Hungry Boy!

So Lucas is 'Mr. Independent' lately and when it comes to feeding time he won't eat unless he gets to feed himself. I knew it could get a little interesting so I grabbed my camera and let him go for it!

He started out with his own fork...

And when it didn't work out the way he had planned he decided to give mine a try...
It was a little better, but still not good enough...
And when getting the bowl closer didn't seem to work, he just dove into it...
After all that, he still couldn't get any macaroni! That's when he just did it the easy way...

When this boy is hungry he'll do just about anything to get some food!

Say Cheese! :)

Fishin' Buddies

In honor of Father's Day I thought I'd post a little something for Shane...

WE LOVE YOU!

Fun Times in Missouri!

More Adventures...

Day 2... Mississippi River

This is one of the locations where they close the gate if the river gets too high. The pictures above were taken from inside these walls. After this, we walked to an old ice cream parlor across the street and ate waffle cones. Yummy! Later that night we went to a park to catch fireflies. It doesn't matter to me how neat they are- they are still a bug in my book!


Day 3... Cape Splash Aquatics Center


Floating down the lazy river


Playing in the splash pad

We spent about 6 hours at this place today but it was a lot of fun! Lucas loved being in/around the water and hanging out with his cousins. :)

Greetings from St. Louis!

Up, Up & Away!

Checkin' things out before we took off...

Above the clouds!

Lucas flew like a champ on our plane ride to Missouri! Dad let us have the window seat so Lucas kept himself pretty entertained. After about an hour in the air he got tuckered out and slept until we landed. What a relief!
