"TEAM POLLYWOOD"
Some of us raced for the cure, some of us walked for the cure, and others strolled for the cure! 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.
The Happy Couple
They had a beautiful reception at the Salt Lake Country Club
The Fassio Clan
Both sides of the family. Notice my brother Darren and his family on the left side of the picture. You see Darren (my brother) his brother-in-law James married my brother-in-law Tony. Small world woudn't ya say!
The other morning Dominic told me he was going to get dresses all by himself. "ME DO IT!" is actually how he informed me. Needless to say, this is what he came up with. Spongebob wrist bands and headband was all. Aparently underwear wasn't a necessity.
A reminder to be on our best behavior
The kids even got to be part of the play

Also, as soon as our house addition is done Dominic will be getting a new bedroom, which he has deemed a SUPERHERO theme and his nursery will become my craft room. Needless to say surfers, the ride is almost over!
Rocco was diggin' the shirnk wrap eggs
Dying Easter Eggs with the cousins
Dominic and Celeste. Not only did Dominic dye the eggs he re-dyed them over and over again!
The Easter Bunny sent the boys on a scavanger hunt. This is where they finally found their baskets, on the stairs that are under construction
Rocco is a HUGE Scooby Doo fan these days
Dominic is all about Diego

Moon boots make are great for puddle jumpin'
It's all fun and games until.....one goes down!
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.
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 W
Literally, tomorrow is my scheduled surgery to straighten my deviated septum. Wish me luck!
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.
The boys woke up to find that a Leprechaun had left GREEN and gold candies in their shoes.
Dominic modeling the Leprechaun mask that Rocco made at school.
St. Patrick's Day GREEN dinner: Green broccoli cheese soup, green rice, green cucumber slices, chicken and Sprite. Rocco is baffled every year at just how sneaky Leprechauns can be! 
Your Pre-K teacher from school comes to see you play basketball over the weekend. You'd think she'd had enough of them all week at school. Mrs. Long is an AMAZING teacher and we love her. Here is Mrs. Long, Rocco, and his best friend Asher who is also in Mrs. Long's class as well.
Another super fun site created by one of my super fun friends. Check it out! She's just getting started but has some really fun ideas and FREE giveaways. Way to go Michelle. I love the site and wish you all the best. Congrats on your feature on TipJunkie! Just click on her icon to the left and get in on her tips!
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.
Supplies: Flowers, Shaker, Ribbon/Card, and Scissors
Place a single stem through each hole in the lid of shaker until all the holes are filled. Tie ribbon around shaker, add a card, and voila! An inexpensive happy birthday or thank you bouquet.
One bouquet of small carnations was enough to fill two shakers.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.

Dominic wanted in on the action (gotta love the sideways cowboy hat!)
Rocco at workA little snippit of one of the songs they sang.
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.
