Happy Valentine's Day

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. Hopefully you are all having a good day. Lukas thought the whole holding a flower thing was funny I guess. I dont think he knew what to do with it. Silly boy. Well, have a great day!!!!!

Lukas cleaning the what?

So today I was in the living room and I noticed it was really quiet and so I went to find Lukas to see what he was doing. When I found him, this is what he was doing......cleaning the toilet. He had found the toilet brush and just started cleaning away. I didnt even know he was doing it. I must be teaching him well huh?!

Cousins

This past weekend we went to Boise to see Olivia's blessing. It was really fun to hang out with family and Lukas LOVED playing with cousins. He loves other kids and does really well playing. The blessing was really nice and little Olivia looked beautiful in her white dress. This isnt the best pic cause no one is smiling but it works. Lukas was more interested in this cup thing. This is Kloie, Olivia, Bently, and Lukas. We also got to see Beau and Rachael's new house and we are jealous. We want a new house now. It was really nice though and we are glad we could go and visit.
This is Lukas with Jared, Jacob, Katie, and Tacy. (Tina's kids) We got to hang out there too on our trip. Tina and a baby shower and so I got to go to that. She made out very well. She is due next month and I think she is ready to have that boy. Lukas loved playing with these cousins too and their dog. Thanks Tina and James for letting us stay at your house. We had fun seeing you.

Just another day

So Lukas is going through a phase or something where everytime I change his diaper, he runs away before I can get a new diaper on him. This is the view I got of him running away today. So I chased him and he laughed and laughed. Then a minute later it got quiet and I heard something, and yes, he went potty on the kitchen floor. I couldnt get mad though because it was probably my own fault and he had a scared look on his face when I walked in. It was like he was thinking " Oh no! What just happenend." So I could tell he kinda felt bad. (Plus it was kinda funny!)
He found my big exercise ball today and he had a blast playing with it. He liked to sit on it while holding on to it and bounce up and down. He would lay on it and try to stand on it. (With my help of course.) I wish I could have gotten some more pics of it but I had a hard time holding the ball steady with him on it with one hand and taking a pic at the same time. He did have a lot of fun though.
This is just a cute pic I took today of him. He actually looks happy. I say that cause he has a cold and hasnt been feeling that great. I think he is starting to feel better. Thank goodness.
He is what our front yard looked like today. We have gotten a ton of snow. We have been kinda lazy and havent been shoveling our driveway like we should. But we have the nicest neighbor who keeps showing up when Brian is going out to do it and he has a snowblower and digs us out. He is so awesome for doing it. I keep telling myself I need to take him cookies or something. So I need to do that.

The loves of Lukas' life

Lukas loves ice cream. Can you tell by the remains on his face? He also wanted to help me take the picture so that his why his hand is in front of the picture.
He also loves lying on our bed and watching T.V. He is so happy when we let him just lounge on our bed. Although he looks a little sleepy in this picture.
He also loves his snow boots and likes to where them all day long inside. If I try to take them off...... Watch out! He doesnt like that much. So I usually just let him wear them until nap and bed time. That is when I just have to be the boss and take them off, even if he gets mad.
And he loves bubbles. He just stands there watching and says "Again Again".
And most of all....... He loves his mommy! (dont tell daddy though.) Ya I know, I look like a big DORK in this picture but since he cant take pics yet, I had to do this one on my own. We love Lukas so much and are so thankful that we have him. He brings us so much joy and happiness and we couldnt ask for a better kid. ( I know that sounds sappy , but really, he is our little miracle and I love him so much.)

Poor Lukas

So yesturday Lukas came down with a fever of 101 and the poor little guy just didnt feel like doing anything. (Which is very unusual for him to just lay around and do nothing.) So I stayed home from church with him and just let him sleep. He was so warm and I didnt know what to do. Thank goodness for fever reducing medicine. that seemed to help a ton. He just wasnt himself and I felt so bad for him. Luckily today he seemed to be feeling better. He still didnt feel like eating much today but at least his fever had gone done.
Also, as many of you, I was very shocked to hear of President Hinckley's passing away last night. I was very surprized. He was such a wonderful prophet and it seems like he was my prophet cause he is who I grew up with. However, I cant even imagine how HAPPY he is right now being with his wife. So I am happy for them. I think it might be hard though at the next conference knowing he wont be speaking to us. He was a great man and will be missed greatly by so many people. How lucky we are to know that families are forever!

Here are some things Lukas did today

First off, here he is showing off his haircut that daddy gave him last night. Haircuts and Lukas dont go together very well. While daddy is using the clippers, Lukas is on my lap trying to crawl away screaming his head off, while I am wondering why in the world we even bother. But in the end he looked so cute and he forgave us pretty fast.

I found Lukas in the pantry sneaking the pretzels and stuffing his face as fast as he could. How can you get mad at that face though!

We played with some building toys and he was pretty proud of what we made. He carried it all around the house like he was the Statue of Liberty and he tried to take it up stairs to show daddy and it broke and he was sad. Luckily mommy was there to help rebuild it and carry it up the stairs for him.
He also played with the dishes as daddy unloaded the dishwasher. He thinks this one is a hat obviously.
He destroyed the living room in 2 minutes after I had just picked it up. Why do I even try?

To end the night , he showed off dancing with his tickle-me Elmo. He thinks that toy is wonderful. Good job with that gift Aunt Julie and cousin Wynter. He loves it!!!!!

He also screamed his head off while getting his pajamas on, managed to get apple sauce smeared across his forehead, ran into a kitchen cabinet head on while looking at his feet while walking and not paying attention to where he was going, and much much more. But in the end, what would I do all day if I didnt have a cute little boy to laugh at? I would be pretty bored. He is so fun and I am so thankful everyday that I have him!!!!
