Vegas!

We went to Vegas for Mike's 40th!

We had to stop and play for an hour
in Barstow to get out some energy.





















Luca was in awe! All of the lights,
noise, commotion...he's never sat
so well in his stroller!
















Jayce & Ava were there too!




















Wow, the kids are having a good time!
Cartwheels, somersaults, energetic craziness!






















































Fun at the arcade.




















Vacation = lots of junk food!




















Just walking down the strip was
awesome. We saw Bumblebee,
Sponge Bob, tons of other cartoon
characters, real snakes, a bagpipe
player, etc.

M & M store. Left with a big
bag of our favorite M & M's!

Gardens at Bellagio. Beautiful as always.
The boys liked the dragons, they moved
and steam would come out of their noses!


































World's largest chocolate fountain.

Went shopping and got some new hats.
Rocco picked out his own and wore it
the rest of the weekend and for a few
days after we got home. He's got his
own sense of style now.

Jayce & Rocco got matching

Darth Vader watches! Jaycee (what
Rocco calls Jayce) is Rocco's best friend.

The boys had sooo much fun in Vegas!
Rocco keeps asking to go back!

Ready for Easter

Shopping at Target. Had to get these
bunny ears. He wore them through the
store (because he didn't know they
were on his head).

Luca

Getting a few head shots for his birthday invite.

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.
