swim lessons for Lucas!

Lucas got to do his first swim lessons with his daddy this year on Saturday mornings......he had so much fun and so did Pete...it doesn't hurt that the pool is heated. Lucas loves the water and was really good at trying everything out. He especially loved wearing a nemo swim diaper....he as so proud and told everyone " I wear nemo". Also his favorite phrase right now is "I did it" so he says this after everything he does.....here he captured a duck.

...............here he is saying cheese for his picture....

...............here he is blowing bubbles...he is very good at this, him and Ewan practice this in the bath every night.

..............pop goes the weasel....this is his favorite!

..........and swimming with daddy.

painting and trains!!

Here is the train we built and painted......as you can see below, the boys loved it. They love trains and had so much fun painting!

Lucas got really excited and crawled into the train while it was still wet!

Ewan really wanted red hair too...so he painted it himself!

Boots go with everything!!

They are perfect to play trains in.....

to stomp on the floor in.......

they work with plain clothes......

when you are trying to be a doctor........

or even a fire chief!............. pretty much everything!!

Water Fun and Pete's birthday!

Here are the boys eating watermelon before Pete's birthday BBQ with some friends. He requested carne asada, homeade salsa and guacamole and Pacifico......and for dessert homeade ice cream(not in the baggies....in an ice cream maker) It was delicious! Ewan and Lucas love birthdays and were so excited to celebrate and help open presents.

Here is Ewan doing a superman slide. You will notice they are both wearing matching swimsuits and shirts.......that is because they picked out matching shark shorts....they both love matching each other.......and they are so cute!

Here goes Lucas!

The boys love their pool.......they had a great time at their daddy's birthday....sorry no pictures of the birthday boy.....maybe next time.

making ice cream!

Our friends came over and helped us make some ice cream! you put all the ingredients into baggies with ice and rock salt and SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE!

STILL SHAKING!

the boys got tired of shaking after awhile....you have to shake for like 10 minutes, which is a really long time and freezing on your hands.....so I ended up doing alot of shaking too!

But it turned out delicious! Both boys made sure to get every last drop!

We LOVE ice cream!!

Firehouse Day!

we went to the firehouse day and the boys had a lot of fun. Lucas really loves firetrucks or "woo woo's" right now. They got to climb all over the firetrucks and ambulances, got a little firehat and free orange punch and popcorn.....what could be better?
Ewan says that "boys don't like having their picture taken" and Lucas agrees.
Lucas trying on the fireman pants and boots.........he was really excited because he loves boots!
And here is Ewan with one of the guys helping him into the pants.

Cheeeeese!!!

Lucas is loving two things alot right now.....his rain boots(which he likes to wear all the time....even to bed as you can see) and also saying cheese for his picture to be taken! He takes it very seriously!!
