More about Luke!


Okay, so I really just wanted to take a minute to brag about our little man! He is so smart! Really! He talks in full sentences and mostly understands everything. He amazes me all the time. He is such a good kid. Mostly mellow unless he's tired. Sounds like me. Haha. He is so sweet. He is always giving hugs and kisses and he loves his big sister! He wants to do everything that she does. He is such a boy! He loves robots, trucks, choo choo trains, basketballs, Buzz Lightyear, Ironman, Spiderman, and all the other action figures. We love him so much and I am a bit of a pushover when it comes to Luke. I still sing to him and rock him to sleep. How can I resist when he says, "Mommy, I want you." The funny part about that is now he is old enough that I can bargain with him and say, "Do you want mommy to sing to you or do you want to go in your bed" if he starts to fight me and he nods his little head yes. He is the cutest thing! We really have great kids! I couldn't be happier or feel more blessed. I love this picture of him. Amy Riley took it earlier around Easter time but it is so him.(Check out her blog. She is amazing and very detail oriented.)

Luke is 2 !






Well this weekend was a little crazy to say the least..I'll back up.. Thursday was Hope's dance recital and she was adorable doing her ballet dance to "The Candyman". Friday I worked and Saturday Hope was supposed to perform at Saratoga Splash.The following picture is minutes before she was supposed to dance and then came the rain..Really monsoon would be more appropriate. I felt so bad! The kids didn't get to do anything they wanted pony rides, slides, etc. So, instead we went shopping for Luke's birthday present. Okay, driving in a monsoon..not the smartest especially given our track record for accidents right now(Bern totaled his truck on Friday) but we were in search for a Buzz Lightyear.We even saw lightning strike a building and saw a little smoke rise. Then, 2 hours later..sunshine. What the heck is up with this weather! Sunday, we had both sides of the family and the Warrens over for Luke's birthday which we were planning on a bbq outside but of course rain. So picture 24 people in my house, guitar hero, face paint, dinner, and cake and ice cream. A little crazy to say the least! Luke had a good time though. He loved all of his gifts..everyone was so thoughtful, they were perfect for him. Luke kept saying,"Lukey spiderman robot". Cute but a little confused. Mom and Aunt Lara made him a spiderman cake and cupcakes. Thanks guys! It was so cute. Also, the kids got to get their faces painted. It turned out really good just really loud for a while..Oh and my sisters and Aunt minus Linds and me had their faces painted like KISS. Anyway, Love you all..more pics and video of Hope's dance recital as soon as Bern downloads them for me off the internal memory..for now enjoy Luke's birthday.
