Picking Blackberries and Aden's Party

We checked on our garden and the kids picked some wild blackberries at Nana Jo's

 Aden's birthday was at Westside Pool where Nicolae had been the week before with his summer camp. He'd been telling Gabriel all about it and how he goes down the slide and off the diving boards. I took my nice camera since they all seemed like they were excited to jump off the boards and my battery was dead! But here's Gabriel taking a leap. Oli even jumped off a couple times

Donuts for Dads and Awards

Nicolae had a Donuts for Dads party for Father's Day at his school, followed by their award ceremony (for attendance, learning sounds and reading). Nicolae had asked me a couple times the day before if Scott could come with him to get donuts, so I had him ask Scott when he woke for school. Nicolae really wanted him there so Scott drove him to school for donuts and I met them there later for the awards. As we were watching the awards, Gabriel asked me if Nicolae was going to say, "My name is Nicolae Johnson" (like he did for his play)

The Lizard Whisperer

Lana named him the lizard whisperer. He's caught 3 total so far. He went after them at the pool while Oli was in lessons. Lana noticed he snuck up on them and just grabbed them; they never tried to run away

Nicolae

Nicolae is almost done with Kindergarten! He had a carnival at his school a couple weeks ago

He is pretty silly sometimes. Still very opinionated and stubborn. Still dislikes the abstract

He loves superheros
