CHIPS OFF THE OLD BLOCKS: papa/son day

sunday, august 15, 2010.

today was another PAPA SON DAY. i love that joshua chooses to spend so much time with the boys. it's always a weird adjustment when he goes back to work. in years prior it was levi asking "where's papa" everyday, but now abraham asks too!

first joshua took the boys to the phoenix children's museum after church.

i love the way joshua photographs!

i'm more point and shoot where he gets cool angles and perspectives. he's not only musically talented, he's visually talented as well. he's a true ARTIST.

two more example of why i love joshua's pics.

so cute!

looks like they had tons of fun!

***

after the museum they went "TRAIN WATCHING." abraham had fallen asleep in the car on the way to the trains and pop's said it was way to hot to get out today, so they just watched them from the comfort of the air conditioned car.

seriously, this cracks me up:)

joshua's got a thing for barbed wire and graffiti.

they did hop out to take a pic of this traveling bbq. levi thought g'pa batt would like it:)))

a little rock and roll. we plugged the guitar into the stereo speakers. the boys took turns rockin' out on their electric guitar.

levi cranking it. the stereo now reads: maximum volume.

quite the little duo.

papa took the boys to the children's museum as a sort of last hurrah before school starts back up again tomorrow. it's been awesome having joshua all to ourselves for the last two months. the boys and i are gonna miss having him around!

papa took all these super cute pics. looks like they had a fun time.
