Mason turned one-week old last Saturday...
He was still looking a little "yellow"...
... but it was getting better.

Bubbles!
Thank you Slaughter family for the AWESOME bubble gun! 
Luke has loved playing with it and it makes THE BEST bubbles!

April 10th
Before I forgot about them - I wanted to post these pictures from Sunday, April 10th - Luke's last weekend as an only child :) hehehe
My parents came over to help Dave trim some trees (I say some, we ended up with about 8 truckloads of debris), Luke played and I sat with my feet propped up and supervised. :)
Luke has a yard full of dirt and a sandbox, yet, despite my pleas, his favorite place to play is in one of my pots.

He is OBSESSED with the water table that Diana gave him for his birthday...
Dave and Dad trimming one of the trees... looks safe, right???
Minutes before these pictures were taken my dad was on the roof with a chainsaw on a pole chopping down some branches that were hanging over our bedroom... wish I'd gotten a picture of that!
Pergola covered in roses...
Luke was playing this game where he'd COVER one of his cars in dirt, then ask me to take a picture of him holding it - then he'd line them up on the coffee table...
My view :)
Mason :)
After the car game Luke decided it was time to show Scooter some love (EWWWW!!!)

Easter at The Ranch
On Saturday morning Dave packed Luke-Man up and they headed to The Ranch (one of the clubhouses) for brunch, an easter egg hunt and to meet the Easter Bunny. Unfortunately I was still in bed with the world's worst sinus infection/fever - but thankfully Dave lugged the camera around with specific instructions to "take more pictures than you think you need to". hehehe
My new favorite picture :) Can't wait to get this framed and get it out every Easter.
Luke was part of the 1 - 3 year old category, which was more of an egg "gather" than an egg "hunt"...
I'm pretty sure that each and every one of those blue eggs made it back to our house and are now scattered in pieces throughout.

Luke and Daddy :)
I so wish I could have been there, but can't wait until next year when we bring BOTH the boys out to hunt eggs :)

Mulch, Mulch and More Mulch
I've been posting a little bit about our ongoing yard projects - and next on our list was remulching all of our garden areas (which is A LOT!!!). Since Dave had taken the week off we decided to have 5 yards of mulch delivered on Thursday.
Luke thought that the truck was pretty much the coolest thing EVER!
Until it left and he realized that there was a GIANT pile of mulch in our driveway :)

This boy was in HEAVEN!
While Luke was hanging out in the mulch pile, Mason was relaxing in his swing...
Friday morning Eric (Manda's brother - he lives next door) came over to help get the mulch moved and spread. Luke was ENAMORED with "Awic" and refused to help his daddy because he was too busy helping Eric. :) 
Dave and Eric scooped, hauled and spread most of the morning with the help of this little guy...
There were dozens of cars, trucks, bottles of bubbles and shovels in the mulch pile by the time the day was done:
At lunchtime we had to strip Luke down on the front porch and carry him straight to the tub... he was NOT happy that he had to come inside:
While the big boys were spreading mulch, I had Mason out back with me (he was soaking up some sun to get rid of some of his jaundice and I was planting some new perennials)
