SG Visit - Family Pics

While we were in SG my sister Raquel took us out to try and take some pics of my little family. Although the wind and Lucas were difficult to get to cooperate, we got a few shots that I liked.

Camping

This was such a fun adventure! Since we had this fun new toy, we had to take it out! After loading up a ton of stuff and the kids we hit the road. We ended up on Manzano Mountain (Cibola National Forest) right outside of the Red Canyon Campground. There was this little pull off that had a great little camping spot where we didn't have to pay (WooHoo!) and Gus could roam free without bothering anyone, not to mention we wouldn't have to worry if the kids cried.

As soon as we got there Brian unloaded Lucas's little battery 4-wheeler and Lucas took off. He had a blast riding around out there and we didn't mind tagging along after him. Gus loved to have a buddy to explore the woods with! Gus would take off running and Lucas would follow him yelling "Gus get over here". Man that kid cracks me up!

The only thing that made me nervous was that it got down to around 40 degrees at night. Luckily our camper has a heater, but because this was our first time taking it we didn't know how much propane the heater would drain. We kept it warm enough to take the edge off, but not warm enough to feel all nice and toasty. I worried a lot about Lucas since he wasn't that great in the sleeping bag, but other than that it was great! It didn't use much propane so in the morning we cranked that heater all the way up and now the next time we go we know we can keep it warmer.

Overall it was a great trip. Levi was exactly the same as home and Lucas did pretty well considering he skipped his nap. Can't wait to go again and take some friends or family!

Our new (2001) Camper!

This post is mainly for my dad to see...

We bought a 2001 Palomino Filly pop-up camper on Friday and we had to give it a try this weekend! A post on that soon to come, but for now here are the pics of the camper.

Levi 1.75 months

Isn't he cute! And super strong neck muscles...

September comes to an end

Lucas got Gus cornered

Lucas did this completely on his own...such a goof ball

It looks so good on him!

My cute little sleeper

Lucas and Zach

Ok so not good pictures but it was at dusk, they were moving, and they were far away so I was so zoomed in that the flash did no good! This is Lucas's new cute little friend Zach. He lives 2 doors down and Lucas LOVES to play with him! A few nights ago at dinner he kept on yelling "Zach where are you?"
It's so cute because Lucas floors it in this Hummer and Zach isn't used to it, so most of the time he links his arm with Lucas's and holds on to the dash with the other hand :)

Who needs blocks?

September 13-26

My boys like to spend Levi's "tummy time" together :) Lucas finally had his 2 year old Dr.'s check-up and he was 33 lbs and 36 1/4 inches tall (75th% for both height and weight)! While we were there we put Levi on the scale with his clothes on and he was already at 8 lbs 12 oz! I wonder how much his clothes weigh?..

Brian didn't have time to use the flash so it came out blurry but as you can see I was sitting on the couch enjoying a bowl of cereal and Lucas decided to climb up on the couch and attack me! He climbed up on me all by himself and was trying to jump/hop while on my shoulders. I should get a medal for not spilling any milk! Oh and aren't my pj pants cute!! I made them a few days before that :)

My little cuties cuddling on the couch this morning :)

Cliff's Amusement Park

So yesterday Brian wanted to take Lucas out on a fun date. They thought about going to the fair, but it seemed way to pricey to me so I suggested Cliff's. It turned out great because this weekend happened to be a 50% off "end of summer" weekend!

Brian said Lucas had a blast and that when the rides were over he had to drag Lucas off the ride and out the gate because he refused to leave on his own! Since Lucas is so tall he was able to go on all the rides in Kiddiland. I am pretty sure that he would have been the youngest kid on all the rides, and it's probably a good thing I wasn't there because I would have been scared!

1st stop Cliff's, next stop....DISNEYLAND! (although not until at least next Spring/Summer)

Picture day

So this was the day I was taking Levi's picture for his announcements. Lucas found some popsicles in the freezer and insisted on eating them like corn on the cob! Maybe the yellow reminded him of corn?...

Levi is going to be blessed

Levi 3 weeks

These pics are from the 1st week in September

Lucas loves to be close to his brother!

First REAL bath

Lucas helping...and then just trying to soak him..

Nap time with daddy. See the resemblance?
