Lukas's First Time to the Zoo

Getting friendly with the cats- nice kitty!

Which one is the monkey?

Luke isn't quite ready to go out on his own

I Turned My Back for Two Seconds....

This is alright, right?

Look at me mom!

Sodding the backyard!

Four pallets of sod

In the end of May, Russ and I were able to put down sod in our backyard! This is amazing due to the fact that we filled four dumpsters worth of crap from our backyard alone! My brother Justin came to help and we were able to lay it down in one day. I no longer feel like I will be swallowed whole in the jungle that was our backyard. We are so very blessed!

Lukas's Journey to Crawl

I am not crawling and you can't make me!

Hey! I'm on the floor and I am not screaming!

My amazing army crawl

But notice, I can get up anytime I want.

Aahh! Sweet Success!

Just taking a break from my awesome skills!

Lukas's First Camping Trip

Our brave boy staying warm while it rained

We were so excited to take Luke camping for the first time. We went to Rockport State Park for the Rasband Family Reunion. It was fun to see some of my aunts and uncles that stayed overnight with us. Luke didn't go to bed until midnight because he wouldn't go to sleep in his playpen so he just slept with his mommy in her sleeping bag. The next day we wanted to take Luke out on the lake but it poured all day! He was a trooper though! We love our boy!
