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!!!!

iPhone moments!

They may be totally random but isn't that the best part of going through your camera phone pics?!? So much fun to recap the days and moments that have passed...

Slip n sliding FUN! Why is a slip n slide always worth the $19.99 each summer?

FUN at Home Depot...I'm telling you we make fun anywhere that we go!

I caught Justin "painting" Molly! Thankfully it was WITHOUT paint..only the brush! Whew!!

LOTS of backyard FUN lately! Family games of soccer, baseball and football! The boys usually beat Brandon and I but its fun trying :-)

And we love bedtime when Daddy's home...we all pile into our bed, listen to songs on the iTouch and giggle watching each others dance moves, or lack there of!!!

...to an end!

Isn't that the worst part of vacations! THE END :-( but it was a fun first trip with MANY more to come!!!!

Off to a FUN start...

We are enjoying our first trip in the new travel trailer...why did I never go camping as a child? SO much fun! Ready to grill, watch a movie at the outdoor theatre and get in a great run through the campgrounds in the morning :-) have a happy weekend!!!!
