May 23, 2008

Justin was baptized at St. Mel's Catholic Church in Norco. It was a beautiful day. All of our family and friends were there to witness the blessed occasion. Well, not all..since my East Coast family wasn't able to make it.

Justin's God Parents are Rich Chavez and Annamaria Garufi.

Rich is Jeremy's older brother. Some of you might have met him at our wedding. He is quite the comedian. When Justin was born he told us he wanted to be a Mexican and Italian Uncle...so we call him TioZio.

Most of you all know Annamaria (Moo)...her and her family have been in our lives for over 30 years. Moo is a great best friend. She also watches Justin on occasion. He always smiles when Aunt Moo is around.

We are very lucky to have so many people who love Justin.

After the baptism we all headed up to Nonno & Me'Me's house for a fun party!

Justin is going to be a pro by the time it comes to his first birthday...he knows exactly what to do when he see's cake...haha.

Justin Scott ~ October 08' - May 09'

Justin came into our lives on October 6, 2008.

He has celebrated many holidays already. Here is just a look back at the ones that have past.

Halloween 08' ~ Justin was only 3 weeks old and we took him to a pumpkin patch.

Thanksgiving 08' ~ We celebrated Thanksgiving at Nonno & Me'Me's house.

Tata & Nana (Jeremy's parents) also joined us.

Christmas 09' ~ Before we knew it Christmas had arrived. Tradition followed and we had Christmas Eve at our house. It was a great party, although Justin was not in the mood to party and went to bed very early that night. Christmas Day was spent at Nonno & Me'Me's house and Justin was of course spoiled by everyone. His Tata & Nana joined us at the Coco's house and nothing could have made the day better. Anthony was home from the Army, Pep & his new fiance' Kimberlee were in lala land from the announcement of their engagement and Justin was the gleam in every ones eye!

The New Year came and went and Justin slept right through it. Lucky Mommy & Daddy had some adult time with the neighbors. It was a great night!

Valentines 09' ~ Our neighbors, the Radici's, had a little Valentine's Party for the kids on our block. It was so cute. Justin received his first Valentine.

St. Patrick's Day 09' ~ Ok, so we aren't Irish...but it was just another reason to dress him up in a cute outfit!

Easter 09' ~ We spent Easter at our house with both of our families. Even Tio Rich & Auntie Dawn and the girls were over. The kids enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and so did the adults. Justin was spoiled as usual.
Thanks to Auntie Jo-Ann & Uncle Mike for the wonderful Easter goodies they sent Justin...here he is in the bib they sent him.


Mother's Day 09' ~ My very first Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day. We had brunch at Trilogy Golf Club. The whole family was there. After that I got to use the gift certificate Justin had given me for Mother's Day and went and got a manicure & pedicure with Kasey & Patty. A very relaxing day it was!!

This Mother's Day was also a day to show my Mom how much I appreciate her. For those of you that don't know, my Mom has been Justin's full-time baby sitter since I went back to work. She is absolutely amazing! Most days she watches him at our house and sometimes he goes up to her house. My Mom has helped us out more than I could even imagine to try to explain. She makes dinner, does laundry and just helps me in anyway she can. Jeremy & I always say we don't know what we would do with out her. I am very blessed to have her be able to spend so much time with Justin. He LOVES his Me'Me'!!

Those are the holidays that have past. We have truly enjoyed all of them as a family. There will be many more happy memories to come.

Reminising...

I will try to go back a few months & remember all the fun things we have been doing. After this I will be updating at the end of each month with pictures and little tid bits of information about the Thunderburks!

A New Day Has Come...

I have always wondered about these things. My friend Kasey Radici has officially sucked me into the 'blogging' world. This is the perfect outlet for me since I am already on a computer all day long. This way all of our family and friends can be up to date with what we are up to. With having the majority of my family on the East Coast this will be a perfect way to connect us. So thank you to Kasey! :)
