Happy Thanksgiving!

There is so much I am thankful for this year. Family, friends and health definitely top my list! Here are a few of my favorite people. Oh, and it also happens to be my birthday, so I am thankful to have another one! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Mallory's 2nd Birthday Party!

How is it possible that Mallory is already two?! Wow. All those old sayings really are true... We got to see Meagan, Mallory, and the whole gang yesterday, and we had so much fun! Mallory had an ice cream social party, and it was perfectly planned and very tasty I might add. Here are a few pics from the party. Luke loved getting to see Meagan and Mallory. He was all smiles, until I finally got the camera rolling, naturally!

Miss Meagan and Guke, as Mallory calls him :)

Mallory is the sweetest little girl, and wanted to share her ice cream with Luke.

What's this? Thanks Mal!

Seeing these two together again made me smile. Happy Birthday Mallory, you are the sweetest smartest little girl ever!

Thanksgiving Program

Friday was Luke's very first program! The Thanksgiving day program at his school. He had so much fun, until he saw us... thank goodness that was at the end. He was so darn cute, and made his mama and dada very proud. We love you so much Luke!

Here is Luke with his classmate Olivia.

Singing and very happy is his teacher Miss Tina's lap.

the turkey's got to sing and dance!

And the big finale! This is when we stood up to take pictures, and someone saw us... can you spot him with Miss Tina? They had me come up to the front and hold him for the rest of the show, which is why the pictures stopped here. Dad was running the video camera the whole time. Will have to post that soon! Happy almost Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for!

My Buddy, My Buddy, My Buddy and Me!

Do you remember those commercials for that Doll? Anyway... these two were just too cute together! Here are some more pictures of Luke with his new best buddy, Rowan.
Reading books together...

Taking their bath

thanks for coming this weekend y'all, you are welcome back anytime!

GO FROGS!!!

Saturday we headed to the TCU game to see the Frog's finish the season UNDEFEATED!!! Go Frogs!!! I love these girls. Not only are they just too cute, they are super sweet, and are going to make the BEST babysitters some day. Don't think I'm not already staking my claim... and sweet Haley looks like she could be Luke's big sister. In fact, no less than 5 people ask if she was mine. I would have GLADLY taken her home. Guess which one she is :-)

Go Frogs!

Megahand! Megadrool!

Thank goodness for this golf cart. It provided hours of entertainment. I'm not kidding.

Eye see you Emily!

See what I mean about these girls? And the golf cart...
As you can tell, Luke was really hating life...
Haley, seriously... I would so take you home with me!
Four more years... I babysat at 11.

Just hanging out with my new best bud.

and one more time... Go Frogs!

Perfect Company!

Our friends Roger, Dinah, and Rowan came to visit this weekend. They were the perfect company! Rowan and Luke are a mere 3 weeks apart, and they were soon best buddies. We had a great time with the Gragg's and hope they come back to visit soon! On Friday night we decided to just grill and chill. We invited the Leschber's over and Emily did a great job entertaining the boys! She played with them, read to them, and taught them a few things! Here are the boys eating Frito's. The only thing they really wanted to eat all weekend...

Rowan and Luke bonded quickly as they worked together to turn over the chair...

Singing and dancing with Emily on the fireplace,

and just chillaxing

Thanks Emily for keeping the boys entertained!

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken Sunday, and they turned out great {thanks again Haley}! I am holding the ones that might be on the Christmas Card off of here, since, you know... I don't want to ruin the surprise! I hope you enjoy these! Luke was not all that cooperative, as he just wanted to explore, and had no real interest in taking silly old pictures... but Haley still managed to get a few before Luke called time out. Hope you enjoy, and you will see the rest at a later date! And yes, this is his Christmas outfit, but I thought you would enjoy a sneak peek! Here is Luke after he had had enough.

Mom and Luke

Is this not the cutest picture? I love that smile!!!

And Mr. Serious...

Lukie of the corn

and a great pic with dad!

22 Months

We happen to get our family pictures made the day Luke turned 22 months, so ta da! Fancy pic alert! We got some great pics, thanks Haley! What is Luke up to these days? Everything! He loves to read books, play outside, and is just curious about everything! It's so cute to see him learning things and the way his eyes light up. This is such a fun time. Luke is still adding new words daily to his vocabulary and will ask you to read him his books. When he eats he likes to tell you if things are hot or cold. If it's hot, he blows on it, if it is cold, he shrinks his face up and says, COLD, BRRR!!! We are having so much fun with you these days Lukie, and wish you would stay this innocent, curious and sweet forever!
