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...

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!

Halloween Party

Luke's friend Clare {and her mom and dad and brother Austin} invited us to their annual Halloween party. Their entire street is blocked off, and everyone has some kind of little booth or game at their house, it is so cool! They even had huge big screens with the Rangers game on, Go Rangers! We had a great time. There were tons of kids, and a lot of our keeno group was there. It's hard to believe when our group started we were child free...

Sweet Skeleton Lukie

He had so much fun!

Here he is with Miss Margaret. She is quite the poser!

And so cute!

Luke and his buddy Clare, the two little red-heads...

And here are some group shots. Again... hard to believe when our keeno group started their were no kids, and now...

We've got quite the crew! Four sets of twins...

in fact, I think Luke is the only one without a little brother or sister...

for now at least!

hope you enjoy the pictures!

Happy Halloween Y'all!

The Tubes

We met Meagan and Mallory today at the Tubes. It was so great to see them! Luke was so excited and immediately had to give Meagan a big hug! We are going to miss them, as they are moving onward and upward, literally. They are moving North, but we know we will see them soon as they will be back for Halloween, Mallory's Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas, just to name a few. That being said, we still wanted to get together before they leave in a few short weeks, so Luke and I played hooky from school and work. It was great to see you girls! Here are a couple of pics. I wanted to get one of Luke and Mallory, but they was no stopping these two! They were off and running and having way too much fun! So... here is Meagan and "Guke" as Mallory calls him, which is too cute!

"Guke"

and Mallory.

could they be any cuter?

No. They couldn't. Here is Mal at the very top!

Thanks guys for showing us a great Tuesday at the Tubes!

Object of {Luke's} Affection

This is McKenzie, the object of Luke's affection.

She is darn cute.

This is Luke with that crazy "I'm in love" look

Hi McKenzie, my names Luke, will you be my girlfriend? and then he just goes in for the kill...
Ahhh, to be young and in love!

Zoo Time Fun!

lions and tigers and bears oh my! Actually, it was more like monkeys, turtles, and gorillas oh my! Today Luke and I met our good friends Emily and McKenzie, and their good friends {and our new friends} Paige and Parish at the zoo. Before we got to the zoo, we met and had a picnic breakfast at the park. We had so much fun! Then it was off to the zoo! We spent so much time looking at monkeys, turtles, fish, snakes, cheetahs, birds, gorillas, and rhinoceros that we wore the little ones out. Well, most of the little ones. You'll see what I mean... We decided we would have to go back and see everything else very soon. And so... It all began with the monkeys... Luke loves monkeys and could have stayed here all day.

here are Emily, McKenzie, Paige and Parish

Luke and myself. Hi y'all!

Luke couldn't take his eyes off the real live monkeys...

or the "big monkey"

I love this picture. They all loved watching the turtles. Luke started saying turtle today!

what's this thing?

a rhinoceros!

flamingos! I would ask Luke what a "bird says" and he would point and say "wheat wheat" {his version of tweet tweet}

picture out of sequence! mom and Luke with mr. Gorilla in the background.

Then we came upon this bench. And I said, hey y'all, you think they'd sit here so we could take a picture? So I plopped Luke down...

Added McKenzie...

Luke and McKenzie go to school together. Not to mention Emily and I have known each other since the 3rd grade... these babies were eating with their mommies at Mi Cocina before they were even born together.... and Luke has a slight crush on McKenzie. The teachers at school have informed me of this. And apparently he doesn't like to share, but that is another story... I'll do a separate post of luke chasing McKenzie around at the zoo before catching and kissing her... ay yi yi... these two. Here is Luke trying to show off for his girlfriend {don't tell Luke McKenzie has several boyfriends, he thinks he is the only one...}

Telling her a joke...

then we added Parish to the mix.

They were being so cute... {aka tired}

I couldn't stop taking pictures... then we decided we better get going, we got to the elephants, and everyone was passed out, except one little trooper...

Did you think it was Luke? Not a chance! McKenzie was our big trooper!!! Way to hang girl! It's this kind of stamina that girls must acquire early. It's needed for endless hours of shopping that will obviously be in Miss McKenzie's future. Call me anytime sweetheart and we'll go! I know you already know how to use a phone.

Sweet baby luke after a long fun morning

That was part one of Sunday Funday. Tonight we are off to see Beth and Taylor and go to Gatti Town. It's basically chucky cheese with movies instead of animals, but still lots of fun games! Next Sunday Funday we are off to the pumpkin patch, Whoo hoo! Cheers to fall y'all!
