FUNNN!!!!!

I love the children's museum in Downtown Charleston.
It is so much fun!! I take the boys there every chance I get! It's nice to let Lucas run and play while I hold baby Nickolas!~
THis time Sarah and Hayden-went with us!~
Boys LOVE to eat!!~ WE found this nice little family owned restaurant; Familaria's pizzeria
It is simply delicious!!!!~

Ok!~ I have to admit I have been trying to give Lucas the best week possible!~
His birthday was Nov.1 this past Sunday and since his birthday party isn't until sat.nov.7 I figured he could have a birthday week!
He is such a great kid..I can't beleive how great he's talking the past couple of months.I know it's largely in part because he started pre-school.He loves going to school so much I hope he continues to feel that way as he gets older.
I want to remember some of the cute things he has said..though not nearly as good as if I had a recorder every time he said something cute!It will have to do.

1)"no dog stop that loud by my brother"
Some dogs were barking in the neighbors yard and Lucas and nickolas were outside with me...and Nick was unsettled by the loud barking..Lucas is super protective over Nickolas. He doesn't want anyone bothering him.If he's in his carseat and someone comes over Lucas will pull the shade down and say " no it's MY brother;-
and brother sounds more like Broder...just love it to pieces!!!

2) "no i do it"
wow! have I heard this one enough!! lucas wants to do everything for himself and Nickolas

3)"i need to kiss you"
this one comes out of nowhere..he will be playing or getting in his carseat or even driving down the road and he will say this to me or say
" i need to kiss my broder-(brother)

4)"watch this"
this one makes me laugh every time!!! He wants me to watch everything he does! and yes i stop what i am doing and watch...whether he is showing me how to jump off my bed..which he should get in trouble for..but doesn't or how he can write his name!

I want my son to know I love him and I'm proud of everything he does.In my eyes he is the best little boy ever!Nothing in this world could make me prouder or happier than seeing him happy!!

5) "no you stop that"
Now this one SHOULD NOT be one I love! But secretly inside I DO!!!
I mean his chubby little cheeks and big wet kissable lips..big brown eyes and pudgy little fingers telling me to... .stop watching him..
or stop telling him it's time for bed or telling him to put something back..like candy he's climbed on the counter to get or juice he just spilled half of to get a dribble in the cup....

something about this one just makes my heart smile!!!!


6)"I make this for you"
I love hearing this!! I know when he says this he is waiting on praise! How wonderful to know an innocent child is looking to me for validation and praise!!

I could go on and on with things lucas says to me! He is such a joy to my life and makes me complete! I love him so very much and feel so blessed that God has given me charge of him while he is here!
God is good and what a great way to start a person..a baby..a toddler...a child!! !

2009 Coastal Carolina Fair

This is my absolute favorite time of the year!!! Fall...the fair..Christmas.....

Lucas loved the fair!~ My only regret was not taking him earlier and on a less crowded day..we went Sunday Nov.1 !~
Nickolas decided to stay awake awhile!~ A change from his usuall sleepy self!!!~
A big boy day...... but he still wanted mommy to carry him at time!~ He's 3 but still my baby!
He kept going through this house with Wender! It's a mostly mirror house and wender was making him laugh hysterically so he kept going in!!!
It looks like night-time.however.we arrived at 3:30 and left at 6:00..the time change was the night before so it started getting dark super early! :( Lucas is triggered by the darkness and wanted to go to bed!~ Funny he asked for "nightnight" with all that was going on!

OCt.31..fun!!!!~

Today was costume day at school!!! All the kids were so cute!~

Lucas loved the batman for the cape!!
Though we don't trick or treat our church had the annual pinata party and derby race!~









Nickolas won 1st place and Lucas won 3rd place in the children's race!

Nickolas looks so big in this picture! He's 8weeks!I still can't beleive he's 2months old already and he looks so different!~

Fun Filled Family Weekend....

What a weekend we had!!! I love fall.... there are so many things to do!!

This was the last week for the pumpkin patches so of course we had to go again! This was our 3rd trip.. and the 1st time it didn't rain!!
I love my family and I love when wender is able to be with us when we do fun things!


Nickolas & I started the weekend at Coastal Ceramics doing pottery together




We later attended Chiago's 3rd birthday party! Lucas loves parties..and blowing out the candles!

Boone Hall pumpkin patch

Today we went to Boone Hall pumpkin patch in Mount Pleasant!~
We had so much fun...would've been better if it wasn't raining! The 2nd pumpkin patch we have been to this year and it rained both times!! Didn't stop us from having fun though! We rode the hay ride...when it started raining....
The huge slide was a blast.... baby Nickolas slept the entire time ..of course!!

Nickolas is 8 weeks!~ (considering it's 12:30 am as i am blogging)
I still can't beleive God has blessed us with another wonderful boy..
He sure enough is here though!! To comemorate his 8 weeks I've added some pictures in order as they were taken! I tried to get one from each week to see how he's changing.I looked at him today and just really noticed he is filling out so nicely and is getting nice and chunky!! He's still in some of his newborn clothes and some 0-3months fit.
WOw ! what a timeline!!!
(his 1st week is missing..along with all the delivery pictures.Mom took them and i have yet to upload them) I will come back and blog about the delivery and 1st week once i get them!
Week 2
