happy father's day!

"Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad."

Here is Rob with Noah at about 6 weeks.

Rob with Caleb, just moments after his birth.

My Daddy and I on my wedding day.

Sharing a wonderful dance (to "The Way You Look Tonight") with my dear Grandpa, also at my wedding (did the dress give it away?)

My Dad with his first Grandson a few years ago.

And here's Rob's dad (did I mention he's also the best father-in-law ever?), on his first Father's Day as a grandpa, in 2007.

To all the wonderful dad's out there, especially my dad, my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and my amazing and wonderful husband, Rob, thanks so much for all you do!

sweet emilia rose!

I took a trip to Illinois to visit with my grandparents, and got the pleasure of finally meeting Emilia Rose Viso. Her mommy, Carrie, and I have been best friends for the last 15 (!!!) years! I was so excited to be able to see her and snuggle up with a 3 month old again! She seems like such a good baby, and so gorgeous!

Smooches from her Aunt Laur

Looking very serious during her bath!

I got to "skype" with the boys while I was with Carrie, Mark, and Emilia. Caleb was so excited to see a baby on the screen! When I handed her back over to Carrie, Caleb started to cry, so she just sat with me, also fascinated with watching the boys. It was so cute! They're friends already!

mmm....

June 4th was National Doughnut Day! We celebrated with a special Krispy Kreme breakfast! Yummy!

pizza picnic and bmx

We went to Arvada to bring Noah to the "dirt jumps" that Rob grew up riding his bike on. But first, we stopped for our favorite pizza (in Colorado, that is), at Randi's. We decided to get it to go, and have a picnic in the back of Rob's truck. The boys thought that this was really cool. Noah has asked a few times since if we can have another "pizza picnic".

Getting ready to ride.

My biggest kid, catching some air!

A future BMX'er like his dad?

Of course he was upset that he couldn't get in on the action, but he was fairly content watching from the sidelines with another piece of pizza!

So proud of his bike skills!

I could kiss him all day long, he's so sweet!
