#43!

This weekend was jam packed!!! Saturday started with going to Phx Art Museum for Educator's Arts day with some of my co-workers... then off to get my hair colored... then came home and our good friend Andrea... Auntie Andrea, to the kids, came over to watch the kids so Sal and I can go out to dinner... The kids had a blast with Auntie Andrea eating pizza and playing. We had a beautiful night out. Today... we hung out swimming in the pool and Sal made a delicious dinner, topped off with a cake... perfect ending to a perfect #43.

Randoms of the kiddos!

Another tooth is lost!

The two bottom teeth are gone and the tooth fairy came again!! This time Gia lost her tooth on the playground at school during recess. When John and I picked her up it was the first thing she told us LOL!! She looks so cute!!! Of course.. more glosses and stuff from the tooth fairy!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Only 1 candle, there would have been an inferno if I put all 46 haha!! 

We celebrated Sal's birthday on Sunday .... Gia and I read a story called Bruno's cake .... at the end of the story was the recipe for the cake... so we figured we would try it out from scratch... Mmmm was it delicious... and not too sweet because we know the birthday boy does not like things too sweet... This was the first year Gia signed the card and really understand it LOL  and she signed for her brother too.. Happy Happy Birthday love and like the card says... you are the best thing that has happened to me... I love you and  I am looking forward to so many more wonderful birthdays with you and our 2 little dolls.

Pink star role model and.....

At Gia's school everyday she comes home with a folder about behavior and it is based on colored stars... since the beginning of when the behavior chart started she has gotten purple stars which is "great leader" and this week she got 2 pink stars which is the highest "role model".. so.... Sal took Gia out for a surprise to Claire's for a new tiara and Pellie which is below.. she officially adopted Pellie and has the paperwork for her! LOL

 LOOK WHO LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!!!! THE TOOTH FAIRY IS COMING!!!!

Her second tooth is not too far out from coming out either LOL!!

Fun with Nana NY!

Inside the card. 

We all went out to eat to George and Sons which has the most delicious Chinese food and I was completely caught off guard. Sal said he forgot his cell in his car so he went outside to get it when he returned he said "Happy 10 year Anniversary.... 10 years ago we first sent messages to one another on Match.com and I made this card with all the original messages from that first time as I saved them." I was in tears... the cover is the first picture we ever took together at Roosevelt Lake and inside sure enough were those messages from 10 years ago. Then he said he had something else and took out a box with a beautiful Levian ruby and diamond necklace... I will never forget that night and to share it all with the kids and Nana NY who is visiting was extra special too.. she told me she knew about it for months !! She sure knows how to keep a secret! It was a wonderful night, I am so blessed and to you my love.... there are not enough words.. there never is. With all my heart and soul.... everything.

Lovies and sleepover selfies with my Jeej!

Our backyard tree provides so much shade and for this I am thankful

Celebrating Gia's first day of Kindergarten at Pomo, her new favorite spot!

Gia's First day of KINDERGARTEN! 8.10.16

It's your first day of school beautiful! 

 We are all waiting to pick Gia up on her first day of school!

 The pics below are when Sal dropped her off at school for the first time....

Third day of school!

Our baby girl is officially a student! Gia LOVES school . I was emotional leaving her Wednesday morning as I had to go to work so Sal took Gia... Sal said all the kids that were dropped off by their mothers cried and the one's that were dropped off by their Dads' did not.. so something to keep in mind when it is John's turn... anyway, she just loves school and is such a little big girl... John misses his sister as he is so used to her being with him ever since he was born..they are so so close.. he gets so excited when Gia walks through the door after her day. We are so excited for her 1st year of school! Way to go Jeej!!! SOOO PROUD!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
