JUST GOOFIN AROUND

This is our last day of vacation before we all pile back into the car and head for home.. We have spent many days in the pool swimming and playing together. We also visted the magic kingdom and Hollywood studios. I think hollywood studios was the best hands down.. Joey got to go on stage and fight Darth Vador with a light saver. He was so excited.. Paul and Gianna went up and danced with High school musical it was very cool!! And my little girl went up to see chip and dale because she is missing her cats REAL BAD.. She has asked to go home more than once because the cats are lonely. Just a quick update untill we get home...

Happy birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this week was my birthday and I celebrated it with some of my greatest friends!! We spent the night talking and laughing and munching on some yummy food.. On Wednesday I went to Mothers day breakfast with Paul and Joey and my mom at their school.. It is such a nice thing the pta does for the school. We always have a good time..It was a week of celebrating for me because on Friday night Paul and Joe had mother son bowling.. We had pizza and ice cream and bowled 2 games before calling it a night.. This was another great night out because of our pta..

The week ended with me taking my mom for our first pedicures for mothers day.. I think we both enjoyed it..

Well happy mothers day to everyone.

This that and few other things!!!!

so I am the very bad at this whole blogging thing... We have been very busy in the past two and a half months.. Daniel turned 5 in February and Victoria turned 3 in April..

Joey and Danny have started t-ball and love it.. Joseph won 1st place in the pine wood derby for cub scouts. Paul has been practicing for his chorus concert tomorrow night..

WE leave for Florida in 2 weeks for a much needed vacation. Mommy is looking foward to some warm weather and sunshine. Hopefully we will be able to see Uncle john while we are down there. He just moved to Miami and we are hoping to get him up to orlando to see the kids. Daddy has been busy with work and coaching t-ball . Mommy runs around like crazy from one activity to the next with everyone. Mommy is looking foward to a girls night out on sat with some of the most amazing girls who make me laugh all the time... In honour of their birthdays I have to post some pictures of Danny and Tori. Danny had a rollerskating party with his friends from school. Victoria went to the hair salon for a day of pampering.. She had the best time with her cousin Anjalyna and friends Gianna and Gianna.

Peace out Peeps

The magic of Disney.......

Last Saturday we went to see Finding Nemo on Ice.. What a great show I have never been to a Disney show on Ice before. And being a die hard Disney fan this was a great treat for me and the kiddos.. All of them enjoyed the show and sat through the whole show! Daddy scored tickets at work so he and Paul and Joey got to sit in the sixth row up real close.. And Danny well he got to hang out with his pal Nick. These two are attatched at the hip.. Little miss Victoria spent the day with Gianna. We all had a blast. Can't wait to go to Florida with these guys in May.

One Crazy Week

We have had one crazy week around here... On Saturday night, Anthony and I took the kids roller skating!! Peppe and Grace and the kids went with us.. We had so much fun! I am sorry to say that I did not get one single picture.. Victoria loved it so much that she wants to go back again..

The kids have been busy with after school activities.(that means mom is running around like a nut to get everyone where they need to go.)

On Wednesday a little package arrived from Uncle Tommy...Dance dance revolution for the Wii.. Oh my it is so much fun. The kids went to bed and I stayed up and played with it.. You can definitely drop a few pounds.. If you don't have it I say you need to get it.. Thanks Tommy and Maureen..

Yesterday Anthony surprised me by telling me he is taking me away overnight next week.. He talked to Jenn and Michelle and they are going to spend the night with the kids and get them to school on Friday for us.. I can't wait to get away..

The picture is of the six of us before Christmas at Lawrence Farms.. They have a great little village and santa was there.. If you have never been there I suggest you go in June and pick some strawberries they are to die for.

Happy New Year!!!!

As 2007 ended I became a little sad to see it go. 2007 was a good year for me and my family. It is so hard for me to believe that we are welcoming in a new year. As I get older the years start to go by faster and faster. It is hard for me to believe that I have a 3rd grader who is preparing for state tests next week. And a 1st grader that can read chapter books and truly enjoys reading. Then there are my babies who are not really babies anymore. Next month I have to register Daniel for kindergarten and Victoria for pre school. WOW!! As the new year starts I am having a hard time with them growing up.. They have lives of there own and friends that they want to hang out with. But I must let them find their way as every parent must do. Teach them to be independent and confident.
We had a great time over vacation celebrating Christmas with our friends and family. We played some guitar hero, sang some high school musical, jumped on the new trampoline. And Anthony and I got to ring in the new year with great friends and good food.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2008

ps the new stampin up catalog is in. contact me if you would like one.

May the force be with you....

What a busy weekend ..Sat I hosted a Christmas card workshop and we had a blast.. Everyone made 15 cards and a small nugget box.. The nugget box was a hit, but who can resist CANDY!!!. Then Sat night Anthony and I went out to dinner with our good friends the Millers and the Terribiles.. I have never laughed so hard in my life.. Tears were rolling down my eyes.. Since my husband is such a good sport I can post this hilarious comment.. Now many of you know that my husband is not a small man, we were seated in a very small corner of the Chinese restaurant..which is pretty funny but the waiter came over and did not speak English very well.. So he looks at my husband and says we slide tables together you gigantic!! Anthony says I think he called me gigantic? well you had to pick me and Lisa up off the floor because we were laughing so hard.. Now this went on all through dinner if Anthony asked for something the waiter said ok you gigantic.. Now I know that is not what he really meant and we all found it funny.. But honey I love you even if you are gigantic..

On Sunday we went to a halloween party at my sisters house.. what a great time the kids had.. here are a few pictures of my little trick or treaters
