Time to make the PIZZA!!!!!!

Oh so good.....
Sideways, but a good end result.

Mommy, braving this big tasty feet.

Nicholas, you put the pepperoni on the crust, not your mouth.

We NEED mushrooms, Mommy!!!!

Leanne had a great idea in involving the boys in helping to prepare dinner. So what kind of meal do you trust a 2 year old and 3 year old to help you make? Pizza is a good place to start. After makinf sure that the boys had CLEAN hands, the feast to be made began. Ofcourse, it was at times a little challenging to explain to especially Nicholas that the toppings needed to stay on the english muffins and not be eaten off. All in all it was a fun time with the boys and the end result was very tasty.

Baby Lucas already causing trouble...

Here is the face: eyes, nose, mouth and chubby cheeks
Fuzzy face...

Little face with all features.

These are his feet, can't you tell. You can kind of see the big toe seperated

Well Leanne went for her second unltrasound to see how things were going and some troubling news was brought to our attention. Lucas has decided to be in a breach position instead of being head down. Little stinker. Well in two weeks, Leanne is going in to see if he has changed positions and if not then the doctor will try a procedure to turn him. If that doesn't work, then we will be scheduling an inducement which will include Leanne having a C-section. This is something that Leanne is not looking forward to. So what we need everyone to do is pray that Baby Lucas turns to the head down (Vertex) position. Here are a couple of pictures of the ultrasound pics. I know they are a little fuzzy, but they should show a face and a foot type of image. Also, Baby Lucas is in the 75th percentile for size/weight, meaning he is currently approximately 6.5 pounds and would continue to grow. He would be the largest of all of the kids we have had. Zachary was 5lbs and some ounces, Nicholas was 6lbs and some ounces. I guess we wanted to go out with a bang on this last kid. Continue to keep us all in your thoughts and prayers, especially for Leanne. Baby Lucas has really been doing alot of kicking and bouncing around.

In the shop...

Can we build it? Yes we can...
Keeping my eye on the nail. Nicholas needing a little more discussion about wearing the
safety gear.

Yes, we are studs and yes Daddy put the same picture up twice. Doh!!!

Nicholas nailing using his special technique. Zachary trying to wait patiently.

Well it was bound to happen and of course I made sure that the boys were safe (disclaimer) and didn't have them working with power tools just yet. They were given safety equipment and the OSHA regulations. They enjoyed hammering a real nail with Daddy's hammer. Hmm, whats next? Maybe teaching them to use the miter saw. Just kidding. Enjoy the pictures.

Just another day with the boys...

Well, when I picked the boys up today from daycare, I was informed that Zachary had had a rough day (I.e. not listening, rough housing, etc.) and Nicholas had done somewhat better today. Nicholas has been exerting his independence lately. Well after that, I got to have one of those great, "You need to listen and you shouldn't do this or that" talks. Oh the joy. Well after the talk, Zachary, Nicholas, and myself went to the Great Miami River which is not too far from our house and look at the low dam. Both Nicholas and Zachary had a great time watching the water go over the low dam and all of the debris that would get caught. I wish I would have had my camera to take pictures of their faces. So although it was a rough day in some ways, it ended with the boys listening more and enjoying the rolling waters. I will say that it was very relaxing with the wind blowing and the temperature not being too hot. Gotta love those boys and especially the one coming.

Kersplash.....

I'm not onery...I'm not going to push my brother...
Here mommy, have the shark..SPLASH...

Enjoying the pool...

My turn, no my turn...

Splash, Splash, SPLASH...

No, I get to fill the pool Nicholas.

Hurry up water, fill up so I can take a drink (Sadie)

Well after two days of pretty bad storms and some near Tornadoes, today had some pretty warm (hot and muggy)(90's and humid) weather for here so we decided to inflate the gator pool from the grandparents. According to the boy's the pool's name is actually "Tick Tock". Ok, a little trivia. Why would the boys name their gator pool "Tick Tock"? Hmm. I'm not going to give the answer just yet. For some this will be pretty easy. I await your answers. Both Zachary and Nicholas love this movie. Anyways, the boys really enjoyed the pool, although Nicholas was a little hesitant when he first got in since it was water from the tap. Pretty cold actually, but they warmed up to it. Brought back some mountain memories for Leanne, when she used to swim in frigid water at a pool where her family used to go camping. Don't worry, there was no hypothermia happening with the boys. Enjoy the pics.
