Baby turns one!

Lukiah made my blog title tonight! Yes, a lot of other important people in my life share this birthday, Erin and Morgan!!!! But I can't believe that Lukiah is one! His is starting to walk and his first word (well after mommy) was "dog"--he loves Sammy and Kodi--well he loves them from a distance :) He is a dear and his little birthday party on Saturday will be well attended I am sure!!! In the picture above his is looking into the magic mirror with his Papa or Poppy--not sure which John is called :) But he is cute anyways and Papa John looks cute too!

My husband is coming home!!! Can you tell that I am ready! :) Tonight the kids and I took Erin out to Red Robin for her birthday! Happy Birthday Erin! Afterwards, we made a trek to Target to purchase "black" shoe laces for the new basketball shoes that Bren got earlier in the week. (The story behind that is that Sammy decided he didn't like the other shoelaces :) But luckily he liked the shoes and left them alone. Then I went to Fred Meyer and bought shoe laces that were on the clearance rack. .70 cents! But after dinner Erin and Katy pointed out that they were Navy and not Black--which would not do!!!--So off to Target to purchase black ones--so much for the sale! Thanks Katy and Erin!!! :) Not that the 1.79 broke the bank!).

Sammy is not sure what to do with Paul gone! He kind of wonders around like a lost puppy. I wasn't sure that he was so attached--but he is! One night I fell asleep on my bed before I put him in his box and woke up with him cuddle up under my chin--well as cuddle up under my chin as a 70+ pound puppy can be. :) When I came upstairs tonight he was laying on my pillow--I think there is going to be trouble when daddy comes home tomorrow! He is awfully cuddly though!

The kids are good--it is so amazing that they are so observant of my stress when Paul is gone--they seem to cry and stress so much more--which in turn stresses me out more.

Tomorrow is cleaning house day! I did that earlier this week, but then I let it go and now--well it is a problem--so no playing tomorrow! Well better get to bed!
