Easter 2011

Sorry posting so late! I've been on Spring Break and have been busy swimming and playing with the kiddies!

Easter was spent at my Mom & Dad's place this year, instead of the normal Easter Sunday at my Nana's house on the water. We had a blast! The kids looked adorable in their matching shirts that I made them.

Here are some photos!

Skyler was able to color her own eggs this year. Tony was too tired to stay up to do it :(



The Easter Bunny spoiled Tony & Skyler!


Here are Tony & Skyler's matching Shirts I made them. And of course some beautiful photos of Skyler in her Easter dress & Tony in his cute shirt!




Tony was spoiled(AGAIN!) by his wonderful God parents, Rachel & Jared!



Rob & I at my mom's!


Tony ate his first Fun Dip!(Candy)


Family photos!




Hope you enjoyed the update!

Tony's Birthday was a SUCCESS!!!!

We had such a blast at Tony's Birthday party April 16th. We had it at Aldermann Ford Park and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!! I wish we would have had the entire family there...but the people who came made his birthday a joy! I'll let the photos do most of the talking.(Even though, you know me, I'll tell you all about each photo!)

Here they are:

My best friend, Sara, made this gorgeous cake for Tony's party! I ordered the monkey's off of Etsy.


This is the banner I made for his party : )


I made him a "Babies First Year" photo banner!


The sweets table & monkey hats I bought for favors.


Fruit baskets on each table.


Singing Happy Birthday


I made chocolate monkey lollipops and chocolate covered pretzels.


Opening presents with his friends.


His best friend, Troy, showing him how to push the buttons on his new toy we bought with money from Grandma & Hal! : )


Happy Birthday with Daddy & Mommy!


Our Monkey with a face full of cake! (I made him a banana shaped smash-cake)


Here he is pigging out! I also made his high chair decorations!


Skyler & my sister, Anna, had a blast on the playground.


Tony had a blast on the slides(Yes...I taught him not to go up..but this was adorable!)


At the end of the party, in the back of Daddy's truck, with all Tony's presents loaded up & their monkey hats on!


The pictures tell the story! We had such a good time! The party went very smoothly, except the part where Rob forgot the silverware, but we won't re-hash that one.

Next update...I'll post Easter photos! YAY!

Well...it's Official!

We have a ONE YEAR OLD!!!! OMG!  I'm in shock to even be saying that.  Anthony William is officially ONE as of Wednesday,April 6th, 2011.  Our baby boy is now a big boy!  He's walking SO good now.  He still prefers to crawl if he can...but I'm very proud of him for his progress.  We are going to be buying him his first official pair of walking shoes.  And, no, they won't be the white walking shoes.  He is going to be styling a pair of adorable Stride-Rite shoes that actually fit his chubby feet! : )

And if your wondering if I cried on Wednesday, I did.  I just can't believe that our little baby boy is one.  I remember being SO excited when we found out we were pregnant.  I remember, every second, of the day he was born.  It's amazing how fast one year can go, but how little you forget about all the moments that have made your heart flutter with excitement. 

We had a mini celebration with Skyler's t-ball team.  I made 30 cupcakes for everyone.  Our friends, Sara, Justin, & Tony's best friend, Troy, came to visit us at the t-ball field to celebrate his birthday.  Tony's actual party will be Saturday, April 16th.  So look forward to some more celebration photos!!!

And now, for your viewing pleasure, here are the photos:

After work, I managed to get Tony a haircut by our close family friend, Anne-marie!!!(His first BIG BOY haircut)



I made 30 cupcakes to celebrate the day! For someone who doesn't bake and cook...they turned out amazing!



The Birthday Boy!!!


Tony's best friend, Troy!


"I'm one!"


Hope you enjoyed! I will post more pictures soon!!!

Never a dull moment with the Ferrante Family!

Rob celebrated his 30th Birthday with the family.  We had a t-ball game early morning, we decided to go to Sea World (purchased 1 year passes), & we watched movies until we fell asleep.  It really was one of the best days we have had together...and well worth it!  The kids enjoyed Sea World, both Tony & Skyler.  It was amazing to see the smiles on their faces.  Here are some photos from that day:

The Birthday Boy!!!

Tony LOVED the whale show!


First time at Sea World : )


They both left with little souveniers!


Then, for Valentines Day...I suprised Rob with tickets to see the Rays play baseball!  It's always a fun time!  So...we went for that on Wednesday...a late birthday gift!  Rachel & Jared, Tony's God-parents, came with us!  It was a blast!!!  Here are a few pictures:

Rob & I at the Rays Game

He looks so hott here! I love him! <3

Then, today, Tony recieved his card from Grandma & Hal in Ohio!  It was his first Birthday Card (besides the one that ToysRus sent him!).  He was very excited to look at it! : )






I hope you enjoyed the update!  Can't wait to post pictures of Spring Jubilee after this weekend! : )
