Parties and Pagents

So, I've been trying to figure out this whole blogging website and how to use it, and I found a book on Amazon that tells me how to use this blogger.  I got it yesterday and looked at it today, so I think I've figured out how to use this at least a little bit!  So let the blogging begin!!  We had a pool party yesterday, Joe smoked pork loin.

It turned out really good.  Luke went swimming for a little bit.  I got him a Cars pool float that he can sit in, but he's so heavy when he leaned back in it, it would almost flip backwards.  He didn't seem to care to much about the water.  I don't think he has figured out that he can splash like he does in the bath tub.  I am usually soaked by the time I am done bathing him.  He thinks its funny.  He had a good time at the party, and wanted to go to bed by 8.  I wasn't far behind him!  Today were going to the precious baby contest at Pony Express Days.  He will be wearing his "limo driver" hat (as I call it).  After that, were going to watch some mud drags.  I will let you know how the precious baby contest goes!

Update:  Well that baby contest was rigged!  Luke didn't win anything!!  But I don't care cause I know he is most precious and he could have beat all those older babies up cause he was bigger than all of them.  My arms just about fell off holding him so long!  They still hurt.  I feel like I did a ton of arm workouts.  He had a big weekend, and he is tired, that's why he said he didn't smile.

On another note, Joe and I think we have figured out why he doesn't sleep through the night anymore.  He's been sleeping in his pack n play and we just have him laying on the "mattress"  that came with it and we think he gets tired of laying on the hard thing so he wakes up in the middle of the night.  Of course he eats while he's up, but this morning he fell asleep while sitting in his boppy and I moved him over in between me and Joe and he slept for an extra two hours, so I just think he gets tired of that hard board.  So I ordered him a matress off amazon so I'm excited to see if that will work and he will let mommy sleep just a little more.  Luke is calling out for me to snuggle him cause he's sleepy so I must go!!
