Big Boy Bed!

I bought Luke a big boy bed while we were in Ohio this summer. It was exactly what I wanted and cheap...so I bought it. But, it was black and wouldn't go with his room, so Papa sanded it down and painted it navy blue. It looks so good with his bedding...I LOVE IT! Last night, Papa and I were putting it together. Luke kept pointing and telling us "night, night". After we got it finished and all of the bedding on it, Luke climbed in. He didn't want to get out! Luke slept all night in his big boy bed!!! I can't believe he is growing up!

He kept pulling the covers back on him, when I would pull them off!This is how I found him this morning!

Weekend in Okla

This past weekend we went to Okla to visit some family and friends. I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I will share what I did take! :) On Friday we went to Central (Mommy's high school) for Homecoming. Luke wasn't too interested in watching the girls in their dresses....but, he sure had fun playing in the gravel and throwing rocks! During the game we stood in the end zone (which was where the scoring was going on) and he stood there and watched the boys, kept saying "ball" and was clapping! It was tooo cute!

This was Luke picking flowers during the first part of the football game!

The rest of the weekend we just visited with family and friends. It was a very good weekend, but we were both exhausted and glad to be home!

Luke and his Great Grandma

Luke didn't want the noodles that I cut...he had to take the LONG ones!!

Luke and his Great Uncle John (Memaw's youngest brother)

Luke and "Aunt" Heather having a little talk!

Luke took a nice little nap on the drive home!

An afternoon at the playground

Yesterday after work, I decided to take Luke to my school's playground, since the weather was finally decent. As you can tell from the pictures...he LOVES to slide and had a blast!

Elmo Heaven...

Luke was in Elmo heaven a few nights ago. He got his new "Elmo's World BALLS" book and his personalized Elmo cd (that sings his name throughout) in the mail. And to top it off, he received a package from Papa and Memaw of Elmo pajamas!! Can I just tell you that my boy LOVES Elmo!!!

Here he is looking at his new book, with his pajamas tucked under his arm!Even though they're long sleeved...he HAD to have the shirt on!Then, he decided that he NEEDED the pants on, too!!How cute is this boy?!?

Baseball Player...

Luke's favorite thing to do it play ball. I told my parents this weekend, that sometimes I feel like I'm living with my brother again! Luke has discovered that he can throw the ball against the wall and it will come back to him....I remember hearing that sound way too many times growing up!! :) At least he hasn't figured out how to lay on his back and throw it into the air....yet!
Here are a few pictures of Luke hitting the ball off his teeball stand. I have never showed him how to hold the bat. He just automatically picks it up (EVERYTIME) with his hands correct and turned to bat LEFT HANDED! I guess we'll see soon enough if he's going to be a lefty or a righty.

Grandparent's Day!

Luke has absolutely the best Grandparents in the WORLD!!! He is the luckiest little boy! He truly loves his Memaw and Papa! :) He still can't quite say Memaw and sometimes he says Nana...who care which one, just decide and start calling her something!! But, he definately has the word Papa down!! That is one of his favorite words and daily he says it (over and over!)! He is a Papa's boy! He lights up when he hears his Papa on the phone.

This morning we made a sign and colored on it for Grandparent's Day. It was a lot more difficult to get him to sit still and hold the sign, now that he is almost 2! Here are a few of the pictures I did get.

Happy Grandparent's Day Memaw and Papa!!!
XOXOXO, Luke

Mini Vacay!

Luke and I went to visit Memaw and Papa over the Labor Day weekend. It was a very short trip, but it was worth it. Luke misses his Papa very much! We are already looking forward to them coming back down south for the winter! Here are a few pictures to tell about our weekend.

I think he remembered how much he liked riding in it this summer!Luke and MommyPapa, Luke and MemawLuke on Unkie's 4-wheeler. Too bad he was a chicken and wouldn't ride it!
