Anthony vs. The French Toast

As most of you know, Anthony loves his food. This video was taken by my friend, Jill, on Mother's Day. Anthony couldn't eat his French toast fast enough!

The Ice Cream Truck

The ice cream truck came on our street the other night so Anthony got to get a treat. It was the first time he has seen the truck so he didn't know what to think at first. Once he got his ice cream, he was in heaven. Anthony and Chris were sharing tastes of their treats. It was so cute!

Congratulations to John and Nikky

John and Nikky tied the knot in Denver. We had so much fun visiting Denver and hanging out with the family!

It was great seeing you, Jenny and Kevin! Thanks for all of your help with Anthony

Ayla and Megan had a blast at the reception. They were both working the dance floor!


Great seeing you Kathy and Amy!

My brother, Tom, and our friend, Mikey, were cracking jokes at the reception. Those two are so much a like.......always laughing and having a good time!

A Night Out in Denver

We got to enjoy a night out with Kathy and Dusty, the night before the wedding. We went to a nice restaurant in downtown that had a delicious meat and cheese appetizer. We were lucky enough to get an outside table so we could people watch, which was a real treat! Lots of hoochie mamas!

Our Trip to the Royal Gorge in Denver

We went out to Denver for my brother John's wedding. We spent the day at the Royal Gorge outside of Denver. We took a train ride through the gorge and then went up top to view from above. The kids loved it! The train went along the Arkansas river so we got to see white water rafters go by. The gorge was beautiful!

After we went on the train, we went to the Dinosaur Museum. They had a lot of cool stuff for kids and adults.

The gorge park had a lot of cool stuff for the kids. Lots of animals with a petting zoo and a merry go round that the kids loved.

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!
