Josiah's 7th Birthday!

So this post is LATE... clearly... HAHA, but Josiah turned 7 last month and I wanted to share some adorable pictures. :) Daddy took him and his "best buddies" down to the harbor and science center. They all HAD A BLAST from what I can see and what I heard!

All the kids at the science center being archaeologists... :)

...and being baby dinosaurs in eggs! haha

Aaaaaannnnd now we know this dinosaur could've eaten them all up... at once! ;)

After their day at the science center (this was a few days before Josiah's actually birthday) they came home to have dinner and celebrate with the rest of the families...

Josiah's SILLY face cupcakes, he made the faces- I stuck them in! ;)

Opening presents happily from his buddies! 

Josiah was spoiled on his ACTUAL birthday too a few days later by some friends of ours! We had a fun playdate at their house and then had dinner with Grandpa and Grandma. It was a great day! He had the "day off" school for his birthday, and this is how he chose to spend all that extra time.... 

Haha, the boy loves to read!! :)

Birthday Morning- pictures of his cake for later that day! :) 

At our friend Maria's house...

Playing outside! 

Benjamin couldn't get enough of these binoculars... 

Lydia and Maria BUG HUNTING!! :)

Grandma and Grandpa and Josiah :) 

Henry-- silly baby! :) 

Father's Day 2013

For Father's Day this year we took our two favorite Dad's down to the park and had a picnic, did a little "fishing" (I use this term loosely...you'll see why! haha) and generally just enjoyed our day together. We cherish these wonderful men in our lives, and all they do for us. Daddy and Grandpa- we love you so much! :) Here's some precious moments from our day together...

Henry and Grandpa SNUGGLES...

 Playing on the playground!! :)

 Daddy and his Boys!

Daddy and ALL 5 of his babies! :)

Grandpa caught a tiny fish, then said hey kids look let's fish... oh you caught one! haha ;)

Grandpa and Josiah with "his" fish...

 feeding the ducks... and grandpa walks to the other side of the dock...with the same fish still on the line... (LOL) ...

Then calls over Lydia- look Lyddie! You caught a fish!! haha. She's like, Um... cool. OK :)

Threw back in the pole- with THE SAME (poor little) fish... then told Ben to come try...

HAHA! LOVE that face, he was SO excited he "caught a fish!" Adorable. 

Grandpa and Ben with his "fish" :)

Lydia's Ballet Recital! June 2013

Lydia had her first Ballet recital... age 4... June 2013. Boy do I love that this blog can count as a journal/scrapbook, hey kids! want to know when that momentous occasion happened in your little young lives? Go check the blog! LOL... Anyway...

She was adorable and did just great! Didn't get stage fright and did well up there with her little Winnie the Pooh and tigger dance. Boy are those girls cute! She also handed her teacher her flowers at the end of her recital which was really adorable... We are so proud of our little girl!
