Smile March 15, 2011

Here’s my baby … aka PeeWee … Baby B … Brother … Baby …His real name is Zachary Bronxton Lara. Attn: Zachary Bronxton when you’re older and you read this – it’s true.. you go by 2 names because your parents couldn’t decide on your name. I -your mother- wanted to name you Zachary for couple reasons : Meaning- ‘God has remembered’ This meaning sold me to your name. Why?…You’re our honeymoon baby and when you came out you looked exactly like my mother, your grandmother that is now our angel watching over us. Nickname : Zack – yup the nickname we call your brother Zeke so it was perfect. Zeke and Zack =) ——[Back to blog]—— I took this picture this past weekend right before we started our Sunday morning usually I have to take 30 shots in order to get 1 that captures his essence. This time it only took one click. He stood by his dresser and smiled at me as I was getting the camera ready. This exact smile is what I wake up to, come home to, and go to bed to.

He’s So EZ March 15, 2011

My 1st born..easy-going Ez .. Baby Zeke .. Ezekiel. Oh how he’s so special to me!! I was not a teen but I was a young, fresh college graduate, the world just started for me when I found out that I was going to be a mother. My young, world is filled with endless opportunities mindset gave me the confidence, courage, and strength to commit to a new lifelong 24 hrs a day …. 7 days a week …. 365 days a year ….JOB. And he has made this journey so rewarding, eventful, and proud. He smiles with ease, loves without thinking, cares without worry, and truly has an amazing soul. His honest comments melts my heart and his strategic questions humbles me. I chose this image because it shows his true happy disposition. -Ezekiel @ 4yrs old.

L. Ezekiel Lara’s 1st T-ball debut! March 14, 2011

I’m sitting here trying to put in words the feeling I had when I saw Ezekiel’s 1st at bat at his 1st coach pitch T-ball game. The feeling is indescribable, I can’t. But it was one of my proudest moment as a mother. T-ball makes motherhood worthwhile… watching him follow his coach, listening to his teammates, laughing, smiling and it hits – he loved the game! Me: ‘Ezekiel did you have fun today?’ Ezekiel: ‘Mommy I like baseball .. I want to play again!’

A day at the Park March 14, 2011

Ahhh – It’s a mother’s dream !!!! A place where kids can roam fast and furious…release all their built up energy in half an hour… I love this place a.k.a. park! It’s free and gives me an opportunity to bond with my boys without setting rules. Now that Zachary Bronxton is old enough to roam – my boys pair up running laughing screaming playing ….. watching their friendship grow is priceless and soooooo rewarding. =)

2011 Lara boys… March 9, 2011

Starting March (Ash Wednesday) off with a promise that I will post one blog a month. With that said, here is the latest picture of my boys – Ezekiel and Zachary Bronxton. (4 yrs and 21 months) They keep me optimistic and happy. The more I look at this picture-I can’t help to feel that my husband and I have been replaced by 2 new, improved hybrid versions of us. (very cool!!!)
