Where has the time gone.....

Here is a little reminder that our beautiful children do not stay little for long!!!!! I am enjoying every minute of there elementary years, but that does not stop me from wishing that time could reverse itself, wishing that I could do it all over again not necessarily to make it different, just to be able to keep them with me everyday for longer. So with Mother's Day quickly approaching I thought that I would reminisce a little and show some "younger" photos. They are just some old favorites that I picked from off the top of a stack, not of any certain ages! I am going to try to do this more often, obviously I did not start this until this year so I have a lot of time to make-up for!

Blaise Patrick

I think that Blaise has been one of the easiest children to raise. He never really had temper tantrums, he has always been helpful kind and loving. Everyone that meets him is enamoured with his sweet genuine personality. I recently asked him if there were any girls at school that he thought were pretty...and his response was well I think that you are pretty. Those comments are typical of Blaise, he is always wondering about the well-being of others.

These first two pictures were taken of Blaise when he was about five years old at King's Island, right before he started kindergarten. You can see the way he was studying something....trying to figure everything out.

This next picture was taken when he was taken when Blaise was eight...while we were on vacation in the Outer Banks.

As a single-Mom of a little boy I always wanted Blaise to play sports, however with my schedule and my inability to play baseball, football, or alot of those rough and tumble sports (if it would have been dance or cheerleading we would have been ok) he lacked the practice needed to excell at them. That does not mean that he would not give it his all...we are trying it again with Matt around to teach him all of the little things that I just don't know.

Aidan Tiffany

Aidan and I have very similar personalities, the biggest difference is that she is shy where I am loud and bossy. Aidan is currently the baby family...hopefully not forever though...hehe! There is much about her that is still very baby-like, for instance the girl still is such a messy eater that she will walk around at school all-day with pb&j stuck to her face, she constantly gets food in her hair. She is also social, and quite an artist. She is constantly writing, coloring and drawing pictures. I love having a little girl...there is so much that we can share, so much to look forward to in the future. Aidan was the fattest baby that I have ever seen....another time I will post more fat-baby pics of both of them.

Aidan was two in the picture above....yes I know that I was a bad Mom she still used her binky....but she was my baby, and she was such a good sleeper(and still is). This picture was taken on our trip to Disney World....boy she was not a happy camper most of the trip!!!! She HATED the Disney characters.......but that is another blog.

The fourth of July is one of my FAV holidays...again another blog! I love to dress the kids in red, white, and blue at all times of the year. Aidan was again two in the picture below.

I think that most of my favorite pictures come from our family vacations....the next one was taken of Aidan when she was three....at the Outer Banks! A few minutes after this pic was taken Aidan got a splinter so huge that we had to go to the hospital to get it out....a very expensive trip.

Another group of pictures were taken the year Aidan was four...again in the Outer Banks! This year was quite a year......it was one that we will never forget.

Isn't she just the most beautiful sight.....she takes my breath away.....this last pic was taken at her friend Ashley Vittorio's fourth birthday party. I couldn't resist a pic of those short piggies...

I love being their Mom...thank you to the good Lord above from giving me the loves of my heart.
