Introduction for 1st Day of School

My family is the most important thing to me on this Earth. I would move the moon and the stars for them :)

 

 

Here we are at a Baron's baseball game recently. We are always up for an adventure!

Camping is one of our most favorite things to do! We love being in nature and enjoying all of God's creations.

We also LOVE to go to Lakeside Park and feed the ducks or walk on the trails!

Around the house

I just had to post this picture of my baby boy enjoying his bath. This is one of my favs!

Luke, Lexi, and TJ watching Daddy cut the grass...

We are really having to watch everything around the house now. Little man is into everything and pulling up on everything.

I leave you with a cute little vision-The daycare workers got quite a laugh the other day when Luke (who was buckled into his bouncy seat, inside his crib) decided he wanted to stand inside his crib and wear his bouncy seat like a backpack. SOOO wish they would've had a camera for that Kodak moment, lol.

Weekend @ Mimi & Pops

Chase had to work the race this weekend, so Luke and I came to spend the weekend with Mimi & Pops! We had such a great time! Luke took his first tractor ride...

We even went to the park with Aunt Kelly and Cousin Parker. Luke and Parker made some new friends, like the ducks...

And a turtle...

We had a family barbeque and Luke decided it was time he ate with the grown-ups.  So he knawed on a corn cob for a while...

We have a Crawler!!!!

One day before he turned 7 months old our little man took his first crawl. Granted, it was a one legged crawl where he dragged the other leg, but it was definitely movement! He is gradually starting to get both knees up, but he keeps dropping back down and to drag himself. He is growing so fast. It seems like just yesterday we were trying to get him to roll over to one side. Now we are trying to get him to NOT roll every time we put him on the changing pad! You can't keep this baby down!

So many fun birthday parties!!!

We have had so much fun at 3 birthday parties in the last 2 weeks.

Last week we started out with Miss Delaney's 3rd birthday! Thank you Claire for our awesome Diego backpack! (And letting me steal these cute pics, since my batteries were dead, hehe)

Then we went to Asher's 1st birthday party later that evening, but unfortunately my camera batteries were dead :(

We had so much fun though! He got to see his friends Asher and Piper! He was pooped out by the end of the day!

This weekend, Luke's cousin Natalie also turned 3! We had such a BLAST! His party was at The Play Place in Oxford Mall. I was quite surprised at how many things Luke could actually do. There were blow-up jumpies...

 

And lots of balls for Luke and his three cousins to play in!!! Parker is making his escape!

And a little school-bus-activity-center that captivated his attention longer than things usually do... (Luke with Aunt Sissy)

And tons of little moving rides...

He had to get some pics with a few special people before we left...

Birthday parties just tire this little one out!

Luke's First Easter

What a FUN FUN Weekend! We left out Friday evening and headed to Tannehill State Park to meet up with Mimi and Pops...

We had the best time! While there we went to the museum & rode the train. Luke even got to sit in the conductor's seat!

Mama and Daddy got him a big boy seat for Easter (along with a little basket of goodies). He thought he was Big Dawg McGraw!  (Ignore the drool, somebody's teething!)

Nanny & Pawpaw came down for our little Easter gathering too! Actually, I think they just came to see Little Man. They love them some Lukeman!

We left late Saturday night after Luke's bedtime and headed home so we wouldn't miss Easter service. We went to Chase's dad's church to surprise them :)

After church, we headed to Nae Nae & Pawpaw's house to take some Easter pics!

 Then we came back inside for more playtime with Pawpaw Buddy! Luke loved his cool new toy Nae Nae got him!

Then we finished off the evening with a sweet little visit from Nana & Pawpaw Mitchell! What an AWESOME weekend with loved ones!!!

A Week Full of Firsts!!!

This week has been the most fun week with Baby Boy! Being on spring break has been such a tease for when summer comes. I feel like Luke and I have such a stronger bond now that we have gotten to actually spend a whole week together. It's going to be really sad going back to school and taking him back to daycare.

Oh well, enough of my whining ;) Here is what Luke has been up to this week...

He loves playing and bathing in the big tub now!

He also fed HIMSELF a WHOLE bottle...

He played outside in his pool for the first time today...

He also ate meat (turkey & rice) for the first time today and started pulling up on his own!!!!!
