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!

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! =))))

Highlights of the day! =)

We had a tornado watch today - we did go to the basement for about 30 minutes. Damage was reported as close as Loveland. But everyone/everything seems to be ok.

Benji went Rock climbind for Isaac's birthday (it was so great - Benji has being asking to do it for a long time now)

I got a pedicure! =)

Random photos from last week...

Last week we spent a lot of time with our extended family. Friday we had lunch and spent the rest of the day at cousins house. Last weekend too...
Dan was so impressed with how happy people are around here. Simple and VERY happy life! =)

We also spent a whole day at a market here in downtown Curitiba - like a farmers market where we found all kinds of fresh food. We got a aloe vera and a lavendar plant to Vovoh Fatima and lots of yummie food.

* Our hairy cousin João; such a happy baby!

* Boys looking for puppies under the car! (I can't make this pic turn around the right way - not sure why!)

* Just being himself - always happy and easy going Noah Bird

* His new favorite way to watch TV

Benji & Noah had so much fun with cousins Luiz & Baby João
* Ben & Luiz Gustavo - they are so much alike - it's fun to watch!

* Playing their violão - hours and hours of music every day! (pay attention to the knees - both boys with booboos on the right knee!)

* In the way back from Luiz's house they all crashed! Including Vovoh Celso

More wedding stuff...

This was the party favor from a wedding - isn't this so cool and such a good idea?
By half way to the party everyone took their shoes off and weared the sandals!!!

Eatble fudge! Awesome delicious deserts and so well done! I can't believe the perfection of this little candies! It's art! and whaaaaaaaat a yummie art! =)

A day at the farm...

Today we went to my mom's family farm. It was awesome!
Benji & Noah had so much fun! (Noah too... but he did stay more around the house)
as Benji wanted to see everything... the chickens - the eggs - how to make cheese, the milk coming from the cow...
He absolutelly impressed me, cause he is so sensitive when it comes to what he sees - he'll barf for no reason, but this time he got he fish, watch my cousin kill and clean the fish, tried diferent food, ran thru the woods and corn fields, help a peep and a bunch of other funs things.
I believe he learned more in a day than he would in weeks of reading books or anyone else could teach.

Happy 2009!!!!

We had a nice party, it could only be better if Dan could be with us! Here in Brasil New Years is always a big party, everyone has fireworks - it's beautiful! We got just a few part of our family together (about 28 of us), less then usual but still we had a great time! I saw cousins that I haven't seing in 6 or 7 years! It was only my mom's side of the family, but still not all her siblings were there. The menu was awesome, we had so much food and deserts. We all had a blast!

* My mom cooked one of my favorite dishes: Past with pumpkin puree and almods! Yummm!

* Trying to get everyone in the picture!

* My dad & I - I love this man!

Curitiba's Zoo

It was so much fun! The kids were pretty excited - they absolutelly love the Zoo! It's a very hilly place and they walked most of the time (not Noah). After we drove all around this huge lake where there are boat races and saw a few more pretty things in Curitiba - places that I never being to even though I lived in CWB since I was like 9. (Moved to US when I was 21)

It was also so funny to see different animals then our Zoo in Cincy. I took a bunch of pictures and Noah was SO happy to see his friends from "Madagascar"

* Bulls

* Ostrages

* Noah, when he wasn't running away from us - was always trying to get a ride with someone

* Albine peacocks

* Giraffes!!!!!! =) Melmaaan! (Noah shouted)

* I don't think my kids ever saw the giraffe at the Cincy Zoo (Before it left - or after it was back - is it back?) They were very into them!

* The lion was very old

* An anta - I'm not even sure what's called in English!

Dears - many dears! LOL Can you believe it? I guess it's not that big of a deal - if you really think about it. We see a ton of animals in the USA that are "normal" here lik parrots and things like that... soooo we don't have dears crossing the roads in Brasil so I guess the Zoo it's the place to see them, right?

* My dad, cousins Will, Augusto, Victor and all the way in the back Tio Paulo + Tia Ro

X-mas 2008

We had an excellent x-mas! Our family joined in Guga’s family on x-mas eve. During the day I talked to the boys about what x-mas means, we had a nice time at dinner…

Guga and Kadu put together this fun video (that included us too) to play for their family, they had a “funny videos” from both their and our family afterwards, where there was Tia Sandra falling down on the mud, me falling on the snow he boys getting into to trouble! I'm gonna try to post at least the familyvideo as soon as I figure it out how...

Tio talked about stating 2009 with a “Clean cut” look and had a great beautiful speech about cleaning out the clutter in our homes as well about the clutter in our souls.
It was all so cute and well organized; the food was insanely good, of course! This day was the hardest since Dan has being gone. We missed himbad! We called to wish him a Merry X-mas and talked with the WebCam. On the 25th we went to my Tia Sueli's house for a BBQ....

....and of course Noah is up and I can’t finish this post… =oP

* Benji loved the "queso blanco"

Some more of what we are getting ourselfs into....

I don’t need to write anything as the pictures speak for itself! (Or maybe I’m just saying that because I have no time to write – lol)

* Me learning "decopagem" (Im not sure how that's called in English) with my cousin Anna

* I was taking picures during all steps... paint... added the picture...
