Vinny's First Tattoo

Cousin Wess loves getting fake tattoos and during one of his recent tattoo applications, we (me and my sister Kenna) thought that it would be funny to put a tattoo on Vinny.  Kenna picked the "roughest" tattoo for him and we put it on his leg.  It was super cute but Mike didn't think it was very funny.  Luckily for us all, its not permanent.

Day at the beach

It was such a beautiful day so we took our two boys plus cousins Jadon and Wess to the beach. The boys were crazy but had such a great time. They loved having a sand throwing battle with Mike. All returned to their towels with sand everywhere. Vinny stayed primarily in the shade but was definitely a beach babe! My sister Kenna joined in on the fun a little late after getting off work.We had so much fun and need to plan another trip to the beach soon.

Easter 2012

Along with the baby blessings, we celebrated Easter by having an Easter Egg hunt and brunch at Robe and Meridith's house. With all the candy and cousins, Rocco was in heaven! For dinner, we went to Dale and Renee's house and had a delicious dinner made by Renee and enjoyed some Tricoli time. It was a wonderful day and we are so grateful for all the love and support our family provides us.

Vinny's Blessing

On Easter Sunday we had Vinny blessed into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was a great way to celebrate Easter. Cousin Brighton (born 26 days after Vinny) was also blessed.

Rocco did not want to waste any time taking pictures, this is the best one.

We booted Rocco and got a cute picture without him.

"Hey Vinny, we got blessed today now we can relax and look cute"

Just call me Smiley

Someone has learned to smile and it is absolutely adorable. He is going to break a lot of hearts with that smile.

Cousin's Sleepover with Aunt Kenna

My sister Kenna is amazing but crazy! She invited Rocco (2), Wess (3), and Jadon (8) to have a cousin's sleepover with her. These boys LOVE each other and were so excited to be able to hang out all night together. They played, got treats, and watched the Muppet Movie. It was a great night

everyone picked their spot

These two are best buds

All smiles in the morning

Cheese Ball

Rocco is such a crazy kid these days. Not only does he talk none stop but he is always so smiley. We went to Old Navy the other day and this hat is the one thing he picked out.

Rocco's Second Birthday

Happy 2nd birthday Rocco! He is getting so big and talking up a storm. We have been so busy with our growing family that we didnt have a lot of time to plan a party so we instead opted for a small family BBQ instead to celebrate his birthday. It was a great birthday and like always Rocco is more interested in playing with his cousin Wess than opening presents.

Welcome Vinny

On Jan 29, 2012 at about noon we welcomed out second teeny into the world- Vincenzo (Vinny) Andrew Tricoli was born. It was a long labor and in the end I had to have a c-section but he is finally here! He was 4 lbs 15 ounces, and about 18.5 inches long. He is healthy and we are so happy!

My baby shower for Vinny

My sister in law Meridith was so gracious and threw a luncheon to celebrate Vinny's upcoming arrival. The day ended up being a little crazy because I spent the morning at the hospital thinking I was going into labor but it ended up being a false alarm. I ended up being about an hour late to my own shower, a bit emotional, tired, and in pain but once I got to the shower and was able to relax it was a great afternoon!! Thank you to all my friends and family who came out! Thanks Kenna for doing my hair and make-up on the fly and a very special thanks to Meridith for hosting it!! It was an amazing afternoon and I felt so much love!
