Rocco's 2nd Year of Swimming Lessons
NEW POSTS COMING SOON!!!!!
I am back from hiatus. I have been debating whether to try and blog our past 5 months or just start from now and work my way back. The OCD in me wants me to just pick things up where I left off and so that's what I'll be doing. So ......we'll start back at the end of May. We've been pretty busy around here so bear with me.

PEEP This
Rocco's Easter treats for his class.
I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this saying, someone on TV referenced their "PEEPS" as in friends and an idea was born! Inside the bags were "PEEPS" themselves and a coloring page.
I got this page from http://www.coloring-book.info/ on line.
Here is a little Easter arrangement for Rocco's teacher. With the added "PEEP" on top! This is the same flower arrangement I made with the shaker bottles (from an earlier post) and in one of the holes I put a PEEP on a skewer and placed it in one of the holes.Sinus Surgery = One Ugly Pix
Here I am post surgery. This is a much better look for me than from Sunday when my eyes decided to swell shut. Despite the picture I'm feeling good. They said it would take about 2wks. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday to get all the packing taken out of my nose and hopefully be able to breath. Thanks for all the get well calls, flowers, and slurpees! xoXOxo WA Sample of Rocco's Imagination 101
For those of you who truly know Rocco, you know what kind of an imagination this kid has, and YES John, his imaginary friend, is still with us. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. For those of you who don't know Rocco as well, let me give you a little insight.
Get It...Got It...Good
Happy St. Patrick's Day
The boys woke up to find that a Leprechaun had left GREEN and gold candies in their shoes.

Dominic = Big Boy Pants
NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! I finally feel safe enough to blog about it. For awhile now I thought if I said anything I might jinx it. It has now been officially 40 days since Dominic stopped wearing diapers. I'd love to tell you I had some great impact on this remarkable event but the truth is one afternoon I found the base to Rocco's old potty training toilet and set it out and Dominic hasn't looked back!!!! He doesn't even wear a pull up to bed. He's AMAZING. It's like he woke up one day and was potty trained. I love this kid I tell ya, and at only 26 months old.
Pnemonia is the WORST!!!!!
First of all let me start by thanking everyone for all of your calls, thoughts, and prayers for little Dominic. He is now on the road to recovery. We had a really scary incident last week that landed Dominic in the emergency room only to discover he had pnemonia. Needless to say, his fever finally broke 3 days later and he is now doing a ton better. For all you mothers who have ever had to make a trip to the ER with your baby I never truly understood just what a horrific experience that is. I hope I never have to do it again.
A Fabulous Valentine's Week!
Superbowl Sunday
Rocco's Parent/Grandparent Day at School
These Boot Are Made For Walkin'.......and fallin'
Dominic and his new boots that he wore 24/7 the first week he got them.
He also fell down the cement stairs in them and did a little damage to the face.
That didn't stop him however from continuting to wear the boots.
The boots hold some kind of power, Dominic has quite the personality while wearing the boots. He doesn't just walk, he struts and walks in a very defined heel toe manner. I also love the fact that he wears his cowboy hat sideways.HOLY TATTOO'S BATMAN!
BEFORE PICTURE
A lot of you have asked me what is your upper membrane, now you know. Hope this doesn't gross anybody out.
I had my lower lashline tattooed this month.
AFTER PICTURE.This is now what I look like without any makeup. My eyes look a little red and shiny because we took this picture the day after I had it done and I have ointment on them. I super love it and love how it looks like I actually have lashes. I would highly recommend it and the girl who I had it done by.
