Birthday Bash part 1...and random stuff

Sunday, September 9, 2012.

Luca is 8 today!!!

My parents gifted Luca with a much coveted Remote Control Boat.  Dillon has had one for a couple of  years and Luca has pined after it for all that time.  So now that he is the BIG 8 he has one of his own.

Luca getting ready for the maiden voyage.


A little duck that kept visiting us while we were driving boats.

Brent's place loves to honor all birthday's so they sent Luca this pile of gifts, a beautiful professionally decorated cake, and a couple of balloons.  This was all left in the apartment on our table and when we got home friday evening after dinner, boy was he surprised!!
Luca's Brent's Place birthday surprise
Dillon and I enjoy sports cars....so when we saw this custom Porche we just had to share it with you....



Speaking of dinner on friday evening.....we went to a Mexican restaurant that I had gone to a few times as a child.  It is called Casa Bonita and they have high divers inside the restaurant.  They put on little skits and dive off of these rocks and into a sparkling pool down below all throughout your meal.  Not the best Mexican food....but certainly fun and full of memories. 

The boys are on the bridge behind the waterfall...can you see them?

The boys are asked COUNTLESS times everywhere we go if they are twins!!!  It is now a huge joke

The diving pool.
One last topic.....Dillon wanted everyone to see the markings on his body that is his prep for radiation...which begins Tuesday.  See his lungs all marked out?  They actually make these lead lung-shaped blocks that protect his lungs from receiving too much radiation.  You cannot see them very well but covering all of that marker are these little circle stickers that are supposed to protect the marker from coming of on clothing or in the shower....he has about 70 stickers on his body....they itch, they cause a rash under each spot, and he really really hates them.  He will have them on for a week and will be able to remove them on Thursday afternoon....he is anxious for that because he is very uncomfortable with the itchiness and irritation. 

The front.....

The back.....

  1. Interesting tattoo work Dillon. I'm glad they are temporary though! Looks like Luca got a special birthday too! That's a really interesting mexican food place, never heard of cliff diving in a restaurant either. Love and prayers coming your way...Aunt Marilyn
