The Birthday Boys

Wow...my boys are getting so big. Justin has just turned 15 and Abraham is now 5. Where has the time gone.

I remember when after only 5 months of marriage I was told I had less than a 5% chance of ever getting pregnant. It was such devastating news to me as I had wanted to be a mother so badly. Three years later we were very surprised and delighted to know that I was pregnant. I was so excited when I felt my baby move for the first time. Toward the end of my pregnancy I would pull my shirt real tight and watch my belly roll and move for hours. It was such a thrill. When Justin was born on his fathers birthday we were so happy. What a beautiful boy. I am so grateful that Justin gave me those first experiences of motherhood and he has filled my life with such joy and love.

I remember the first time I met Abraham. It was Easter weekend and Matt was bringing the kids to my house to meet me for the first time. Abe was 3 weeks away from turning 3 and he was such a sweet and cute little boy. I can remember sitting in Church with him a couple weeks later and him sitting on my lap. He would snuggle with me and he fit so perfectly there. It was fun at his birthday to give him the medieval castle set and see him playing with it with his sisters.

I love these boys. They have such sweet and fun personalities. They make me laugh with the things that they say and do. I am proud of them and how they are learning to become brothers. Abe asked for a medieval castle cake so I attempted to make one with the help of my good friend Shauni Snow. Thank you Shauni for all your help. You just don't realize how huge this cake was until you see the picture of the boys standing next to the cake. Abe loved it so that is all that matters.

It was so nice to have family come to celebrate the boys birthday. Thank you to Nana, Papa, Christopher, Kris, Brielle, Bruno IV, Heidi, Lexi, Bruno V, Ashley, Karmen, Rodrigo, Joaquin, Ezekiel, Grandma & Grandpa Curtis and Andrea for coming to our party and making the day such a fun time. We love our family and were glad that we could share these special birthdays with each of you.
