Holy October Man!

Can you believe it is October?? I don't know where the months go. I feel like just yesterday I was on summer vacation! I don't think I ever posted pics from Labor Day weekend! So I will start with that! We went to Cocoa Beach for the weekend with our friends Janice and Jason and their lil guy Cooper. We had so much fun and the weather was GORGEOUS!


After we got back from the beach, we went to a Labor Day party at our friends Michelle and Jimmy's house, who are neighbors of ours. Their son, Logan, is one of Isaiah's besties. We had a blast, and the kids had an awesome (wet) time!!!

Now, I am looking forward to Halloween! as I posted earlier, Isaiah is going to be Iron Man for Halloween. Too funny, considering I figured he would change his lil 3 year old mind about 1,567,999 times before Halloween even arrived. Nope. It is October 18, and he is still strong on Iron Man. So, Iron Man for the I Man it is.

We have had an eventful past couple of weeks. Paul and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary! Can you believe it? I can hardly believe we are not newlyweds anymore. In fact, we are FAR from newlyweds! We had an awesome night, our wonderful friends (and neighbors) Barbara and Jonathan babysat for Isaiah, while we went out to dinner. It was our first dinner out since about June or July. Crazy, I know! We went to Texas Cattle Company, which if you are not local, we NEED to take you to when you are visiting! It is amazing, and as always we had a delicious steak dinner.

Anyways...so, Isaiah had fun playing across the street (his best friend forever Anyssia lives their), and we had a nice night out. Guess what my present was????????? The jewelry armoire I have been eyeballing! I have a (teeny) obsession with jewelry...and I really needed more space for it. Our dresser was getting CRAMMED and it was getting quite annoying for both of us. So, it is a beautiful (and very organizational) new piece to our bedroom. Thanks babe! :-)

Welcome Fall...I think??

Today is the first day of Fall. I have already brought out the fall decorations at my house, and this weekend the Halloween decorations are going up. I don't care that it is still September, and I don't care that it is still 90 degrees outside. YESSSS, you read me right. Still hot outside!!!! But, I do have to say that it has been significantly cooler in the morning and in the evenings, so it reminds me once again of why I love living in Florida!!!!

We have been ready for Halloween since August. Isaiah had decided what costume he wanted, and has not budged one bit with his decision. He has decided he would like to be Iron Man. Yes, you heard right...and he has never even seen the movie or even seen anything with him in it. I guess he sees the toys in the store and thinks that they are cool. So, Iron Man it is. Thank GOD there are lots of costumes for this, and I have already gone ahead and bought his, courtesy of Wal-mart! Pretty cute huh? He thinks he is a real superhero when he wears it. Too cute.

Hello HOTNESS!

Well, it is September 13, and it is still a MILLION Degrees here in Florida. I really shouldn't complain, because I will be happy when the weather cools off in the winter and we still have sandals on! I had such an exciting weekend, my cousin Sarah came to visit me and we had so much fun together! She is like a sister to me, and I was so excited to get to do things with her!!! We went to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and got to do the whole Harry Potter thing!x

I am also really excited to show you our new couch! We just had our floors done in our house, and we finally bit the bullet and bought a new couch! The old one had broken springs and was getting really worn!

SUMMER FUN!

Yay for summer! We have been on summer vacation for a month now, and it seems like just yesterday I was leaving Davenport School of the Arts eager to begin my summer break! A lot has occurred in the Nigro household, and we are eager to share it with you all! Let me see...we went on a Disney vacation from June 11-15. It was AWESOME! We spent two nites at the Doubletree Resort, and two nights at a cabin at Disney's Fort Wilderness. It was a GREAT time. Then of course, we went up to NH and visited with my mom and stepdad. We made the typical rounds...drove to NY to visit family, and then spent a night in Mass with my inlaws. We finally returned home on June 29th, and my mom has been in town visiting since July 1. We have been doing a ton of day trips, and I have been enjoying spending time with Isaiah since being out of school.

Phew! What a busy month!

Getting dunked!

Isaiah's 3rd birthday

It seems like there is no way that it could already be February 15! Happy Anniversary to my wonderful aunt and uncle, Ed and Pam! I remember when they were married, and I thought it was so cool that they got married the day after Valentine's Day. I was in fifth grade, when they got married.

Isaiah turned 3 on January 27. THREE!!!! Where did the time go, and where did my teeny tiny little baby go? He is growing so fast, and amazes us everyday. This morning, I dropped him off at daycare and asked him what day it was. His reply? MONDAY MOMMY! What a smartie pants!

We had a very busy January. We had tons of family visit from out of town. Isaiah celebrated his birthday, and then we had him baptized on January 30. He was baptized in the same church and by the same wonderful priest that married Paul and I! That was very special for us.

And the beat goes on...

Who knew January would fly by so quick? It is already the middle of the month! we have been super busy, and here is another week in the life of a project 365'er!


January 11, 2010...Isaiah throwing one of his infamous tantrums...Isaiah has been having difficulty at his new school behavior wise, so we are trying to work on that!

January 12, 2010. YUCCCCCK! I took this pic just to prove to my darling husband that yes, the cat litter needs to be changed REGULARLY, and it is his job...NOT MINE! :-)

January 13, 2010...first off, I know I don't look very impressed in this pic...but I wanted to make sure I wished my wonderful cousin SARAH a happy SWEET SIXTEEN (god, where did the time go????) and also a wonderful Happy Birthday to my other wonderful cuz MEGHAN (when did we get so old)?!

January 14, 2010...in just one month we will be celebrating Valentine's Day!!! This is how I have decorated so far!

January 15, 2010. Isaiah is continuing to have difficulty in school, so this is how we will work on that...with a wonderful behavior chart!

Two pics from this wonderful weekend! January 16, 2010 we received Isaiah's OFFICIAL birth certificate in the mail!!! So exciting! Then a pic that I want everyone to remember my wonderful Gramp by, sent to me by my Uncle Ed. That is my pic for January 17, 2010. ENJOY!

Project 365!

Happy New Year!!! One of the goals I have for this year is to document our lives in snapshots. So, the plan is to take a picture every single day! Here it goes so far...
This is Paul on New Year's Day. He was in our office on the computer, and we were trying to figure out what to do with Isaiah on Saturday...we were thinking Sea World, and ended up at...

The park! Isaiah loves this park! It is huge, and has SO many things to do! So, this was January 2, 2010! Playing at the park! It was very cold out too! We were in the midst of a FREEEEEEZING week and I am surprised we were not bundled up more!

January 3, 2010...getting ready for bed. I could not get Isaiah to stand still!!! So, the result is a blurry picture! It was freeeezing out still, so he is in footie pajamas! I love them!

January 4, 2010. Isaiah saying hello to daddy after daddy finally returns home from work!!

January 5, 2010...Lexie with a guilty look on her face! After day two of tearing into our trash while we were at work! Of course, I am sure she had an accomplice...named BELLA!!!!

January 6, 2010. My beautiful cat Baby. Is she really giving me the side eye?!

January 7, 2010. I look really impressed. In my defense, it is Thursday evening and I am pooped from the long week. We said a picture a day right?

January 8, 2010. Another project for Isaiah's room. I painted the shelf red and blue to match his room.

January 9, 2010. It was SLEETING at our house. I tried to get a pic, but it is hard to see! BUT IT WAS!!!!!!

January 10, 2010. More projects for Isaiah's room! Finally, got his curtains hung!
