Santiago's first teepee

So we are in maryville for new years. Sandra, sofia, and I went to the mall today to do a little shopping with gift cards Sandra got for Christmas. While at the mall Sandra spotted a maternity store and needed some new tops. While there we bought a pee pee teepee for Santiago. In case you didn't hear were having a boy and we named him Santiago. So I have mentioned it'll be different having a "firehose" to deal with when changing diapers. Christmas Eve Omar mentioned they make these pee pee teepee's. I had never heard of them before, and when I saw them at the maternity store we had to get them. The ones we bought have baseball bats and baseballs on them. Can't wait to try them out on Santi. Have a Happy New Year everybody!!!

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!! I'm sure many of you know already, but just in case: we are expecting a baby BOY in May. His name will be Santiago.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year

Love- Vince, Sandra, Sofia, Santiago, and Louie

would you kiss a frog?

We went to see Disney's The Princess and The Frog. Sofia's favorite part was and I quote: "when the frog said, "I suppose you want a kiss"" and the best part is that she says it with an accent. It was cute. We went on free popcorn night (bring your own bucket night) and had a coupon too!! The movie is fun, but there are some scary parts, but we really liked the message:

Life is not about what you want, but what you need.

And what it boils down to is that all you need is Love.

Princesses on Ice...

Here are some pictures from the Princesses on Ice in the quad cities on sunday. We had an awesome time. Besides the show we met up with Omar, did some shopping and had lunch at Famous Dave's. It was a good day for the Iadipaolo clan. A good time was had by all.

Snow white and the dwarfs pictured above was Vince's favorite part. Sofia loved when sleepy laid on the table and went to sleep.

Cinderella in her carriage duh!

Angels and Princesses

So, the Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2009 was AMAZING. My brother even texted me to see if I was watching it. DUH! There were different themes throughout the night. My favorite set of wings this year, was the image below. Her outfit was cute, but the wings were awesome and I felt that they could be recreated with some YouTube how to make balloon animals help. I felt that the stocking hat was unnecessary, but the wings... gotta love the wings.

The most incredible thing of the night was when Heidi Klum, who just 6 weeks before the show gave birth to her fourth child, walked out on the run way looking FLAWLESS. Wow, if only most of us moms out there could jump back into that kind of a body only after 6 weeks!! She is just Superwoman. Honestly, who doesn't love Heidi Klum? She's just a wonderful person.

Last but not least, today's big news.... WE ARE GOING TO SEE PRINCESSES ON ICE in the Quad Cities. Woo-hoo!!! Sofia and I are both very excited and looking forward to all the "princesssouveniers" that we could "possibly" take home. I told Vince that he's outnumbered, and let's hope that there are some reasonable things for us :)

Pregnancy mood swings... very funny

So, tonight I was all excited that we were going to watch Prep & Landing, a new animated feature by Disney about the story of the elves and how they get Christmas ready for Santa. We had been watching the promos for about a week and I was so excited!! Around 6pm, Vince gave me some devastating news... well maybe not devastating... anyway, he said that President Obama would be giving his Presidential Address on the strategy for the Afghanistan war.

WHAT?!?

In other words, NO PREP & LANDING?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?

I was slightly perturbed and decided to get online and check email, facebook, and mess around on the Internet some for kicks and to let off some steam. I even watched a 45 second preview clip of the animated feature to get me pumped for NEXT WEEK's premiere on Tuesday night.

After about 20 minutes or so, Vince yelled from downstairs... "Hey, Sandra the Victoria Secret Fashion Show is on tonight"

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE THAT SHOW!? LAST year I even put up some pictures of my favorite angels during the show on the blog. Well, Vince was not arguing that we should watch it. What guy is going to say no to one hour of lingerie?

So, yes, I don't get to see Prep & Landing.... BUT I will be watching the fashion show instead and it's going to be awesome!!!!
