Friday Fun Days

I love watching my boys walk to baseball games.  I was too slow with the camera, but Cody was "helping" Ryan carry his bag.  It was even cuter.  But this photo is still pretty cute.

 During the summer I try to take my kids somewhere fun every Friday.  We call it "Friday Fun Day".  We went to Camel's Back Park, which is my favorite "hidden" park.

 Last week for "Friday Fun Day" I took my kids to a lake to play.  Cody loved collecting feathers.

 Kids, where they belong...

 We made s'mores for fun on Friday night.

 The kids found this beautiful bird in our front yard.  They took a ton of pictures and even a video of it.

 Here is the only picture I took of Ryan on Father's Day.  I guess I was too busy trying to do nice things for him that I didn't get any photos.  But he is the world's best father and deserves to have nice things done for him.

Brandon's Baptism

On memorial day we spent the entire day outside.  One of the things we did was play wiffle ball at the park.

 Aunt Lissa came to visit for Brandon's baptism.  Kathleen loves her so much.

 Brandon opening gifts.  He was so excited and got so many.  Spoiled kid, I tell you.

 He got a Portuguese Hymn Book.  Oh man he was excited (I know, it is kind of a weird thing for a kid to want).  So Ryan played the piano and Brandon sang to us in Portuguese.

 What do you get when you mix tether ball with a hula hoop?  A new fun game!

 The pool is finally open.  And yes, it was in the 60s that first day.  And yes, the kids still went swimming.  And yes, I include Ryan in the category with the kids.

 My little ballerina had her dance recital the same day Brandon got baptized.

 Pompa made Brandon a baptism book.  Grammy helped him work on it.  They had a ton of fun doing it together.

 

 Brandon and his best friend got baptized together.

 I let Brandon pick out his own cake.  And this is what he got:
