California State Fair

This last Saturday a group of us went to the California State Fair. We had a lot of fun. We ate Fried Food, saw the animals, went on the rides (well some of us did, I wasn't able to being 8.5 months pregnant), looked at the exhibits and best of all went on the Monorail. Lucas loved the "choo choo". We went on the monorail right at Sunset and it was beautiful. It was fun seeing all the rides all lit up and bright. Lucas, Me, Scott, Amy, Jen & Layla

Lucas' 2nd Birthday Pictures AND Pregnancy Pictures

Our family went to JC Penney's for Lucas' 2nd Birthday pictures AND my Pregnancy pictures. Lucas did such a great job and was such a character. We loved so many pictures it was hard to choose. I love watching him grow, he is such a delight!!! I can't believe he is already TWO, time flies by so fast.

We liked this family shot because it describes Lucas perfectly. He did this pose all on his own and the photographer just went with it. I really liked how it turned out.

I am so glad that I did pregnancy shots with this pregnancy. I didn't do them with Lucas and wished I had afterwards. This is me at 33 weeks.

My Cousin Jared's Wedding

My Cousin Jared got Married on August 1st, 2009. It was a beautiful wedding. The wedding was at my aunt & uncle's house (his parents house) in Georgetown. It was a real quick ceremony followed by a fun reception. My Cousin Heather and her son was hilarious on the dance floor. It was such a great time catching up with family. Joe & I spent the evening together without having to chase around a toddler. There were "no kids" allowed so we got a babysitter for Lucas and decided that we will do that for all weddings we go to in the future. Then you are able to enjoy the time together.Joe & I waiting for the ceremony to start

The family did a great job on turning their backyard into a beautiful wedding spot. They had lights on all the trees. They built in a dance floor, had a bar and it end up being a really nice event.

Lucas 2nd Birthday

Lucas turned TWO on August 1st. I can't believe this year has gone by so fast. Lucas had a wonderful 2nd Birthday!!! We did the Disney Pixar Car theme and it turned out amazing. We had tons of family and friends come celebrate his birthday with us. Lucas truly enjoyed himself. Some of the highlights was Lucas being him normal self and was dancing around in the family room and fell on the ottomans and scratched his chin. Typical Lucas. Also when we brought out the cake and he wanted to dig right into it with both hands. Didn't even skip a beat. Another funny moment were earlier in the day Lucas pulled down his shorts and took off his diaper and peed in the bark outside. I think someone is ready to be potty trained.

Lucas loves drinking out of a "big boy cup" now. No more sippy's for him.All of Lucas' Birthday gifts. He go so much cool stuff. Thanks everyone!!
Aunt Sandy got him a shopping cart, this is actually one of his favorite toys.

Lucas loves getting pushed around in his stroller.
