Finally...

Okay everyone I am finally taking the time to share with you all what has been going on the last month at our house. Where to begin....

Lucas-

Lucas is growing and learning at a rate so fast I am having a hard time keeping up. The kid is waaaay to smart for his own good. His vocabulary this last month went from like 10 words to like 100 words. He basically repeats the last thing you say every time you talk to him. Example:

Mommy- Lukey do you want some Yogurt?

Lucas- Ogert, peeese

My favorite thing that just melts my heart every morning is he says, "Hi Mommy" or "Hi Daddy" or my favorite "Hi Teetee" as soon as he sees us. It is so fun to hear him talking. Today John was playing with him and they were playing with the big lego like blocks and he would pull two blocks apart and John would say, "Uh oh, you broke it" and Lukey would answer back, "uh oh i boke it" and then they would put them back together and John would say, "yeah you fixed it" and Lucas would clap his hands all proud and say, "i fix it". HILARIOUS!! It is so much fun to see him progress.

Another story for today, Lucas learned to climb into the dryer when he helps mommy fold laundry. Here are a couple of pictures. He was having a grand old time just hanging out in there after he dumped all of the clothes on the floor.

The funny thing is later after he had dinner and went to bed I came back upstairs to check on him and this is what I see in the crib:

This Lucas laying on top of the pillow with his blanket bunched on top of him, with his foot hanging out the side of the crib. Oh, and he was snoring! Man I just love this kid!

John-

John is back in school for the semester taking two classes again. He is retaking his upper division Calculous class because his teacher last semester was not very pleasant (that is being kind) and then he is taking a super hard programing class. Which is kind of funny because he was all excited about his programing class because he really enjoys that type of thing but this class requires way more homework and time than he had thought. Good news is he had his first exams this week and he got a 92 on his Calc test and he's not sure on the programing exam but he said he felt like he did really well.

Robyn-

Me...I am going part time at work!! YEAH!! We decided that Lucas is to the point where he needs to have me around more. So my gracious boss is allowing me to work two days at the office and one day from home! That means 3 days of being home with my favorite little guy in the whole world. I am so excited. We are going to go to the park and have so much fun. My house will definately stay alot cleaner and I don't think we'll run out of underwear again :) This is hopefully going to be such a blessing for our family.

Softball starts again tomorrow so I'll try to get a few photo's of us in action. The good news about going part time at work too is that now I will actually have some time to do things like update my blog and keep up on all of my friends.

Long Lost Turner Family....

Well, I'll make this brief...I HATE BEING AN ACCOUNTANT IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY!!! Enough Said!

Just kidding. Really though being an accountant at year end really sucks. Everything is "Priority" but there are not enough hours in the week to get them all done! Luckily I finally feel like I am catching up. Hopefully by February we'll be golden!

We are good...sorry I have not taken any pictures since my last post. How you ask...LAZY! I took two picture over the entire Christmas break and they were lame. I will need to get pictures from everyone else so I have them.

Life is good at our house when we are all together. School started again for John so two nights a week I don't even see him. And I don't see him the other nights of the week because apparently he is the only one at his work who can problem solve so he gets to work extra time trying to figure out their new machine...which he didn't design but is supposed to know how to make it work! :) We enjoy our Sundays, imensly!!

I'll try to be more proactive now that things are calming down at work and catch you all up on our family's goings on!

Winter Wonderland

This is the view from in front of our house down the road this morning at 7am. SNOW!!! All in all it ended up dumping about 4 inches at our house. The schools around town were cancelled because Vegas doesn't have any snow removal equipment.
This is a picture of our house. I know to all you Idahoan and Utahans it looks totally puny but this snow storm pretty much shut Vegas down yesterday. The roads were crazy icy and people were slipping all over the place. John and I however....LOVED EVERY SECOND!!
This is Livy and Lucas. Livy is the neighbor accross the street. She and Lucas are only 3 days apart. They had so much fun playing in the snow. I think more than anything they were just so intrigued by this new white stuff that they kept just running around kicking it. Aren't Livy's little boots soooo cute!

Lucas and mommy played in the snow for like over an hour. We had a snowball fight with Dad and the camera. And Livy's big brother Liam came over for a snowball fight too. I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid. It was the most perfect snowball snow. I wish we could have had a snow day today like the schools and played all day long! :)

If you don't believe that we got four inches...this is what was left this morning on the wall by our house after the sun had been out for an hour. I can't wait until we get to Idaho and can play in the snow again...cause by the time I get home I am sure this snow will be all gone.

SNOW!!!! In Vegas!!!

This is from outside my office (well my Boss's office) window. It is SNOWING in VEGAS!! I love it. I am so excited. It has been snowing for like 3 hours and now it is sticking to the ground!! Isn't it glorious beautiful snow!

Lucas Hugs

Lucas today decided that he wanted to start giving really good hugs...All the time. This is Lucas hugging his daddy...I dont' think you can hear it very well but he goes "aauugghhh" when he gives hugs like he is squeezing sooooo hard.

Playing

Lucas LOVES to play. Today was no exception. He decided he wanted to play in the cupboards in the kitchen and this is what we came in to find:

He was having himself a wonderful time. Throwing the bags like he was sitting in a big pile of leaves. John and I had to take a picture. It was just too funny.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am only 2 weeks late but I guess it is better late than never. Mom and Dad and Katelyn and Garrett all came down to spend Thanksgiving with us. We had a great time. The food turned out wonderful and we had so much fun spending some time with everyone. Here are a couple of pictures.



After Thanksgiving and some Black Friday shopping we all went Bowling at the South Point. We had a lot of fun. Notice that my score (R) was higher than John's (J boy)! That's right...I beat John bowling...It is like the only thing that I can beat him at. We really did have a lot of fun. The place was packed but it was really fun.

Me and my honey in the back of dad's car on our way to go bowling. Isn't he just freakin' hot! I think so. I just really love him.
