Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my ever grateful and giving father and for those of you that know him you will think the same. I only wish I could be more like him. I love you Dad. Also Happy Father's Day to Stephen who is such a perfect and caring father to the boys. We love you so much. Here are a few pictures from our very special day to recognise the fathers in our life. Mick already starting to want to be like daddy on the skateboard.
Has to carrier it wherever Joseph and Stephen go.
Wow he always impresses me on his ramps.
My dad Joseph and I made Grandpa Banana Muffins for his favorite dessert and we picked him out a nice tie.
Joseph also helped me make daddy's favorite dessert cheesecake, we were busy after church

Joseph couldn't wait to give daddy his gift, Joe picked him out a very nice journal and he drew a picture of the three of them in it, also last Sunday they made special ties for him to wear to church this Sunday they were pretty funny with pictures of them glued on it and all kinds of buttons.
After church the three boys daddy posing his awarding winning ties.
Joe wants to learn to do this so bad but doesn't really want to take the time to do it. He just wants it to come just like that, snap.
I love this picture he always wants Stephen to help him.

Hired Help

He's hired, Grandma has offically hired Joseph to move the lawns.
It's all work and no play, or not.

Don't Ignore Icky

Lesson number one never ignore a child in another room saying icky. While I'm sure a lot of you are guilty as well as I am obviously. I was busy in the back room and didn't feel like stopping to see what icky, icky was and why he was saying it. Well finally he came back to me and... Let's just say I saw this. Yuck so I cleaned it up and clean out his belly button, who knows how it got there. And then he was staring down at something...
Yeah he must have decided after he took his diaper off to take a ride on the flat bed. So, point is never ignore icky I know I won't ever again.

Primary Party

For our primary party we decided to have the kids meet at the park and go ice blocking and play games and just have finger foods. It was super casual but they all had a lot of fun. Not to mention easy on the presidency.

Loves the attention

Trash Security

Every Thursday without fail my boys are making sure the trash men are doing there job right.

Joseph's Last Day of Preschool

This was a very good move for us, going into preschool Joe was very shy and didn't really talk to anyone. He really just didn't want to be there at all. His teachers were very good with him. He really opened up by the end of the school year. This is Teacher Elenor and Teach Jackie. Great job Joe, we love you.
I guess I forgot that sunlight through the window and taking a picture towards it doens't work very well. Joe is getting his bible, pencil and certificate.
All of the graduating children got up and sang special song. Joe in the middle red shirt.

Joe, Christian, Rome, Petra, Mick and Giana having there snack at school.
Whens Joe first started preschool he could hang on one bar. Now he just zips right acrossed. I'm so proud, this is a big thing.

Joseph has decided to take on the roll of big brother. I love it when Joseph takes care of him and I can catch it, it makes all the moments when he is telling me to send Mick back wash away.

Joseph's School Zoo Trip

Haha, Joseph really wanted to take a picture with with me allthough it looks like I am making him look like he wants to. I didn't notice that until now. We had a very fun time though.

So this probably won't be as funny as it was when I was watching it but I will try. So we were in this covered area with all kinds of birds. There was a lot of little pigeons on the ground walking around and Mick in this picture had just watched two of them walk back into the bushes and stood up and wondered where they went.
Then he leaned down to looking inside the pushes with his hands and knees on the little curb and what do you know they came rushing out right where he was and this is his reaction. With a load scream.
Here is a close up. So adorable, love it.

Joseph, Mick and Christian so cute I love this picture. They were all trying to ride the lion after we had lunch on the lawn.
Ms. Rome super sweet and cute with the boys in front of the lion. I think Joseph is not sure if the lion is going to jump over the fence and get him.

Mick, Rome, Christian & Joseph
We had a very fun zoo trip with Joseph's whole preschool. I ended up begging Joseph to go the morning of because his Josh and Jayden (his cousins) showed up at our house that morning to go to the beach later that afternoon (thanks Camie) and if you know Joseph those cousins are everything to him. As you can see he ended up having a blast as well as Mick and I.
