what a great, big boy cousin lucas will be.....

Auntie Cheryl's little girl is due August 10th.....have quite a few august 10th birthdays on our calendar, would be great to add our niece!
Lucas is very sweet with babies, especially little girls. He loves to pull up auntie cheryl's shirt, get real close, say hello and here he sang go to sleep little baby.....and then he kissed her and she kicked him!!!


Oh! and then he showed us his baby in the belly!

Hoedowns 1 and 2!

I just love the mustache! great grandma looks hilarious, I mean it really fits her face! sorry grandma.






Sheri Brubaker and her painted pony Jock have been here for all three hoedowns! Thank you Sheri and Jock!

To be continued....looking for pics from #2

YeeeeeeHaw!! #3!

Lucas' 3rd annual Birthday Hoedown. A beautiful day, thankful for the raindate! we were missing a few cowfolk because of it but I think that Lucas really enjoyed his day. He was exhausted! Pony rides, bouncy house, ice cream and cupcakes, presents, friends, Ms.Angella........man! what a day!

the robin eggs have hatched! we can't get a good shot of them because we don't want to scare them or mama robin but Lucas found his Mama Robin and well you can see what he did....

Mother's Day? looks more like Lucas Day!!

We went to gigi's house for mothers day, I wish I had some photos of gigi and bubba, she really loves to see him. And so does grandma and grandpa, they almost always have a present for Lucas so much so that when he sees them he asks for his present, spoiled! and grandma and grandpa have been busting at the seams since christmas to give him this one! (we told them to hold on to this gift until spring) So needless to say, we spent some time outside teaching lucas how to drive! and grandpa gave him some engine how to's.




happy mama's day!

Spring time...Get busy time!

seems like it's true what they say about the birds and the bees, our backyard is like watching the nature channel! A nest of carpenter bees, robin eggs, the chubby groundhog has emerged and these cuties.
Nope, the robins are still in their beautiful blue eggs, these are some some other mama's babies! Three baby sparrows hopping around our yard yesterday. One of them found their way to this big tree branch, called for mama, chowed down, and then kinda looked like hey where did everybody go. Super cute, bubba was very funny, he said "awww, da baby buurd is sooo cute! shhhh...be bery quiet."

Lady Robin...

...has made a home right outside our dining room window! Lucas is sooo excited to see the baby birds and I just love those beautiful blue eggs. We check on her everyday(we only discovered her yesterday) a few times during the day. Lucas also offered his nest full of chicks as company or as he said, friends for mama robin and her eggs. So sweet!

Reunited.......

......with our friends and old neighbors Josh, Lydia and their adorable children Oscar, Kate, and Caroline. Lucas became fast friends with Oscar and the girls, BFF's. It was so much fun to hang with Josh and Lydia again, and so wild to have our kids meet each other!
we hit the town Carnival, the beach and the boy scout's tag sale. Good times







a pretty funny moment for all of us on the way home from the beach........A super sized poodle photo shoot? check out the photographer's hair rollers! you know what they say about dogs and their owners.....

Bugs? where? up there? I'll save them!

get your motor running.....

looking for an adventure.......

Cars and Dirt, gotta love being a boy!

how much is that puppy in the window?

A pit stop to avoid an after school traffic meltdown.....and he was so happy to see us, they were all so happy to see us. Lucas was pretty giggly as well. He was a super duper chewy toy for these cuties. I wish we could..... but someone else will give these pups a great home and as for us...... we're gonna wait until lucas figures out the pooper scooper!

our little dead head

last year at this time of year.....


Louie just sent this to me from what he is calling "his secret stash". Give em up daddy, we want to see more!
