My three sons.....(ok, OUR three sons, Bri!)

Just a quick post....had to put this newest one of the three boys. They just don't seem to stop growing and changing right before our eyes. Love you silly gooses!!

Baby burrito

David LOVES his blankets....so much so, that he rolled right over and tucked himself like a burrito in this green frog blanket (that Mrs. Appleby made for Paul!!). Henry watches from behind, while he is playing with the marble run set.

Paul noticed that the camera was out, and came right over to pose with his baby bro!

Like I said, David loves his blankets. This one was also made by Mrs. Appleby for Paul. David likes to suck his right thumb and throw his right pointer finger over his nose, while he holds onto a blanket with his remaining three fingers.....I think that it is the cutest thing (of course, because I am his mother, and because neither Paul nor Henry did anything like this.

Here David is thinking, "Why did you disturb me, Daddy, by taking that picture?"

Is this the face of a future card shark?

Here Henry is playing Go Fish, a card game that Uncle John gave to the boys for Christmas. Henry loves to play games, and also plays Chutes and Ladders, and Cootie, and LOVES puzzles!! I am glad that I have kids that like to play games as much as I do!!

When is a good time to teach them how to play Pitch!!??

Memorial Day Party 2009

We had our 8th annual Memorial Day party at 8 Fern Street yesterday, and here are some of the pictures I was able to take (or my mom took), in between all the chaos of entertaining and feeding 11 adults and 11 kids. It was A LOT of fun!!

David's new teeth.......the better to eat sweet potatoes with......

Henry Dimitri and Hannah Mogul, playing in the sandbox......They are only 7 days apart in age. And look like they could be twins, with the blonde hair and blue eyes.

Jack Tetreault brought his riding John Deere tractor to the party and instantly became popular with all the boys. Here Paul is driving around the backyard. (don't worry they are wearing seatbelts.)

Here Jack, Paul and Henry are enjoying a fine dinner of cheeseburgers, hot dogs and all the sides, with a tall glass of skim milk!!

Lastly, we have the boys posing in the backyard with Jack's tractor. I was barely given enough time to take this picture....those boys are QUICK!! From left to right, we have Mack Sampson(6yrs old), Paul Dimitri(4), Will Sampson(4), Henry Dimitri(2), and Jack Tetreault(3).

Lego Launch

Paul and Henry just finished making their newest Lego spaceships. They even tell you the names of them, if you listen at the end. The launch was set for 9:45 AM and all went well, as you can see by watching the video. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!!!

One Spring afternoon.....

David enjoying the view of the boys running around on the driveway, from his stroller....

Paulie on his Big Wheel....just riding along.

Paul running on the driveway, as fast as he can!

Henry blowing bubbles....his new favorite past time.

H-Diddy.....in the HOUSE!

Paul and Henry discover an ant hill, or two....

Paul and Henry are helping me plant zinnia seeds, as well as sunflowers too!!

Henry's Marble Run.....

Here is a video of Henry playing with Marble Run (another used toy from the Marquis Boutins...we are lucky we are friends with them!!). He wanted a video on the blog too. Only fair, I suppose......Happy Saturday!!

Paul's new (used) tractor.....

I thought that I would add a video of Paul and his "new" (used from another family) tractor, playing in the sunroom yesterday.

David speaks...sort of....

I am trying something new here.....David loves to make this sound, "ba ba ba....".

So, I tried to videotape it with the camera, and now trying to post it to the blog.

am I successful?? let's see......

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!!

Thank you boys.....I love you!

Happy Mother's Day, to all the mothers out there, especially my Mom! I love you! And to Jane Dimitri. You are quite a special lady too!

and thank you to the three boys that make me a mother. I couldn't be more proud to be their mom, and this is only the beginning guys! I love you each so much, you just can't even imagine just how much..... : )

Paul and mommy....

Henry and mommy....

my three sons.....


man, I look tired in this one...... ; )

Paul needs some face time too.....

Here is Paul with his first Dairy Joy of the season......(before his spring haircut too.....) New pics of that later...

working at home today....

Henry loves this old computer toy of Paul's. I really think that it helped him learn how to talk! He knows his alphabet, and can sing it too...really cute! More later....gotta put D down for a nap. :)

Henry's spring haircut

Henry was due for a shorter hair do.....here is the BEFORE........

and the AFTER......he was so excited that I couldn't get him to sit still and look at me. ; )

David....6 months old!!

David Carl Dimitri is now (as of April 27th) 6 months old!! His peditrician told us that when his children turned 6 months old, they liked to celebrate with 1/2 a cake, because they had made it through one of the toughest times.....the first 6 months of a baby's life (instead of waiting until they were 1 year old). I love that idea, and celebrated with a beer instead!! Maybe I will make a cake later this week..... ; )

David-o.....

"One meillion dollars........"

Henry calls David, "David-o"....that is where the title comes from.

David loves his toes. Here is just out of the bath......And there will be some more of David tomorrow!

More from the farm.....

I wanted to add these 2 pics as well, because we finally entered the 21st century and have broadband service now, and adding pictures is SOOOOO much easier, and QUICKER! Love it! I will be posting pictures all the time now!! Happy May Day!!

Can't wait to see what the summer holds for us.....this simple day trip was so much fun!!

the boys running to the dairy barns....
