Our Sweet Lu is FOUR!

Lucas had a VERY busy 4th birthday! When he woke up his buddy Andrew had spent the night because his Mommy gave birth his brother the night before. Daddy got him balloons and vanilla milk, two of his favorite things! We had Mickey Mouse pancakes, eggs, and grapes for his special birthday breakfast. Then we ran off to preschool...Mommy took the day off spend with the Birthday BOY! We got to go have special snack with Lucas's class. It was so fun to see him in that setting. He is so sweet and well behaved. In the evening we had soccer practice, so we decided to have a low key pizza dinner at home. Mimi brought over pizza and an ice cream cake, and she invited to Schreiber's at practice. We opened presents, ate cake, and played! I am so proud of our four year old!

He loves his tool set from Daddy! He keeps asking to do special projects.

Mimi got Lucas an ice cream cake! Yum!

Super Buzz!

We signed Lucas up for Fall Soccer through the YMCA! Little did we know, we would show up to the first practice and find out we had no coach. I nominated Si and he now goes by "Coach Si". It is pretty much bunch ball, but very cute! Go SUPER BUZZ (yes, that is a combination between Superman and Buzz Lightyear)!

Lucas was great in goal! Taking after his mommy maybe!

Wow, Drue is 15!!!

Drue turned 15 today! We can't believe he will be driving in a year...and entering high school next fall! He is such a good kid and makes us so proud (good soccer play, and even better student). We celebrated with a special dinner while he was here last weekend. He requested a steak dinner, with potatoes and corn. Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you!

Happy HALF Birthday to Colby J!

He is sitting independently, loves playing, jumping and spinning in his exersaucer, he gets his knees under him and pushes off, he has started eating baby good. He especially loves sweet potatoes and spinach! He is very vocal, loves to smile, and will go to anyone. He continues to add so much joy to our lives!

Yes, I can now feed myself!

Mommy looked away and I decided to fingerpaint.

Matching jammies, so cute!

Camping and Fishing with the boys!

Papa flew in from South Carolina for a camping trip with Big Papa, Uncle Cliff, and Danny. Si and Lucas headed over for a night with the boys. They went fishing and camped overnight at Pot Holes State Park.

Dirty boys relaxing in the campsite!
