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!!!!

Christmas pictures

Here is Lukas with all his cousins on my side of the family. (Actually not all his cousins are here. Ella was not here.)This was taken at grandma and grandpa Winter's house. Lukas loves his cousins.
Here is Lukas showing off 2 new car toys he got for Christmas. He loves cars and trucks!
Grandma Singleton gave him this tonka truck toy and it was a big hit. He rides on it all the time.
Here is my sister Candace and her husband, Dave, holding their baby, Parker.
Lukas is into tackeling the other kids for some reason and so here he is on top of Jacob while Tacy tries to referee.
We had a wonderful Christmas and we ended up with more than enough gifts. We loved spending time with family and we are sad that it is over. Christmas Eve, we spent the day with Brian's family at his parents house. Beau and Rachael and their three girls were there and Brian's grandparents.We played in the snow, watched Polar Express, ate tons of junkfood, hung out, acted out the Nativity, ate more junk food, and just hung out and laughed alot, and ate even more junk food. Oh , we even wrote a poem about our day. It was alot of fun.
Christmas day we spent the day at my family's house. My three sister's and their families were there. There were alot of kids running around. We got to talk to Scott on the phone so that was one of the highlights of the day. He seems to be doing well on his mission. I was sad that he couldnt be there with us but I know he is doing what he is suppossed to be doing. My grandma Winter came and spent the day with us and later that night my grandpa Tolman and my aunt and uncle and their family came for dinner and to open more presents. So, we had a pretty fun day. We always enjoy when family gets together and it seems like the time always flies by. We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and we hope you have a wonderful New Year.
(Oh ya, Lukas got sick during Christmas time. He got a cold and a bad cough. He seems to be doing better though so hopefully he is getting over it. Poor little guy.)

Snow Day !!!

Here is Brian and Lukas in our front yard a few days ago. We got a ton of snow and the snowflakes were huge and gorgeous. It reminded me of a snowglobe.

These pictures were taken on Christmas Eve. We were in Idaho Falls and it snowed ALL DAY!!! I dont think it has snowed all day in a long time. Lukas liked being out in the snow (as long as daddy was holding him. ) He didnt like standing in the snow cause he couldnt walk because it was so deep. He had very red cheeks by the time he came in. ( I am sad I didnt get a picture of it cause it was so cute.)

Fun Fun Fun

This weekend, we were in Idaho Falls visiting with family. Brian's sister, Rachael, and her 3 girls were there also and so as you can see, everyone wanted grandpa. Here is a good example of that. Lukas had a ton of fun playing with Kloie and Bently. Kloie is dressed up in a princess dress like she usually is when they are here.
Here is Kloie and Lukas watching Polar Express (again) and as you can tell, Lukas is very into it. He couldnt even look away tor 2 seconds to look at me while I took the picture. And it is still the only movie he will actually sit through.
Lukas loves being out in the snow. He thought it was pretty cool that he could go out and play in it. Now I just need to find some snow pants for him. Maybe somes gloves would be a good investment also.
Here is Lukas with grandpa Singleton. I think he was looking for birds since grandpa was making bird noises. We had a fun weekend. We stayed at my parents cause they went out of town Saturday and Sunday, so I was in charge of feeding the horse and the dog. Lukas still loves chasing the dog. He always calls out for her and it is so funny how he tries to say her name. Instead of Nellie, it sounds more like, Neney. It is cute though. Hopefully that dog never dies cause I think Lukas is pretty attached already. I think we will get one someday. Brian doesnt know about that, but I am sure we will. hee hee. We are getting way excited for Christmas and Lukas loves going for drives at night and looking at all the houses with their lights up. He has actually done really good at leaving the Christmas tree alone. He did try to eat a piece of a decoration the other day but decided it didnt taste too great so he spit it out and hasnt tried again since. Cant blame him.

My Sweet Little Lukie

Here is Lukas sporting his favorite pair of Elmo pajamas. He always looks down and points to Elmo and gets a huge smile on his face while saying Elmo. As you can see, he is excited to be wearing Elmo.
Here is our little Beethoven practicing the piano. He loves to sit there and pound on the keys. maybe someday he will be as good as Beethoven.

So, is this not the cutest picture ever? I was making lunch today and I came into the living room to check on him and this is what I found. I couldnt help but take pictures. Doesnt he look so precious? (Sorry if you are tired of Lukas pictures. But that is pretty much what I do all day is play with Lukas. And I dont really like taking pictures of myself)
