Las Vegas Febuary 2010

so here is the famous sign about a mile and a half south of our Hotel. We walked there, it seemed just a block not much but turned out a little more!



here are some foutains by our hotel, it was nice to walk by it everytime we had to leave or arrive.



This is in front of the Venitian one of my favorite place.



These guys are awsome, they where so cool to let us take this picture

Again at the Venitian, but inside buy the front balcony.

Here is a good view of our place!

no luck for us, these machine where starving!

One of our favorite moment was visiting Red Rock Canyon, the views where breathtaking even if it rained, and snowed!

We had a good time, Francois was busy with his lectures during the day. But in the evenings we had a few shows to go to, walking a ton and eating some of the best food ever.

We got to talk a lot without interruption, read, sit by the pool, listen to music, watch the Olympic and even the wonderful final hockey game on the airplane as we where coming back home!

I have lots more pictures but they are frozen on my other memory card! So when we get that taken care of I should post some more fun pictures.

Here is the new toy we got from our recent trip to Las Vegas. It is one of those mini video camera. Francois was the lucky winner from his conference, and he had just told me that he would be getting one for him to do work videos and that it would be handy at home. So there FREE is even better.

So I have a little testing video of Xavier not doing much but I thought it would be fun to try it. He is cruising along so well now, it is amasing to see what 2 weeks can do of walking!

Valentine

here is my last photo shoot of my kids! They grow up way too fast. It was lots of fun to do these picture early on a sunny Sunday morning. I had lots of fun with Olivia this time as she is normally my more difficult subject and Julien who is the easiest was my more challenging one as he could not keep his eyes open really well.

I love them so much

scrapbook week end

I had the privilege to get away for a weekend and scrapbook. My favorite hobby that I don't get to do enough. It was fun to be with girlfriends and have sometime alone. I was shot of 3 pages to my goal but still I have to have fun too, can't be work.

I finished Julien's 3rd birthday which was a big goal for my and I am about to do Olivia's 2nd birthday. I am so chronological that I don't see the day when I will be caught up. Poor Xavier does not have one page done yet! Hopefully at my next get away I will work on some of his pictures too.

slime

when the winter blues or boring days come around the house, it is time for something fun. so this last week we made some slime!!!

What fun the children had mixing, kneading and now playing with this fun thing!

16 months

Xavier is growing and changing fast. He is moving faster around the house even if he is not walking on his own yet. He manages to get around by pushing a a toy or small chair, booster chair... He has 2 teeth and 3 more coming in.

With always a smile on his face is is starting to get that little brat grin. We love every moment of it and so so his brother and sister.

He can do some sign language for basic command, a few words such as mama, bye, duck.
