Dancing Fool

Who said "White boys can't dance?!?" Haha! Luke has started dancing when he plays one of his Elmo toys. He cracks me up!! Tonight I was finally able to get a little of it on video. He usually dances a lot more and moves around more. Still....it will crack you up!

Elmo Party

Luke's 2nd birthday party was a success!! He had several friends come and celebrate with him (thank you Aunt Sue for driving all the way from Okla for his party!). The kids played on his new swing set, drove each other around in his car, played with the bean bags and ate cupcakes. Everything was great...until...the swarm of the BEE's!! We had to move the party inside once the bee's smelled the cake! Here are a few pictures of the party (ok...so, there are a lot of pictures!)!

2nd Birthday

I'm a few days late...

Luke turned 2 on Tuesday. I can't believe he's growing up so fast! I made some Elmo cupcakes for his friends at Daycare and then we went to Chuck E. Cheese for a little fun that evening. This weekend we are having his Elmo birthday party!! Here are a few pictures of my 2 year old!!

Luke's birthday present

I gave Luke his birthday present early....a SWING SET!! He loves the outdoors and loves to swing and slide. He had so much fun playing in the backyard.

Trick-or-Treat

Luke dressed like a Hobo this year for Halloween. I loved his costume and was excited to get so many compliments on it! :) He only went to a few houses around the neighborhood. We went to the church Trunk-or-Treat before hand and he loaded up on the candy. If they let him pick out his candy, he always took suckers. I think we have a million suckers at home!!Of course, he found the games that involved balls....or throwing things!!!His favorite part of the night was the bounce house! He jumped right along with the big kids. I was afraid he was going to get hurt, but he held his ground! He loved it!!

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!!
