Jump High - Aim High

I love watching Rocco play outside. His new thing is to climb the side fence. He likes to sit on it and just hang or jump off it. I remember the day that Rocco would jump and those little feet would barely get off the ground. But look at him now.. jump high and aim high son.

Time with Mimi

Rocco is a lucky boy because his Mimi picks him up every Wednesday which are 1/2 school days. Here is a picture she snapped of him eating his lunch at the park with her. 

Thank you for your help Mimi. Rocco loves spending time with you. 

Mission Complete - Build the AT-AT Walker

Well it only took me a total of 5 hours to put together 1,137 lego pieces to build the AT-AT Walker for  Rocco. Jared is over putting these together because when he builds them, they fall apart in the process because he pushes to hard. So this ended up being my project.

Rocco watched reviews on it and they said this one stays together better than any other lego set. So far there has just been a few pieces that keep falling off. But over all it stays together better than some of the small sets he has.

Watching him play with it is worth all the time spent building it. Bring on the legos!

Just Another Wednesday

These pictures of Wednesday crack me up. It was a rainy day and she was looking out the window wishing she could go on a walk.

Rocco Turns 6

Well it happened, you need more than one hand to count Rocco's age. I just love this kid so much. It has been such a joy watching him grow into a young man. For the last couple of years I have decorated his door way with fun stuff to run through. It is really fun to watch him wake up to it. We made chocolate covered pretzels for his class, and Dad and I came with balloons when we picked him up. That smile alone made my day.

Dad got Rocco another BB gun with a scope. It is all about the scope. He is really safe about the gun and follows all the rules. I am all over him about the rules.

We had a great birthday party with mostly neighborhood boys. It will be fun to watch them all grow up together. Rocco is the youngest, so I sure  hope they don't forget about him when they are in middle school next year.

I told him he is pretty lucky that 10 and 11 year olds like to come over and play with him. He said why am I lucky? To him there is no difference because he pretty much is already 10 in his mind.

For the party we took all the kids to see the new Sponge Bob Square Pants movie. (the one cartoon I held out for ever to watch) They had a blast. Jared and I tried to get the theater to sing the theme song at the end by singing it out loud ourselves, but nobody joined in with us. Oh well, we sang the whole thing anyway. We then came back to the house for a nurf war and cake.

100 Days of School

Rocco (and us) had to make a poster for 100 days of school. We had to put 100 things on the poster. What better than Army men from the dollar store.
