Our life this week...in pictures!

Was filled with lots of cuddling, playing, bubble baths, duck feeding, more cuddling and playing...

And then it ended with Jake's baseball season coming to an end! It was an awesome season and I can't believe how much our Knights have improved in two seasons! Looking forward to moving up to Rookie league next season ;-) YIKES! My wonderful gift-flowers and a wooden cross signed by the players and coaches...I'm one proud Mom and Team Mom! I love that I'm able to be right there for all the awesome moments, help my son get ready to bat...it makes me so proud to watch the little ball player he's becoming!!! I just love that he has a smile on his face and is determined to do his best each time he steps onto that field...all of our boys do! Very cool group of players that I'm so blessed & thankful to be a part of!!

Mother's Day 2013

...I'll let the pictures capture a perfect Mother's Day brunch :-)
Lots of breakfast in bed, coffee made to order and flowers for me...so thankful for my family-my whole world!

Justin is four!!

It was a busy, fun-filled day!!! It started off with lunch at the birthday boys pick, Olive Garden! Hilarious!!
Then it was home for cake-homemade by Momma :-) and opening gifts!
Blowing out candles, making a wish and then playing his new drum set! Yes, he begged for it! And he's actually pretty good at it! Future youTube sensation?? Ha!

We even went to the neighborhood pool for a bit, then a golf cart ride and went to RedBox in their pj's and slippers for some movies and popcorn!!!
A perfect day to celebrate my baby boy turning four!!!
*his party is a pool party in a few weeks, (wanted to wait for water to warm up a bit!) so this was just family!!

Our week...

Started off with Jake testing positive for strep :-( honestly though, he never acted sick! Maybe because he doesn't know what resting means?? Ha! But good news is he's back to normal!

We stay sweaty a lot around here! Either running, playing outside, working in the yard, riding bikes...so lots of stinky pics...luckily you can't smell us :-)) whew!

We celebrated Justin's birthday today at his school! SO cute watching them sing Happy Birthday to my baby :-)

So after school we went outside and rode bikes/had running relays to celebrate my baby growing up :-(

Mangia!

When we were asked to represent Italy at my son's International Fair, I immediately knew we'd make it great! I even wore my grandma Bonka's apron...she was hopefully smiling down :-)

A few pics to recap the event! I'm a little bias but I think our country turned out the most festive and there was bite-sized PIZZA!!! 800 little squares, thanks to Pizza King!! A huge hit with the kids!! And teachers!

Time

My littlest man is turning four next week and it makes you wonder where the time goes!
I look back on pictures like this one and wonder, where are my babies? They are growing up fast but I like to think we take every moment and cherish them! We try to make the little moments stand out too and our hopes is that our boys look back and say, Wow we had a FUN childhood :-)

As for Justin turning four next week...there will be tears...LOTS of tears!!!

Ready for summer!

running club came to an end and he LOVED IT! So did Justin :-) little brother has to be involved too! 32.2 miles run for him and he said next season, he's doubling his miles!

Today, We decided with great weather we should sign jake out of school early and go to the Houston Zoo!!! Told ya we are ready for SUMMER!!!!
