Tiger Faces

Rocco had his face painted by the art teacher at my school. Thanks Tamara. He loved it. We were at a book fair for my school which was sponsored by Barnes and Noble. Tamara was there painting faces.


This is Rocco with his face painted by Rocco. I found him in the bathroom, looking in the mirror, with a navy blue marker. Thank goodness it was washable. All I could do was laugh because he said he was painting it like his tiger face.

Rocco's 3rd Birthday Party

Rocco had his third birthday party at a place called Monkey Bizness. He had such a good time. He had friends from school and the neighborhood. His favorite part was the bouncy castle and the big slide. Jim was in charge and he did an amazing job.

Four Mile Historic Park

We went to Four Mile Historic Park for the third year in a row. I love our traditon. This year we picked out three pumpkins, had old fashioned rootbeer, and kettle corn popcorn. Rocco rode in the horse and buggy and played with the wheel. Oh, he also loved the chickens.

I think we bought this pumpkin.

He collected every little green pumpkin. He only got to take one home.

Jim had fun this year.

Clucking at the chickens

Hmmm. How am I going to get up there?

We love each other so much

Here is a sneak preview of Rocco's future career and his Halloween costume.

September 2009

This September, we have spent a lot of our extra time at home. Rocco loves to play with his Dad and friends outside in the courtyard. He also has had an interest in cooking. He is a Biviano boy!

Sitting with my picture

My picture of a sun, it even has rays! I know it is hard to see. The rays are blue. The sun has two white eyes.

Camping 2009

We went camping near Salida, Colorado. The campsite was called Hecla Junction. We had a blast. Rocco was wonderful and enjoyed every minute. If you asked him, "What is your favorite part about camping?" He would reply, "Go Fishing!"

Every kid deserves a strawberry milkshake on the first night of camping.

Waking up! It was cold.

Making breakfast burritos with Dad

Rocco wore his backpack the whole time he fished. Just like his dad.

Fishing, still the first day

Saturday night!

Playing Outside

Rocco and I have so much fun playing outside! I think we go out in the front courtyard 30 times a day. He loves to play every sport. His new favorites are tennis and lacrosse. He also just got a new scooter. He rides it to the mailbox and back. I will miss being home with him.

Check out my elbow pads. He had to have all the gear.

So serious on the first day. Now he cruises so fast.

Action shot!

My new lacrosse stick!

Shooting hoops!

Denver Zoo

We went to the zoo on Friday. Rocco wanted to wear his gorilla shirt and safari hat. He only rode in the stroller once. He walked the rest of the way. He was very grown up on this trip to the zoo.

Rocco was very interested in the map.

Of course I wanted to play on the drums.

Rocco counted the camels, "One, Two, Three, Four"

Look for the tiger in the background.
