my husband, who i'm very proud of.

joel started a new blog last week, and it is really starting to take off!

the blog, morons with signs, is a funny look at all the protesters out there with misspelled, misinformed, and just plain funny signs.  check it out, because it really is a lot of fun!

now, keep your fingers crossed that it continues to go viral!

lucas makes a crazy noise when he meows. it's so funny!

here he is, happily playing (and also exerting his ability to say 'no').

where's lucas?

lucas plays a hilarious game of hide and seek. we were cracking up!!

fun site!

found this new site today, and it is a fun way to spend a couple of minutes wishing it wasn't over 100 degrees.

make a snowflake!

sprinklers!

getting wet is fun!, originally uploaded by alibean731.

lucas loves the water! which is a good thing, because it is HOT this summer!

our poor dead front lawn needed some watering, and lucas loved playing in the sprinkler. he was cracking joel and i up, leaning into the water stream so it would get his face. love my silly boy!

more potty success!

i swear i'm not going to post every single time lucas uses the bathroom, but i'm just so excited!

tonight he peed on the potty again, but this time he really did know he was going. in fact, he looked down and then tried to grab the stream. :) while i don't really want that to keep happening, i'm glad he knew that he was going to the bathroom.

ok, i promise no more talk of pee. for at least a while.
