Pinterest

Lately I have kind of been addicted to a new website called Pinterest. (http://www.pinterest.com/) It is full of great ideas! I have tried several recipes, and some crafts and have a ton more that I can't wait to do. I thought I would share some of the things I have made so far...
The photo on the banner of my blog was from a picture that I saw on there ....

Rules to Follow picture: I still need to frame this.
 I love you this much card: Vinny made this for Tony for Father's Day.
I love you because picture: I love this. I write little messages to Tony and Vinny in dry erase marker and it wipes right off.

 Ruler Growth Chart: My favorite thing. I didn't really make it thugh. My father in law did. (Thanks Dan!!!!) It has Vinny's height from birth and I can't wait to keep it up as he grows.
 Puffy Paint: This was a puffy paint project that we did that was a lot of fun.


I can't wait to try tons of other ideas I have found on there!

Dad & Me Pumpkin Carving



Vinny's school does a special night where the students and their Dads get to go to school and carve pumpkins. It is a fun night for just the two of them and Vinny had so much fun!

52 week project - week 41

Friday night was Pink the Rink at the Everett Silvertips. It was an event to raise money for breast cancer research. The Silvertips ended up raising over $78,000 that night! Here is a pic of Vinny and I showing our support!

yes, I am behind...

I realize how far behind I am in blogging. To be honest, I have been working a lot of later nights, and just been so busy, that when I am home I don't have time to spend the time on the computer. It is just so much faster to post pictures on facebook, that I usually just do that, so if you every want to see pics, check there. :)
Vinny has been doing hockey lessons and loves it. He has had 3 so far and the coach says he is doing really well. I keep wondering when he will get bored with it, because what 4 year old sticks to something so much, but he is determined to be on a hockey team.
He also took up a new sport. Gymnastics. He went to a birthday party at Rising Star Gymnastics and loved it. So, he went back for his 1st class last Thursday and wants to keep going, so we are going to let him do that too. It's only once a week, for 45 minutes, so if nothing else, it wears him out.

I love you mom.

Yes, I realize it is sideways, but I took this on my phone... such a good job <3

Speech Update

Vinny went back to meet with Vivian Brade at Marshall to talk about his IEP and speech. He was so excited to go and see her again. In the morning before we left he was jumping up and down in the living room saying "I get to see Ms. Vivian!!!" When she re evaluated him, we decided to drop him down to visiting her once a month for 30 minutes. This won't do a whole lot, but she will be able to give us some homework type things, and just help us to keep on top of everything so that he doesn't relapse.
I am so proud of him for the accomplishments and improvement he has made so far.

Field trip to the pumpkin patch

Last week, Vinny's school went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Tony was able to take the time off of work to go with him. They both said that they had a great time. Vinny picked out this pumpkin.
