Birthday Bash

We had a little family party of 50 people for Luke's first birthday. Every birthday I think I can't do this again...but for Luke's first...I had to.

This is a picture of the cute little man after a cupcake on his actual birthday. He loved it.


Here he is waiting to open all of his presents and visiting with all the guest. The hat stayed on for about 2 seconds.

I think he stayed on my lap for one present...then he was off to play. He got lots of fun stuff.

Here he is eating...even though it looks like he is gagging...on his cake. He only got to dig in for a second cause the Utah game was on and Chris was in a hurry to get the party going.

Me and my baby right before the cake.

One happy guy. Funny how at the begining of their parties they look so cute...by the end...white trash. Love him.

Tender Moments

To bad they are both sick and not feeling well. I think I heard Luke wimper a couple of times...think he was trying to find a way out from Owens hold.

Where Does Time Go?

From this...

To this...

Wow...time has flown by. My little baby isn't a baby anymore.

Here are some stats and facts on my Lukie!

Weight is 21 lbs=25%
Height is 291/2"=just under the 50%
Head is 46cm=just under ther 50%

Luke loves to walk around...correction...Luke loves to run around. The kid can't sit still. He no longer wants to cuddle...especially when he is tired. He wants to be held though when you are walking cause he likes to point at everything and have you bring him over to it. The kid is into everything. I need to put locks on my cabinets...not because I am afraid he is goign to get into chemicals...but for my own sanity. There is crap everywhere...all the time! Luke has the cutest smile and loves to flirt with people. He wills scream until you look at him...I have had to ask people to just look at him before so he would stop screaming. I think he looks identical to his brother at this age...I'm hoping that Luke's hair will get the curl...it is starting to in the back...so no hair cuts for this little guy. Luke loves to eat...apparently I didn't have to feed him only baby food until 1...but I thought I did (no teasing me). I thought I was over feeding him by giving him like two baby food containers at dinner...apparently that isn't enough and my pediatrition had a good laugh about that one. I am so scared to let him eat things that aren't mushed...but I did give him some cheerios the other day and he survived. He loves playing ball...especially with Noel...even though she trys to avoid him...but Luke just thinks she is playing with him. He is a little sensative...when you say NO in a stern voice he starts to cry. We sure love this little man and can't imagine what life was like before him...but i can remember a lot more sleep.

Picking Out Our Pumpkins

So I'm a little behind. We went to take the kids to pick out a pumpkin...my sister was supposed to meet us there...and after waiting for 45 minutes...decided to pick some pumpkins take some pictures and leave. Apparently Brooke went to the other pumpkin patch off of 90th...but I coulnd't call her cause she doesn't have a cell phone....seriously...who doesn't have a cell phone.

I was never sure if they could climb on the tractors to take pictures...so I didn't dare...but then we were leaving and everyone else was...but I still didn't dare.

Luke chilling in the wagon.

Seriously I can't get this kid to look at the camera...

Playing in the dirt...I swear there were hardley any pumpkins...it doesn't even look like a pumpkin patch.

Owen....not looking at the camera either.
