Lucky Lane

Saturday night we went to some friends house for dinner. Lane played and played with Lawson and Paleigh until he discovered the slot machine. Once he saw it, playtime was over! He loved the slot machine's lights, loud music, and coins! He had lots of help learning what to push when. Too cute!

I just glad he's been introduced to gambling at such an early age. Just think how busy Casino's would be if they allowed kids to play the machines. With all the bright lights and music they'd be packed.
P.S. I'm totally kidding about Casino's and kids - we can barely afford to feed Lane, we definatley can't afford a gambling addiction.

Dinner Party

Lane had a dinner party of his very own tonight! This little table was a Christmas gift from Grammy & Grampy and Lane loves it! We usually keep it up in his playroom but tonight we brought it down to the kitchen so the kids could eat at their own table.
All three of them loved it! They all ate their pizza and had lots of great conversation or, maybe that was the parents. But they all did great. I couldn't get anyone to look at me for the pictures because they were all too busy eating. Camden and Emma both ate one piece of pizza apiece while Lane ate three!

Snow much fun!

This blah and rainy morning Lane and I are dreaming of the snow we got to play in while we were in Oklahoma for Christmas. That, and we heard through the grapevine that this little snowman is most likely going to be nothing but a puddle by the end of today. Clint built the snowman and Grampy and Lane went out to help decorate him.
The finished product. Lane kinda got in front of the little guy.

Lane had so much fun walking around in the white stuff.
And once he realized he could eat it, he really liked it!
Clint helped Lane make a snow angel while we were out playing. I think it looks just like Lane!

So Good

OMG! Clint made dinner tonight! He made cheese steak sandwiches and they were Delish! He made them for me once when we were dating, and that was the one and only time in 8 years he's cooked - ever!
Before Clint came in to cook, he put on his basketball shoes. He's playing for the first time in over five years in a Men's league Wednesday night. He said he needs to break his shoes in. Hmmm, I thought once you broke shoes in they were good to go. Apparently that is not the case, you need to break them in periodically. At least that's what my crazy husband thinks.
Lane was impressed with his Dad's skills.

The finished product. Seriously, I wish I could eat another one right now.
One happy customer. Lane was ready to give his toys another go after his yummy dinner, thanks to Dad.

The Monkey

I've been avoiding my blog lately. I have so much to post to catch up on Christmas that I haven't taken the time to sit down and download all the pictures. So, in the spirit of avoidance I'm skipping over my Christmas Catch-up post for now!Lane loves to climb on things. Today I caught him standing on the top of his new play table when I was talking on the phone. Not Good!
Lane loves to eat bananas. While we were at the Grandparents, both sets, Lane would beg for bananas on a daily basis. He usually got two bananas at a time from my parents and I wouldn't be surprised if he got the same from Clint parents. The boy can eat and like I said he LOVES bananas.And most importantly, his Grammy taught him what a monkey says and does.

I just hope he doesn't actually turn into a monkey!

White Christmas in Oklahoma (Lane's and Clint's First)

Merry Christmas 2009. We began in Longview with my parents (by the way this is Clint). Following our Christmas lunch, we hit the road to Bartlesville to spend time with Steph's family. On Christmas Eve, part of Oklahoma received nearly two feet of snow. Fortunately the eastern side of the state did not receive near as much, only 5-6 inches. This was Lane's and my first ever White Christmas. He only had to wait one year, I had to wait 34. On Saturday, we spent some time outdoors. Steph, unfortunately, was in bed with a stomach virus, which now have all been affected with.
"Dad, this will work much better if you get the sled on the snow"

It's safe to say that Lane enjoyed the snow. At one point, his Grammy brought him in and he went right back over to his coat and scarf ready to return outdoors.

I now have a microphone to I can be like dad, only more intelligible.

Big...

For the past few weeks Lane has been feeding himself his breakfast all by himself. He has become quite independent and does not want any help what-so-ever!
Probably because he knows before too long he's going to be a big brother. In fact, I'm sure that's it.This morning we had our twelve week ultrasound. The baby looks great, we could not be more excited!
