This weekend was jammed packed yet again. We always have too much going on and not nearly enough days to do it in. Friday, Luke, Zach and I made a trip to Wal-Mart to get Cade (our neighbor Chad's little boy) a birthday gift, naturally this means that Luke "neeeeded" something too! Cade got some cute lego car thingys and Luke got a wheel barrel (like he really neeeded that!!). Poor Zach always get the brunt of the shopping trips, only getting more baby food!

Saturday, we all went to Chad and Amanda's for Cade's 9th birthday party. Chad rented a huge water slide for the kids, had water ballons and water guns. It was awesome and even some of the adults got on it! Luke must have gone up and down that slide a thousand times! I tried sooo hard to get a picture of him coming down it, but his little light weight self slid down it sooo fast (which he LOVED!!). We had delicious hamburgers, hot dogs and Baum's birthday cake. It had a hunting sence on it and was really cute. Luke says that is what he wants next year, but I am sure he will change his mind 100 more times between now and then.

Saturday evening, Luke, Zach and I went to have dinner at Que Pasa with MeMe, Nannie and Keith. We are all such a huge fan of Que Pasa. Thanks to Nannie and Keith for treating us to dinner!

Zach and MeMe (do you also notice the WTH look on Luke's face about MeMe kissing on Zach??!!)

Luke went home with MeMe, Nannie and Keith. He spent half of Sunday on the river with them, fishing, tubing and eating at Aunt Lou and Uncle Kenny's. I bet if you try really really hard, you could smell the spoiled rotten-ness from here!! He loves going there! You can check the pictures of them having fun on Renee's blog!

Sunday morning, I told Jeff that Zach needed a diaper change and that he just haddd to do it! Well, needlesstosay, Zach had dropped the bomb of all bombs and I couldn't wait to see Jeff's reaction to this! Jeff discovered the bomb and told me to watch Zach, he would be right back. He came back into Zach's room, all suited up! It was the funniest thing ever!

After picking Luke up on Sunday, he, Zach and I went shoe shopping. This was quite possibly one of the worst shopping trips I have ever been on in my life (and that includes the shopping for homecoming outfits and wedding dresses with Queen)! With two weeks until school starts, apparently everyone in Baton Rouge is shopping. We had trouble finding shoes, so finally after at least a dozen stores, the purchase of Zach a new umbrella stroller, snacks of Reese Cups and Kit Kats, diet coke, an orange drink that was spilled all over the seat of my truck, getting soaking wet in the rain, a potty break in a yucky convenience store, a bottle break in the parking lot, a mile of backed-up traffic on the interstate and 5 hours later...finally we made it home with the perfect pair!!! I am not including the picture of them now, but will very soon have a complete post dedicated to Luke's big first day of school!

Lastly this morning, I took Zach to see Dr. Pat for his 4 month old shots. Bless his little heart. Those nurses talk to him and laugh and he just flashes huge smiles at them! Little does he know that they are about to poke him with a needle!!! He is such a little trooper though, he cries a little but after some love-love from his Mommy he is all good again! This morning, he weighed in at 17.8 pounds and was 27 inches long!
