ANTONIO'S 7th BIRTHDAY/HALLOWEEN BASH!!

Antonio just loves Halloween-- so this year, we had his 7th birthday party 2 weeks early so he could have a Halloween theme, it was so much fun! I love throwing parties, especially a Halloween one! All of the children, as well as the adults had an absolute blast. The weather was perfect, the sky was bright blue, costumes were great, the food was amazing... I just couldn't have had a better time watching my beautiful boy enjoy his party and watching everyone have fun!

Carving Pumpkins and Cooking Seeds

I can not believe its that time of year again! Time to whip out the sweatshirts and boots... and carve pumpkins and cook the seeds like we do every year! The kids have so much fun doing this and Antonio was able to carve his pumpkin all by himself this year with a pumpkin carving kit I bought him... he didn't want my help at all and he did a great job creating his face and carving it out. Giovanni of course, still needs help carving but LOVED taking the guts out!Giovanni's Pumpkin:Antonio's Pumpkin:The fall/halloween cake pops we attempted to make: our first try:Giovanni is dunzo after a long day!

My Smart Blessed Big Boy!

Before going to religion class, I had to take my baby Antonio to get a surprise tonight because he was the ONLY one in his class who got 100% on his unit test! He brings home the most wonderful grades and I feel overly blessed to have such a smart healthy big boy!! God has blessed my baby with some brain!!

He picked out 2 "Real Steel" action figures because his daddy took him to see that movie yesterday and he loved it. He also wanted a toy skeleton... LOL my baby and his Halloween...

Halloween Costumes and Invite!

The boys got their costumes [[Antonio couldn't decide so he got two]] and Antonio's Halloween Birthday Invites were sent out! Woohoo I love this time of year!

Busch Gardens "Howl O' Scream"

Josh and I had an amazing time on my birthday date. We had never been to Busch Garden's "Howl O' Scream" before so this was the perfect time to go! My sister was nice enough to have a play date with the boys and hubby and I had the night to ourselves! I swear he makes me feel like a teenager all over again!! We just laughed and flirted all night and it was just awesome. It feels so good to have a big strong man to hold on to going through all of those scary houses!

My 28th Birthday!

Wednesday was my birthday, and what a wonderful one I had!! I spent the day with my family and friends and it was amazing. Hubby got me the most delicious cake and took me to Busch Garden's "Howl O' Scream"! It was a BLAST! The boys got me the most delicious smelling perfume and a handbag to go with it! My parents got me the most gorgeous leather jacket to match the new boots I got last year, I cant not WAIT to wear it AND Bake Pops! I can not waitttt to make them for Antonio's Halloween Birthday Bash he is having this year! I am so blessed and in love with life! Happy Birthday to ME!

Happy 2nd Birthday Giovanni!!

What a wonderful, blessed 2nd birthday our baby Gio had!! He was so happy all day, it was precious! He was thrilled to see the decorations he picked out set up... Disney's Phineas and Ferb ... he loves that show! Since we already took him to the zoo last weekend for his birthday, I figured I would just have something small at the house today to celebrate his actual birthday. Josh and I bought him some P n F toys so I was able to decorate his cake myself. He was so excited when we brought out his cake he started screaming and clapping... the toys got to stay on for about 1.5 seconds lol. He got wonderful gifts from his family and friends and he could not be more happy then he is today! Thank you all so very much for all of your calls, thoughts, posts, texts, visits and presents for Giovanni's special day! His family and friends are what made his day so great!

May all the best in life my Son,

Enrich your future way,

Adventure and good fortune, too,

Bring joy to you each day.

Antonio loves his Halloween costume so much he wore it for his brothers birthday!

Toys R Us for Gio's 2nd Birthday!

Gio had a blast going to Toys R Us to pick out some birthday presents! I really had a wonderful time with him, he was such a pleasure! When we got there, Toys R Us gave him a birthday crown and a birthday balloon and announced his name and birthday over the loud speaker. Everyone in the store that saw him with his crown on had to stop and say "happy birthday", he thought he was king for a day! He kept his crown on the entire time! What a ham hahaha. I find it so cute that its the little things that make my baby the happiest! Antonio even got something because this toy had just hit the floors when we got there and we bought the very first one! Its called an "Air Swimmer" and Antonio LOVESSS it just like I knew he would!

Got lunch, ready to go home and play with my new toys!
