Marta and I were planning on taking the kids to Brookfield Zoo today, but the more we thought about the drama of driving there, parking, and walking to get inside, the more Cosely Zoo looked like a better choice. The kids had a blast; they really loved the animals.

Happy birthday Uncle Pat and Auntie Dana! My brother and sister share the same birthday, and they are eight years apart. My sister Dana calls her and my brother Earth twins. I have no idea what that even means but okay. Dana wasn't able to make it to lunch, but we celebrated in her honor.

So a bunch of us get together either on Tuesdays or Thursdays for a playdate, and this time, I hosted it. I brought a water table out for the kids and filled a bucket of water for them to do as they please. Maja decided she was going to go for a swim considering it was hot outside.

Yes, today I found out we were going to have baby #2. It's hard to tell by the blurred picture, but that is a positive. Don't worry, with my Type A personality, I will be taking more tests just to confirm.
Max and I decided months ago that we wanted to grow our family, but we wanted to make sure our prince was settled before we moved on. That means: Max and I needed him to be consistent with sleeping before we could even think about adding another that would be high maintainance in the sleep department.
Needless to say, we are overly excited! Although, this time around, I'm not that excited about showing off my growing belly, but I will.
So I was making lunch, and I heard Luca laughing. I went to the top of the stairs to peak at him, and he was looking and laughing at Samurai's picture book. He thinks that Samurai is the funniest thing alive.

Yes...I brought back the good ole days. I busted out the sprinkler. I know that there are all the new pools and water items for kids, but what is so wrong with the sprinkler. Number 1...he liked it. Number 2...it was easy and simple. And number 3...it kept him cool.

Today we celebrated our friends, Chris and Joelle's daughter, Izzy's, first birthday. It was nice to see old friends and their kids. The kids had a lot of fun running around, playing in the moon jump, splashing water, and throwing water balloons.

Max and I decided to take a trip to Las vegas for our 3 year anniversary. Amanda and Nick came with us. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan, which is the new hotel there. It was decorated very swanky. The first night we went to del Friscos, which is a steak restaurant. It's off the strip but well worth it. We also gambled the first night at the Bellagio hotel and celebrated Amanda's 24th birthday (wink wink) once it turned midnight. The second night we got dressed up and went to Marquee, which is the club that was in our hotel. It was really nice. They had three different areas in the club to please your music preference. The next day, Amanda and I decided to go and get a massage (highly recommend it at the Cosmopolitan). The whole massage experience there was something I never experienced before. We got to relax in this oversized hot tub until you are called to your massage. After the massage, you can rest on these lawn chair beds. We took little cat naps there. After the nap, you can take a shower and get ready. They supplied us with everything from shampoo to a blow dryer to deoderant. The last night, again, we had a nice dinner at Scarpetta, which was also in our hotel and we gambled. Overall, I gave this trip an A+!
Oh and I didn't freak out on the airplane!!!
