Whew...

Well...we didn't escape the winter germs! Poor Luke has had a rough month or so. He still is such a boy and loves to play!

Before we got the last set of germs...we were playing and drinking some sweet tea...yes my little guy loves some of mommy's sweet tea! I just love this pic:) We were also able to go to the park...this was the night he got really sick. I didn't take a picture of that for obvious reasons...but I also wasn't at home when it started. Dave called me and told me that Luke was sick and that it was horrific...not good.
So after a few days of isolation...we had to get out and play with our friends.



Now today I think we have turned a corner! I don't think his system is at 100%, but around 2:00 today it was like my Luke was back.

We usually just sleep with our snuggly, but we've carried our snuggly around for the past week now.

While Luke slept today I was able to hopefully scrub away the germs. We're praying for a good night tonight:)

Introducing...

Trenton Cole!

This is my second nephew and boy is he a cutie! Trenton was born last Friday and weighed in at 9lbs 1oz

So now my mom is a grandma for the 5th time!

Trenton's big sisters are so in love with him and want to hold him all the time!

I was so thankful to be at the hospital when he was born. I'm still amazed at the whole process...babies are a miracle from God!

B is for Busy

We have had a busy week or so...fun busy that is! First we went to a birthday party and that was a ton of fun. I must say that these pictures are not the greatest. I'm hoping to get a new camera soon:) Luke loves him some Evie as he would say. He remembered this place and remembered that he was a little scared at first. Once people started coming in, Luke ran to the door and kept saying "GO," but once Evie got there...everything was good to go! The cake was cupcakes in the shape of Elmo...it was very cool! But as the kiddos sat down, all I could picture was red ALL OVER Luke. While no one was looking, I scraped most of the icing off and then gave the cupcake to Luke hoping it wouldn't land on his shirt:) I know he is a kid and kids get dirty...but I was still holding my breath. He ate a good part of it and then said ALL DONE...can you believe nothing got on his clothes...yeah! Let me say that I do let him get dirty...sometimes:)
Then we were able to go to a lax game with Evie and her family! Luke was in heaven...he had all his favorite things together all at once!

I know this is blurry...but I had to post it. A friend was in town visiting her family and we were able to head on over to play. They had one of those big trampolines...Luke LOVED it!

He just wanted to keep on jumping and jumping and jumping!

We've also been loving some warm weather. We've gone to a couple of parks, played outside a ton, and walked around our downtown. As Luke and I were sitting on a bench sharing a smoothie...I thought...this is the greatest!

I love playing with Luke, I love laughing with Luke, and I am just loving the stage we are in right now with Luke. He is just so much fun!

Snow + man = Snowman

What a beautiful snowfall to wake up to this morning! I really didn't know if we would get a real snow this year...boy we were surprised. Luke calls it "snowman!" When I was teaching, I loved snowdays! I always said it was a win win situation. The students win by staying home and the teachers win by also staying home:) So, I was thrilled that Dave was able to stay home and take Luke outside to play.
Dave said that he had a ball!

There is something about a daddy and his little boy:)

After a morning of playing with our toys, playing in snow, and eating our lunch...Luke passed out as soon as his head hit the pillow. I tried to get him to finish his milk...he almost did! He slept for 3 1/2 hours. What a great day of fun!
