or the next Blues Queen

While posting the previous pics, Mia slipped into her other favorite hat and grabbed her guitar to sing the blues.

Princess in the making

Here is our princess in the making in her favorite green dress and new hat that grandma got her. She just needs some glass slippers now.

This little piggie

I love when they take a moment to play together and allow me to catch a breather. Even if its just for a minute...I'll take it. This is a game that Seth likes to play with me and then of course in doing so, twenty other toes usually show up to play.

Who sleeps like that?

I can remember early on in my marriage, I used to wonder how the heck does he actually sleep like that? My husband will always put his hands behind his head, which usually meant an elbow to my head. Well, I have since then learned that it must be genetic. I have seen both of my boys asleep this way already.

Aiden's best friend

Of the three, Aiden is my pet lover. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed, he is constantly playing with Marvin. He has this cute fake whistle he does to call Marvin to him. We really lucked out with getting Marvin. Marvin didn't know what he was getting into when I found him at the SPCA. I still miss having a bigger dog, but he is so good to my three little guys. I am completely sold on the poodle breed. I really love the fact that he does not shed! Aiden loves when Marvin is chasing his tail. He will laugh so hard, and say, " Crazy Marvin!"

My birthday

So, today is my birthday. I was hoping for a quiet afternoon, kids all asleep for a longer than normal nap. No such luck, I think they are just too excited about the fact that their mommy is turning 33. NOT! I will say that I think this year will be awesome and challenging. I had the best time away this past weekend and look around at my home and family and feel more blessed than ever.


I asked Seth if he wanted to nap, and this was the look I got.


My bets are on no.

Days in the Life of Mia

Mia had a bad slip and fall in our kitchen which had her hurting all afternoon a couple of days ago. Marvin, the wonder dog, knew she didnt feel quite so good and kept her company. Later, to help cheer her up, Jacob watched one of his favorite movies with her in his room, The Wizard of Oz.

Daddy's little girl

Mia sat with daddy and was in complete awe the whole night. I had to wrestle Aiden to stay still.

Mia loved Dorothy, Aiden loved Wags

Anthony's favorite part of the concert was just the fact that they really seemed to be enjoying themselves on stage. We both really liked the drum line part.

A good night out

Ok, there will be many post about last night from me. I know it was for the kids, but I think I benefited the most out of everyone. I had a great night out. This are the events I dreamed about doing with my kids. I went to bed so happy from a fun filled night with Anthony and the kiddos. It is hard to not have Seth there to share it with, but at the same time I know he would not enjoy all the people, noise and lights. Instead I spend my time with him at home dancing to the Wiggles music.
