Mother's Day Weekend...Continued

Mother's Day at the Hogle's After breakfast with the Hoffman's, Casey's Mom surprised me at Kohl's and took me shopping for Mother's day. I got some new shirts and shoes! She said there is only one "first Mother's Day" we had fun together, mostly we made fun of Casey :) We picked up some Jimmy John's and headed back to their house for a walk around the block in the new pack! Lucas had fun! Ed doesn't look enthused. ;) Happy Mother's Day, Andea! Thank you so much for taking me shopping and helping me in my transitioning phase of post pregnancy! :) I couldn't ask for a better Mother in Law!

A Memorable Mother's Day Weekend

Brunch with the Hoffman's:
We all met at the Pancake house in Kirkland. They have the BEST Pancakes...and I have to say that I will not eat Pancakes, that is probably one of the only foods that I do not care for. However, it was Lucas' first time in a restaurant and he did great! :) We then decided to go to the park and visit since it was gorgeous outside. What a wonderful Mother's Day to share with my Mom! Thank-you, Mom for always being there for me! I never realized how special being a Mom was until I had Lucas. I love you so much! Love, Kim

Happy Mother's Day

First Mother's Day with My Baby:

This is my first Mother's day and although I have only been a Mom for six and a half months, being a Mother is the absolute best job in the whole world. I never expected to feel the instant, deep, unconditional love that I feel for Lucas. He brings our lives so much joy. I am so entirely blessed that I get to stay home with my Son and watch him change every moment before my eyes. This video was taken about a month ago and I just love dancing with my baby.

It doesn't matter how many times a night I have to get up to make sure he is okay, every time I have to go into his room in the middle of the night, I get to give him one more kiss.

It doesn't matter how goofy I act, if I can make him laugh, I will act as silly as I possibly can. His laugh is the absolute best sound in the world to me.

It doesn't matter how many hours I spend with Lucas a day, when someone wants to hold him, I always immediately want him back. :)

I love the way he gets tired and rest his head on my shoulder. I love the way he smiles when I sing to him. I love the way he kicks his hands and feet when I go to get him up in the morning. I love the way he hits my face when I am feeding him. I love the way he laughs at stupid things I do. I love the way he looks at his daddy with the biggest smile on his face. I love the way he wants to sit on the floor next to Dodge. I love the way he loves to be outside. I love how shy he gets when he sees himself in the mirror and turns his head into my neck to hide. I love the way he hates being on his tummy and immediately rolls to his back with the biggest smile like "I did it". I love the way everyone says, "wow, he is such a serious baby," but I know how truly happy he is at home.

I love everything about you, sweet baby Lucas.

Love, Your Mama!

Cinco De Mayo Party

May 1st: Bill and Patti's
I started working for Bill and Patti when I was 15 and I have stayed in touch with them for twelve years. Casey and I got to work there together when we were in college, which was so much fun. Every year, Bill puts on a Cinco De Mayo Party for his Birthday. This year, he decided to get a pig for the party...wow!
Lucas got to salsa dance with Patti, feed the chicken's with Daddy, eat tamales with Mommy, and wear sombrero hats with Bill. We had a great time.

A Little Outing

New Backpack:

We went for a walk on Saturday morning to try out our new backpack that Ed and Andea gave us! He seemed to like his new perspective. We are excited to take him hiking in his new back pack with Grandpa Ed.

Grandpa Wally's Birthday

April 29, 2010:
Happy Birthday, Dad (Grandpa)!

We went over to Katie's house for lunch and celebrated my Dad's birthday. Lucas got to wear his "Grandpa is my Hero" shirt just for his G-pa's birthday. :) Katie had these M&M's out in a dish and Lucas loved putting his hand in the dish. A quick move to his mouth and before anyone could react he had that darn yellow M&M in his mouth. My Dad's hands were full as you can see by my Dad's reaction, "Oh No" he could not help Lucas get it out of his mouth. Fortunately, Grandma was there to swipe it out! :) I love this picture!

What a fun day!
