Making A Wish

Rocco stopped to throw some pennies in the waterfall at the mall while we were out getting some shoes. I captured these precious moments of the simple joys and wonders of wishes.

Milazzo Family Dinner

Uncle Mark and Sanit came over to have dinner with us at Shadowbrook. It was Sanit's first time there. We hadn't been together in a while and it was great to see them.

Leaving for the Beach

Yep, we do this kind of beach thing often. Why not? No money needed, you get exercise, get to be in nature and have quality family time.

Busy Lizzy and Rocco

We took Lizzy home with us for a few hours. She had fun following Rocco around the house and getting special love. This girl has some energy and she loves to give Rocco kisses.

Special Plate for the Big 5 Year Old

Rocco enjoying his dinner on the special plate and getting to watch cartoons at the same time. You are so very special!

The BIG 5!

Rocco had a great birthday party at the blowing ally. The kids bowled, played video games and ate delicious homemade cake if I don't say so myself.

I found a healthy chocolate cake recipe and an even more delicious whipped cream frosting to top it off. Rocco and Grandma made helped me make the cake. Like I have said before, my mom always made my cakes and I love keep it a tradition for Rocco's birthdays.

Rocco loved his die-cast gun, aircraft carrier and his first steam train engine. It has been the best 5 years with Rocco. I have enjoyed watching him grow into a great kid. He is so helpful, thoughtful, funny, smart, handsome and all around wonderful!

Pudding Face

A little mess never hurt anyone. And putting pudding all over your face only made a little mess and a lot of smiles. Well worth it.

The last picture is Rocco riding in his spaceship around the house.
