BUSY..BUSY..BUSY..

Hi everyone! Well it has been a busy couple of weeks. Mother's day was first. The boys bought mommy a BEAUTIFUL necklace that says "mom" with diamonds and floats around in glass. Daddy bought mommy the double jogger she has been wanting. Then it was mommy's birthday. We went to mommom and poppop's house for dinner and Aunt Shell and Rocco bought mommy a cake and we all sang. The boys gave mommy a gift card for Payless (you know how she LOVES her shoes)! Daddy took mommy out for a nice dinner while the boys stayed with Aunt Moe and their cousin Cori Mae. Mommy is not used to taking her time eating in a quiet restaurant! Here are some pictures from last time we were at mommom and poppop's with Rocco.





Drew LOVES his older cousin!



And finally it was Drew's 2nd Birthday!!!!! He is becoming such a big boy we can hardly believe he is 2! Everyday he learns something new (sometimes much to mommy and daddy's dismay depending on what he says)! He is so funny and entertaining. He got to wear a special birthday crown for the day in school and he made sure everyone knew it was his birthday and he was 2! Aunt Mary Lilliston bought him a new BIGGER big boy quad. Now he can get next door to her house in less time. He really thinks he is hot stuff. Daddy is going to take some pictures this weekend and we will post them. We are getting ready for his birthday party next week. He is soooo excited! Mommy and Daddy took some time off of work next week so we can do stuff around the yard and have some fun.

Mommy and Daddy took the boys to Lowe's the other night and Drew drove his brother around the store with sound effects and everything.



Drew and Donnie got a visit from their cousins Maggie, Sophie and Rosie. Drew was busy on his Quad but stopped to get a quick picture with the girls.



Here is a picture of Drew I just HAD to post. He has anxiously been awaiting summer so he can go to the beach with his new goggles! Right now we just wear them in the tub. I CRACK UP everytime I lok at this. Sorry it is so fuzzy but it is from my cell phone.


Of course Drew had to give his brother a turn....


We hope everyone enjoys the long holiday weekend. Happy Memorial Day everyone! Summer is FINALLY here!

Welcome!

Hi everyone! Well I have actually been trying to do this for a while now but since it is hard to find five minutes to do anything that doesn't involve feeding a baby, changing a baby or cleaning something I haven't had the time. Everybody always asks how the kids are doing and how big they are getting so I figured this would be a great way to keep everyone updated without having to send out a million e-mials. I will try to update as much as I can. The boys are growing up so fast I can hardly believe it. My baby is going to be Drew in a few short weeks. He is such a great big brother and loves Donnie so much. Everytime he leaves the house he comes running back in and says "kiss", so as I lean down to give him one he says "no brother"! He is always stopping for a hug or kiss and if they are sitting next to each other watching tv he is always rubbing his head. Donnie is also getting so big right before our eyes. He went to the doctor for his well visit the other day and was 22 pounds and 29 inches long! Him and Drew are only 6 pounds and 5 inches apart! They are such amazing little boys, I honestly have a hard time remembering when they weren't around. Even at the end of the worst day I remind myself it is better then not having them. They bring such joy to our lives. I can hardly wait to get home from work every day and see Drew swing the door open with that big cheesy smile on his face! Donnie just smiles at EVERYTHING. All you have to do is walk past him and he cracks up. Their smiles brighten up the whole room. Here are some pictures of the little buggers.


This is from Easter. They look real thrilled don't they!


This is Drew on his new swingset. He LOVES to climb and has no fear of heights.



The slide is REALLY fast!


Of course daddy had to get in on the action!

Donnie loves the swings!


Drew also got a new house that he loves to play with his brother in.
