This weekend

We went to see Leslie, Henry and Buzzy this weekend. Steve was not there, so we didn't get to see him. Henry is so sweet and he even grinned at us. He and Leslie were pretty tired, but they are all doing great. Buzzy, on the other hand, was full of energy.

He swam in his pool while Lucas watched. Lucas wasn't quite brave enough to swim with him, but they did have a mean water gun fight. They play really good together. I hope that someday, they'll be big buddies. Mimi seems to be taking good care of everyone. Lucas keeps talking about going to Mimi's house. He has a lot of fun with Mimi.

Here are the new boots that Gigi and Papaw bought for Lucas this weekend. He's very proud of them and will look great when he's riding in his firetruck. I think I may see a little fireman coming together for Halloween this year.
Today, we went to E.O. and Nanny's house for lunch. Everyone ate good, then it was time to go in the backyard and play. Lucas brought a huge ball, so everyone tossed it in the air and chased it. They all had fun.
After Kaylea left, Lucas showed us his skills on the piano. He loves playing their piano. Who knows, maybe someday, he'll want to learn to play. He even closed his eyes, swayed his head, and played the piano like Stevie Wonder. It was so funny. After playing the piano, he sat in E.O's lap and looked at pictures. Boy, it sure doesn't seem like it's been very long since Lucas was Henry's size and had a head full of dark hair. He's growing up so fast. Before we know it, Henry will be involved in those water gun fights.

Meet the...

New Boots!!!

Lucas is addicted to his rubber boots. I brought home a new pair the other day and he has barely taken them off since. He wears them with everything. His Gigi told him that her and Papaw will take him to get another new pair this weekend. They look so hot, but he loves them. That's all that matters.

Check out the blue mouth. Lucas has discovered the freezer pops and the blue ones are his favorite.

BOUNCE

We took Lucas to Blazer's Fun Zone on Sunday. He just can't get enough of the bouncy houses and slides. He's big enough now that he can do all of them on his own. Of course, he doesn't. He insists on one of us going with him each time. It's quite a workout. Maybe I need to go more often. I'm not sure who really likes it the best, Lucas or Brad. We've gone ahead and booked Lucas' birthday party there this year.
I asked Brad if he wanted his birthday party there so that him and Steve could play again. He thought he was a little old.

We all had a good time and it wore Lucas out. He fell asleep as soon as we got home. Check out Blazer's website. http://www.blazersfunzone.net/.

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Is this what you call a Parrot Head? Lucas saw this visor at the Dollar Tree yesterday and had to have it. He was wearing it tonight while he was eating and watching the Backyardigans. Maybe he'll be a big Jimmy Buffett fan. I know that I like his music.
We can hardly ever get a picture now without Lucas biting his fingernails. Any tips to break this habit???

Chillin'

We just spent the weekend chillin' close to home. Yesterday, Lucas said he wanted to go to the mall, so we did. He loves to ride the little rides in the middle of the mall. We've been spending a lot of time in the back yard lately too. He loves his swingset and kicking the soccer ball up the tee box and back down.

Today, we packed a picnic and went to Saunder's Springs in Radcliff. While eating our sandwiches beside the stream, we heard something and when we looked, it was 2 groundhogs chasing each other and fighting. That's something I've never seen before. We walked on the trails by the small lake and the stream. We even found a cave that we didn't know was there. Lucas kept saying that he wanted to walk in the water, but he wouldn't let me put him down. So, I walked in the water and carried him. We hope to do a lot of these close to home outdoor things this summer. We enjoy it and so does Lucas.
