We went over to Fran and Mikes for endless entertainment... Lukas was exhausted from all of the water fun so after we ate I took him over to my dad's and put him to sleep. We just hung out played games and laughed.

4th of July Part One

Gabe

Thomas

Adie and Jessica

This was probably the best 4th of July ever. We had so much fun. The day started out with me going to work and Gabe and Lukas getting an early start over at my mom's on the boat. I was worried Lukas wasn't going to like the boat but he did and he even took a little nap. I thought I wasn't going to be able to go out on the boat, but they decided to go out again in the early afternoon. So after lounging around in the pool for a couple of hours we went cruising and tubing out on the lake. What a blast. Today I am definitely feeling it though, my arms are so sore. Lukas is still a little tired from everything we did yesterday and I think he is teething because he is super fussy. After the lake we hung out in the pool for a little longer and then I headed home to bake a cake for 4th of July Part Two.

Swimming at Aunt Adie's Pool

What a wonderful Day! We started out by having a lovely lunch with Dad and Linda to celebrate father's day and then we put our suits on and headed to the pool. Lunch was delicious, we had turkey burgers, home fries, and fruit salad. Oh and some chocolate cake, which I don't mean to brag or anything but I made it from scratch and it was soo soo good. The pool was really quiet and nice. Lukas fell asleep almost as soon as we got there, and slept on the raft for and hour while we played in the pool. We had a lot of fun.

Alans 50th Birthday Party

Tonight we had the pleasure of attending Alan's Surprise 50th Birthday Party! Most of the night we got to hang out with Aunt Adie and Uncle Thomas. It was a lot of fun catching up with them. I got to take a lot of cute pictures of Lukie. The night was kind of uneventful so I don't really have anything else to share with you other than these really cute pictures. Enjoy.

P.S. I got my license in the mail today! Super Exciting!

Playing with Sweden

I went over to my dad's this morning to pick up my cell phone which I left over there by mistake and boy was it a mistake. Yesterday I was holding Lukas out on the porch and petting Sweden when I dropped it. My hands where full so I decided I would just pick it up on my way back inside. I forgot all about it and left it there. Well I guess by calling it several times trying to find it, it got Sweden's attention and she picked it up. Last night when I had finally remembered what had happened I called Aaron, because he is watching my parents house while they are abroad and told him to go get it. It was in pieces he said but thankfully all the pieces where there and he put it back together. So anyway glad that my phone was still intact we played with Sweden this morning in the back yard. I threw the Frisbee for her several times until she was worn out. Lukas is so amused by her and gets so tickled when we pet her. She is such a sweet dog and she is so good about not walking all over him or scaring him. We had fun. Here are some pictures of us throwing the Frisbee for her, which she loves and if you don't cut her off she will run herself to death. I can only imagine her mind is just going Frisbee,Frisbee,Frisbee...throw the Frisbee.

Playing on the Bed

Probably one of Lukas's favorite things to do is play on our bed. I don't know why but he loves crawling and now walking on the bed. We of course are always on the bed with him and he has never fallen off. He loves to crawl to the edge and lay on his stomach and pick things up off our night stand. It is so cute to see how tickled he gets when he grabs something he knows he isn't supposed to. Here are just a few picks of us playing on the bed. You would thing that we would like doing this but it is a lot of work making sure he stays safe. So as soon as he starts getting overly curious we go play some where else.

Lukas's First Birthday Party!

What a fun filled day! We had such a good time with all of our Birthday guests. Little Lukas was right in the middle of a schedule change though. I had tried to schedule it after his morning nap and before his afternoon nap, but he was in the process of changing his sleeping schedule to one nap a day right around 12-1. The kids however had a blast in the pool and we had a wonderful lunch consisting of fresh fruit and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers. Yummy. Lukas didn't go swimming but enjoyed being held by his grandparents. That boy is 100% attention all the time. We don't mind though because he so darn cute. Not to mention hilarious. Some of the stuff he does will keep you laughing all day. Although he was tired there was one part of his party he is sure glad he didn't miss, his delicious cup cake! He loved it! We all enjoyed watching him eat it to. He was licking and smacking his lips like there was no tomorrow. I am so blessed to have such good friends and family. We had a really nice time. Thank you to all who participated!

May 10,2009 Swimming at Nana's

Let me back track a little bit. This is the first time Lukas went "swimming". I put swimming in quotations because although we where infront of my mom's pool and it was the first time Lukas got in a pool, he did not like swimming. He was 100% satisfied sitting on this chair drinking his water and eating his snack. He looked like a little prospector. Observing everything around him. The birds and trees moving where so fascinating to him. We had such a good time watching him take everything in. Most of his development had been inside since of the chilly winter months, but now we are starting to notice how much he loves being outside. It took him a while to get used to grass. He didn't want anything to do with it. The moment he would step foot in it he would cry. Now he will sit, stand, and try to walk through it. Needless to say I think we are going to have a fun summer exploring the outdoors.

It has been a long time

I can't believe I have neglected the blog for this long. I think about how much I need to post more entries often but it slips away with how busy things have been around here. Since the last time I wrote Lukas has turned one and had a wonderful Birthday Party! I finished School and I am taking my Practical Test tomorrow! A little nervous but I think I am going to do just fine. I will update the past soon and post pictures as soon as I find my camera.

Weekend at Grandparents!

I don't think Lukas could have had any more fun than he did this weekend. He did not want to leave. He cried the whole way home, but that could have also been related to the fact that he doesn't sleep when he is at his grandparents either. He just plays, plays, plays non stop with his grandpa. He loves his ball. Right now that is the only thing he is interested in playing with. He doesn't care about anything else but that ball. Needless to say I think we had a pretty good time. It is so nice out there, with the cool breeze and birds chirping or roosters crowing I should say. The neighbors have goats, and all sorts of birds. Probably the biggest turkey I have ever seen. I know we'll be back soon. Lost of Fun.

Kleenex

Is it not amazing how fast they can get into things. I leave the room for just a minute and I come back and the Kleenex are all over the floor. All though it can be frustrating at times I think it is best to just laugh it off. He was having so much fun with it after all.

I hate to say the reason the Kleenex where out is because I to have gotten the dreaded cold. I have this really bad cough that hurts so bad and my throat is all scratchy. It is just wonderfully miserable. I hope Lukas and I get better soon because this stuff just plain sucks. I hope everyone enojoyed the video and got a good laugh. He is so cute.

Easter Sunday

What a long weekend! I think I might have committed to do to much. I baked a lot and everything turned out really good but now my kitchen is a disaster. I made these cute Cupcakes for my sister and Thomas's Party on Saturday and this egg casserole for Sunday school today. Poor Lukas has been really good about all the driving around and not being able to explore. He has also had this really bad cough and it wakes him up at night. I took him to the Dr. and of course when we got there his chest had cleared and he seemed as though nothing was wrong. He is still sick though. I hope he feels better soon. Time to start a new week and get organized.

This is Lukas when he was 5 and a half months old. He has always been cute. From the moment he was born he has always just been beautiful. I know your saying well your his mom and of course you thought he was the most amazing thing when he was born but he truly has always been this adorable.

My first entry!

I think this is going to be fun. I am going to post updates on what our family is up to for everyone to see. I will post pictures and events that are important to us. I hope everyone will enjoy what I am creating. This is exciting.
