Lovin Yellow Boots!

Kingston woke up from his afternoon nap, pleading to put on his little yellow galoshes.... how could I resist a little man in a diaper and yellow boots.. BRING IT ON!

He was LOVIN his yellow boots!! He wore them all through dinner and when it was time to go outside... well his yellow boots went too!

A few of Kingston's Expressions..............

Kingston has become such an independent seeker. He has a little temper that flames quite often and usually with a screech that sends you to your funny bone kind of feeling.. totally annoying! We call him the destroyer (London & I) He is constantly into everything, climbing onto everything and making a mess of everything. He loves balls, making baskets with his hoop ( really, he makes awesome baskets!) and even putts a golf ball pretty darn good for a 15 month old.(if you call it putting.. we have video I should post) He has good eye coordination and athletic abilities. Not only does he like to play hard, he loves to sing, dance and read with Lond's and I, however he can only sit still for about 1 min. than he is up and down and into everything again. He loves taking rides on the scooter, in the wagon and totally loves to play with swords.. he is a true boy!

Kingston on the other hand is the sweetest little guy. He will spread the love of kisses to almost anyone, especially to London. She doesn't always appreciate the slobber that comes with the kiss. Kingston is our tickle monster and will try tickling you randomly. He is a character and a silly one at that! He does becomes bashful at times and hides his head & face into me when he meets new people.
Kingston takes my breath away with his silly smile and his adoring love for me.. he is a mamas boy! YEAH! I love my little prince..

Happy 15 months Dude!
Did I mention bubbles.. oh yeah, he goes crazy over bubbles!

McNICOL Cousins

While I was back home to Nor Cal, I managed to grab a shot of all the McNicol Grandchildren/ cousins... We were not even shooting for more than 5 mins. when Kingston took a spill on the asphalt. It was pretty bloody, his nose and mouth were bleeding. Needless to say that was that, we were done taking pictures. Here are a few of the shots:

Might I add....

London was not very happy in the pictures. Umm, yeah she had pee peed her little pants with no extra clothes to change into, right before the shoot. As you can tell she was not thrilled with wet undies & tights.

Girl Cousins

These of London were taken right before her accident.

I loved the blue wall,

& she was just standing around playing with a drain so I snapped a few of her. Silly Girl!

I completed my FIRST Sprint Triathlon Yesterday!

The race was exciting and so rewarding!

I have dreamed of competing in a triathlon for so many years and finally did it!

This however is not my last!

From the moment i signed up for the Tri ... those butterflies begun fluttering inside...

throughout my attempted training ( with two kids & MY schedule)

those butterflies continued to rage within me....

and then followed me to the race day!

After entering the water and pushing through the crowd of athletes the butterflies turned into a drive of competition.... I wanted to finish strong & I wanted to finish at my best!

Over all, out of 529 women I finished at 44

For my oldie age group 30-34

I placed 16/115

Not too shabby...

I am happy with my finish time of 1:31:17

NEXT time I hope to shave 10 mins. off my time!

Anyone up for a Triathlon in the next couple of months?????!

SWIM! +

Here we have the purple caps off for the .5 mile swim. I am somewhere in the crowd.

Running from the water to my bike.....
Still running, it was quite the jaunt from the lake

Leaving the start of the 10 mile bike ride.......

I was stoked... they called my name as I came running through the finish line.

I had to do a bit of hoot & hollering!

Finishing!!!

Hello Blogger World!!!!

It has sadly been almost 2 months from my last post!! Ahhhhh!
It is seriously amazing how ones home & life can become so busy!

The month of March brought lots & lots of visitors to our home & Las Vegas!

YAY****

We loved every bit of it, but really!

Every week and weekend we were blessed to see so many of our loved ones.... family & friends!

For a quick update and proposal:

First the Family update:

Our Little guy... Kingston is full on walking and cruising everywhere.. can I say BUSY?!?!

Oh! and he Chants R-E-B-E-L-S with the arm movements, Ha!

I can just Eat him up!

He is turning ONE this next week... are you kidding me? Yeah! Wow Time flies when your having fun!!!!! And we are!!!

Our little Princess... London is ever so changing and such a mamas girl!

She is now in Sunbeams and comes home from church singing a full on new song and telling the best stories she learned in class.

She has the most amazing imagination and has me playing some kind of play character EVERY day... most of the time I am the wicked witch, stepsister or evil Queen.

I am yet to have my place as the Princess, it is just not going to happen in her story.

London really keeps us busy with questions and talking our ears off...

She helps me see what is important and loves me no matter if I am having one of those days, she is constantly telling me that she loves me and wrapping her arms around my neck.

I love my little cuddle bug!

Robbie, is busy, busy busy working & providing for our little family! He seriously is the hardest worker I know... sooo when we get to spend time with him we are thrilled!!!

We love our Daddy!

Me, myself & I, where do I start? In a nut shell... I have been teaching classes,

being a mom to two busy bugs ,working with the YW (the youth),

training for my triathlon ( less than 4 weeks away),

building my photography Co. (Photography by Marsha Ann) which has been successful thanks to many of you who spread the word;)

All in all Life has just kept the Lueck home busy and fruitful, ahhhh (deep breath)!

Keep posted though we are not finished blogging,

just refreshed and gearing for the upcoming months!

Soooo.... My Proposal,

GRANDMA-MA IS IN TOWN....

Grandma Lueck is in town for awhile! (Robbie's Grandma)

The kids and I went over for a visit Wednesday, they just loved Grandma...

London was eating her up and couldn't wait to make our visit.

Here's the Kingsters with Grandma-ma.

Crazy about Valentines

So... the truth be known, I have not always been CRAZY about Valentines Day....
I always thought it was a cheesy holiday to celebrate, a bit overrated!

With Kid's all things are viewed in a different way!

London & I have had so much fun making her little Valentines for her classmates, goodies galore and decorating our home.

It helps that she gets so giddy and excited over the simplicity of celebrating any holiday.

A glimpse at our week:

Miss London gave out her FIRST Valentines to friends!

She worked hard on making them and signing her name!

Kingston is growing soo fast and on the G-O!

This boy has no fear!

Valentine messages on the sidewalk.....

Kingston's FIRST Popsicle!

It has been a fun and full week!

Wishing you all a Superlicious,

Fun-abishious,

Love a-duba DAy! (wink, wink)
