Las Vegas trip July 2010

Decker and i went to Vegas the weekend before I was to fly to Missouri for more Continuing Education training. First stop Michelle's:
Decker loves dogs and Murphy, their Golden Retriever loved him and gave him tons of kisses. Michelle and Steve
He was also very interested in her turtle and kept going back to take a look
Gotta get exercise in for the dayI love this picture of mom, me and Michelle and my grandma---in the painting on the wallSince we were in heat that was over 100 degrees everyday, we went swimming a few times at my brother's and sister's places. Decker warmed up to the swimming by the 2nd visit and when he discovered he could swim on his own using his arm floats, he no longer clung for dear life to Mike or me. FREEDOM!! ;)
Watch the video below to see his cute little legs kicking away and how happy and proud he is when he gets to the side of the pool! So cute!
Ready to go "WIMMING"!



Four Cousins
After swimming for many hours = tired kids... Mom was going to watch Decker for a few days while I was in Missouri and in addition to this little 2 year old, she got to watch my neice, Abigail who is 6 weeks old. Tell me this isn't good practice for Decker. He enjoyed helping feed her with the bottle.

Walking to church on Sunday with Uncle Mike and cousin Breez

We tried to take a family picture...but didn't succeed in getting one where all of us smiled...Decker was pretty ready for a nap. I think he's so cute anyways.


Pepper was an object of Decker's affection. She was such a sport, she took all his love and naming and pointing out all of her body parts like a pro...of course he fed her way too many doggie cookies! ;)

Decker watching his Favorite: TOY STORY! Grandpa said, I know what Decker wants to name his little brother---Buzz or Woody! :)
Decker also adored his older cousins...Breez and Isabelle
Sometimes, he was the odd man out and would just have to watch them play...
Does this look familiar? He does this at home with our refrigerator doors..the little Spiderman!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for playing with us for the week!
Just the boys...

Tomatos, Tomatos, Tomatos

We bought some tomato plants off the side of the road. 3 different varieties. We got some great chicken manure. Decker liked helping dad load it off the truck. Such a big help! (See video below.)
