gino’s celebration cont..

22 May

so my nephew’s first communion was last weekend, but we didn’t get to celebrate.

so this weekend, that exactly what we did.

my parents hosted a group of friends and family at their house, and here’s how it turned out!

there’s the little man we’re honoring!

mother’s

16 May

so this year we hosted mother’s day at our house.

since i’m the only non-mom, not including my dog mommy duties,

i thought it would be a nice treat for all the mama’s in my family to a little day off.

i made them all some chamomile sugar body scrub for some relaxing shower time.

plus i was super excited to put some use to our brand new picnic table that we painted a couple weeks ago, bright yellow!

i was really nice to have the family all together to celebrate the reason for our existence

mom’s!!!!

that’s my mama….. isn’t she the cutest?!balsamic glazed chickenfruit pizza

here’s a little flashback to the past of my mama and i.

then and now!!

even though giuseppe’s mother couldn’t be in vegas to celebrate with us

we send her our love, all the way to italy.

we love you guys.

happy mother’s day!!!

a night of birthday’s, music and fun

14 May

saturday night we celebrated my good friend stacey’s birthday by going to see

snow patrol perform at the Cosmopolitan!

this was my first time seeing a show at this venue and i was awesome.

we were poolside, and you could just hangout while your feet took a little dip.

unfortunately my love had to work, so he couldn’t make it,

but i video’d ( yes, i made that word up) a couple songs so he could listen to them and pretend he was there.

happy birthday stacey!

a not so sunny day, made bright…

16 Apr

saturday afternoon was a bit over cast with a little nip in the air, but that didn’t stop us from having some backyard fun! i brought some life back to the yard after hitting up the nursery. i planted some fresh herbs like, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and parsley, as well as a few succulents for the patio and house. giuseppe kept the bubbs busy playing fetch and soccer.  we can’t wait for some consistent spring weather so we can have more fun days in the sun.
