Big boy haircut

He was such a good boy, sat really still and munched on his goldfish.

Look how good I am being mom!

He followed directions when she told him to look down. I am so proud:) He looks like such a big boy now, no more baby here. He is sporting his big brother hair do!

I'm back

It has been a crazy week! Back from Branson on Sunday, had a great time and loved just hanging out and taking a break from motherhood. Lucas started to not feel well Sunday night, slight fever and not sleeping much. Monday trip to doc...ear infection. So he is on antibiotics and seems to be feeling better today. He is playing on the new jumper that daddy bought him while I was gone. My husband has no concept that Christmas is just a few months away and Lucas' birthday is close after. Looking forward to a Halloween party tonight with my moms group and we have a houseful coming on Friday. Looking forward to a visit with my dad and Sherry and my little bro and his family.
Our pics are up on freshartphotography.com, go under client proofing and type johns. They are amazing, Jodie and Kim are awesome! Lucas could not look any cuter if he tried!

Way back Wednesday

Last year on Halloween...my little Batman! I look at this little baby and wonder what happened to my peanut. He is getting so big and I still can't believe he is going to be a big brother soon.

Had a great weekend, just chilling around the house and running errands. We got our family photos taken on Saturday and Lucas was quite the little ham. Heading to Branson for work on Thursday morning and will be gone until Sunday. I will miss my boys, but I am looking forward to a much needed mommy break.

Accidents happen:(

The daycare called me yesterday afternoon to let me know that Lucas fell and hit the corner of the table in his classroom and had quite a bump. A bump is right, this thing was massive when I went to pick him up. The swelling is better today and I hope it gets even better by Saturday because we have family pictures being taken. Editing can take care of the bruising so I hope the swelling goes down completely. I have a cute hate we can throw on him if it still looks bad.

Doctors appointment this morning and getting my hair done after that. I haven't had my hair cut or colored since April, so I think I am due:)

Thats my boy!

To all that don't know, I am a Swiffer pshyco. I probably swiffer two to three times a day. I am an addict and I admit it:) Lucas loves it to and today I let him take over the reigns. He is a natural and definitely my son!

Last night was awesome, had a great dinner and ate way to much. My appetite is back in full force since my 1st trimester is over this week. I am craving meat like nobodies business. I have been not been eating meat at all for the last year besides fish and occasionally chicken. The past few days I have been craving a hamburger, hot dog and just random things that I would not touch with a ten foot pole three months ago. My cousin thinks the baby will definitely come out looking like Billy with this meat obsession. Too funny!

Its pumpkin time

I always post any pic of me and Lucas because they are so few and far between...even if we arent looking at the camera.

He looks like such a big boy!

He loved feeding the deer...giggling the whole time.

We did the pumpkin patch thing today and it was a beautiful day. So awesome to see the sunshine. We were supposed to meet up with my moms group, but we got out of the house behind schedule. Lucas didn't get up until 8 and we were slow getting out the door this morning. We had snacks, climbed on pumpkins, tried the pony ride with no success(he wanted nothing to do with that horse), went on a tractor ride, watched the pumpkin launcher(not sure who liked that better him or daddy) and got our pumpkins and mums.

Excited for a night out tonight. Nothing to exciting just dinner with my hubby. Thanks Kristen for sitting, here's to hoping I can keep my eyes open past 9:)

Party time!

Lucas had his first friend birthday party yesterday and he had so much fun. The weather was yucky but Jen(who is my friend from Stroller Strides) decided to put the jumperoo in the basement. Lucas got right in and played in the ball pit and then got in the jumper. He was so excited! He played with all of Jake's and Zach's toys, had pizza and a cupcake. It was a great time and I am so lucky to have met such a great group of moms! We have a outing today at the pumpkin patch, the weather is supposed to be better, but still cool. It is super foggy out right now so I am hoping it will clear up. Lucas and daddy are still sleeping and I am enjoying my coffee in peace...Heaven!

Pretty productive...so far.

Today is a gloomy, rainy day and I really had a feeling that pj's where in my plans for the day. No go, Lucas was super crabby this morning so I put him down early for a nap and I got dressed and started some projects. I got my closet organized, which was a disaster! Feeling pretty good about that and I got all laundry put away. Waiting for Sears to deliever my fridge and when Lucas gets up we will have some lunch and head to the mall for playtime and shopping. Billy is out of town until late tonight so we will get out and about to break this day up. Tomorrow Lucas has his first friend birthday party in the morning and then we wait for the phone guy in the afternoon. Pumpkin patch is in our plans for Saturday morning and I need to get some pumpkins and mums out front this weekend. Lots to do, I love this time of year and waiting for the rest of the holidays to arrive!

Almost there

Next week I will be twelve weeks along and through the first trimester, which is always a little bit of a relief. I am feeling much better and my appetite is getting a little bit back to normal. Still loving my PBJ's and cereal:) I feel like my belly is already starting to pop out a little bit. Everyone says that you get bigger faster with the second and I believe it. I have already told myself that I will probably gain a little bit more this time and it might not come off as quickly, since my work out routine lacks. Although I am lugging around a twenty nine pound little boy all the time, which I think counts alot.
Lucas is really a hoot, starting to talk up a storm. Loves the work NO and loves his dogs "ANLY" (stanley) and "BU" (blu). Went I went to pick him up at school yesterday he was in the time out chair for hitting his friend, who was just a little guy not much older than a year. So we had to go over and say we where sorry and give hugs, which the little guy was not liking one bit.
We are loving our house, still have lots of odds and ends to do(blinds, window treatments, decor...etc, but we have lots of time and we are taking a break.
Off to watch my shows...toodles:)

More pics from the last month.

Riding a way to fast kiddie rollercoaster that mommy had to tell the scary carni guy to stop early and let us off. We rode one similar to this in Ocean City and it was way slower and he loved it. This one was faster and whipped around the corners and Lucas' eyes where huge. He didnt cry and when we got off he wanted back on and through a fit. Go figure....I have a little dare devil.

My cousin trying to get a family shot..not successful as you can see. Thanks for trying Kristen:)

Mommy and Lucas at the Eureka Days parade. One of the few photos of me and my little guys. Billy has been getting better at using the camera.

A week after we got back from vacation he got a bad lower respitory infecion. He was weezing so we had to do breathing treatments at home. He was a trooper as long as Sponge Bob was on tv.

The last month in a nutshell

My all time favorite from vacation..he looks like such a big boy!

Enjoying a sugar buzz from his lollipop from his aunt Mary.

His first reaction when the ocean waves hit his feet.
