My 1st father's day without my daddy

We got Dan a Guitar for father's day... he being wanting one for a while and we being talking about it too but he really wan't thinking I would do it without him with me (Thanks Mike for your help!) So he was SO happy! Also last Friday he went to see PHISH in IN, also gave his soul a smile! =)))

Happy father's day Dan! You are a great dad and awesome husband - all the way!

We had so much fun playing Wii on father's day - It's being a hard day - lots of cry! But overall I must thank God for my very good and dear friends!

They were all very concerned. many called, invited me to do things.

It was a good day, but I didn't think or feel any more about da then I would on a regular day.

I danced for quite a few hours - and that is something dad did all the time...

He would enter the room dancing - get home from work, leave his car and dance...

So dad... I danced for you!

Happy Birthday Shannon!!!! =)))

I'm SOOOO so excited!

So it's my friend Shay's birthday today, I know what I want to get for her for her birthday but never made out this week - I was so busy with the kids and working - so anyways I still had a card for her and I also got her a lottery ticket that said "LOTS OF 50'S"

I wanted to get the birthday scratch lottery tickets but for some reason the "LOTS OF 50'S" called my attention - I open my purse and guess what? I only have 1 - yes 1 dollar and they do NOT take credit card. So I go ahead and get one and wrote into the card:

- I wish I could give you "LOTS OF 50'S" my dear, but I can't =(

Try the lottery ticket!

I sure did wishe from the botton of my heart! - and guess what???? She got 50 bucks!!!! The very first and only lotery I have ever got! With trully all the desire to give her $ for her birthday! =) Awesome! It's not "LOTS OF 50'S" but 50 bucks it's a good start! =)))

An interesting day – I must make a record of it!

It started very turbulent with very disrespectful boys and naughty attitude. I sure did chose how the day was gonna turn out – and made sure to let them know they must go along with me so this could work for us.

WE were expecting the 365Portrait to come and they never showed up! Great! And only called on the last minute to let us know! =oP

Haley came about 10; Benji had a good time... they ate lunch incredibly well. Tati came for a few hours, with Thomas while Monica was at camp and we had a great time – relaxing and chatting our elbows off.

To top it off – after an awesome dinner dad cooked we headed to KI "just for 1 hour" (I really wanted the boys in bed by 8pm. But it ended up being a "get it all" trip to Ki with all the fixings! Funnel cake & Dippin' Dots ice cream (1st time the boys had both) and a second dinner (not that we needed it – lol) and a funny "80's show – live!" that it was actually very good.

We got to ride at least 4 rides the kids haven't done before, it was very nice! We even got to ride all of us together in the same seat for a few of them.

Noah who does *great* with using the potty at home had 2 accidents at KI this evening (luckily I had 2 extras sets of undies and shorts)

So of course – got home an had a bath – put away the 4 – yes 4 loads of laundry I have done today and I'm about to o to bed and have no dirty dishes! What a day! =)

,

Funny Stuff:

1 We actually got to ride a couple of rides on the "other side" of KI – It's so cool the boys are getting tall enough so we can enjoy some new rides together!

2. Benjamin – after he brushed his teeth said " Mom, you know what? I forgot to "sloss" my teeth! (Yes – he did mean Floss)

3. It was the first time I ever saw a child fall asleep while you are taking them out of the bath! Literally!!! I got the towel around him, he was laughing AWAKE while we were talking about the whole "sloosing the teeth thing" – got to the bedroom, just next door to the bathroom, went to dry him and WHAT? He is asleep!

4. At Ki – I saw a Chipmunk steeling food from a guy's hand! Is family didn't see – they were just sitting next to him, the only ones that saw I think it was me and him – it was HILARIOUS!

There were a couple more things that were so funny too but of course – I'm brain dead right now and can't remember!

Good night you all! =))

Nice!

Had a good day yesterday with friend S and awesome time at the W's house for cooking lesson (I was teaching them a brazilian recipe) and HOOOOOOOOT TUB! =))))

Benji finally got to go rock climbing

Isaac's birthday party was at a rock climbing wall room - how cool?! Ben has being asking to go rock climbing for months now - but he is too little - usually they have to be at least 5 yrs old! I think he did great for a 4.5! He is tall enough!!!

"Come to daddy's arms!" =)))

Soooo high! (well - for a little kid !)

Proud Parents! =)))

Up! up! up! & up! And mama never stoped taking pictures! lol

I'm feeling pretty awesome

Yesterday I was babysitting all day!
Started the day at 6:45am until 5:30 - at some point I had a total of 7 kids (including mine) the oldest was 6!

I still did 2 loads of laundry - a warm lunch for all of them and had dinner ready by 5pm - Aaaand the house is not that bad - still in order - it needs cleaning but all the boys were picked up and all!!!
Daniela came by - with Chipolte (yuummm) and we eat together after all the kids were fed and happy. I'm not sure about doind this day after day - but for a day here and there not so bad!

So that is pretty awesome isn't it?
