Hot Wheels!

We got Luke his first little cars yesterday. He loves playing with them at daycare so we had to go to Toys R Us to get a new inflatable bath (mommy popped it this time) and he was being good so I got him a few hot wheels, a few matchbox cars, and one of the cars from the movie "Cars". He was so excited when I handed him the box in the store he started pointing to them and making all kinds of noise but that was nothing compared to when I took them out of the box at home. The kid squealed and his face lit up. It was so cute! He immediately started rolling them around on the floor. It amazes me how he even knows what the heck to do with them but I guess he learned it from the boys at daycare. Mommy and Luke played cars for a long time. I was laying on the floor and we had 2 cars and I would make them go all the way down the hall and Luke would crack up then run down the hall to get them and give them back to me just to do it all over again and again and again! So stinking cute!

He has also known the song If you're happy and you know it for some time now but it still cracks me up every time I see him stomp his little feet on the ground. He is learning something new every day! His new thing that seems to crack him up is when we close our eyes for a second. Then he will close his eyes and when he does he closes them so hard it takes all his strength. His fists are clenched and he is squeezing them closed it seriously makes us laugh so hard which then makes him laugh. He seriously has the funniest personality. Someone said he was going to be the class clown when he gets older...lets hope not but it could happen he is one silly kid.

Park Fun

Luke and I met friends at the park today. He had fun thinking he is a big boy.


Jackson and Luke "pinky swear you won't tell my mom"

Couldn't keep him off the slides. He thought he could climb up so he spent half the day trying.

Jack & Luke!

He loves this thing

He found this little lion he could climb in. He was so proud of himself for being able to do it!

Kaminsky Family Summer Party

We had our first and I'm hoping to be annual fake 4th of July party this weekend. We did it on July 3rd since everyone usually had stuff to do on the 4th. It was a lot of fun. First we went down to the pool where Luke and Rory really had a lot of fun. After that we went back to the house to grill up some yummy magic coffee rubbed flank steak and corn along with lots of other snacks and food. I have to say I was absolutely horrified at all the junk my kid ate and how dirty he got. He had about 7 or 8 slices of watermelon (Jason counted 6 that he gave him and I gave him at least one or two pieces myself) and then Auntie Loralyn filled the snack cup with baked cheetos and Luke and Rory sat in the wagon and ate tons and tons of them until they were both orange. Then when it came time for dinner Luke didn't touch his burger but did eat the pickles I put on his plate. Not to mention the bites of Smores he got from me and who know what he got from other people. He doesn't normally eat that much bad food in a week let alone one evening! Then I have no clue what he got into because he had black soot like stuff all over and then he was playing with the sidewalk chalk. He was soooooo dirty. As soon as our guests left him and I took a shower to get him ready for bed. We had an amazing night and want to thank all of our bestest friends for coming! Here are some of my favorite pics:

At the end of the evening my very dirty child

After his shower he is getting ready for bed doing what he does best bottle and running his fingers through his hair.

This little dude is so darn cute!

Luke is all boy running around barefoot getting dirty and pushing a dump truck.

Jason was trying to show off Luke's grilling shirt and his apron but Luke did NOT want that to happen.

Being silly with a spoon

Hi favorite thing to do after I put away all of his toys, throw them off the table and sit in it

He LOVED pushing Scout (and some Yogurt) in the stroller.

Cutest Pj's ever!

No I'm serious my favorite pj's ever!

This video is of Luke and the chimp Grandma and Papa brought back from their trip to Idaho. Luke loves it!

Talkative little boy

So we have a little boy now. All signs of baby are going away. The last week he really all of a sudden looks like a little boy now. Plus he is repeating everything! The other day I was joking around because Jason was being his normal smart ass self and I said to Luke tell Daddy to shut up and sure enough Luke said Shu up. We were dying laughing. He also said bounce bounce, kitty kitty, and hi that day. Last night Luke and I went to dinner with Lindsay and when we came home Jason was home and said hey guys and Luke looked right at him and said Hey. Then as he was getting into something I said please don't do that and he said do that. Its really funny to see him start saying things. Some things I'm not sure if he knows what they mean but I know for sure he knows bounce (since he bounced every time he said it) and Kitty. We really have to watch what we say now. Earmuffs are in full effect.

Luke is a very silly little guy. He thinks he is hilarious. I love watching him do stuff because he thinks it will make us laugh, and most of the time it does!

Vegas Gangster Style

On our last night in Vegas we met up with Jason's boss and her family at Circus Circus for dinner. When we got there we saw a man and his son taking pictures like this and I could hardly stand it they were so cute so on our way out we had to have it done. It was 10pm and Luke was exhausted but as usual he was a rock star when it comes to having his picture taken and did a great job.

My bad boys!

The cutest little gangster in the whole wide world!

By the way, Jason would make a horrible gangster. They had to keep telling him to stop smiling and be serious. It was too funny!

Vegas!

Wow I'm having a blast in Vegas. Its been lots of family time! Luke has been amazing on the trip. He slept 12 hours straight our first night here! We have had an amazing babysitter Mariko who really has let us have some adult fun and taken great care of our little guy. Man Luke sure made her work hard for her money last night. Last night was so much fun. We got out without the little guy for 6 hours! I can't even believe we stayed out until a little after 1am. Man I haven't done that in a long time. We went to see Jay Leno live. Man what a good show. It was an hour and it was so funny I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Funny enough before we left for the show we were all tense and fighting. It was a group of Jason, Josh (my Brother in law), Chris, Becca, and I. The restaurant we were going to eat at was an hour wait and we had an hour to feed Luke, get him to the sitter, and get a taxi to the show. We were all upset with everything anyone else said but we finally ate at a little sandwich place ran Luke up to the room made some cocktails got in the cab and everything went back to normal and fun. After the show we went to the Venetian because we had $25 in free slot play. Jason, Chris, and Becca played the slots while Josh and I went to the bar and talked. Really feel like Josh and I bonded and it was great! I love having another brother (now I just want a sister Kyle or Josh!). After the Venetian we tried to go to a bar Chris and Becca used to go to but it changed a lot so they went back to their part of town while Josh, his friend, Jason & I headed to the Mirage. We found this bar that was buy 1 drink get 1 free and they had great music and it was nice to hang out and have a little fun!!!

Luke loves hotels. He is so funny as soon as we got into Vegas he was very quiet and not really looking at all the sights and sounds of the casino. I thought he would love it. As soon as we got in our room he was running around laughing stomping his feet and having the time of his life! Haven't taken many pics except for some in the room and I will post those later!!
