Stephen's 1st Birthday

Stephen turned 1 last month! We all had a great time at his party. The kids had a blast playing outside, splashing in the pool and swatting at the pinata! Still can't believe this little guy is 1 already! We are so honored to be your Godparents, Steve - Happy Birthday!

2nd Birthday Party

We were lucky to have family fly in for Anthony's birthday party and even though the weather didn't cooperate, everyone still seemed to have a good time. There was face-painting and balloon animals galore! We even had a special guest surprise the kids!

Mickey Mouse came to visit the kids!

2 Year Check-up

Anthony had his 2 year check-up yesterday. He did great, although now recognizes the doctor's office so wasn't too thrilled when he realized where we were. Here are his stats:

Height: 35 inches - 68th percentile

Weight: 28lb, 1oz - 62nd percentile

We also took him to get his pictures done last weekend. This had to be the most challenging time we've ever had - but eventually after LOTS of trying and a VERY patient photographer, we got a few great shots!

Happy 2nd Birthday Anthony!

Anthony turned 2 on April 8th. His birthday celebration will pretty much last the entire month of April with the multiple cakes, presents and family visits - lucky kid! Actually we're the lucky ones. He is an absolute joy and has brought more happiness to this family than words can ever express. We love you!

Here we are singing again - sorry for the reverse order of pictures! Check out that smile - can you tell this kid loves his birthday already?

Easter Weekend

We enjoyed lots of Easter celebrating this year with Easter Egg hunts, coloring eggs, lots of special gifts, great friends & good food!

The Anctil's had us over Easter day

Hunting some eggs Easter Day

Steve was taking in the scenery!

We colored eggs a couple of days before

Anthony didn't totally get the concept, but sat there for a lot longer than I ever thought he would - and boy was he a mess afterward!

We took the kids to another egg hunt earlier that weekend - they had a blast and neither Anthony nor Kayla wanted to leave when it was over!

March Madness

Ok, not basketball so March catchup?? Here are pics from the last couple weeks of March including Jenn, Jaime & Tyler's visit. It was great seeing them and too cute watching the kids play together.

The boys - not sure what's up with my camera setting here!

Rich playing softball

Anthony cheering on Daddy

All four kids - none of them are looking though - not so easy to take a picture of four kids this age!

Favorites

We had a fun week and here are some of Anthony's favorite things to do these days.

Loves vanilla milkshakes (who can blame him)...First thing out of his mouth when he sees one, is "Have Some". As you can see, he's lounging drinking what started off as Mommy's milkshake.

Happy St. Patty's Day!
He always has a blast in the tub - this has to be my new fave pic!

Paging Dr. Marino!

Random Update

Some recent pics...

The first two are a couple from Rich's birthday. I didn't take any pictures during the birthday dinner when everyone got together so I guess these two will have to do!

Playing outside - he's playing with the dogs through the fence

Another day at the park

Playing with his garage - this kid LOVES cars!

Play-doh!
