Playdate with Aidan

One of Rocco's best buddies at school,
Aidan came to play!

Guido got a Hair Cut!

Luca's first haircut at a salon.

The Crawler

Luca is all of the place with his funny,
one legged crawl.

Luca Loves Sushi!

Dog Beach & Train Station

Naoya at dog beach.

Farewell! We will visit in Tokyo someday!

Auntie Budge

Zoo with Naoya

Naoya, a relative from Japan, visited us for a
few days. He really wanted to go to the zoo.
We had a good time!

Ronnie came too!

Look at Luca. I think he's comfortable.

This hippo came right up to the glass
and yawned! We often reference his
teeth as an example of what happens
when we don't brush! And to add to
the excitement he pooped in front of
Rocco. Yes, we are still fascinated
with hippo poop. Boys.

The Cape

Seeing how much his new cape Great-Grandma
made him, will flap if he's going fast on his bike.

Luca LOVES Great-Grandpa George!

Art Soup with the Dekens

Lots of fun with the Dekens at Art Soup!

Box Fort with Lights!

We drilled holes in a big box then
added Christmas lights. Fun to make
and play in (thanks pinterest)!

Luca helped.

Pancake Breakfast with The Dekens

It's always fun to meet up with the Deken family
at the church pancake breakfasts.

Oregon

Great-Grandma, Budgie, Luca,
Rocco & I went to Ashland.

Rocco was sooo excited to go to the snow!

He talked about taking his trucks to the snow
for days. He also thought his tiger would like
the snow.

Sledding with Auntie Gena!

Luca was interested but got over being cold quickly.

Snow angels!

Lots of snowball fights!

Our tiny snowman.

Luca and Great-Grandma waited in the warm car.

Feeding the ducks at Lithia Park.

Rocco LOVES Uncle Ken! He was standing
next to him, waiting for him to finish his dinner
so they could get their flashlights and go
exploring outside in the dark!

Day 2 at the snow. We went to Mt. Ashland so
Rocco could play in the snow and Luca could
stay in the warm lodge. He did a little sledding first.

Luckily Rocco made friends and had much more
fun playing in the snow than with all of us ;)

Hot chocolate always tastes so good
after a day in the snow!

The last day Rocco was brave enough to get on
a horse. They were so big and intimidating he
wouldn't even touch them at first.

Rocco loves Mr. T and talks about him all
time . Next time he will be ready to do a
little riding with Cousin Meme.

Throwing hay down from the loft in the barn
to feed the horses. Rocco loves this kind of work!

Went to Science Works to play.

Inside a bubble.
