Handsome Man

Lucas looked so cute this morning in his church clothes I couldn't resist taking pictures of him. I think I really captured his sweet little angel face.

I didn't even mess with the colors, it was 8:15am and the sun was just so perfect!

Trunk or Treat

Since I am very LARGE we went to Veronica's Trunk or Treat. The Daddies took the boys from car to car while Veronica and I stayed in the back of her hawaiian themed trunk handing out candy. I like going to Arvada sometimes because we get to see people we knew way back when.

Lucas was my Zebra and kept on saying "yip,yip" I don't know where it came from but I liked it.

The boys were so cute and I ended up getting some nice shots of them.

Noah was Monkey George. (Lucas's interpretation)

It was great fun and all I had to do was sit!

Free Day

At the ZOO! We always seem to go when the weather cools off. Who would want to go when it is so hot? It is great when its free because well that's $8.75 I won't be spending on my admission. Luckily Lucas is still free...well until he is three. I can't wait to see if this baby enjoys the "am-mi-mals" as much as Lucas does. Hopefully she does because the zoo is a great place to go in Denver.

Here we are I am 8.5 months pregnant with #2 and Veronica is almost 3 months. Maybe she will have a girl and they can play together. Although I am sure that this baby will love any of her cousins...even if they are boys!

Lucas who is still allergic to the cold broke out in hives again. Hopefully he will grow out of it soon!

No matter where we go the boys always enjoy what their aunties brought instead of what their mommy's brought. Luckily we don't mind a bit!

They really liked this part of the zoo...



These were "fwappers"

Lucas thought it would be funny to bark at them.

Ali gave Lucas these real sunglasses, and he thought he would try them out.

The Polar Bears were out swimming.

Veronica is telling Noah all about them.
Lucas is ignoring her and staring at the girl next to him...she has a FROZEN banana.

The boys had a good time.

Funny Story:
I was coming out of the shower (I am 8.5 months preggo)
Lucas: "Look Mommy a FANT"
I look at the mirror. "What"
Lucas: "Mommy Fant!"
I start crying, "There is a baby in my tummy, that is not nice"
Lucas: "See Mommy, a Fant!"
I look at what he is looking at, it was the discovery channel.
Fant = ELEPHANT!

Pumpkin Patch

I love the pumpkin patch by our house. This year Ryan and Veronica wanted to come with us, so they met us there. It was perfect weather and the boys had fun playing in the corn box and running through the pumpkins. Ryan buried Lucas in the corn and Noah just laughed and laughed, but DID NOT want to be buried. It was a great little morning.

KINGs of the Pumpkins!



I love this picture (below)






Back to the Corn Box.




I have about 5 weeks left. It was nice just taking one kid to the pumpkin patch, I wonder if next year will be harder with 2...

Botanical Gardens

Big Bugs and Gigantic Eco-Sculptures by David Rogers.

Veronica and Noah joined me and Ethan and Ali on a mini excursion to the Botanical Gardens. We went to see the bug exhibit. We traveled through Tropical Conservatory, and then had a picnic lunch in the shade.
Noah and Lucas had a fun chat in their strollers and Veronica and I talked about what we like to talk about most...baby names! She like Elijah Grant, we will have to see if she has a boy next. I am only about a month away from finding out what gender is growing inside of me...hmm I wonder.

Here are some of the natural bugs...

Oh and I always seem to get a good one of Noah...

He must love his Auntie Val! :)
