Our Newest Addition….

We welcomed Gunner to our family about 1 1/2 years ago and he is the best thing that has ever happened to us!  He is a chocolate lab and he is the sweetest dog!  Just look at that face!  He is very gentle and loves to snuggle!!

It's been awhile….

It's been almost three years since my last post.  So much has happened!  I will get back to is in the next few days.  I have missed being here :)

Montauk 2011

Once again this year, we vacationed out in beautiful Montauk for our July 4th weekend. We spend five wonderful days with the kids and many friends. The weather was picture perfect except for one day of haze and a few sprinkles. The fireworks on July 4th were are beautiful as last year. We had an awesome room which was just steps from the beach. During the day, all of our friends and family relaxed on the beach while the kids dug HUGE holes in the sand or rode the waves on their boogie boards. In the evening, we sat on the beach toasting marshmallows for our famous S'mores (which were um, um good!!!). You just can't beat the laid back life out there in Montauk. The sky at night is filled with stars, some of which you feel like you can just reach up and grab! It's vacations like this that force you to sit back, relax and be thankful for all that we have. It was a wonderful time! I love you Pete and of course, my four amazing boys!!

My babies are turning 11!

It's hard to believe that eleven years ago tomorrow, June 14th, God blessed me with not one, but two beautiful baby boys! I want you both to know that you are the light in my life and I love you both so much! You make me proud to be your mom. You have both turned out to be handsome little men. I want you to always know that I will love and protect you and be there for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BOYS!!!!

Love, hugs and kisses....mom xoxoxox

Let's Go YANKEES!!!

It's not often you get to take you kids to see a major league ball game, especially if your home team is the NEW YORK YANKEES!!! The cost is usually the deciding factor whether or not you watch the game from the comfort of your home or from the actual stadium. Well, let's just say that someone very special, my late Grandfather, made it possible for me to take my kids to a Yankee game with all the bells and whistles. It was the first time my boys have seen the new stadium and it was a GREAT day!!!! Jeter is now only 7 hits away from hitting 3000 and we got to see two of the hits that have gotten him ever closer. The weather cooperated and the boys, Pete and I had an amazing day together! To sweeten the pot, the Yankees won 9-1 against the Cleveland Indians!!! Thanks Grandpa! We love you and miss you even more!! xoxox

Yankees 10U All-Star game!!

My little man made the 10U little league All-Star team! We are very proud of you and your team! It was a great game. We beat the other team 23 - 6. Way to go boys!!

Vegas Baby!!!

This past May, Pete and I took a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday! Little did I know how much fun it would be!!! Aside from taking in all of the sights, we rented a convertible mustang and drove to see the Hoover Dam. It was an amazing sight as you can imagine! We love spending our alone time together. Happy Birthday to my best friend!!! I love you!! Here are some pictures of our trip....
