School Happenings

Friday was Grandparents Day at Preschool. Gigi, Papaw, EO, and Nanny all went to spend some time with Lucas and his class. He seemed to have a really good time.

On Halloween, Lucas went to the carnival at his school. I couldn't go, but Brad said he really got a kick out of putting people in jail. He put his Daddy in jail and his Principal, Mr. Knea. He also did the cakewalk with his Papaw. I wish that I could've been there. Only 3 more weeks to go and I can spend every weekend with Lucas!!!!

Happy Birthday to Lucas

Lucas is 4 today. He had a birthday celebration with his preschool class. They had cupcakes, juice packs, and "goody bags" as he calls them. He seemed to have a great time and even told me that he held his hands over his ears while they sang Happy Birthday. Here are some pictures from his day. We are going to cap off his day with dinner at his favorite restaurant "The Back House".

4th Birthday Party

Wow!!! It's so hard to believe that Lucas is turning 4. It seems like yesterday that we were holding him in our arms for the first time. We had his birthday party today at the house. A fun pirate party with family is just the way to start off his 4th year.

He had a lot of help blowing out his candles on his pirate ship cake.

Then he opened presents.

After painting a mask and playing pin the pirate on the treasure chest, they headed outside to hit the pinata.

Even Henry got in on the action.

Then they decorated their pumpkins and played outside.

It was a great day for a birthday party. Lucas loved every gift he received. He'll be busy for a long time learning his new toys and watching his new movies.

It's always special when family can celebrate together.

Pretty Fall Day

We spent the day on Sunday at Bernheim forest. What started out as a drive ended up being a day in nature. We're having pictures taken there in a few weeks. When we got there, we walked around the lake. We thought we spotted a coyote by the lake. We just couldn't figure out why he was so still. Lucas was terrified until we got closer. Turns out it was just a coregated sign.

We had a make shift picnic and walked around more areas. The trees are starting to turn and the flowers are all still bloomed. It was beautiful. We'll definitely be going back a little more often.
