So handsome.

So sweet!

Play date with Kira...

We went to the Hart's house for a play date.

Cute Kira.

Kira was laughing...simply adorable.

Kira got a bicycle for her birthday.

After riding his bike Dimitri wanted to ride Kira's. He loved her bike!

When you care about someone you always want to make sure that safety comes first.

Time to play on the slides.

Then it was time for a little treat.

Thank you to the Hart Family for having us over.

Thank you...

As you know things have been a little crazy in our world right now, but I received this from a friend of mine who reminded me that I am doing the best and that is all I can do. And one day my children will know how much I love them. So thank you! I am lucky to have two amazing boys who will always be a part of me!


A Perfect Mother
by Nicola Steel

Since the moment I entered this world,
You have cared for me like no other.
There is only one word to describe you,
That is in every way a perfect Mother.

In the years you have watched me grow
So many memories we can now replay.
You've been there to love and protect me,
From my birth to this very day.

When there's a cloud covering my path,
Or a problem I am about to face.
You'll be the one wipe away my tears,
And put everything back in its place.

Your warm touch is one of a kind,
So gentle to send me to sleep.
Your voice is one of an angels,
A beauty only you deserve to keep.

The way you always make me smile
And the way you play with my hair.
When I need to talk, you'll put me first,
So I know how much you care.

The sun in you're heart will continue,
To shine in the future in all you do.
The most special person in my life by far,
I'm happy to say is you!

We have a situation....

We have been searching for Dimitri's Halloween costume. He wanted to be a character from Battle Force 5 but once he saw this costume he was SOLD! Dimitri LOVES his costume and wants to wear it everywhere we go! Dimitri is very excited to be a police man for Halloween this year.

Very handsome!

Exhausted...

I wake up very early in the morning, which means Dimitri has to get up with me. I put him to bed at 8:00 PM and he is up by 5:30 AM. Dimitri does not take a nap at day care which makes for a long day but he never complains. Tonight he fell asleep while we were coming home from running errands. I woke him up and he walked into the house walked downstairs. I thought he went down to play with his toys but this is what I saw when I went to check on him. He went straight to bed. My sweet little boy!

A perfect angel!

The Circus is in town...

Last night we went to the Circus.

Dimitri and Zachary both picked out a motorcycle souvenir.

Zachary's smile is priceless.

I don't think Bella like her Mommy giving Zachary attention.

Yep...still not happy but Zachary was.

My sweet boys...look how excited Zachary was.

Zachary was clapping most of the night!

The Tiger Show was interesting. We all thought for sure that the tiger was going to eat the trainer. I have to say it was intense for a few moments.

Me, my boys and maybe a few boogers.

The boys both loved the motorcycles.

Look at that concentration.

Two thirsty little boy equals a $10.00 lemonade.

Mommy and Bella.

Zachary was so cute, he kept stealing all of Bella's yogurt bites.

Bella was very happy.

Dimitri and his new motorcycle.

Zachary being silly.

Looking at the Super Hero characters.

The elephants were a family favorite.

So cute!

We had a great night at the Circus.
