Luke's new toy.

Grandma bought James and Lucas each a new toy. Lucas had to take his to bed and sleep with it. So sweet.

Up at the Cabin

We took a trip up to Arnold the week before 4th of July to spend up at the cabin with Aunt Denise and Cousin Erik. The first thing Luke did when we got there was to put on these glasses. What a stud muffin. ha ha ha

Everyone building their sandcastles!


TA DA! Finished product . . .
Lunch time for all the hardworking men!
Tony's just a little tired.

My three sons

So, I decided to finally take the boy's picture in the cute shirts they got for CHRISTMAS from my friend Karen. (Just procrastinated to the point of the shirts not fitting anymore . . .) James took this first picture of his brothers with me. Pretty good job, James!Luke, stealing the spotlight. (He has to be able to do that. He's the middle one!)

My three sweet sons! Tony and I always have people asking us if we have seen the show "My Three Sons." The answer is no . . . we don't have time because we are living it! So, thank you Karen for the adorable shirts! These will definitely be kept in their memory boxes!

The Beach in June-u-ary

We spent a fun day at Santa Cruz with the boys after school let out! It was a little cooler than usual for June but the sun felt nice. Lucas was a little scared of the water. James loved it and Dominic seemed to as well. Sadly, the first beach we visited smelled like low tide . . . so, we ended up at the boardwalk!

Last Day of School!

Today was James' last day of school. They had a little presentation for the parents and sang a few songs. He has been practicing at home for a while now. After the presentation they had an ice cream party. Even Luke got to join in! Then, we took a few pictures with some of his best buddies. Now school's out for summer!
James with his buddies, and a picture with his girlfriend. ;-) We hear a lot about her at home.

James and Luke enjoy their ice cream . . . at 10:00am! We are proud of you, James! What a great school year you had!

My big boys

James in the apron that I used to cook along side my mom in. (It was my Grandmother's so, it is on it's fourth generation now!)
Snuggling him while I still can.

Some cute pictures of my big boys. Sniffle Sniffle, they are getting so grown up! Sometimes in the business of the daily activities I forget to soak them in, to realize how little they are, to realize how lucky I am to have them, to hug them enough, to relax and play with them! I love you guys.

Astro Boy

Tony recorded this movie for James and he is obsessed. He runs around the house in my Uggs and if he says he has a "blue core" we know he is a good robot. The "red core" means he is a bad guy. Hopefully he won't be mad at me one day for posting this!

Dom is 6 months!

I gave Dominic his first haircut!

Dominic @ 6 months. 21 lbs 3.6 oz, 28 1/4 inches. 3 shots. Cried like heck! Poor baby. He is our big boy!

Train Museum and Picnic

It seems like every day that there is nice weather we end up having a picnic. James has been really into having picnics lately. He asks to have one every day. So after our trip to the train museum we had a picnic at Land Park. Luke really enjoyed the train museum. He is really into Thomas the train lately and had a blast playing with all of the toy trains.

It was a nice day so we had a picnic in the park. Here are a few pictures of my men.
Tony and James playing with their new boomerang. ;-)

Easter 2011

Randomness (Is that a word?)

Trying on our summer hats . . . still a little big . . .
Our newest little Giants fan. (He's already been to a couple games!)
Dominic pointing out James' black eye. (doesn't James really "look" like a James in this picture? a little James Dean-ish if I do say so myself) Oh, how did he get the black eye you ask? Well, Tony, Luke, and Dom were napping. I was up cooking dinner when I heard James cry, I turned around and he was standing right in front of the edge of the counter. I didn't see it but I think he bent down to pick up a toy and when standing back up knocked his eye into the sharp edge of the granite counter top.) He was amazingly stoic. I had to beg to give it a kiss. ;-)
The cutest bedhead EVER!

Happy Four Months Dom!

You're pretty cute . . . especially talking to Daddy. . .

And we celebrated by having Grandma feed you! Yummy rice cereal. You got it down right away. I think you were ready to start solids my hungry little man!

Park

Tony and I decided as long as the sun is shining we need to get these boys to the park to burn off some of that crazy little boy energy. Don't they look cute?
