Pretty Flowers and a Rockstar

Friday, July 10, 2009

There are now flowers in my flower bed. Let's see how long they live. I've also added some river rocks to it since taking pics. I have never really had a garden of any kind. I used to help my mom with her garden on rare occassions when I was growing up. That is about the extent of my very vast gardening experience. While I was planting my lovely flowers, Lukas rode his big wheel and his 4 wheeler. While he was riding around, every once in awhile he would yell something out. I kept trying to figure out what he was saying and I was almost sure that he was yelling, "Poptart!". I thought he was saying poptart until today. I finally realized he was yelling out, "Rockstar!" I cracked up! haha! The other day, probably about a week ago, I asked Lukas if he was a rockstar and he replied with a big, "Yeah!" What a cute little rockstar I have. He's the coolest!

Inauguration and No Naps

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

I was able to watch a good bit of the inauguration today even with Lukas not taking a nap. I think it is so great to be able to see this moment in history. I did not vote this man into office but I have a great respect for any president of this country and I am looking forward to seeing some of the changes he is planning on making. I may not agree with him on everything but he's got a tough job ahead of him and I would not want to be in his shoes any day.
I was also glad to be able to watch the inauguration on tv, comfortable and WARM, at home. Those people must have been so cold! How great was it that this day comes the day after MLK Day?
Well, this is going to be a short one because my no-napping 2 yr old wants to climb all over me. Lukas has still been pretty difficult when it comes to bedtime and naptime. Most days there ends up being no naptime and I'm really feeling like I need a break!

A kitchen and a wagon

Sunday, December 14, 2008

We've started Lukas's Christmas a little early this year because we cannot bring all of his presents to Louisiana. They just would not fit in my car! So we've given him his kitchen and a radio flyer wagon my dad got for him. He loves them both and was very excited to get them. My husband got to put them both together. The kitchen was kind of a pain but well worth it because our son loves it so much. Tommorow evening/late afternoon we are leaving to go to Louisiana. I'm so excited. Lukas's birthday party is going to be next Saturday. It's going to be so fun to be home.
