Giovanni's 1st Time In His Little Pool

These photos were actually taken Saturday at Francesca's birthday party, but Giovanni was having so much fun in his little pool, I wanted to make a separate blog ♥ Nino really enjoyed watching his brother laughing and splashing around. What a wonderful big brother he is!! I remember like it was yesterday Antonio's 1st time in his baby pool... my boys give me the most beautiful memories... they grow too fast! Here are some photos of my baby after the fun... All dried up and dressed :)Standing with Zia Andrea!

Happy Birthday Francesca!

Happy birthday to my beautiful Goddaughter/niece Francesca who celebrated her 9th birthday May 27th. Today was her birthday party and we had a wonderful time! She loves to decorate her parties with "America" in mind since her birthday is so close to Memorial Day. Everything turned out great and the kids had a blast in the pool and on the water slide. Seems like just yesterday she was still a little peanut and I was changing her diapers!

Wordless Wednesday

A Day At The Magic Kingdom!

Yesterday we had our Disney Day. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect time. We had the BEST time! Antonio was picked out of the audience, along with three other children to have a sword fight with one of Jack Sparrow's pirates! After, we took him to this new thing Disney is doing where they turn you into a pirate, give you your own pirate name and more! It was one of the best parts of our day! Antonio was in his glory! It was definitely worth the money. First, he put on his pirate shirt and got his pirate name. They figure it out according to something Antonio picked out of a chest and his birth month. Antonio is Pirate David Rigspinner. Then, they turned him into a pirate. Painted his face, gave him a lot of pirate gear and initiated him into their crew!! The whole thing took about a hour and a half but it was awesome!! Giovanni LOVED his first time at Disney World. He was not scared of the characters. He LOVED them! He did not cry or complain the entire day, he was enjoying every bit of it, even the fireworks! We have another Disney lover in our crew! Antonio also got to ride Space Mountain. That was the only ride he never went on because he was not tall enough until this year. I got a special album to put all of these photo's in because it was Gio's first time. We can not WAIT to go back again next month for our anniversary!
