Scccooorrreeee!! (10/1/2011)

Keep your eye on #7...

He 's on the move...

He's on the ball...

HE SCORES!!!

I have LOVED watching Anthony play soccer! For this only being his 2nd season, he's been doing such a great job! I especially love when he makes a goal... he's instantly overwhelmed with joy and heads directly to the coach for a hi-five! :)

Anthony- Mommy is so proud of you and I love watching you play! You have done such a great job with soccer thus far and I can't wait to see you continue to play. Keep up the awesome job, Buddy! Mommy loves you!

So much for cheering! (9/11/2011)

While AQnthony is out playing hard on the field, the girls (his sisters & cousins) should be cheering him on!

Instead, they are sitting on the sidelines painting each other's nails! NICE!


GO ANTHONY! :)

Anthony's 1st game of the Fall 2011 (9/10/2011)

Anthony's back in action... playing soccer for the Fall season!

He did great during his 1st game! Keep your eye on #7!! :)



Definite "thumbs up"! :) Looking forward to another great season!

Go team AMERICAN TIRE!! :)

Anthony's last game for the Season! (6/18/2011)

Today was Anthony's last game of the season. Wow-- I can't believe soccer season is over already! It was a good 1st season. It was so cool to see how much these little ones learned in just a few short months. I enjoyed watching them all play. :)


They had a great team! All of the boys were so nice & got along so well, and they were led by an awesome coach-- Coach Rick!


Anthony-- Mommy is SO proud of you... we are ALL so proud of you! I can't believe how much you have learned and accomplished your 1st season! I hope you are proud of yourself & your accomplishments. We have loved watching you play this season and can't wait to watch you as you continue to play. I love you, my little Soccer player!

Thanks to Aunt Sharon for being behind Anthony 100% this season... encouraging him to play, practicing with him, and making sure he (and she) was at every game. You're a great "coach" for Anthony and an awesome Aunt!



Everybody in the pool! Pool Party at Coach Rick's house after the last game... a fun time for all!



(yes-- cake by me) :)

Anthony's 1st goal! (6/4 & 6/5/2011)

This was a GREAT & memorable soccer weekend for Anthony... he scored his 1st "game" goal... and a few more after that, too! On Saturday, he kicked in his 1st goal and on Sunday, he fired up the net again with a few more! We were all so proud of him and he was SO proud of himself.


Hi-fives from Coach Rick after making a goal! Coach Rick is awesome! :)


There was something awesome about this Sunday game... the erntire team was there (which is rare) and they boys were kicking them in one after another! Yay for Sunday make-up games! :)


Anthony-- Congrats on making your 1st "game" goal! Everyone is so proud of you. You have been doing an awesome job all season and are doing a great job! Keep kickin' butt out there! :) I love you!

Our little Soccer Player! (4/9 & 4/10/2011)

He's all siggned up & ready to GO! :) Anthony is SO excited... he's playing Soccer for the 1st time! This weekend, we had his 1st practice and his 1st game. Yes, that seems a litle "quick", but the kids at this age are just learning the basics soccer skills and will continue to learn & grow. At this age, the want to get them used to dribbling the ball and heading for the goal.


Their 1st practice & game went well... it's too cute to watch them all running around. Anthony seems to be adapting very well and has some great skills of his own already, which I am very happy & proud about. You can do it, Buddy... go Ant, go! :)


Off to Anthony's 1st game we go... all of us in tow! We ALL have to support our little "man"! :)






During his 1st game, he even took one for the team... he collided on the field with another player and he bruised his upper cheek bone / below his eye (ouch!). He shook it off pretty quickly and got back out there to finish the game. Good job, Anto-- shakle it off, Buddy! Of the joys...

Anthony-- we are all SO proud of you! Keep kickin' butt out there... keep your eye on the prize (and the "prize" away from your face!). Mommy loves you!

All is calm... (12/16/2010)

... all is bright! A late-night moment I captured & had to share!

In the words of Julia Roberts -- "he sleeps" ... my precious little boy. I love you, Buddy!

A mohawk!? (11/2/2010)

He saw it... He wanted it... and he got it! Anthony got a mohawk! lol... he looks cute with it and he was loving life! He got quite a few compliments ("you look cool dude"... "I love your hair, Buddy!"). Even his older Italian barber loved it... and made sure he cut his hair to still be able to make a mohawk! :) Oh my little guy... love him!

Anthony "The Tool Man" Zerilli (9/4/2010)

Watch out Handy Manny... here comes Anthony "The Tool Man" Zerilli! :)
I came home today to find an excited little boy... Aunt Sandy brought over the Home Depot tool bench & tool set! Anthony was VERY excited and couldn't wait to show me his tools. After getting a look at him with his tool belt on, I couldn't resist, but to take pics of my little "tool man". He thought he was "the man" that afternoon... from the smiles to the strut to the looking down at his "muscles", this little manly-man had it going on!

As you can see, I even got him to pose... I'm sending it to GQ! :)





As yu can see, he didn't waste anytime using his tools to fix things around the house. Memom *prays* he grows up to be handy... we need one in the bunch!! :)

Anthony goes crabbing! (8/6/2010)

While the girls were having a Girls Night Out, Aunt Sharon took Anthony crabbing for the 1st time! As you can see, he was very excited to do this and did a great job! He must have been by a patch of baby crabs because he kept getting crabs on his line each time he threw his line in.

He was so happy & proud of himself!

Great job, Anthony!! Love you my little crabbin' man! :)
