Father's Day 2009

Happy Father's Day


Isaac made a Father's Day card at school.


He really is a SUPER DAD!!!


I wonder what he got


A t-shirt
it says, "Dutiful Dad, doing the dirt since 1999"
which is the year Isaac was born.


and a Ghostbusters shirt that glows in the dark...

My Paulie really is a great Dad! I'm glad he
has a good Dad that taught him well! (I'm sure
his awesome Mom had something to do with it too)

Joy's Wedding - 06/20/2009

Joy's Wedding



Scott had fun posing for pictures
at the Salt Lake Temple.











It was a long time of standing out in the cold,
but it was nice to be able to be there for Joy and Tony.

The boys had fun playing at the reception.



They even had a mini camera battle.

Scott was not happy that we took the cameras
away... but that's just part of life :)

Paul's Birthday - July 4th

We played in the pool...




It was hot so the water felt good.





Our friend Hillaury came over... poor girl

she got shot with the water guns.


They had fun with their water war.

Hillaury had a great idea...
shoot the bubbles instead of people.


Kurt (my brother) was there too...
he was nice enough to blow the bubbles.














At night we were all getting ready for bed
when we noticed we could hear fireworks.
this is a little video I recorded with the camera.
The boys talking in the background is the
best part. Especially towards the end.

I know I'm a slacker... Isaac, Kurt and I went to California in May

I'm sorry for the long delay...

While in California we went to Medieval Times, but
I forgot to bring my camera... again, I'm sorry.

We also went fishing...

We stopped at my Grandpa's house for a short visit.

Isaac and Noel at Grandpa's house...


Noel and Grandpa... I'm not sure what was funny though...


We made Grandpa sit by Kurt... but just for a minute.

To fish we cheated and went to
Mount Baldy Trout Farm...
it's the fast way to fish.

First, get a bucket...

check.

Then get your poles...

check. (don't forget your Gatorade).

Check to make sure you bait is on the hook...


and wait...


Fish got the bait...

We'll show them...

I got the fish with the pole, Isaac got him in the net...

My Dad is still waiting for his fish...

EEEEWWWW GROSS FISH!!!

Hurry, take the picture so I don't have to hold
this gross thing any more.

This is every one that went fishing... except my
Mom who is eternally behind the camera...

Now let's go home and have some fresh fish
for dinner... I'm hungry!

Actually we didn't go to straight home...
we walked around the shops at the beach...
but we didn't take any good pictures.

EASTER / GETTING READY FOR MOTHER'S DAY

EASTER MORNING
(well, at least when we celebrated Easter)


The boys were excited to go find their baskets.



We decided to use totes instead of
baskets so they were useful after Easter.




Both boys found theirs really fast.



They immediately dug into them looking for goodies.




AT NIGHT
We had a glow in the dark egg hunt.

You can't tell in the pictures, but all the eggs are dark colors
and there is a ring around them that glows when you shine
a black light on it. We had lots of fun with it.



You can see the boys flashlights in some of the pictures.



They searched everywhere.



Sometimes more than once.



Dad even had to help.



It's not as easy as it looks.





Don't tell Scott, but I see an egg behind him...



Scott really tried hard to find all the eggs.



Isaac was a little better at it, but that is
what we expected to happen.



But I think Scott had more fun.



They sure were happy boys.



Our friend Carlos even joined in on the
egg finding festivities.




GETTING READY FOR MOTHER'S DAY
We found little wood frames for the boys
to color for their Mom.

They had a lot of fun and they turned out REALLY cute.




Scott's is supposed to be a castle.



And Isaac's is baseball stuff.
I'm glad he is making the same face as he was in the picture...
