Mexico

Tony and I went to Cancun for 5 days and 4 nights in February and we had a wonderful time. We ate, drank and read by the pool. We went out at night and slept in and were accountable to no one; the perfect vacation.

Yummy pasta with Pascuzzi spaghetti sauce, carrots and dip, and Dora cake and cupcakes.

Izzy and her friends had fun playing on our merry-go-round, sledding, and playing red-light-green-light in the yard.

Here are some of the birthday kids playing on Izzy and Vinny's new bunk beds.

Izzy's 4th Birthday

My little girl is 4 years old now after celebrating her 4th birthday on February 29th. We had a big party with all her friends. Dora was the theme and it was a blizzard for most of the state but we escaped with only a couple of inches that day which made for great outdoor fun. We had play time, dinner, cake and presents.

Winter Walking

Since we have had a mild winter with only a few days too cold to walk. Oliver and Louis are lucky because I get done with school an hour early everyday so we have time to walk. Here they are on a cold day getting ready to head out. I think I only had 1 day that my eyelashes froze shut and it was 5 above. Oliver needs new boots for next year.

We spent Christmas Day in Fosston with my family and the kids had a blast.

Izzy is always chasing after Vinny trying to tell him what to do.

Busy Winter

Since I have been working on another graduate degree I have had very little "free" time, especially on the Internet since my school work is all online. I have neglected the blog. I will try to be better this spring about doing a couple of posts a month so everyone can see how the kids are doing.

We have had a lot happening around the Pascuzzi house this winter. Vinny moved from a crib to a toddler bed over Christmas break and most recently Tony installed bunk beds in February and built them some cool stairs and shelves. We have a toy room and a bedroom now and it seems to be working great. Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas.
