We Have a Birthday Boy!!!

Our not so little boy is 2 years old today! What an eventful day it has been, let me tell you. Both of the kids LOVE balloons so Russell and I had blown some up last night so when Lucas came out this morning he saw all of the balloons and him and Maggie were in heaven! After some yummy homemade waffles for breakfast, we ventured all the way to the red mountain Target so I could get his pictures taken only to find that they didn't open until 10:00! So we walked around for a half an hour and went back and found out that some other lady was there because she had an appt.(I was just hoping to sneak in without one), then Lucas decided it was a great time to dump a load in his drawers(which wreaked to high heaven), so we went to pay for our stuff and I went out to the car to change him. I would have liked to go back in to get his pics taken but he was throwing the biggest fit over who knows what and that helped me make up my mind....which was to go straight home. Why is it that birthday kids are always grouchy on their birthday? After a much needed but not long enough nap, we ventured on to Chucky Cheese to celebrate and it went pretty well, Lucas is in his element there. Who know what the rest of the day will bring but I'll be glad when both of my crazy kids are in bed! I think he'll enjoy his toys when all the excitement of the day settles a little bit. Thank you to Grandma, Charlon, Lindsay, Summer, Craig and Julie, and Grandma and Grandpa K for all the wonderful gifts and for supporting Lucas on this special day!




The boy would not look at the camera to save his life!



Sweet little Sailor was so good the whole time in her stroller!

Grandma Cathie, Cole, and aunt Charlon

Cade and Maggs in the background

Little Alice, she just woke up and was testing out the scene

Krew, he was so into this game

Baby Lindsey was so cute to give me that little smile.

The older of the Gardner girls, Natalie and Brooke, they weren't too sure about Chucky

Maggie wouldn't get close to Chucky until they threw all the tickets in the air.







He tried so hard to blow them out but wouldn't do it hard enough because he knew they were "hot"

Lots of fun presents!
2 years ago today, our sweet yet strong little Lucas was born at 3:34pm after 45 min. of INTENSE pushing and more pain then I want to ever feel again in my life. It wasn't the picture perfect delivery and then after he was born he was rushed off to the nursery because he didn't get all the fluid out of his lungs and thats where he stayed for the remainder of our hospital stay. He actually didn't have a name until 3 days after he was born but I'm so glad we picked Lucas.

I chose this picture of him crying his eyes out because that is just so picturesque of him now...always throwing a fit! ( well not always but he's got just as much spice as he does sugar)

He was sportin' the chubby cheeks right away! They still havn't gone away!


His blessing day


My two little chunks...Lucas had thrush so thats why his mouth is all purple.

Our little cowboy....does it look like he has a choice?


Doing what he loves best....eating

Our big boy! He is quite the little stinker but full of character and life. I hope he grows up to be a sweet boy and always loves his mama.
