spring update number two...

hi everybody - it's me, luke, and i'm back with our second spring update!  even though momma was pregnant with sam, we had a lot of fun around here this spring and there were several special events we'd been looking forward to.  first up - the county fair!!!  ben had been waiting for this weekend ever since our car ride home from the county fair last year (i mean that literally!).  and i was definitely old enough this year to enjoy myself too.  here we are on a fun ride...


and here's me and daddy checking out ben on a ride i didn't go on...


then here's all three big boys on the airplane ride that ben rode and loved last year and i got to try this year - yay!



of course we had to eat cotton candy.  you might remember that last year i tried it and didn't even like it (must have been a textural thing). but i definitely wanted to try it again this year once i saw how much ben was enjoying it...

so i nicely asked him for a piece...


and he nicely shared some...


and would you check out the size of the piece he shared with me - does this seem fair to anyone?  can you believe this big brother stuff i have to put up with around here?


moving on... we checked out the animal barns with cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs.  and then we went to the petting zoo to really get in on the action!  i loved this part and could look at animals all day!  there were goats and sheep, llamas, a donkey, and even a kangaroo!  (and check out momma's big belly - ha!)


the fair was a hit.  and now we're both looking forward to going again next year!  back at home, we had our upstairs walls painted - by someone other than daddy - yay!  we like to "help" daddy too much when he paints, so we had to hire someone else to finish the upstairs.  ben and i had fun climbing on all the furniture as it was being moved around by the painters...


i also had my birthday - yay!!!!!  i am officially two!  although if you ask me how old i am, i will tell you four, because i always hear ben talking about how he's four.  i can count all the way to fourteen though, so at least i know my numbers one way or another!  momma is sad for me to report that my birthday pictures were not very good or exciting, but my birthday itself was awesome because we got to go to the airport to pick up beamee that day!!  and then baby sam was born the very next day!  we will try to include some birthday pictures next time, but here's a random cute one of me pretending to do a check-up on myself after our visit to the pediatrician for my two-year visit...


and here's one of me reading a book, which i love to do!  this is one of my favorites, and although i prefer momma to read to me, i also will read to myself too - cute!


we also had a great easter and loved hunting for eggs (over and over and over...) and coloring eggs and going to the easter celebration at church.  and we've had lots of fun outside and an awesome visit with beamee and grampee and mimsie and grandpa when sam was born.  shwew!  that's our spring round-up and i'll close with some cute pictures...









okay, thanks for checking in - see you next time!!!
