Happy Daddy's Day!!!

As everyone knows, yesterday was Happy Daddy's Day!!!! Me & my boys had a relaxing but fun day. We decided to take our dogs to the pond to see how Tucker would do swimming- since we've never taken him before. (He's 9 months old now.) Kayla is an excellent swimmer, but Tucker is kinda a wimp! We'll have to work with him.

Then, I decided I was going to take a nice picture of my two little boys by a tree. Yeah, that was a dumb thought! Joshua was, of course, wonderful. However, Dawson seriously thinks he is the funniest thing in the entire world & refused to act normal for the pictures (as usual). He just makes tons of different goofy faces. What a nerd he is!!!

On the bridge focusing on their dad, not me.

The celebration boy!!!

They're all throwing rocks & sticks in the pond trying to get Tucker to jump in.

Tucker is literally trying to wrap his arms around Kayla for support.

Look at Kayla go- Tucker just kinda watches.

This picture would've been great if Dawson would've looked at me.

Dawson's tounge...lovely.

Yes Dawson, you're silly!

Okay Dawson, you win! Mommy gives up!

Ha! I caught him off-guard! Not smiling, but no funny faces either!

My boys...they are the cutest, funniest, and weirdest boys, but I sure do love them all!

Balloon-a-Vista...

Every year Buena Vista has a festival called Balloon-a-Vista! They bring in a lot of hot air balloons and fly them and have some fun crafts and weekend activities. I can't say that me or my family ever really partake in the activities the weekend offers. However, the area they fly the ballons just happens to be right next to our new house. So, the below pictures are what I took from our backyard.

Joshua's Pre-school Graduation...

On May 15th Joshua Michael graduated from pre-school!!! Yay for him! We went to Canon for the event, and he was so cute. The pictures of the actual ceremony didn't come out too well. I blame the black curtains because Joshua's mom had the same problem with her camera. But below is what we got. Then we went to Joshua's Grandparent's house for a party. Dawson had such a fun time playing with Joshua's cousins- especailly Reese who he now wants as a big sister!!! Joshua is such a big boy..........

There's our boy! His mom & I tried to get him to smile- but no!

I took this picture because I liked to monkey!! Joshua's teacher, Ms. Liz, is the one holding the microphone. Very nice lady.

Yes, we got a smile!!!

Racing.....

Mother's Day weekend every year is the Temple Canyon (in Canon City) Hill Climb that Daniel participates in. Leave it to a mostly-men's sport to always schedule itself on a woman's weekend! Anyways, we always have a wonderful time there....it's exhausting as hell, but fun also! Saturday the weather was horrible but Sunday it was hotttt! Daniel took first in his class & second overall!!! He did great!!!

All the boys working on the truck so it's ready to ride.

Dawson loves the hillclimbs, but they sure do make him tired.

Nice truck!

Daniel & Crystal (Dusty's sister) getting ready to go up.

My boys!!

Dusty & Daniel still working on it....

Yes, my son thinks he's funny!

Yep, Joshua thinks he's funny also!

The truck in action!

That's my honey driving!!!

Davian's time here.....

Okay, so here are pictures with Davian. The first pic was within the first few days he got here, and the others are his last day here. He was here for three weeks- and even though it was months ago, my son won't stop asking about him!

Davian was driving & Dawson pulled up his chair to be his passenger.. and he was obviously just getting done eating.

Oh my gosh! I'm not sure I want to claim either of them right here!

Grab the face of the one you love.

They're wrestling the way a 2 yr old & 10 yr old can.

Uncle Daniel tickling Davian & making him mad! So fun!!

Daniel wasn't quite camera ready yet!

Davian & me!

Davian's Birthday Party...

My golly I am so behind on this blog. Below is Davian's birthday party. We celebrated it in March when he was in town, but his actual birthday was in April. He's 10, and just as silly as you can imagine!!

Blowing out his candles. I wonder what he wished for!!

The birthday boy himself!!!

Uncle Wavy, aka, the birthday boy's dad!

Auntie Winky...the girlfriend of the birthday boy's dad (that sure is a mouthful!!)

He always wanted to stick his face in a pie/cake...so, his dad got him one to do so!!!

There he goes!!!

Nice work!!!!

Joshua is focusing hard.

Was the cake good, Dawson?
