Carlsbad flower fields with friends

 Zane, James, and Rocco waving at the passing tractor.

 Silly boys!

 Funny faces!

 Running through the sweet pea maze!

 Hot dog on a stick afterward!

At swim with Keenan

Watching Uncle Joe Skateboard

 He would have sat there all day focusing

on what everyone's doing.  I love watching

him take it all in.

Cowboy

 "We are cool guys like the guys on t.v."

Rocco has a thing for having a zip tie hanging out

of his mouth.  He has, "different colors for different

days."  Little cowboy.  Of course Luca is copying him.

Pancake breakfast

 Fun times with the Deken family

at the pancake breakfast.

Finally understands we are coming home!

Went to Domenica's dissertation defense party.

Budgie babysat.  Luca started asking where we were

and Rocco told him a birthday party but we would be 

back.  Luca understood and was great all evening!  

No tears!  He fell asleep on Budgie!  So exciting!

Practicing on his bike

 Tongue out means he's concentrating.

Figuring out how the balance bike works.

Sushi

A plate full of salmon nigiri to himself!

Rocco & Aidan's swim lesson

 Finally back to swim lessons.

This time with Aidan as a partner!!!

Luca's first swim lesson

 Luca's first swim lesson.  He loves it!

Friends at our house

Had some friends over.  Too much movement

to get a good picture.  The action never stopped!

Tantrum

Dad sent a text with a link to a site where a little boy is

having tantrums all the time.  He asked if I rememberd

those days.  So I took a picture of what was going on 

at that moment at home. 

Typing

He likes practicing letters and typing words on the

computer.  He's so proud of typing his friend's name.

Messing with Dad

 Bugging Dad while playing Candyland...

 enjoying that he's irritated and copying him...

they think they're so funny!  Daddy is covering his 

face because he's saying no yet cracking up at the same time!

Ride in the Roadrunner

Del Mar car show

 Rocco has his binoculars watching the track.

 Luca loves Budgie.

We call this the "Popeye cry."

It's a really fake cry.

San Diego Safari Park with cousin Christopher

In the driveway

 So excited to see Papa's car in the driveway!

He's quite proud of his ouch.

He was going way too fast around a

corner on his scooter and crashed pretty hard.

Skateboarding

 I ran over his bike in the driveway so he's

practicing skateboarding until we get a new one :(

Another day at the park

 Silly big boys.

The tired little guys.
