Lucas In California

I got home late last night from Oceanside; it was a little difficult to leave for a number of reasons. It was hard to leave because I absolutely love California, the weather, beach, surf shops, the sounds of the waves crashing at night, and Ruby’s (a burger restaurant). My flight home was interesting; I was one of thirteen passengers on the flight. Driving home from the airport I realized how much I love Arizona, I'm in love with Gilbert and the weather is to die for!!! When I got home I quickly realized the major reason why it was so difficult leaving. Becca and I have been married for almost 4 years; since we have been married we have spent every night together. It's just not the same being home without Becca and Lucas there. (I know this may sound cheesy) I spent today staring at pictures from my sister-in-laws blog. I stole some pictures from her blog for those of you who don’t know her and have access to her blog.

Hanging Out In Oceanside California!

So much has happened since our last post. We have no idea where to start, so I figured we can start new. Becca's family decided to change things up this year for vacation. Every year for the past several years the Narducci Family has vacationed in Maui, but this year because Becca and I are expecting our second child the same week the vacation was scheduled we had to relocate to Oceanside, California. I know, super sad huh? 

We are in a beautiful beach house on the beach for two weeks, it has the most amazing view. Becca and the family arrived here last week, but I have to travel back and forth because of school and work. Here are a few pictures from the trip I think many of you will enjoy.

Lucas Playing the Ukulele in the beach house. He sure does love to play his instruments with his clothes off. 

This is a picture of Lucas practicing his singing after his Ukulele.

Lucas hanging out with his smok'n hot mama at Sea Port Village in San Diego before they picked me up from the airport.

Sea World

We went to Sea World this past Friday and we had a blast.  Lucas loved Shamu.  He loved seeing the Penguins, Sea Otters, Sharks, and so much more. We stayed there for several hours until the little ones were exhausted.

Getting ready for the big Shamu Show!

Lucas's new thing is to sit on any and every ledge or seat available.

Here is our family hanging out on the Sea World Lawn. And yes it looks like Lucas is trying to give knuckles.

This is Lucas pulling up his pants after I "de-pantsed" him on the Sea World Lawn. He was laughing so there is no need to feel bad.

Our Little Surfer Child!

He loves the beach and surf shops, here are some more pictures of the little man.

Memorial Day Trash Pick UP!

Every Memorial Day weekend The whole Narducci clan goes up to our property in Vernon to clean the highway we adopted for my Papa.  Lucas was such a trooper the whole car ride up!

We all met up at the Safeway in Showlow to pick up groceries for the weekend.  They had these fun grocery carts with cars attached to the front for Natalie and Lucas to ride in.  After trying to sterilize it as much as possible, we let the munchkins enjoy the ride.

With the crazy change in weather that weekend Lucas was excited to wear his snow boots around the cabin while he was still in his pjs.

Enjoying a ride with Uncle Nick and Aunt Shalyce!

Newest Addition to the Banda Family

This is my niece little Chiara!  I know you can't even see her but it is the only picture I have right now.  She is so adorable and has the best head of hair!  I hope my little girl has this much hair.  Congratulations Sean and Erin!
