Can’t Believe It…

Here are my boys…growing up…right before my eyes…

Trevor got hurt at school…fell off a swing and was told he was OK…Mama didn’t think he was…regardless, I wanted that cut cleaned GOOD…so off the to “hospital” we went…more like a clinic, but the best we’ve got here!  We brought his baby and a baba…and big brother snuggled right up, asking if he was OK, snuggling, cuddling and loving him to pieces…I had to stop on the other side, just to take a photo…it was PRECIOUS…BEYOND precious…it’s what you want when you know you have more than one baby to love…you want them to love each other like YOU LOVE THEM…and they do…Let’s just remind Zachary to keep the Nerf Guns at home next time…he didn’t really dig the nurses making his brother cry!!


Brandon loves “Doffee”…LOVES it!  He TRULY is my son…well, they ALL love it, but Brando the most…he can guzzle one faster than mama…I have to be careful giving him any!

Being a little helper for mommy…he was helping me write numbers for the book club gift exchange…it was SO cute listening to him talk his little tongue out…asking me questions about this and that…what number to write next…telling me, “Oh!!!  That’s a cinch!!  I know THAT one!”…on every number!!  Love that he trying so hard…and loving it!!

I don’t know what I’ll do when these boys are annoyed by me, back talk (for real) and leave me standing at the door as they head out into the great big world…but I know my heart will always be full of love for them…and I will never regret a day I spend with them…and I will cherish every single memory we make…

Merry Christmas!!

We decided to stay in Phnom Penh for Christmas this year…it was a little odd to be in our jammies all morning and head out to brunch and have the roads be packed…we sort of expected it to be quiet on the streets…but it was just another BUSY day here…which was a bit of a downer, I’m not gonna lie…BUT…enter the Sofitel Christmas Brunch and the spirit of Christmas, family, love, food and fun was restored!!!  It was festive, full of yummy food, packed with a BUNCH of people celebrating Christmas (I have not seen so many white faces in one location since I’ve been here!!!)…We ate and ate…and ate and ate…then the boys went swimming outside with Sokím and we enjoyed more food and some cappuccinos!  We were tired, full and loving every minute of it!

A SUPERMAN PARTY!!!

This was the very first party Zachary got to throw for himself…we just don’t “do” parties…but this boy was AWARE of parties…and wanted his own…The best part, he didn’t realize he was going to get presents from everyone who came to his party…he just thought they were coming to “party”!!!

We had a lot of debating on what the party was going to be…Super Hero, Sonic, Super Hero, Super Man, Sonic, Super Man, Sonic, Mario, Super Man…you get it…we finally settled on Super Man…and we had to be committed…because we FINALLY got Bloom to agree to make an eggless cake for us!  YAY!!

So…we had capes made, balloons, a photo booth, a Spidey jumping castle, yummy food and best of all…LOTS of friends!!!  The perfect day for this PERFECT BOY!!!
