Show me your muscles!

This is the funniest thing ever and this picture doesn't even do it justice. If you ask him to show you his muscles he clenches his fists and face and turns bright red like he is going to explode. He thinks it is so funny when we laugh at him...the kid knows he is funnier then shit!

Whats up!

Hello..whats up? We are getting very excited for vacation next week. We leave for Ocean City, MD on Saturday. We are staying in a house on the beach and I am hoping for nice weather. I am glad the remnants of hurricaine Billy have gone through and I am hoping for a nice week. We spent last weekend at home and it was nice. We have been on the go the last month and it was great to just hang and spend time enjoying the weather. We did lots of playing at the park, walking the dogs and just chillin. Friday night we went to the street festival here in Eureka and we spent the time chasing Lucas around and watching the choo choo trains. This boy has energy and he can run VERY FAST!!!! I actually have to pick up the pace to catch up with him at times. He is really starting to talk and put words together. Some of his words are please, thank you, Blu, Stanley, choo choo, up, down and some we don't distinguish. He is a load of fun and completely exhausting all in one:)

Ta Da!

Here is a pic I took of the house on Monday. They have the flooring and cabinets in. They are working on the trim and painting doors this week. We are set to close September 16th.

Happy Birthday weekend Kim!

Umm..look at those rolls...

Lucas with the ladies:)

Stopping at the gas station for beef jerkey on our road trip there.

Last year we spent this weekend with my bff Kim for her birthday. We drove to Alabama and went to her boyfriends lakehouse. They are doing a repeat of that this year, but we are not able to go. We had to get some much needed boating time in here. Here are some pics from last year.

Coming around

Lucas is pretty much back to normal today! He has had two nights of good sleep with a lazy day spent at home yesterday. He still has a little cough, but his energy is back in full force. We had SS class this morning and he took another 3 hour nap. We are just killing time waiting for daddy to get home so we can head up to Decatur for another weekend of boating. We are taking my nephews out on the lake tomorrow for the day. They are looking forward to it. If Lucas has another good nights sleep tonight, we may consider taking him along. He would really love it being on the boat with the boys. I will take lots of pictures to share later. Have a great weekend.

The verdict is in

Well, Lucas has a double ear infection! Poor guy has been sleeping terrible and ran a fever for most of the day. I chalked it up to teething until last night when he was so lethargic he just slept and laid on the couch. A trip to the doc this am re veiled fluid in both ears and some much needed antibiotics. He has only had one ear infection before this, so I hope we are not on the road to reoccurring infections. The good news is no strep throat, so that is a bonus.
Have a moms night out tonight with my moms group. So excited, we are going to The Melting Pot(fondue rest.) and I have been wanting to go there forever. Looking forward to a glass or glass:) of wine and good times with great friends.

Fun in the Sun

Check out those chompers! He loves that water!

Playing with grandma Becky in the pool.

Me and my bff Chris.

Had a great weekend, headed up to Lake Shelbyville early Saturday morning. Grandma Sherry and Pa Pa T watched little guy while we got to enjoy the lake with friends. It was so relaxing and we had a blast. Thanks Chris, David, Jenny and Lindsay for a much needed day of fun! Sunday was a day filled with family and another fun day on the boat. A wedding shower at Uncle Mike's and Aunt Tammy's for cousin Chad, Lucas loved swimming in the pool and charming the socks off of everyone. He gets cuter and funnier everyday.

Lucas is cutting a couple of teeth and has been sleeping poorly the last few nights. Today at school he was quite lethargic and has been running a fever and sleeping off and on all night. There are a few kids in his room at daycare that have come down with Strep and I am praying that it isn't that! Taking him to the doctor tomorrow. We are supposed to have a weekend of boating with my nephews this weekend, so I am hoping he feels better.

On the house front, all the hardwood and vinyl flooring has been laid, cabinets should go in this week and carpet next week. It is looking great and can't believe that we will be living there so soon.

Lucas' tricks

This little man is busy. He loves to run, climb stairs and anything else, going up and down hills, playing in the water and tormenting his dogs. We had dinner down by SLU campus last night with cousin Kristen and we took him to see the fountains. He loved it, he took off running towards them and would have run in if we didn't stop him. We climbed stairs and checked out the fish in the pond. He just loves being outside and brings me his shoes all the time when we are home. He also has started some full blown tantrums when he doesn't get his way, but is pretty easy to distract with something else if we can get him out of crazy screaming mode. He is pretty awesome and exhausting all in one:)
On the house front, they have finished with the drywall,taping and sanding. Should be painting today and cabinets/flooring next week. My aunt and uncles where in town yesterday and came down to walk through the display and check out our construction. They approved and also walked away with some nice landscaping rocks for there homes. Lots of rock here in Eureka...they now have a little piece of my yard in theirs:)
Taking off early tomorrow for some fun boating with friends and a wedding shower on Sunday for my cousin. Grandma Sherry is babysitting so we can have some adult fun on the boat..thanks grandma!!! Another busy weekend, but I want to soak up the rest of the summer before it is over.

Weekend pics
