June is such as busy month for our family We celebrate not only Father's Day, but mom's, Cassi's (my wife's little sister), and my brother Diego's birthday as well. So we get a lot of family time. We first celebrated mom's b-day by going out for dinner. The pizzas was yummy, with delicious fresh vegetables.
