Cheese!

Lucas has gotten to be such a cheese for the camera. It of course takes me MULTIPLE attempts to catch a picture that isn't blurry from him moving. Thank goodness we have a setting on the camera for fast shutter speed. I believe a mom came up with that idea!

Fun times with the Farley's

A few weeks back we went to visit Melissa and the kids. Keith unfortunately was out of town, but we had a great time playing in their pool. I can't believe that I didn't take more pictures. Shame on me! Lucas was adorable/hilarious in his swimsuit/PFD. I will have to get a picture of it soon and post.

In the office

He is going to disown me for this one day...

Memorial Day 2011

We celebrated Memorial Day this year at our house. My father-in-law, Buddy, came over to celebrate with us. Buddy supplied the ribs, which Eric did an amazing job grilling/smoking, and we supplied the baked beans and corn. I also made a delicious dessert that was SOOO easy even I couldn't mess it up! I got the dessert from, Cheryl, my mother-in-law.

I forgot to take pictures of the meal (sorry Eric!), but I did get a pic of the dessert:

Here's what you do:

Ingredients:

1 packet sugar free vanilla pudding

1 Sara Lee frozen pound cake (you could make your own I suppose) cut into small bite size squares

3 Tbsp orange juice

Strawberries sliced

Blueberries

1 container Cool-Whip

Directions:

Make pudding according to package

Put pound cake squares into a bowl and add orange juice. Toss to coat and allow pound cake to soak up the juice.

Once this step is complete alternate layers of pound cake, pudding, strawberries, blueberries.

Top with Cool-whip and berries to your heart's desire!

Lucas played hard outside with his Poppa and this is how he fell asleep. Too cute!

LOTS of Updates below

OK, I caught up until the beginning of May. That is 13 posts. Ridiculous! I had fun updating and now that I am able to put pictures on here it is much more interesting. Have fun reading!

I. Love. You.

Before Lucas was speaking well enough for us to understand that he was saying "I love you" Eric taught him some sign language. Granted you may not find this in the American Sign Language Dictionary, but it works for us.

I

Love

You!

Zoo

We went to the zoo in May before it became unbearably hot here in Alabama. Lucas loved seeing all the animals. I think the cutest part was watching him make the noises when he saw a particular animal. He was too precious!

We actually got to watch them train, feed, and bathe the lions. It was pretty cool. Basically they would do anything to get some raw hamburger meat.

Alice

This is when I looked up to the heavens and thanked God for opposable thumbs that allow me to hold a cup!

Cool dudes in their shades. Never mind that Lucas wasn't wearing them on his ear correctly. It's how he rolls.

Eric said this reminded him of someone. I couldn't for the life of me figure out who though.

We of course had to get our picture made with the gorilla cut out
