Trick or Treat!

Well, our little golfer had a fun time dressing up and holding his plastic pumpkin bucket, but he had no idea what it was all about. We were going to trick or treat down our street after visiting family, but after we saw that he didn't really get it, we just decided to pass on that this year. Next year will be different. But he did get to ring a few doorbells and hold out his pumpkin.. and he had fun with that. :)

Here he is getting his first look at himself. He thought the hat was pretty funny, and actually wore it a lot longer than we thought he would.
We didn't even bring his clubs with us, cause all he wanted to do was chew on them.

On our way out to trick or treat! Doesn't he look thrilled!

And to end the night, he got to eat a yummy happy meal at Grammy and Grandaddy's house! What a great day!

Just Hanging Out

Well, Luke has become quite the climber around the house.. and now his new thing is to hang from anything he can grip. It's pretty funny to watch. He is just learning so much from our mommy and me gymnastics class. He loves to hang from the bars and rings.. and it's just making his muscles so strong!

This was Luke's first time to eat a pear without me cutting it for him. He thought he was just Mr. Cool eating it this way. Guess I need to let my big boy eat like a big boy now.

Dewberry Farm and splashpad day of fun!

Last week, Luke and I went to Dewberry Farm with Ashley and her boys. Apparently it is only open to the public on weekends, but we were able to add our names on to a preschool class, so we got to go on a Thursday... when is was not so crowded. :)
They had a fun time playing around and exploring everything. It was just so hot and humid and muddy! Luke walked right into a big patch of muddy grass.. and froze. We both had mud all over our shoes and he didn't really like it. He kept trying to wipe it off.
Of course, the next day was gorgeous weather.. but oh well.. we had fun!

Here are some pics of our day:

I tried to get a picture of us on the train ride. He and Kyler were really excited to ride the train.. but we had to sit there for about 5 minutes before it started, so he was getting pretty impatient.

Fun on the slide! I think he wanted to go by himself, cause he would start kicking at me the closer we got to the bottom.. but it was pretty high up, not that he would care.. he's Mr. Fearless right now.

This bouncy thing was probably his favorite thing. He loves jumping! Gymnastics class has really helped his coordination. (I attached a video of him jumping at the end)

He didn't look too entertained by the horse that didn't move. Guess he didn't see that it was missing legs. Look at those red cheeks.. he played hard! And fell asleep quickly during the ride home. Unfortunately for me, he woke up right when we got home and didn't want to nap anymore.. so we needed to find something else to do so....

We went to the splash pad in the neighborhood! I figured it would be our last day to use it... and no one else was there, so he had it all to himself!

At first he just ran around the outside of all the water, until I ran through it with him.

Then we had to go play on the slides. Someone had put a bunch of the playground mulch right by the slide, so of course he had to check that out, and throw that down the slide.

What a full day of fun! I love my little man.

Luke and Kyler bouncing away!!!

First Face Scrape!

Well, it finally happened. Luke has fallen while running plenty of times, however, he had his first face plant on the sidewalk yesterday. He cried at first, but as soon as I picked him up, he was fine. We had a popsicle and all was well again. Poor baby. It looks bad, but it's getting better already.
Had to include some pictures of our little golfer. He said "golf" pretty clearly the other day when he saw his golf clubs.

First trip to the zoo!

Luke had his first trip to the zoo yesterday! He wasn't as excited about the animals as I thought he would be, but he still had a fun day. He had fun riding in the wagon and playing at the park!

Each time we stopped, he loved getting out of the wagon, and climbing up on the rails. He was more excited about that than seeing the animals. Here he is with Brett and Kyler.

Here he is watching the Sea Lion show. It kept his attention for a little bit.

Having a snack and watching some monkeys!

I think this might have been his favorite stop, besides playing at the park. For some reason he liked walking sideways on this ledge. He was just laughing and smiling at everyone. I think he thought he was the show for a little bit. :)

And here's the park. He had fun making music on this little piano wall.

Exploring all of the equipment.

Fun on the slide! All by himself!

And to end our fun day, we all got a little treat.. Well, that ice cream cone wasn't little.. so we shared it.

You can tell by those red cheeks he was worn out. We hadn't even pulled out of the parking lot and he was already passed out in his car seat. What a fun day!

Fun day with Kyler!

Luke's buddy, Kyler, came over to play recently, and they had such a fun day! Luke always loves having a friend to run around with.

Most of the day was spent outside on the bouncer, but they also had fun playing inside. Here's a cute picture of them coloring together.
Fun outside on the bouncer!
My friend Ashley, Kyler's mom, told me that the first words out to Kyler's mouth the other morning were, "Luke's pool". So, apparently, he really likes coming and playing on this thing. How couldn't they though? So much fun!

Cruise and fun with Luke!

Crystal, Mandy and I went on a 4 night cruise last week to Cozumel.. and I missed Luke sooo much! It was fun, but too long. I had never been away from him so, I was so excited to see him. All week long I've just been wanting to enjoy my time home with my Lukie. The day after I came home Ashley and I took our boys to the Noah's Ark Splash Pad. They had a lot of fun.

Look at that face! I think he was a little shocked at how fast it was. I usually go down slides with him, but this one was small and everything was padded.. so he was happy to do it himself.

Luke and Kyler exploring the tunnel.

He loved just walking by himself in the water. Then he starting crawling on his tummy with his mouth and nose barely above the water. So cute! He was in a world of his own.. just having a blast.
Fun outside with Dada! As soon as Jared gets home, Luke wants to go outside with him and drive his truck. He looks at us and moves his hands like a steering wheel. It's another one of his favorite things right now.

Luke and I went to the Cole's Crossing park today. He had fun climbing on the equipment.. and then he saw this little tricycle motorcycle.. he really liked it. It had all kinds of buttons that made sounds. Maybe Santa will bring him that for Christmas.
