Skateboarding

Lucas was playing in the backyard when he came and got me and said' "Watch the mom!" (what he says when he wants you to watch him)  So I watched him and he put down his skateboard and stood on it.  One foot towards the end of the back and the other in the middle.  Then he leaned back and made the front of the board go up, like an olly.  He kept doing it so I thought I wanted to video it.  But when I grabbed my phone, he didn't do t anymore.  But he did start trying to move it, which I did get.  He also threw in a little snowboarding grab.  Then came the aftermath of a two year old and a skateboard.  The picture was taken two days after the crash!

How we do Lakers Games

So tonight for the big game against the Cavs we decided to all don our Jerseys and cheer for our team.  We even decided to let Lucas stay up a little later to watch the game.  He was very excited in the beginning and screamed for a good portion-"Go Lakers!" in a voice that was incredibly loud!  I did manage to grab a picture of Lucas and Daddy watching the game.  Lucas was not able to stay awake, so we will tell him tomorrow of the victory (despite the injury to Kobe's shooting hand ring finger)  Dalon was very excited, although I doubt he knew exactly why, but he was happy!  He, too fell asleep before the game ended.  Go Lakers!

Welcome little Drew!

This morning we got a call from Michael saying that there were no open beds at Los Robles Hospital and so Adrienne wouldn't be going in until around 9 or 10.  We had Owen at our house and so we decided to go out to breakfast and then play at the park before heading up to the hospital.  Around noonish I called Michael for the update.  He said they had just broken her water but so far nothing, no worries.  About 30 minutes later I got another call to hurry up and get down there.  We were in Ventura, Michael and Adrienne were in Thousand Oaks!  We hurried and put Owen and my boys in the car and threw my mom's suitcases in the back.  We were almost to the freeway when we got another call.  He's here!!!  Wait, WHAT???!!?!?  Apparently, it happened so fast Adrienne didn't even get a chance to think about the epidural.  Then came the crazy news, he was 8 lbs 5 ounces!!!!!  That's a big baby for little Adrienne.  We got to the hospital and I got to meet my sweet little nephew!  They named him Drew Seth Barnett and he is absolutely beautiful!!!  Good job, Adrienne and Congrats to Michael, Adi and Owen for their newest member!
