Father's Day 2012

I love always coming up with new ideas for gifts. And by new I mean scoping out pinterest. I found a questionnaire on Pinterest and had Lucas do it for both Ralph and my Dad. I then put the questionnaire in a scrapbook album and gave it to the boys. My plan is to have Lucas do this each year and then get a photo of the boys together to add to the album. It will be kind of neat to see how Lucas' answers change each year. We will have to see how long this actually lasts.

We spent the day at my parents where Lucas spent most of the day in the pool. This kid is addicted to the water this year. Ralph worked for the first part of the day but joined us in the afternoon for a traditional Father's Day dinner....Ribs!

It was a great day honoring the most important men in my life! Enjoy the photos!!!

SUCCESS!!!!



I thought this day would never come....but my little monkey it finally potty trained!!!! I was nervous to post anything about it at the beginning for fear or jinxing us. It has been just under a month and I cant tell you how much easier it is to not have to change a diaper!!! Lucas is really good about telling us when he has to go and since we began we've only had about 3 real accidents. I'm so proud of my little man. Now that he is potty trained I can get him enrolled in preschool. Did I just say preschool???!!!!???? I can't believe he's big enough for that already. The time has sure flown. We are staying busy this summer. Holiday parties, trips to the pool, maybe even a few trips to Chicago and Bloomington to visit the aunts!!!

Some pictures of summer fun!

 Just chilling!!


Auntie Ashley babysat for us the other night so Ralph and I could catch a movie together. When we got home to put him to bed I went to go read him a story and he said, "No! Auntie Ashley is going to read to me" To cute to not catch on camera


Love to all!!!
