Christmas 2011

Rocco and Cousin Wess with Santa

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Had an eventful Thanksgiving.
First spent some time at my parents house for some Whittemore fun and than went to Mike's sister Michelle's house for a Tricoli Thanksgiving. This year I have a lot to be thankful for! I am most thankful for my three boys: for m wonderful husband, a happy one year old, and another healthy baby on the way. I am thankful that both Mike and I have found jobs and that I have amazing family that is so helpful at watching Rocco so I can work.

Happy Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year:

Rocco was a greaser

Mike was Joe Dirt

I was a pregnant wench

Rocco and I went trick or treating with Wess, David, and Sara (while Mike stayed home with a some horrible tooth pain). We had a lot of fun with cousin Wess but we sure missed Daddy!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

As a family we went to the pumpkin patch in Mission Valley to celebrate autumn. Rocco was too small to go on most of the rides but he loved to watch them. He also loved all the pumpkins, the people watching, the train ride with dad, and the slide. He walked around trying to pick up every pumpkin, including the ones that were bigger than him. We didn’t end up buying a pumpkin but it was a lot of fun.

Robe and Meridith's Wedding

Robe and Meridith were married on a sunny San Diego day. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Rocco was so happy to be out with his cousins and was smiles the whole day. During the reception all the Whittemore grandkids were out on the dance floor dancing.

So happy for Robe and Meridith

Rocco meeting Cody

During Robe and Meridith's wedding week, Rocco got a chance to meet his newest cousin Cody. He loved touching the baby.

While Deon, Ucre, and their kids were in town for Robe and Meridith's wedding, we had an impromptu pool party with all the grand-kids in Grandma and Papa's backyard. Some kids had swimsuits while others were just in their underwear/diapers. Everyone had a lot of fun and it was so nice to all be together.

Rocco's First Birthday

Happy First Birthday Rocco! We celebrated at a park in Mission Bay. It was a beautiful day but Rocco was a little shit and cried for most of the party because he had shots the day before.

Happy Birthday to Me
