Hit a Mile stone....

As some of you know Amelia started with applesauce already. But she is now sitting up like a big girl in her high-chair =) AND ALSO had a whole container of carrots. YES the whole thing. (I think she will be like mommy and not have a problem liking food)


I think we started earlier with Amelia and not with Josh because with him, we didn't know exactly what he could handle and when he was ready to do certain things. It seems that we are starting things earlier with Amelia but in actuality, it is because we are "pro's" now at this baby raising thing. HA HA I am TOTALLY kidding there!!

Anyway, we I just wanted to share with you Amelia's mile stone.

Here is her experience: ENJOY!

"MMMMMM....What is this taste?"

"Oh my...that is really good"

"Is there more? I need more!!"

"Mommy, we definitely have to do this again"

And then there's Josh,

"Oh...yeah...eating. Been there, done that. Talk to me when you can eat a chicken nugget"

He is SUCH a big boy. I just love these kids!!!
Have a great night people!

Josh at pre-school....

Oh wait, that is Meme's house. Is that the same Meme who said "If you think I am having alot of toys in my house you are crazy. I am not running a daycare here". Can't be the same Meme ;)

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






"We don't want him to be bored when he is here"
Poor kid has nothing to play with...he has to carry all his belongings in a shopping cart

(and yes, we are working on taking away the "stinky" binky.)

Have a good day!!

Rain Rain, GO AWAY!!

It has been raining so much here in Mass. Getting a little boring and depressing sitting around the house all day. Just look at that pathetic face. He wants to get outside so bad and I wish I could take him to the park and for a nice long walk...but we have to wait. AND wait......AND WAIT!!
Oh well, we do have a few funs things we do inside as well. (I can tell you my kids have never been cleaner because it seems a bath is a good way to make time pass) HA HA!
I hope everyone else is having a little bit better weather than we have had.

Here are a few pictures from our week in the house: ENJOY!

Coming up with creative ways to draw on his magna-doodle




Joshy enjoying AMELIA'S playpen/crib....
"your a big boy, you don't fit in there!"



Watching baseball with daddy



Meme makes some YUMMY popcorn!!


And watching the rain some more...



The sun can't come soon enough. WE GOIN' CRAZY!! =0)

Time with Family

We visited Great Auntie and Uncle, Cousin Kevin and Keith. I think Josh really likes it there because there are people who love him, lots of puppies and lots of stuff to do.

Auntie bought me my first chalk



I can't wait until he gets a little older and he can go out on the tractor with cousin Kevin. (he calls him uncle Kevin) Also he will get to ride his own little quad. (uncle Kevin already bought him one) No daddy, you can't ride on it...you will have to get your own. ;0) hehehehe

Anyway, despite the cold weather and the downpour, we managed to still have a small cookout and have a great time. Amelia didn't complain so that was a good sign. She seems very happy to visit with family!!





We love you guys!

A perfect Mothers Day!!

Thanks to my husband and family, I had the best day ever. It was very relaxed. I just wish it could be like that everyday but I guess I would have nothing to look forward to like those special Holidays =)
But getting to spend the WHOLE day with Corey and the kids was so perfect. We really don't all get to hang out like that much so I think that is what made it so much more enjoyable!! I had a smile on my face from the time I woke up until I passed out from the busy, fun filled day. (I WAS a tiny bit sad because I knew that Corey would go back to being busy the very next day and we would have to wait a while to do something like that again)






A Mothers Day breakfast. I wanted all the mothers to go out together and do a brunch thing but plans could not stay straight. Next year ( I have already promised myself) will be different. No mother should have to cook on Mothers Day. It should be an unwritten rule =) I can't complain though because it was DELICIOUS!












Mothers Day dinner with Meme and Pepe. I was looking forward to seeing my mommy on Mothers day. She is absolutely, without a doubt, my bestest friend in the world!! I hope she can promise me atleast another 35 years of Mothers Days together. Our relationship has blossomed into a beautiful thing and the older we get, the more I appreciate the woman she is. I wish I could have known her (woman to woman) a LONG time ago and appreciated it. I was too busy being a bratty teenager. She is fabulous and has a heart of gold. Obviously my children can feel it too! Never change mom!! I hope my children feel this way about me when I am older and I can only hope to be HALF the great mom she was to us. She was ALWAYS THERE FOR US and still is!!!!














I wanted to go to feed the ducks or go to the zoo or something like that with my kids. So we finally decided on the zoo.
We all had fun and Josh loved it. I can't wait to take him more places this summer. We will be taking him to many more places that he is finally getting old enough to enjoy. And we can enjoy it also because he is having fun!! Amelia is still too small to even care where we go. As long as there are diapers and formula for her...she is happy =)


We passed by a few animals on the way into the zoo and OF COURSE the kitty catches his eye.



Not too sure I want to feed the BIG reindeer daddy...





Which way should we go now Josh??.......



Once daddy showed Josh how to feed the bigger animals...he had it down pat and couldn't get enough!



Time to go home.


I just wanted to thank Corey for helping make it a perfect day!! Great little gifties, great food and great company. Who could ask for anything more??!!


I love my family VERY VERY much!!!!!!!!
