September 2011 Comes to an end!

September has been filled with lots of fun and Love for our family! We have had quite an adventure!

Lucas is full of energy, it is almost like he is the energizer bunny who keeps going and going! Then there is Ryker trying to keep up with his big brother! Lucas notices the little things and is very obervant! Just the other day Lucas told me that we have a lizard in the house! How convienent, right before we were headed to a playdate! I found a shoe box and put it on top of it and caught it and we put it in a jar!

 We caught it!

Lucas was excited about the baby Lizard!

Freeing the baby Lizard!
He still lives in our garage!

Lucas and Ryker with Friends, Brayden and Addysen!

Super Cute!

Going on a family walk!


If Ryker wants a snack he pushes a chair and climbs up
and gets what he wants! Buster was busted trying to get some snacks too!

Lucas and I watching Toy Story3 at the park!

Smore time!

I am not the biggest fan for eating smores but it sure is fun to make them!

Ryker made his very first friend! Her name is Josalyn! They get along well! They both love eating Gold Fish and like sharing with one another!

Ryker Fun! Ryker loves to play basketball! But he does need a little help with his height! So, I thought of the idea and got our step stool that is in our bathroom! It works like a charm!

He throws it and....

He makes it! What a big boy!

Ryker reading books to Buster!

Guess what Ryker can do now! Ryker is almost 22 months old and he now can sit on a big boy swing all by himself! All I need to do is push him and he holds on! He is growing up way too fast!  Rykers new words are; socks, blue, doctor, and hello. He is starting to be more verbal now!



It's been fun September, but it's time for October and we are looking forward to more adventures of holiday fun!

Lucas' 4th Birthday Fun!

Four years ago on September 20th, 2007 at 2:53 am, we welcomed our oldest son Lucas into our family! We couldn't be more proud of him for who he is as an individual! We love him so much and want nothing but the best for him! We look forward for the years to come as he watch him grow up into an independent young man!

On Sunday, September 18th, 2011 @ 2pm, we celebrated Lucas' 4th Birthday at our house with lots of new and good friends we have made! Lucas wanted to have a Transformer Themed party/water fun!

We went to Toys R Us after school on his birthday and Lucas got another Birthday Crown and a Birthday ballon!
He was super excited!

But that is not all that we did for his birthday! We met up with one of Lucas' very first friend Kai and his mom in the front yard and had a little celebration with Ice Cream and cupcakes since he was not able to make it to Lucas' birthday party!
Lucas, Kai and Brayden!
Kai is helping Lucas out a little!

You Can do it Lucas!

Okay, maybe he needed a little help from his best buddies!


We really wanted to thank everyone who was able to make it to Lucas' 4th Birthday Party! It really meant a lot to us and of course to Lucas that you could make it!  We also wanted to say thank you to all of our Family who called and sent Birthday Cards and gifts to Lucas! Here are some pictures of Lucas receiving the packages and opening them! Hope you enjoy!
