Easter Celebration

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with family. Lucas loves the Easter Bunny and understood hunting for eggs.

Saturday we went to a local egg hunt. We got up early and went to sunrise services at the beach and then home to brunch and an egg hunt. It was a beautiful day (80 plus degrees)!

It's a BOY!

Yep, we are expecting another little guy in July. We are so happy and can't wait for him to arrive.

We are prepping Lucas for the big change - but think he'll be a super big brother!

Here are 2 ultra sound pictures...

Legoland with Grammie and Grandpa

Grammie and Grandpa treated us to a trip to Legoland. Lucas loves Legoland -- what was amazing was that he remembered parts of if from his trip with Dad 5 months ago.

Lucas' 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Lucas' birthday with a party at our house. We had family, friends and neighbors over to celebrate the day. He had a wonderful time!

Lucas Daycare Birthday

Candy and Dan make sure the kids have a special party on "their" day. Lucas has lots of fun playing games and eating his cupcake.

(movie to come - check back to see :))

Zoomars

A couple days after Christmas, we rode the train to San juan Capistrano to visit Zoomars. Mike and Shannon Treanor met us up there. Lucas loved the train and his first pont ride.

Christmas 2007

Lucas understood Christmas a little bit more this time around. He loved the tree and all the Christmas lights. We celebrated with Grammie, Grandpa, Nana Janet and Aunt Sue.

Luca left reindeer food out on Christmas Eve and loved all the presents, especially his tool bench and chainsaw.

Hi all -- as you know we are very behind in posting. I was able to do a couple today and will get Christmas and New Years up before the end of the week - so keep checking back!

Quail Botanical Gardens

The Saturday before Christmas we met up with Pamme, Mike, Ted, Sue, Calvin, Randy, Janice and Richard Peerson at the Quail Botanical Gardens to see their light display. The boys has a great time running around with the light sticks Uncle Mike brought for them. Most of us piled in the horse drawn carriage and sang songs on our brief little ride around the garden. Everyone headed on to our house afterwards for chili, cornbread and quite a bit of belgian beer. It was great to see the boys playing together. Lucas still talks about the night.

Wild Animal Park

We spent an evening at the Wild Animal Park with Charlie, Yaz and Darrick. The park holds this event annually - though the fires burned the shed theat held all the lights, they were able to pull off a wonderful event. The boys had a good time, but it was really cold. They decorated a cookie and looked at the lights. I think they probably would have been happy staying just outside the park and running around under the snow making machine. :)

December and the beginning of Santa time!

We all started December with the flu bug, but that didn't stop us. We decorated the house, attended some fun events and helped Rich celebrate turning 40! Lucas is starting to understand who Santa is.

Our first event was the tree lighting at Leo Carrillo Park (we had our wedding reception there)
We watched as Santa lit the Christmas tree and then got to check out all the lighted animals around the tree. We weren't going to have Lucas take his picture with Santa, but he dragged us over to see him. Very nice Santa, though the candy cane girl was very distracting. Within minutes of the picture, the skies opened up and it started to pour with rain, so our evening was over.
