on the toilet for the first time. He was so proud of himself. Everytime he heard something drop, he would clap. It was so funny to watch him! I'm so proud of him!

I finally had a chance to update the blog. I'm sorry it has taken me so long. Anthony is getting so big. He has started to talk more. He'll repeat anything I say. It's funny to hear him say the long words that he doesn't quite know how to say. His vocabulary consist of dog, cat, mom, dad, mama, papa, grandma, pappa, hot, balloon, eat, and pop. He said blanket today. It was a little tough for him but he said it. His newest thing is feeding himself. He gets mad if I try to feed him. He is also walking down the stairs like an adult. He makes me so nervous but he is determined to do it! I have to admit, he's pretty good at it!
I hope you enjoy the new pictures!

Graduation Cookout and Pig Roast!

Thanks to parents of the graduates for throwing a great party weekend. We had so much fun and it was great seeing everyone! The food was excellent!!

The kids loved the blow up jumpy that was rented. Anthony couldn't get enough of it! Thanks, Alexa and Bailee, for spoiling him!

Sally, I'm glad you and Charlie were able to make it. Tim, we hope to see you next time.

We were able to get a game of bocce in before dinner.

We had quite a rain storm the day of the pig roast. Anthony decided to have a little fun and jump in the puddles in the backyard.

Anthony loved Terrie and Steve's little dog. He kept looking inside his pin to see if he was going to come out.

Congratulations to the Graduates!

Congratulations to Aaron, Brigan, Marcus, Katrina and Laurie! We're so proud of you!

Anthony Got a New Sandbox

We got Anthony a new sandbox for the backyard. He gets so excited to go down and play in it. He loves to have Christopher over to play with him too. It's a nice little break for both Mom and Dad's while they play!

Anthony Helps Marc With The Yard

Anthony has been helping Marc with the yard work. He loves watering all of the plants and he can't help but take a drink. By the end, his clothes are soaking wet. As you can see, it didn't take long for him to get stripped down to his diaper.

Our Visit To Florida

We went to Florida to visit Amy and Javier. It was nice to get out of the cold weather and into the warm sunshine! We had a great time visiting and Anthony loved being spoiled by the both of them.

Anthony loved the beach. He couldn't quite get adjusted to walking on the sand. He would walk a few steps and then fall down because of it being uneven. It was so cute to watch him try to walk to the water.

Anthony loved the playground. He could have stayed there all day!

We had adult night one night and went to the casino. We all walked away as winners by playing Paigow! Thanks, Javier, for showing us how to play!

Amy and Javier were nice enough to watch Anthony for a night while we stayed at a resort. We went out to a nice restaurant and enjoyed some peace and quiet on the beach and by the pool. This picture was taken when she dropped us off and we were saying goodbye to Anthony. He was ready to be spoiled by Aunt Amy!



Ahhhhhh!!! Peace and quiet!

Our Visit to Ashtabula

We went up to visit everyone in Ashtabula and even got to enjoy some decent weather to look for some beach glass at the cottage.


Anthony got to visit and play with his girlfriend, Victoria. Our friends, RJ and Jill, have a little girl that just turned a year on April 1st. She is getting so big and is getting to be at a good age to play with Anthony.

We had decent weather so we decided to go walk the beach. Anthony was begging to get down so he could run around. He loved it! Marc and I are addicted to searching for beach glass. We ended up finding some great pieces. It is so therapeutic!

Anthony climbed up to Papa Varckette's desk. He thought he was in charge for the day!

We went to the Crow's Nest for dinner with Maria and Paul. Anthony loved the bowling machine. Maria had a great time playing with him and showing him how to play.

Anthony Having Fun

Anthony loves his cousin, Christopher. Christopher was over playing and decided to take a bath with Anthony at bath time. They had so much fun splashing the water and getting me wet!

We have finally had some warm weather so we've been able to go to the park down the street. As you can tell, Anthony was loving it!

Anthony Loved Playing With His Cousins

Anthony got to visit with his cousin's, Jay and Greg. He loves them! They spoil him like crazy!

Amy and Javier Came to Visit

Amy and Javier came to visit us so we took them up to Holiday Valley to go skiing. We had perfect ski weather and conditions.

After a hard day skiing, we enjoyed some delicious wings and beer at the local bar. A perfect way to end a hard day of skiing.

This picture was taken on the way to pick Amy and Javier up. I looked back and found Anthony playing peek-a-boo with my scarf.

The Winery

While Amy and Javier were visiting up at the lake house, we took them to a few wineries, Laurello's and Harpersfield. We had a lot of fun and even got a tour of one of them.

Maria and I snuck in a picture, while taking a the tour at Laurello's. We love our wine! :)

Paul was the pourer and tried to give everybody an extra helping!

After the first winery, we went to Harpersfield. Great music and tasty wine!
