Dinner Time

This is one of my most favorite times of ALL. When we eat together and talk. The other night at 42nd street restaurant we had the best conversation. We all talked about our stories. Cullen had a lot because he did a lot of naughty thing when he was a baby. We all laughed and laughed. Then we talked about funny time like when Ethan skied down and could not stop and skied over a man's ski's. Ava had stories too. I love to hear the kids tell their stories from playing in the woods. Nathan had stories about me and him. We had the best time laughing and sharing stories. These are my favorite times. So tonight was a beautiful night. It was cool and we grilled out steaks. We ate outside and talked. Ethan told us about sharks. We all named what kind of animal we would be and why. We said if we had a million dollars what would we do. We just talked and laughed and talked. I will cherish these times forever.
Cullen wants to be a dad with 2 kids and wants a wife like mommy
Ethan wants to be a dad with 10 kids Ethan wants to live where ever Ava does so he can fret her
Ava wants twins, one boy, one girl and live in CA with the movie stars or England

me and Cullie Bear....

 Cullen always wants it to be just him and I. So today we spent some time together. My little King and he said I was his Queen. We made smoothies, ate Lucky Charms, watched Toy Story 3 and played... I love him so much.

Shark Week

Ethan started watching shows about Sharks during Shark week and boy did he like it. Now he is reading a book a night about Sharks and he is so smart- he already knows a lot of facts. I love when he tells us things he has learned.

nothing like friends

I kept the Hardee boys for Lisa and they had the best time. Cole Oliver came over and the boys played and played! I love seeing my kids happy!

Risk anyone?

Nathan taught Ethan how to play Risk and Ethan won his first time! Nathan better watch out-

best buddies

 Nathan has taught Cullen to play Chess and he plays very well. I love to see them play together. What a special bond.

36th

 Another year older.... I don't mind. I was so excited to wake up and see what the kids had in store for me. They always make Mother's Day and my birthday so special. I woke up to them singing Happy Birthday with flower! Ava had baked me cookies the night before. Ethan had gotten me Hershey Kisses. They all had made me special cards. They all took me out to lunch. Nathan was so sweet to come home from work that morning to sing to me with them. I feel so loved. My mom and dad called and sang to me. I always love when they do that. I wish I could record it b/c it is the sweetest thing. I almost cried. So many Birthday wishes from friends! Caroline Bussemas took me to a wonderful Italian restaurant and then Lisa Hardee and I went to dinner one night. Nathan and the kids took me to dinner and then Rosemary took me to lunch, plus my family surprised me with Breakfast. Nathan said they don't celebrate the Queen's birthday as long as I have celebrated mine! Ha, Ha, I can't help I am loved. It was a wonderful birthday.
