Happy 1 year Anniversary Dylan & Traci

(November 2010)

Dylan and Traci have been dating since October 16, 2010. When Traci and Dylan first started dating I was not sure if she knew his name. One evening we were sitting down for dinner and I called Dylan and Traci said, "No, it's Piccoli."

We have fallen in love with Traci this last year and are so glad her and Dylan found eachother.

Family Updates

On June 17th Cherish got her results from her EMT Certification test and she passed. My daughter is officially an EMT. We are very proud of her.


In July Rick finished school and graduated with his Associates in Psychology. Very exciting and again we are all so very proud to announce this accomplishment.

Family and friends who joined us in Rick's graduation ceremony.

In August Dylan started is Senior year of high school. Dylan will be graduating after one semester, so his high school years will be over in December 2011.
Tony started his junior year of high school and plans to be a senior for the full year. No early graduation for him. He feels he would miss most of the fun stuff during his senior year.

August 19th, Rick and I celebrated our 17 year anniversary. We are getting closer and closer to 50 years.
Cherish started school in August for her associates in business. Two more years of school and we will see what her next adventure is.
This is all for now but more news to come soon.

Last day of Spring Break 2011

Reed Park Zoo is located in Tucson, AZ. I love this zoo and wish it was closer. The animals are easier to see than at the Phoenix zoo.

We had such a good time as always.

Rick's 40th Birthday Party

Walking into Rick's party, he thought he was there to play cards.

We made him change into his party outfit.

Party favors, gold bars filled with mints and poker chip key chains.

The birthday guys. We celebrated Rick's birthday the night before his actual birthday. But on this day it was our friend Wade's birthday. Of course we got him a cake and sang Happy Birthday to the two of them. There were many surprises going around the night of the party.

Time to cut the cake.

Chrissy was the winner of the second game of cards.

Dwight was our first winner.

Playing left, right, center. Had a blast.

Chuck, Aubrey, Me, and Rick

We had a great time at the party and after three months of planning we were able to surprise Rick. At times it was hard to not slip and let any clues out about the party but when the night came we threw a very successful surprise party that I hope Rick will remember.
