We have had the first emergency room type injury already this summer! Lucas fell while playing at the park and split his chin wide open. He required a total of 10 stitches...2 inside and 8 outside! He was a very brave boy and didn't cry at all while they put them in. It has been a week since he got them out and here is a before and after picture!!

With the stitches!

Without!!!

A really handsome blue eyed boy!

Lucas turns 5!!!!

I can barely believe that it has been 5 years since Lucas was born. It was such a busy time in life with moving, Matt finishing school and having a baby it seems like it was just yesterday. But, it has really been 5 years since this beautiful, full of life, blue eyed boy came to stay!

Lucas had very specific instructions for his cake this year. He wanted a police car chasing another car...this is what he told me to make, I did, and he said it was perfect. Oh, the cake was chocolate because that is what color it is under the dirt:) Yep, that was all Lucas!

Lucas received many great gifts...this is the best picture of him with one of his gifts....those blue eyes are sparkling!

Yep, the boys all had to see what Lucas had received...the Hummer and motor cycle were a huge hit!

Blowing out the candles...the candles were placed along the road as street lights....what an amazing imagination!

He is the pirate that doesn't do anything!

Lucas has a birthday party to attend this afternoon...a Pirate Party! He was asked to dress the part...so here what mom came up with!!

It's amazing was a party store, Grandma, dad's closet and the Salvation Army thrift store can provide!!!!

















Argh... Swab the deck! Could you say no to this pirate???
