Birthday shopping!

Bachi took Rocco to Toys"R"us to choose

a birthday present for himself.

Of course he went straight to the military

toy section and looked at everything forever!

He's so serious about making a decision.

Mohawks

 Crazy hair day at school!!!

Aidan came over to do his hair with Rocco.

Thanks Uncle G for the hair product,

those mohawks wouldn't budge!

Rocco did get embarrased and upset about

going to school looking like that.

Baseball training

Still doing Little Rookies and he loves it!

Where's Luca?

Just Luca and I playing hide and seek.

I wonder where he's hiding?!!

Kabuto

 Great Aunt Mary sent the boys

Japanese warrior helmets, Kabuto.

She chose each specifically for the boys,

and sent the history of the samurai they represent.

She also sent some children's book about Japanese culture.

Such nice gifts to remind them of their Japanese heritage.

Off to Scottsdale, Arizona just the four of us!

Such a cowboy.

So proud of his treasure!

Meeting the Arizona Roughriders after a performance.

The boys loved the shows!

What a great day.

 

It's 108 and he's freezing!

 Loving the water slide! He would set a
goal each day for the number of times he'd
go down.  He went 17 times in a row one day!

 Attempting to have some relaxing time in the room.
Luca always trying to wrestle!

So excited to drive on his own!  He and another
boy got competitive and had a serious race.

 Luca learning to do miniature golf.

We had a great vacation!!!
