Summer is coming!! YEAH

We cooked out this evening on the deck tonight and it was great! Summer is definitely right around the corner, and we are so glad! Lucas had a blast playing on the deck with the bubble machine while Justin and I relaxed. It is so fun to watch him, so energetic and full of life! What a wonderful time we have together as a family. I am so blessed to have these wonderful boys in my life!

EASTER FUN!

We have had the chance to do a few Easter Egg hunts and other festivities. Lucas is so fun this year and has really gotten into the Egg Hunting spirit. He seems to becoming more and more articulate everyday which is wonderful!!! He loves to tell me stories about his day, and he is always creating fun stories and new songs to sing to me that he has made up!! The boy is very creative...the sillier the song, the more he likes it!! We are continuing to work on his phonics and he is beginning to read simple words and books!! I am very excited about that. He LOVES books. His new favorite place to go is the library. We got him his VERY OWN library card the other day, and he thought that was really cool!!! He gets to check out his own books. So fun!!!

HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD EASTER EGG HUNT!

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!!! We were fortunate to go to Mardi Gras two years ago and have been so homesick for it ever since!! Every year on Mardi Gras we eat Cajun cuisine. This year was no different!! We went to Copeland's which had an wonderful plate of Red Beans and Rice...YUMMY!! Such a fun time. Of course I brought the celebratory Mardi Gras beads!! Super fun and Lucas had a blast!!

Addiction Starts Early...

So I have brought Lucas into my world of addiction...Yes I admit I have a problem...I am a fool for $4 coffees...Ugh...And well, Lucas has jumped on board with me. Before you begin judging me, I DO NOT let him drink coffee...It is Hot Chocolate of course...and he is addicted!! YUMMY!

Been a long time...

It has been a long time since my last post! 2009 has been hectic, although good. We are doing well and have had a good 2009 so far. Lucas has been healthy and luckily we haven't had to deal with Pneumonia or many other lung ailments that Lucas has been prone to during the winter months. Now we are just patiently waiting for spring to come. However, in the meantime, here are a few pictures of Lucas that I took recently. His looks have definitely changed. We recently got his hair cut pretty short, and the curls are mostly gone. However, it does still try to curl on the top!! so Cute! I swear he is growing several inches every week!!! My sweet baby is gone. He told me the other day he wants to start calling me "mom" instead of "mommy." Oh crap!! Is this for real??

It's a Wonderful Life

We had such a wonderful Christmas at mom and dad's house last week. Lucas was really excited about all the elements of the season this year! He and I made reindeer food to put out on the lawn on Christmas Eve as well as made Christmas cookies for Santa!! Lucas got a lot of fun things from Santa including a train table (his favorite), a dog robot, and a speed racer race track. Here are some pictures from our wonderful trip!!

This is my brother Lloyd, whom I love dearly!!! Lucas thinks he world of him too!!
