HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

It's hard to believe Joe & I have been married for ELEVEN years today!!! Happy Anniversary to us! You all know it must be a VERY SPECIAL day if I post a picture of myself...I HATE pictures!!! That just shows how much I love my honey!!!! It seems like just yesterday that Joe paid my brother $1 to kiss me!! (Yeah, I'm cheap!!) P.S. Joe doesn't normally wear pink ties...but this a very special occasion when this picture was taken...Dave & Caterina's 20th Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony!!!

THE THREE AMIGOS....

Is this too cute or what!!! Our good friends Sammy, Connor & Mahlon...aka The Three Amigos. I love it!

I have plenty of fun pictures from all the Halloween festivities of my boys at school today but don't want to give away their costumes yet...so tune in again Monday!!!!

SOCCER IS OVER...

It's really hard to believe TEN WEEKS of soccer has come & gone! The U6 Roadrunners did an awesome job this year...and even went undefeated!!!! It was a great season! Team Party & Trophy Time....

JAKE'S FIRST KINDERGARTEN FIELD TRIP!

Jake had his first kindergarten field trip this week to the Pumpkin Patch! (I think I've had enough of the Pumpkin Patch for this year!!!! )
Brushing the (pregnant) pony....
With his buddy Pedro....
The class..... Jake, Elias, Martin & Kaisei. Jake's first trip on a school bus! He said it wasn't anything he expected it to be....he thought it would look like a theatre with theatre seats!!!

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE YOUR HEAD PLAYING SOCCER....

...you get a nice shiner! The bruise keeps getting darker as the day goes on. Poor Justin, he manages to get hurt at least once a week at school! The nurse has our number on speed dial I'm sure! He's got a tough head that is used to injuries so he should be okay! Doesn't he look so pitiful?!?!?!

GOOD READ...

As most of you know, I'm not a huge reader! A friend passed onto me the new Oprah Book "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey. This is the best book I have read in a long time. It is a true story of his 6 weeks in rehab for drug & alcohol addiction. I could not put the book down! His style of writing is very unique. The book is really hard to explain other than how heartwrenching and brutally honest he is! It really gives you an insight into what addicts go thru in their road to recovery! I'm sure it will hit very close to home with alot of people, myself included, who know or have known an addict but it is worth the read. The second book is obviously about his friend Leonard whom he met in rehab. Another good book! P.S. He will be on Oprah Wednesday 10/26

OLDIE BUT GOODIE....

I just can't figure out what it is but something about this picture of my brother always makes me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!! hhmmm.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!

Happy Birthday nephew Michael! (Joe's sister Caterina's youngest baby). Doesn't he look like an Abercromdie model!

THIS IS WHY I DON'T RUN ON THE TREADMILL....

JOSHY'S "VACATION" TO PAPA & MOMO'S

Joshy has been wanting to "go on vacation" to Momo & Papa's so after Jake's party he was on his way!! He ended up staying for 4 days!! I think he was ready to come home at 3 days but momma had a hair appointment! They had a great time, and of course, stayed extremely busy!! There is always so much good fun to be had!!

TURTLE BAY

Turtle Bay is an awesome Museum & Arboretum located in Redding. There is so much to do and see there and the kids love it! It's a really beautiful place! They also have the new Sundial Bridge. For more info visit the website at www.turtlebay.org. If you are ever passing thru Redding it's a must see!!!

THE SUNDIAL BRIDGE AT TURTLE BAY
