Luke's fun bouncer!

This bouncer is perfect for Luke! It's a bouncer, ball pit, slide and pool all in one! Plus it's just the right size for him. He can climb everything on his own without me having to be right there. It's great! He had some friends come over today, and they had a blast!


He loves the slide with the water spraying on him.His buddy Kyler really utilizes the whole playhouse, he's all over each part! He's so busy, he can't keep his pants up! (Ashley, I thought you'd be happy that I picked a picture of him with his bathing suit falling off ) :) Luke, Grant and Kyler having fun in the ball pit. Three boys is just about all you can fit in there.

Popsicle break!! Sure, they're Pedialyte popsicles.. since that's all we had, but they couldn't tell the difference!

Kyler and Grant enjoying their popsicles. Camden and Connor decided they just wanted to relax and take a quick nap in the shade while the other boys played. I'm sure next summer they will be all over the bouncer too!

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. On Friday, we stayed the night with my parents in Angleton. Luke had fun playing with his Grammy and Grandaddy. He also got to see his cousin Kylie, so they had fun playing together. Although when he is with Kylie, he's not just Luke, he's "Baby Luke". So we all get in the habit of calling him Baby Luke the whole time. We joke that she's gonna keep calling him Baby Luke forever.
Here are a couple of pics:

This was the best we could get with Luke. He's not into taking pictures... or anything that requires him to sit still. :)

Then on Sunday we spent the day at Jared's parent's house. Luke had a blast in Mimi and Pepaw's pool! He would have just walked right into the water if we weren't there to stop him. He can't get enough of it.

We also went to see my grandmother over at my uncle's house. I'm so glad Luke was able to spend some time with his Great Grandmother!

Video of Luke's first cake!

Here's the video of Luke destroying his first cake!

Luke's first birthday cake!

Well.. it was a month late.. due to everyone being so sick.. but he finally got his cake, and he loved it! We were going to try to have a big party again, but it just seemed like it was going to be so hard to find a day where everyone would be able to come.. so we just decided it would be easiest to give him his cake on Easter, while family was together. I know.. not all family was there.. and I feel bad about that.. I wish it would have worked out the first time.. my fault. :( I'm sure Luke won't mind getting more cake again though.. we can do it all over again. He doesn't realize it was for his birthday. He just thought mom was being really nice and letting him make a huge mess with his food. :)
He really had a blast with it. We got it on video too. As soon as I can get it on here, I'll post that. Here are some pictures of it all.

All clean for now...
I'm sure he could have gotten even messier.. but we stopped it before he made himself sick from all of that sugar!

What fun.. I'll never forget that day. :)

Happy Easter!

Here's Luke's model pose in his Easter outfit. He looked so cute!
The Easter bunny came and left a trail of eggs leading to his baskets. One was from Grammy and Grandaddy and the other was from the Easter bunny. :)
He didn't quite get the concept of following the eggs.. but he liked picking some of them up and throwing them and trying to eat them. :)

Grandaddy and Luke

Grammy and Grandaddy came to visit over the weekend.. and Luke got so excited when Grandaddy was showing him how to hold a golf club. Future golfer??

Just had to show this picture. :)

Luke's first Astros game!

Well, it took a year, but Luke finally made it to his first baseball game, and it will probably be another year before he makes it to another! It was fun.. but hard to really enjoy the game with a one year old.. he is just all boy and into everything. I love it though! Wouldn't want it any other way. :)
We had to really watch him around these steps.. and he didn't want to be held.. he wanted down to explore!Luke and DaddyMama and Luke Luke with is Mimi and Aunt LaLa

Fun with Pepaw!
