My baby is 2

Luke is not a baby anymore. He is a little man. He has a great personallity, always looking for the funny in everything, playing tricks on people and running around the house with Wuh-wuh (Jack), and Date.................................SSSSSSSSSSSS (Grace). For his birthday, we went to eat his favorite, chicken Quesedillias and chips with spicy salsa and queso. Then, it was off to Toys R us, where he had to tell us about every little detail of everything in the store. Then to the big mall to go in the wind tunnel, ride the little merry go round, get some dippin dots, and stare at the victoria secret window displays for an awkward few minutes. We are truly blessed to have such a great little guy like him around. Happy birthday Luke.

Grace is very proud of this one. Our cucumbers are only supposed to be 4-5 inch picklers. Sometimes they balloon up in the beginning. I let those get big. This is the biggest yet. Grace eats cucumbers every day with lemon pepper for lunch. She sure does love cucumbers. 2 more posts to follow.

They sell raincatchers for like 80 bucks at a few places. We made 2 for 30bucks. This one is getting painted. We put 3 Koi in it to eat the mosquitoes. The kids each have one. They all 3 love feeding them. Fish are so much easier than other pets. They love when it rains. They all 3 get in front of the gutter and swim in the current.

New spot for fun

This is me fishing Luke out of the water. He doesn't need it, but it scares the shit out of me, so I pick him up and out anyway. He just sees something and goes for it

We found a damn reservoir that is really nice. The water is clear, there are swimming spots all over, fishing, camping, and lots of room for boat stuff. Grace loves fishing, and we will be doing a lot of it. Hopefully I can learn how really quick before she realizes that I don't know what Im doing. Jack likes it in spurts. He learned about not throwing stuff in the water on this trip. It's too hard for him to sit still for very long.

Im so proud of these kids. Jack and Grace are getting pretty good at swimming. Luke has almost no fear of the water. You have to watch him close. He likes to dive for rocks. It is so scary to look up for a second, look back down, and he is gone underwater looking for more.

Jack's art class

Jack had his art class, which he was very excited about. Graffiti was the subject. This painting is one of the ones on display in the gallery. His class all worked together to recreate it. this is 7-9 yr olds




He had a lot of fun. This one, they painted the bricks, then spray painted things on it.


Here is the one they all did together.

Football

Jack had his first conditioning day yesterday. They ran his butt off. He was very eager, running everywhere and doing everything the best he could. It was the first time ever that I have seen that boy physically ruined. He is so sore today. He has been listening to his dad and loading up on protien all day. 2 more posts down below.

Luke's Baw Baw bed

Raegan took this one the morning after his first night in his room. His 3 favorite things are Mommy, Baw Baw(sponge bob) and Momo(mario). Jack wanted to keep his sponge bob sheets, but we knew Luke needed a spongeb0b bed too. His mommy hooked him up, and he climbed right in. No problems with this one having his own bed. He came into our room 2 times the first night, and I just told him to go back to bed. He closed all the doors on his way, and got back in bed.


climb on, climb off, climb on, climb off.

4th of July

We started out on the 4th pretty late. We took it easy, then headed over to one of the waterparks nearby. We ate at the mellow mushroom and ended up at the worlds fair park for dusk. They have awesome fireworks every year. They had a ferris wheel set up on one of the bridges with a great view of the park, and the fireworks. Sorry, no pictures. We waited in the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG line for the ferris wheel. We got on about a minute after the fireworks started, so we got to watch most all of it while riding. The kids loved it. It's so nice to be free and be able to have a day with your kids without worry. Just pick it up and go do what you want when you want. What a great place to live.
