Who Knew???

It seems that the best most entertaining toys are those that are actually not toys at all.

Look at that face...that face can get away with anything!!!

Lake Mission Viejo

Sunday the weather was absolutely gorgeous so we meet up with friends at the lake. It was the first time that Lucas had felt sand. He loved it and he could have spent all day playing in the sand and water. Looks like the lake is going to be one of our hangouts this summer.

Bye Bye Bumper

Two nights ago we woke up to this. Lucas is now able to pull himself up and stand in his crib. When we came in he was standing on his bumper and trying to pull himself over the crib. So, Mike and I decided it would be safer not to give him the extra height from standing on the bumper and take it out of the crib. The question is how long do we have until he is able to get out?

Oh, and the countdown begins less then one month till Lucas turns 1!!!

Ball Pit

This is the ball pit that Mike created for Lucas. Its a blow up pool filled with plastic balls from Toys R Us. We think its just like Chuck E Cheese minus the millions of germs :) Lucas has mastered crawling in the ball pit, throwing balls out of the ball pit, crawling out of the ball pit, and then crawling back in the ball pit. He loves it and could play in it all day!

He looks so grown up to me in this picture

He has quite the arm...future baseball player???

Irvine Spectrum Waterpark

Last weekend Mike, Lucas, and I went to the Irvine Spectrum. It was such a beautiful day! While we were shopping Lucas noticed the children playing in the fountain. He immediately started what I call "his noise" to let us know he wants something. Mike took him over to the fountain and Lucas sat on the edge and kicked his feet in the water. Lucas was having such a great time. When it was time to go Lucas was very upset to leave his fountain.

Mike thought that since he loved the fountain so much that he would love the area by Target (for those of you that know the Spectrum) where the water shoots out of the ground. Mike was such a great Dad and held Lucas while he ran through. They both got drenched and Mike was right Lucas loved it!!!

Walking Soon?

Today Lucas pulled himself up on the couch!!! I couldn't believe it. Looks like we will soon be chasing a walker instead of a crawler.

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary

I do not know where the last two years have gone.

All I can say is it has gone by so fast and God has given us so many blessings.

Being married is wonderful! and well being married to Mike is an adventure.

Mike is never boring and always entertaining.

He is hard working, driven, and loving.

He keeps me on my toes

and that is what I love about him.

Happy Anniversary to my husband and best friend.

Can't wait to see what next year holds for us :)
