Happy 6th Birthday Short Man

6 years old - where has the time gone. Who knows there is so many of them I'm lucky I remember when any of them came into this world...lol No that's not true at least not for my 1 and only boy. OK seriously I don't remember much about his first year. I remember his love for his BIG pacifiers that everyone used to make fun of. They were so cute and I didn't care who thought they were strange he loved them. He loved to eat. In fact, most of the pictures I came across of his first years all involved food. He still has a good appetite but nothing like he did. He is more and more like his Daddy everyday. He is a sweet and caring little man. He is a good big brother to his sisters and that includes Sam - even though she is older. You can always count on him to make you laugh. He's so smart and doesn't even realize it yet. I can only imagine what he will be when he grows up. He's been saying "doctor" for some time now so we'll see.

Enjoy the look the back....

Babe

I miss you - can you come home now

xoxoxoxo

Jean this is for you....

The other night Sophia got into trouble and Steve told her to go into the corner. Well problem was the corner she was trying to get into was blocked with stuff I was putting outside. It took 10min. and she finally figured out how to get into the corner and opted to sit on the chair:

Oh boy Oh Boy - I have a new trick to share.....

if this works scroll down about 1/2 way and look on the right for the music. Press pause on the music then come and play the video. Enjoy!


*update: so excited this worked lots more video to come!

Happy Birthday to Bella (again) and a little early to Steven

As it goes here at the Pepe's the birthday's usually last awhile. On Sunday we partied all day with the kids. In the morning they had their combined birthday party at the wood kingdom. There was lots of kids and lots of fun! In the evening we celebrated again with my family for Bella's birthday and for Steven's a little early. Don't worry the boy isn't getting less of a birthday because he shared some of it with his sister. He loves his little sister and enjoy's being born in the same month. He'll get to party all over again at the end of the month when his real birthday comes along. Here are some pictures - too many to post individually so enjoy the slideshow!

Happy Heart Day!!!!

It's 8am. I am spoiled. I say that because I am still snuggled in bed while my sweet dear husband cooks me french toast - MY FAVORITE!!! Not any french toast HIS - it's the best really and it's only made for me.....oh and those little people running around down there with him. I am sure we will have a nice day today cause it's Happy Heart Day. We had a nice dinner out last night so we could spend today with the kids. Right now Steve is spending time with the kids and I am spending time with my laptop....lol

UPDATE: The 3rd one just ran up the stairs to tell say "Ummm Mommy Daddy got you pretty red flowers but I am not supposed to tell anyone one but they are so pretty" and she runs away...

When I opened my card a letter fell out. No I am not telling you what it said or posting it here for all you to read just know this: I am spoiled by the most loving, sweet, generous, caring, thoughtful, man in the world. Babe you are my "Murderer of love" xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

There is nothing to ever get or do for Steve. As he say's: he is a simple man. Well this is for my simple man - I know he will appreciate this so much:

"She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen. "

"What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it."


" I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that. "

"Maybe I didn't really know you. Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse, in which case it's not your fault. I'm been thinking about all these things and... you're probably standing there monitoring. And one more thing - about the letter. Nuke it. Flame it. Destroy it. - It hurts me to know it's out there. Later."

You know that feeling in your heart? When your heart is just pounding, like it's actually outside your ribs. Exposed, venerable, but wonderful and awful, and heartsick, and alive, all at the same time?

Nobody thinks it will work, do they? No. You just described every great success story.

I'm 36 years old, I love my family, I love baseball and I'm about to become a farmer. But until I heard the voice, I'd never done a crazy thing in my whole life.


Love is not a feeling, it's an ability.

Love actually is all around us.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

"The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood or bad mood..ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you..the right person's still gonna think the sun shines out your ass.."

I tell you one thing, though. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're gonna take this luggage with us!

Dear God, whose name I do not know - thank you for my life. I forgot how BIG... thank you. Thank you for my life.

"One question - Are you here because you need someone or because you need me? Forget I don't care....
"I need you!"

"I love you how many more time do I need to say it? One more time would be nice. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!

I love you Babe! - Oh that's from me :)

Just a simple walk.....or is it?!?

It's bad enough when we take a walk we laugh at what the neighbors must say when they see - scratch that - hear us coming. When you add Dexter and Lulu to the mix well it's just mass chaos!



No we can't walk together

I thought I would try to get a picture...ha ha ha ha



Where's Sophia you might ask...she's there behind the blockhead



Dexter is excited to see Sophia coming over to him - he's not stupid he knows she has food he'll be able to steal...

SCORE!!! Fritto's



Now I am not sure who is more anxious for Steve to open the bag -



The dog at least does tricks for them



Who's a big dog? Who's gonna loose a hand...lol
