Wow, how he's grown!

2007-2008 Season

2008-2009 Season

2009-2010 Season

(He was too afraid of Lincoln this year, so no picture, but we do have the memory of him being on a ticket)

2010-2011 Season

The hockey season has started!!!!

Hockey season is here! 2 games down and 2 games won! We went on Friday night for opening night without Vinny. I forgot how fun our dates nights at Tips games are.


On Saturday we brought Vinny along. He had so much fun! He did really well this year, and I am looking forward to taking him to games this year. He was so excited when the team game out on the ice.

So serious.
Cheese!

My little video game junkie.

Vinny loves his video games. He plays his DS, loves to play games on my phone, and loves to play NHL 11 on the xbox. It really suprises me at 3 how well he does. On Saturday he stayed the night at Papa & Grandma's house. He taught Papa how to play DS.

Uncle Tim even let him join in the fun.

Go Mariners!!! (or Marineros)

Last night, Anthony and Wendy invited us to the Mariner's game. We had a great time! It was Latin American night, but we got a complete kick out of the Canadians sitting behind us! They were a riot! The M's lost, but it was still great to just go and hang out.

We finished off the night just hanging out at their place. Vinny stayed the night at Grandma's and I have to admit, it was kind of nice not having to rush home to a little one.

Thanks both of you for a great evening out!!! We had so much fun! Next time, Silvertips!!!

I just want to point out, that I was excited to be able to go out, so I straightened my hair, did my makeup and felt pretty good about myself before we left. Then it was rainy, and super humid, and I end up looking like the above... Such a waste of time, on my part... Oh well. Love this pic of Tony though <3

1st Day or Preschool

Today was Vinny's 1st day of actual preschool. He was very excited!

Showing off his cool Buzz Lightyear backpack.

All smiles as we get ready to go!
At school waiting for the "GO" sign.

Waiting for the rest of the class, hangin' with Mrs. Cunningham.

When we got there to pick him up, we got a sneak peak on the playground.

"Vinny, how was your 1st day of school?"

I think it went well!

They made a fruit loop necklace for their 1st craft project. He only put 4 fruitloops on, and didn't eat any of them. He also colored a school bus picture. He said that they played a lot and he made lots of friends. "Only with boys, not the girls."

Vinny's Orientation

Vinny was very nervous and didn't want to go to his school this morning, but once we got there, he had a lot of fun. We went to the santuary and they did a little orientation and prayer and then we headed to his classroom to see his class and meet his teachers. Both teachers seemed Vinny nice, and I was very impressed with the school.
Since we have been working on Vinny's "words" so much, before I went into the class, I told him that whe the teacher asked his name, do be sure to tell her very clearly. So we walked up and she said "and what's your name," He got really nervous, put his hands on his forehead, looked up at me and said "I forgot." She has got to think that he is a complete idiot. I should have just let him be and not said anything, but she'll learn soon enough that he is a bright little guy.
When it was time to go, at first he didn't want to leave, but finally he cleaned up all the toys (even the ones that weren't his) and said goodbye to his teachers. He is very excited to come back on Friday.

We walked in the door and first thing he did was sit down to start doing puzzles.

Not a great picture, but here he is with Donovan. Donovan is the grandson of one of my old customers. She is a great lady, and he is a great kid, so I hope they get to become friends.

Preschool

Vinny starts preschool this week. I am super excited for him, and nervous, as well. We go to orientation tomorrow and then he starts on Friday. He is going to Bethleham Lutheran Church. That is actually where I went too. His teacher is Miss Cunningham and there are 10 kids in his class. He will go Thursdays and Fridays. Eli and Braeden are also going, but they are in different classes, so they won't share classrooms, but they will see each other.
Then on the 29th he starts speech again on Tuesdays at Marshall Elementary. I am excited to see what she thinks after not seeing him all summer. I know that he has improved some, but since I see him everyday, I don't know if I am a good judge. It should be interesting.

Do the Puyallup!

The weather report was scary today, but we decided to brave it and head to the Puyallup Fair. We had so much fun. Vinny loved the rides, as always, and it was fun to hang out with Jason and Kenda. We even ran into Dan, Brenda and the kids. The sun even decided to come out and join us :)

That is Vinny going up the stairs.and him at the top....Weeeee! "That was Awesome!"

Making car noises with him lips.

Can't pass up the Corn on the Cob!

Vinny got to pick some boats and then won a duck stuffed animal.

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away
