Let the Birthday Season Begin!

Hi Everyone!!! Hope you're having a FANTASTIC summer so far!  Our's has been good....very busy though.  

We took the boys to their first movie in a theater the other day to see CARS 2 in 3D!  They had a really good time!  Though I did have to keep my leg on Gino's seat because it wanted to swallow him whenever he moved haha!

Dominic had a GREAT 8th Birthday!  He was really looking forward to this one for some reason & even decided to make himself king for the day.....needless to say, Gino obliged, but look out Dominic because Gino's Birthday is just around the corner (July 20) and he's already said he's looking forward to telling Dominic what to do!  Luckily Dominic did say that they weren't allowed to tell me what to do, ha! smart kid =)

He enjoyed having his best friend, Grant over for the day to play & than some of the family over for his Birthday supper.


A HUGE THANK YOU to all who gave or sent him a gift, whether it be money or toys!  He looked forward to getting the mail to see if he had any new cards.  He also enjoyed spending some of his Birthday money at Toys'R'Us.  He was able to buy the new CARS 2 Wii game & a small remote car.

(a special Thank you to Aunt Janet on a very delicious "inside-out" cake that he just had to have)


Dominic & Gino both LOVE Rocky....they are getting very good at helping to take care of him. Funny to watch Dominic drag a dog twice his weight to his kennel at night =)

 A boy & his dog, it's a beautiful thing.....or a dog & his boy in this case, not sure which =)

Thanks to Morgan, I had a wonderful baby shower this past Sunday!!! It was fun seeing everyone who came, playing the games & opening all the ADORABLE gifts!!! Thank you everyone!!!

 Mom made this adorable elephant diaper cake!

 Morgan made this adorable diaper 4-wheeler =)  

 My mom & my Godmother, Joan (I like this picture)

 My ADORABLE cake, thank you thank you Janet!!!

 Me during one of the games where I had to smell a diaper & decide what kind of  "poop" chocolate was melted inside....VERY funny & a little disgusting haha

Andy has been busy building the boy's their new bed so that we can get them adjusted to being in the same room before baby girl arrives.  He's doing a great job & I can't wait to see the completed project! He even had Dominic helping sand some of the wood.  He enjoys helping his dad anyway he can.

Dominic & Gino are excited, though Dominic has warned Gino he NEEDS to learn to sleep & be quiet before he get's to his room!  He was doing SO well....but not so much anymore.  Found him asleep in the hallway about 11 the other night.  He insists he's not tired (at 9 when we've been putting them to bed).  He's a very stubborn child (can't imagine where he get's that from).


My 2-week Dr visits have been going good, I'm now into my 8th month & right on track with weight (no, I feel HUGE). Baby girl is head-down & still moving  all the time (she does take a few naps throughout the day, but not many, think I might be in trouble).  I'm getting more & more anxious to meet her!!! I've also been very thankful that the summer heat hasn't been too bad so far, hopefully it'll keep up the trend.
