Yesterday we went to Center Island with the whole Martins' clan for a picnic..It turned out to be a very nice day..There was a little thing called Wake stock on the island with bands and wave surfers. So all kinds of teenagers walking around with their shirts off, Mostly male.

Sophia's Baptism

Here Sophia's in her after church dress...

Sophia in her Baptism dress..Please note this is Carolyn's dress when she got Baptised 34/years ago.

The basement that I slaved day and night to get done by Baptism day...

This was the set up for the Baptism, We had 28 guests and a whole Lotta food. All went well ! The day was lovely the setting was perfect. The basement wasn't 100% done but did look good. Sophia looked like a little princes and her big brother was at his best behavior. We took more pictures with the other camera as Carolyn prefers that one not sure why. Haven't blogged in awhile too busy with the Reno's...

Cheers,

Wonderland

Went to wonderland yesterday..

Carolyn and Nikolas on a Dora ride...

Nikolas with his dog Blue..

Fast and the Furious. Nikolas and I are in the go kart. There was a little kid in front of me that wouldn't let me pass. I got a little road rage in me and tryed bumping him out of the way, but failed to do so cause it's a bad example to Nikolas . So instead I got Nikolas to give him the finger. Not!

It was a good time; it's all about our kids. I remember a time when it was all about me.

Sorry no pictures of Sophia as she did go, but slept most of the time in the stroller.

Going to do some gardening today and take Nikolas to the park this afternoon...

Over and out...

Carlos,

Sophia, Has a girlfriend her name is MacKenzie she's a couple of months old , Sophie looks huge beside her.

It's going on two months since I quit smoking, cool ! Nikolas is going to his first girl birthday party on Sunday afternoon..

Over and out...

The Mirage, Pretty simple hotel.

This is at the Venetian hotel , the guy above is real deal.

This one is called New York, New York ..You think !

Myself with Siegfried & Roy.

The main strip early Saturday Morning....Las Vegas Blvd

The MGM Grand which was just outside our bedroom window.....Did i mention we stayed at Hooters..

Caesars Palace with good old Canadian gal Celine Dion on the billboard..Oui oui...


Went with money came back broke, Did pick up the Kiss perfume & cologne well worth it :)

It is a beautiful place, Nice and clean also. Did allot of walking, I would go back but next time with my wife and maybe kids. I was a little upset that it took 4 1/2 hours to get there and 4 hours to get back. We got to the airport late and almost missed the plane , Reason was that the booze was

free at the Hooters casino at the airport we have to pay.

All is good with the family !!
