Happy Birthday, Big Boy!

7am~pretty impressed with his new stroller! Upon arrival to the kitchen, he noticed the stroller had a present in it! ...and a pom-pom!

Why not have a pit-stop to open up the first gift?

What's it going to be?

GASP~a new baby!

(Do you know how HARD it was to find a 'boyish' baby?)

Books! Lucky boy! He sure does like to 'read'!

As you all know by now...you have to make sure the new cars line up nicely on the couch :)

Ready for his birthday breakfast of french toast, orange, and grapes!

And now...off to the park! What a beautiful day for the park!

On his way up the fun slide...which he goes on over, and over...and over again!

There's nothing like putting your face on a dirty platform that hundreds of kids run on each day!

Buddies! Carter celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday!

Too cool for school.

So sweet!

A not-so-happy-that-he's-being-held-back-from-playing birthday boy!

After a fun time at the park, it was lunchtime....and nap-time. The trip to the park helped out with that :) Upon waking up....his 'party' began!

Pretty excited that Paige has arrived!

Getting the party started!

What kid doesn't love a balloon?

"Oooh, is that cake for ME?"

"Let me at it!!!"

"Candles!"

"Mmm, I could eat more cake!"

Showing off his cars to Grandpa

"Ooooh, more books!"

Movin' on...such a strong boy :)

Ready to open again...with his trusty assistant by his side. What a help to get him started. He was even pointing at where he'd like her to help out when needed :)

This was right before the biggest "WOW" you've ever heard! Followed by a "brrm", since it was a semi-truck/trailer.

Cruisin' again...this time, with baby!

...and now that's it's time for bed, one last ride...pant-less!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet peanut. What a great day! Thanks again to everyone! Better rest up for more birthday fun with Daddy!

Birthdays

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

I may be '2' today, but it's my 3rd 'birth' day! Enjoy the teeny glimpse of the past, and see how much I've grown! You'll have to wait longer for an official birthday post though. My Mommy is busy opening presents with me, and taking me to the park to tucker me out for my mini-party this afternoon. Unfortunately, Daddy is working today, but that's ok, Mommy told me she saved more presents for tomorrow so he can see me say "Wooooow" at everything I open :)

~Love, Lucas

My 'birth' day!

One year old!

A Rubbermaid Bin Full of Fun

A new place to play!

"Hi, Mom!"

$12.99 Transportation

It's amazing how a $12.99 package of wall decals can make a small boy sooo happy! Lucas was thrilled to bits as each one went up!

Lucas' 2nd birthday is just days away, so it's about time we put something on the walls for him! I was happy with these decals because they can be peeled off and placed elsewhere, with no damage to the walls. Now that's my kind of commitment. For those that have been to our house and wonder why we hardly have anything on the walls...I have a fear of putting holes in the walls! It's so....permanent! Hmm, I wonder where I got that from?

You'd think I said, "Give me a fake smile!"
(Notice the t-shirt, Winnipeg Grandpa and Grandma?)
"Look, an airplane!!!"

Scooter!

Dyllin and Boomer

This morning we went to some new friends' house for a play! We met Jenn, and her daughter, Dyllin, in the fall at a Parks and Rec. class for kids, and have been seeing them on and off at Gym Pals ever since. Dyllin is a month younger than Lucas, and is now a big sister to Jordyn.

Very excited to go to Dyllin's house! All smiles!

Lucas loooooved their dog, 'Boomer'. He couldn't get enough of him, and Boomer is quite the gentle giant!

Sweet little Dyllin!

Wow, he sure can eat a lot!

Once again, in love with the baby and stroller. Let's just hope he loves his baby brother/sister this much!

Lucie and Finn sniffed out Boomer the second we walked in the door!

Playtime

A difficult dismount in rubber boots. We've discovered rubber boots are NO fun to play in. Especially ones that are too small!

Ride 'em, cowboy!

Better hang on tight!
(Perhaps he should be wearing his helmet, he sure can get that horse rockin'!)

Faces

Doesn't he look like such a big boy?
