One of the Reasons...

This is one of the reasons we normally keep the bathroom door shut....

First Days Being ONE!

First outside drive in his new car, boy did he have fun! He beeped the horn a lot, and also clapped away as I pushed him down the street! Soooo funny!

Taking off from me while I was trying to dress him!

Driving his new truck...with some help of course! I hope he doesn't expect a car and a truck on his 16th birthday!

He looooves the buttons!

The Big Party!

Well, Lucas' 1st birthday has come and gone. We celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa B, Mamie, Grammie, Uncle Allan and Paige, and Auntie Coley, Uncle Gary and Madisyn. What a great afternoon!

Apparently I need to pay attention and make sure I get photos of everyone at the party...whether they like it or not :) Now that it's too late and the party's over, I realize I don't have photos of everyone. Sigh. Better luck next year!

Enjoy the million photos...cause you won't get a blog this long for a VERY long time!!! Wow.

So proud of his new car! Thanks Uncle Allan and Paige!

Madi enjoying Lucas' parking garage!

I can never get enough of Paige's blue eyes!

Cousins playing!
Present time!

"I'll just see how it tastes Mom!"

Fascinated with his new phone!

Paige snuggling up with her Daddy! (aka Lucas' Uncle Allan for those that don't know!)

Were the kids actually playing together?

Pagie modeling in front of the cupcakes!

Animal and funny face cupcakes!

The theme of the party? "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to". Lucas was Mr. Whineypants unless I was holding him. He did play a bit, but if there was a "crowd" in the room he was in, he had to be with me.

"Which one should I choose?"

Right after blowing out the candle!

Cupcakes for Paige and Madisyn!

"Hmm, should I just dive in too?"

"Mmm, mmm"

Not looking too impressed!

Polar opposites in the cupcake eating department! We all had a great laugh watching!

"Uh, there's something on my nose!"

Silly boy!

"Icing, anyone?"

Looking so sad!

Even Mr. Finnegan had a party hat!

Up WAY past his bedtime helping Daddy put together his new dumptruck from Grandpa and Grandma B!!!

Big smiles for Mamie!

"Oooh, I can help you with that Daddy!"

Woooow, a SIX wheeler!

"Look Mom, it beeps!"

Wow, pretty cool rig! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma B!

Happy Birthday Baby!

A free cake from Thrifty Foods...we had to dive into this a few days ago...long story.

Uh, not so sure about this!

And now for the big day!
First picture of the day. Good morning sunshine! Happy Birthday!

Birthday Breakfast! And what a fun COW balloon. He loved it!

Opening up presents from Mommy and Daddy!

Wow, it's just what I wanted!

Reading his note from Grandpa Ben and Grandma Marie!

Opening up time!

It's NOT a hat, Daddy...it's SHORTS, silly!

But it looks like a fun hat!

And here he is admiring one of his new shirts! Thank you! So cute!

Hey Mommy!

QT with Grammie!

Wow, this is fun!

What could be in there? Please help me Mamie!

How sweet and innocent watching his Mamie.

Uncle Carlo and Auntie Mel...this is your present opening...but note the police car! He had to play with something and open something at the same time!

Woohoo, so much fun being ONE!

Yaaaay, Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Checking out two new toys :)

A very sleepy boy reading his book after a big day!

All done...time for bed Mommy! It's another big day tomorrow. PARTY TIME!
