Fun things about Lucas
*He is a very good boy, pretty easy for the most part just very busy.
*He is walking!
*He can say Mama, Dada, baba, du (for duck), da (for dog), ba (for balloon), and bye
*He has to have a spoon in his hand when we are feeding him or he won't eat.
*He is learning to feed himself.
*He LOVES toy ducks! I got a bath picture frame with a duck on it from Colt's grandma when I was still pregnant and now it has Lucas' picture in it. Every morning when Lucas wakes up the first thing he does is points to the duck and starts saying "da da" and then of course he has to hold the picture frame while I change his diaper. Without fail, that happens EVERY morning.

LUCAS IS ONE!!!
We had a nice birthday party for Lucas. It was a good day with lots of craziness and a tiny house filled with lots of family.

Lucas needed lots of help opening his gifts and then he wanted to play with each one. We actually saved a few gifts until the next day because it got to be just to much, he just wanted to play.

Colt decorated this giant cupcake for Lucas and did a great job. I ran out of time to do it so Colt did a great job helping me.

This is what Lucas does when a house full of people are singing Happy Birthday to him. He buried his head in his high chair and was just sobbing. I just had to laugh, it was so cute. So of course after that he did not dig into his cake. (I have a video of this on our video camera, I'll post it when I know how)

After everyone left we decided to try the cake thing again, and he liked it for a little while but then he had had enough. It was definetly bed time!

I made him this Baby Einstein cake. It did not goes as I planned but in the end thanks again to a lot of Colt's help it turned out ok. It even had a surprise inside...BLUE!

Pictures from the week

Lucas found himself in the spoon. So cute!

He loves his lightening McQueen...even with a bare bum.

NO FEAR!
Don't worrying I was right by him the whole time.

For Brittany

I volunteered to make a wedding cake for my boss's daughter. Note that I have only helped make one other cake like this and that was my wedding cake. The bottom 2 layers are styrofoam and the top was red velvet cake. All I had to do was just cover it with fondant and pipe in between the layers and then they were going to decorate it with flowers so actually it was pretty easy to do. I had a lot of fun doing it.

Fun videos of Lucas

Lucas is learning lots of new things so hear are some videos.

Lucas loves his daddy. Colt can always make him laugh so hard.


Lucas can clap now. He just started rubbing his head on the floor. Silly kid.

Lucas is learning to walk!

Another trip to St. George

We went to St. George again for another fun getaway. While we were there we also got Lucas' 1 year pictures taken by Colt's cousin that lives down there. She did a great job. Pictures to come soon.

Playing at the park.

We saw a horse near this park and it stopped so we could see it. Lucas liked the horse but didn't know what to think when the horse was looking at him.

I can't get enough of him!

Lucas' new trick. He can blow bubbles.

Have I not said how much Lucas LOVES books! Now you can see. He looks very focused.

Lucas got into the bag of binkies that he doesn't use and was trying them all out. I thought it was very cute, especially the soothie one.

I love my little man! I can't get enough of this boy!

Almost Lucas' birthday

This was my way of making a easy, fast, and cheap birthday invitation. I tacked one of Lucas quilts to the wall. He is sitting on his little chair that Colt is still working on refinishing. I made the foam number 1 with the leftover foam that I am using to make the pad for this chair. I painted it from the leftover paint we used for our bathroom. After taking many not so good pictures and getting frustrated because Lucas was not cooperating because all he wanted to do was eat his number1, I started making really loud annoying noises and that got him to make this cute smile. I then used Photoshop for the lettering which I have only experimented a few times with. I was very happy that I was able to do this all by myself because this is definitely Colt's things. So I must say that I am proud.
