Happy 4th Birthday, My Son..

4 years ago, we had a beautiful baby boy...Dante! I remember the last push I had I got to see your eyes look at mine for the first time. I remember how much you were a snuggle bug. I remember what a good baby you were..no cries, always happy and great eater. I remember your first words...flower, mama, dada and hi. I remember your first favorites..blueberries, bananas, elmo, balls, trains. I remember when you first said "I wuv you" to me without me telling you to say it. I remember when you were curious what was inside your diaper. I remember you taking the first steps. I remember you learning your ABC's & 123's so early on. I remember your silly faces. I remember you holding my hand while sleeping next to you.

And now...

You are still this amazing boy and growing up to be a very smart boy too! You're too heavy to carry, but I still love to snuggle up next to you in the morning. I love to still give you kisses on your cheek while you do your first morning stretch. I love to still watch you concentrate on something that fascinates you. I still love to make you feel better when you get hurt. I still love to make sure you know your manners. I still love to help you pick out your clothes. I still love to take you out for frozen yogurt. I still love to do so many things with you and I can't wait to do more! You are growing up so fast yet still my little boy.

Happy 4th Birthday, my Son

When the shoe fits!

Devan loves trying on shoes! It doesn't matter what color, shape, style or if it's way too big like Daddy's! I look at this picture and think WOW..one day you will fit into these shoes! He will be a Man one day and I hope he becomes the Man that his Daddy is.

Snuggle Bugs

My little Snuggle Bugs are even cuter when they are together! I love to see them so close. I hope this continues on when they get older. Well..not the whole snuggle part, but the closeness that brothers can have!! :)

Dante kicking with noodle july 2011

Dante took swimming lessons. He only took 5 sessions so he's not quite a swimmer yet, however he's doing pretty good at being comfortable in the water and kicking with a noodle. :)

Dinostories by Dante Rosete

Our Son, Dante is so special! At 3 1/2 year's old, he can tell a great story..especially Dinostories! Check out his amazing stories and stay tune cause there will be more!

Mother's Day

 I know everyday is Mother's Day, but when the Calendar event that happens in May for all of us MOMS, it just makes me feel....well..special!!! I made sure to hint to Dante that Mother's day is coming up and asking him questions what does he want to do for me or what does he want to make me? I love to find out what that little 3 year old is thinking. He told me he wanted to make me a card with a heart on it and that he wanted to make me Dinosaur Chicken. Okay if that isn't the sweetest and thoughtful idea then I don't know what is. I mean Dinosaur chicken??? That's his favorite!!! I definitely feel special now!! 

Mother's Day came around and we decided to do something fun for all of us! We went to Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific and had lunch there. Dante did make me a special card and yes it did have a heart on it :) We had a blast and it was a perfect day with my boys!

Here are recent pictures of my boys that any mom would adore. Especially THIS ONE!!! 

Happy Mother's Day!!

This picture is priceless. Dante trying to hug his brother, while Devan is crying cause he doesn't want to be touched. haha

Mother's Day at the Long Beach Aquarium

This smile and his soft baby skin is my fav!

I love when the boys can play together and have fun!

Another special moment to share is this heart eraser that he gives me a few times a day. It's a heart that Dante tells me, "it's for you mom and I love you." I purposely place it where I last have been and I know he can find it to give it to me again throughout the day. I love it!

I heart my boys!
