Times change

It's been a couple of months since I have written anything; it's crazy how things change. We had a play date meet and greet at Jonas' kindergarten yesterday and he met some kids that might be in his kindergarten class; what a relief! I was so nervous that he wouldn't make friends, but now seeing him, I have nothing to worry about. We are still waiting for Brayden to start talking. He has mimicked a couple of words that Chaz has said (mama, dada, boo, blue, yes, vroom) but that's it. We filled out the paperwork today to have a speech therapist come out; our evaluation is on the 25th (fingers crossed). In other news, we had the best 4th of July ever! We went to the local parade that's 1/2 a block away, it had such a small time feel! Then we went to the park right down the road and they had free face painting, bounce houses, pretzels and hot dogs, and a juggler- all for free! At night fall we went to the local highschool and sat on a picnic blanket and watched the late fireworks as a family. I love our neighborhood!

Old spice

There was an old spice commercial that sang about making a man out of a moms  son; Jonas saw it and told us he never wanted old spice because he never wanted to leave me

This last couple of weeks have been an emotional roller coaster

It was Mother's Day and I got egg Benedict! Yum! And Jonas picked me out beautiful nail polish and a sparky purple hairbrush- he knows me so well! He also made me a precious card that says thank you and has a Popsicle stick house on it; we then took Grammy out to lung during which both kids went crazy and it was capped with Jonas throwing up in the bathroom- arg! Dinner was scallops- delish! 

The next week it was our anniversary and Jonas insisted on getting me an anniversary card too - he wants nothing more than to marry me! How amazing; we went the smorgasbord a day early because preschool graduation was on our real anniversary

We started the day at chuck e cheese to celebrate- when we showed up chuck was there dancing and the power briefly went out: Brayden kept hugging chuck's legs and it was cute

Graduation was tough- Brayden was going crazy and Chaz was dealing with him so I could get a picture

My baby was done with preschool that quick... No more mrs snarski and no more mrs fulginitti... New kids and a new school- full days and five days

When did he grow up? At least I held in the ugly crying until we got to the car

5 year plan

5 years ago I was waiting to give birth to my first son. Little did I know how much my life would change

Flash forward 5 yrs and my boy has already lost his first tooth (Friday may 9th) the tooth fairy brought him one dollar and a "demon" Kane wrestling figure; and his last day of preschool ever is tomorrow morning. 

He's doing swimming lessons and has friends that he plays outside with and doesn't need my help.

It's bittersweet really- i will forever be his mommy... Kisser of boo boos and wiper of tears. I don't ever want him to stop being my first baby... I hope he knows that. 

I feel like I've missed out because I work so much and at Mother's Day tea at his school his art said that my favorite thing to do was work. I will spend the rest of my days proving to him that being with him and his brother is my favorite thing every day.

It's been a long time

It's been over a year since my last post- crazy how time flies

Since last year we had to move- that was stressful, but our new neighborhood is amazing

Brayden still doesn't talk

Jonas has gotten way into wrestling an legos

Jonas started swimming lessons today

And he told me he didn't want to buy old spice and leave me after watching an old spice commercial about boys turning into mean

How cute

The boys are currently fighting while trying to clean up down stairs

Until next time

(Hopefully not a year)

4 more years

This morning is your fourth birthday- you got a breakfast sprinkle donut with 4 candles and a wolverine and iron man figure. After we sang I told you to make a wish when you blew out your candles: you said you did and I asked what. You said I wished for my donut!

Oh the places you will go

Today is bittersweet; it was your last day of your first year of school and I had to work! I missed it all... I'm sorry, I wish I could have been there- your teacher was amazing (mrs snarski) and I cried because you are growing up so fast.
Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was amazing: I worked in the morning, and you guys and dad surprised me at work with flowers (you always wanted to get me flowers) dad got me a photo book and made me the best shrimp linguine.
Right now we are looking to buy a house and that's overwhelming, trying to find the right place to raise you boys for the rest of your life... It's all for you boys

My so called life

Today I took Jonas to target to give Chaz time to relax... Over course that led to me buying him a 20 set of wrestling guys and candy land And chutes and ladders;
We get home and after he plays with his wrestling guys he talks me into candy land which proved quite frustrating- I halted the game halfway through and we switched to chutes and ladders and had Chaz join in too. Jonas got this game a lot easier and Our first game he won! And he was soo excited! Then at bedtime he saw my boogers and threw up all over his bed. What an interesting day- oh yes and it was the Super Bowl.
