18 months old!

I can't believe Luke is 18 month old! He is such a BOY!! He has NO fear and thinks he can climb on anything!! He LOVES being outside and would probably live in his swing, if you'd let him. He is talking more. He now says....momma, grandpa, memaw (which sounds a lot like maw maw), ball, baseball, door, bye bye, hello, hi, bath, juice, cracker, cookie, bite, nana--for banana, (that's all I can think of at this moment...I know I'm leaving out a bunch!). He is wearing size 4 diapers and wears 24 month shirts and 18 month shorts and size 6 shoes! Luke can also show you the following body parts: nose, mouth, tongue, ears, eyes, teeth, belly and belly button! If you ask where he is, he immediately covers his eyes and plays peek-a-boo. Also, if he hears clapping or sees anyone clapping, he thinks he must do it, too!
Here are a few of his 18 month pictures. He is wearing his Masters golf shirt and hat (thanks to my good friend Sondae for getting them!).

Weekend in Oklahoma

This past weekend we took off with Memaw and Grandpa and went to visit family and friends in Oklahoma. Luke has had a really runny nose and a bad cough, but that didn't stop him from having fun! I figured it was just allergies and gave him benadryl, but that didn't seem to help. (He went to the dr. this morning....poor guy has a double ear infection!) We had a great time seeing lots of old friends at church on Sunday. Too bad Luke wouldn't cooperate and sit in church! Mommy had to take him outside....so, we played! Thankfully, mommy's best friend, Sonya came outside and kept us company after she played the organ! Most of the weekend was hanging out at Great Aunt Sue's house with all of the family. Too bad mommy didn't get the camera out and take any pictures!
Monday we headed out to where mommy went to school and where Memaw worked. Luke immediately saw all of the kids on the playground and thought he needed to join them. I swear, that boy will spend all day and night outside if he could! After the kids went inside, Grandpa took him out to play. Here are a few pictures of him playing on the playground...

We can't wait to see everyone again! And...don't forget....you can always come down here and visit us!!

Easter

Today was a great day!! We woke up and found the Easter Bunny had visited our house. Luke got a basket with a few goodies...some hot wheels, chocolate and cute baseball shoes! Grandpa made us his wonderful omelets and then we headed to church. After church, we ate lunch at home before heading off to the Ft. Worth Zoo. Grandpa bought Luke a bunny cake for dessert!Luke loved watching the white tiger walking in front of him. He kept waving at him!!Luke took the stick of food from me and starting feeding the bird himself! After I got the bird to stand on the stick, Luke tried to grab the bird and hold him!! He thought the peguins swimming up to him were cool!Probably his favorite thing of the day...riding the carousel!!! Look at that smile!We all had a great time at the zoo! I hope this can become a tradition for us each Easter!

PINK...

Pink Eye!!! Our house has been infected with Pink Eye!! I woke up on Wed. with a red eye. I wasn't sure if it was pink eye or not, so I went on the work and had the nurse look at it. She didn't think it was pink eye, but everyone else did. Luckily, the Dr. could get me in on my break and sure enough....Pink Eye! Of course, Luke woke up yesterday morning with it. He looks miserable. His eye is mostly red underneath and looks like he's been beat up. He has tons of goop coming out and it keeps matting up. He has medicine and hopefully his will be clear this afternoon.

Since he hasn't been on the eye drops for 24 hours, I decided to keep him home from babysitter again today (luckily Memaw and Grandpa came yesterday). I didn't want anyone else getting it! But, since he stayed home, he's missing Easter with his friends. :( I did take cupcakes to the babysitter, since I had already made them. I think they turned out pretty cute!!
We hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Easter!!

Spring Break 2010!!

We are back from Spring Break!! I can't believe how fast the week flew by (how come when we're at work, the week drags on, but on vacation it flies by??). We were busy the entire spring break and enjoyed our visit with Memaw and Grandpa!
We flew into Corpus Christi on Sat. the 13th. We went to eat and then headed to Whataburger Field to watch the OU Sooners play baseball!!

Luke and Grandpa chillin' at the game...

On Sunday, it was so beautiful that we headed to the beach. Luke went straight to the water, took 2 steps in and started crying. The water was too cool for him and he wasn't a fan! But...he sure did like the sand. He probably still has sand in his ears!!

Check out the beach dude pulling his sand toys!

This is SOOO much fun!!

On Monday, we headed to the park to play. Luke loves being outside. He also found a new love...the slide!! He had so much fun going down the big slides by himself!!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!
A little man to man talk!

On Tueday, it was rainy. We headed to Victoria to do a little shopping. Of course, Luke was the only one that got anything!On Wednesday, Mommy and Grandpa went fishing!! Mommy caught 5 fish and Grandpa only caught 1 fish!! It was cool out on the boat, but it was a nice and relaxing time. After we got home, we went to the park!

Look at me on the monkey bars!!!

No hands!!

On Thursday, we went back to the beach! The water was a little warmer, but I think Luke remembered from the previous time and wasn't about to put his feet in the water!! He doesn't know what he's missing! I'm sure when he gets back in the pool this summer, he will love it just like before!

Luke's new shark hat...I'm gonna bury Grandpa's feet!!

On Friday, we went to another beach!! We took a ferry across to Port Aransas. We went to the candy store and a few souvenier shops. We then rented an electric car/buggy and took a drive down the beach. It was a little windy, so that made it cool! After lunch, we took Luke to a ceramics shop to paint a fish as a souvenier. We had to leave it to be "fired". I can't wait to get it back!!!

Driving down the beach in our buggy...

On Saturday, it rained and turned cool out, so we just hung out with Memaw and Grandpa. As you can tell, we were super busy and had a great time on spring break!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful parents/Memaw and Grandpa!!

Luke's 1st Haircut

Luke has, or I should say had, the cutest little curls in the back. But...at times they were getting a little out of control....can you say frizzy!?!? So, Ms. Tanya cut it all off! Luke was the perfect little client...he sat so still. He looked at her crazy a few times, like "what are you doing to me?"! But, Luke looks like such a big boy now!!

Look at how long the curls were when they were all stretched out!

Chopping those curls off....
