Fun In the Sun & Big Family News!

Labor Day weekend was a lot of fun. Brian, Luke and I went to the lake with my parents and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The last time we were there, Luke had just learned to walk and was a little wobbly, but this time he was running all over the place! Here are a few pics from the weekend. Enjoying breakfast on the porch. He was looking at Pop, who was obviously pretty entertaining.

With Tula in Rocky. He loved sitting here and playing with the steering wheel. In this picture he was watching his Daddy ski.

Nothing better than a good-ole rock.

Running away from Daddy. Notice Brian is still trying to enjoy his coffee. There is no easing into the morning for this little guy.

We love our backyard, but there isn't a whole lot for Luke to do besides get into the plants.

Exhibit A. (yes there is dirt in his mouth)

So... we decided to get a little play set that he could climb on. It came on Sunday and we put it together immediately. It is a little bigger than we thought, which is great because he will be able to use it longer, but right now that means he needs close supervision. He is loving it!

Here he is waiting for it to be put together.

Here is what Luke and I were doing, while Daddy did all the work. =)

Once Luke saw the big pieces coming together he wouldn't stay away from the thing. This made Daddy's job a little harder. =)

After holding Luke back for about 30 minutes, we were ready to roll. He loved it!

For some reason the rope knots seem to be the biggest hit, go figure!

We were so excited to now have a new activity to do during the week, only for it to rain pretty much nonstop for 3 days. Luke would just stare at his little play set through the window begging to go out. I finally gave in and let him play in the light rain for about an hour. Needless to say, clothes ended up coming off and I had one little naked boy mowing the lawn. He sure does make me smile! What a pose, and look at that belly! =)

Also I want to thank those that left sweet comments on my last post. It really meant a lot.

Ok and now on to the big family news.....You will have to check out http://www.theschmidblog.blogspot.com/ to learn what it is. ;) We couldn't be more excited!!!
