Now THAT'S some hair!!

Ummmmm, yah!!! Since LucasJon idolizes his dad, and wants to be just like him, he thought he would grow out an afro like his dad had in the 80's!!!

I THINK he has accomplished it! Holy man, THAT'S some hair! We won't go into how long it takes to get it to look this way, or how many tears are shed because LucasJon can't seem to keep the snarles out of his tight, curly locks. Or even how many times dad threatens to buzz him......LOL!

But here it is, the ultimate in "Uncle Fuzzy's" (Anthony's nickname for LucasJon). Can't wait to put this one in his scrapbook!

Some Favorites.......

I just HAD to share some pictures with all of you! I absolutely LOVE this picture of Lane and Anthony! Anthony grabs Lane by the hand and says, "om on pupu!" (Come on Papa).

There is a picture of Anthony spinning on a contraption at the elementary school playground. He was laughing so hard as he spun around and around!

Then we have the picture of Anthony coming in after playing in his pool his papa bought for him! I had to post this one, if you look closely his little swim trunks are falling off!

And last, but not least, Anthony and his Uncle Lance, the "cool dudes"!

How very blessed we are to have Anthony in our lives. We all love him to pieces, and his personality is out of this world! Such a happy, smart, funny boy!

Don't Blink......just like that........

I cannot believe it, but my Lance is learning to ride MY motorcycle!!! He is so good at it too! Wasn't it just like maybe YESTERDAY that I had him? That lovely December 22nd when my water broke FIVE WEEKS EARLY and lo and behold 1:26 a.m. on December 25, 1993 appears my little Christmas present.............

I'm not sure WHERE that time goes, but my baby LucasJon just turned 12, and I swear it was this morning I gave birth to him! Okay, okay, so I am exaggerating a bit........but seriously here. I could not agree more with the country western song "Don't Blink" cuz "just like that, you're six years old and you take a nap...you wake up and you're 25 and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife........"

No doubt about that one. All I can say is I am so incredibly proud of my boys and the young men they are becoming. I LOVE that Lane and I are able to give them so many great opportunities in their lives. That we are able to allow them to explore so many things.

I love you boys with all my heart, and hope you know just how very proud of you I am!

Love,

Mom

"Anthony's Uncle Fuzzy" Updated!

LOL, I'm sure you have seen the picture of LucasJon in my sidebar of this blog. Well, seems that "Uncle Fuzzy" is growing his afro once again. Just thought it would be cute to post a new picture! This is a self portrait by the way. He is quite proud of his afro. We won't discuss the looks and comments he gets when walking through the stores with me. And, of course, EVERYONE wants to touch it!

Wrestling Season in Full Swing!

As usual, the boys are keeping us VERY busy once again. The wrestling season is in full swing. LucasJon was competing at a Dual Meet in Lancaster, WI in this picture. He had a tough time since these kids were all hand picked to compete at this meet. But, I am so proud of him because he DID NOT give up. He wrestled all five matches with everything he had! It was great to see him not psych himself up to lose before he got out there and tried!

Lance is amazing all of us right now. He is a freshman in high school and has managed to win a wrestle off allowing him to wrestle on the VARSITY team! He always gives his sports 110%! I don't think I have seen someone with so much heart before. Above he is wrestling at the Campbellsport meet. He did great, but ended up losing this match. He does, however, have an awesome season going! He and Lane know the numbers, but I want to say he has about 20 wins and only 4 or 5 losses. Something like that.

Okay, enough mom bragging for now! LOL
