Soccer Star

Zack had his first soccer game on Sadie's birthday. Despite the cold and drizzle, it was super fun to watch! The field is bigger this year than it was last year and those boys ran HARD. But they loved it and there were virtually no complaints, yay!

Rocky and Jessica's Wedding

Phew! All these crazy weddings this summer have wiped me out in the blogging area! I can't seem to keep on top of them and post them fast enough! I am now ready to tackle the last one, as my mom is eagerly awaiting the pictures!

Tony's cousin, Jessica, lives and works on a ranch just outside of Medford, OR. While living there, she met a really great guy named Rocky. They fell in love and were married on September 11! We drove down for the last of the family festivities and had a blast!
This is the ranch when you first drive in. The place was AMAZING!


The ranch is right on the Rogue River, and they got married right alongside it.

Me and my boys

Brianne and Sadie

Sadie, Drew and Mom (I am making up for the lack of pictures of me over the last few years!)

Mike, Kim and Brianne

Rick and Karan and their technology!

It was a beautiful day!

Rocky arrived at his wedding in a fishing boat on the river. :)

Drew nice and comfy in Papa's arms.

Joe (Jessica's dad) talking about the unity sand that they did. Pretty cool!

The girls. (Jessica's sister, Brittney is on the far right)

Husband and Wife!!


This was AFTER massive amounts of tri-tip was taken off the grill. Oh YUM!!

The boys entertained themselves with rocks, in true boy fashion!

SO CUTE!

Having some wedding fun!


The only three blonds in our VERY Italian family - Brianne, Jessica and Sadie!

The garter fetch. It involved a jack and one of those rolling things to get under a car! Too funny.

The bouquet toss. Sadie tried but once again was outplayed by the tall girls. Poor thing.

Jess and Drew

Another Daddy/Daughter dance!

We are so very blessed to have a truly wonderful family. And this summer was just awesome being able to see all of them 3 times within two short months! Talk about family bonding. :)

A Small Birthday Celebration

Since Sadie got a HUGE birthday gift of a trip to California, we told her she wouldn't be having anything big on her actual birthday. So on Friday, her two friends, Emma and Lizzie, came home from school with her. I took them to a ceramic painting place where they had a blast.

Sadie and her horses

Lizzie did horses too!

Then we picked up donuts at Krispy Kreme and Little Caesar's Pizza and headed back to our house for dinner.


Gift time!!




"Happy Birthday to you..."

Then it was time for the girls to settle down and watch Camp Rock 2! Of course the boys watched too. :)

Here's the Birthday Girl the next morning on her actual birthday!

I still can't believe my Sadie Girl is 10!!
