Luke turns 1

I can't believe our little Luke is already 1! We had a little party for him, and he had so much fun with all the attention, which he is totally not used to having! He has been walking for a few weeks - he is still wobbly, but he is getting better all the time. He loves playing with trucks, so we got him a big one for his birthday, which Isaac thought was pretty cool too :) 

His party was pancakes and pajamas - so I made his cake with a box and made pancakes with the mix, it turned out pretty tasty! 

Luke's favorite word to say is TRUCK, and he says it so well. He can also say ball, car, and bird. His year stats were (and our kids are always funky on these): 

Height: 28.5 - 5%

Head: 46.4 - 60%

Weight: 18.13lbs - 15%

Family Fun

 So recently, our friends were nice enough to invite us to Raytheon day at Breakers = way less crowded! It is a small water park but was super fun. They have these huge grass areas all over the park, which makes it so nice to relax with the kids when they're past tired, hence the picture.

the latest..

Happy Easter! Today was fun. Although, it is hard to explain the resurrection of Jesus Christ to a 2 year old, but he did enjoy the candy :)

So i figured out why I never post on my blog - It's because we have a super old and slow laptop where I put all our pictures. And it takes FOREVER to do anything on our laptop. So I only post once a month because I load pictures like once a month! I base my posts around pictures that I want to share, so that is why I don't post more often. And I just realized that my computer only downloaded half the pictures on my camera. So I only have one picture for you, but it's a cute one- Isaac was in time out, and I look over and he's reading a magazine we got in the mail, what a funny kid.

March Already?

Really. It's already March. It feels like it was just Christmas! Anyway, Here are some family pictures we got done a while back ( just realized that I didn't include any of us adults, oh well):

And here is what it is really like to take family pictures with two kids under two:







My three favorite boys :)

Birthdays!

So Isaac's birthday is Christmas, and Nate's birthday is January 8th, which is two weeks after Christmas! We celebrated Isaac's birthday a week later (I don't know if that is how we will always do it, but thats how we did it this year).

I made Nate a Reese's ice cream cake with brownies on the bottom-I thought it was good! Except it's melting in the picture.


I just had to slip this one in because I thought it was so cute. Their first time in a cart together at Costco! They did pretty good for the first ten minutes, it went downhill after that :)


I borrowed a car cake mold from a friend, and Isaac loved it! He didn't see the mistakes and messy details, he just knew it was a car and thought that was awesome. He had a runny nose forever-in case you are wondering why his face is all red around his nose.

PS-any suggestions for how to do Isaac's birthday since it is on Christmas?

Christmas!

Was Christmas really a month ago already? (almost) We had a fun Christmas/Isaac's birthday. This is Christmas morning after opening presents:

Of course Isaac, who got lots of presents, is playing with one of the few toys Luke got for Christmas! Isaac understood Christmas this year-we told him Santa was coming and bringing gifts and on Christmas morning and he remembered! He came running into our room asking to go downstairs. He also learned about baby Jesus and the real reason for the season-just want to put that out there too!



We went up to Pinetop with Nate's family right before Christmas for a family reunion-it was fun to play in the snow! Isaac actually liked sledding with Nate :) I was surprised.

Halloween

Halloween was a blast this year! We went trick or treating around our neighborhood with Isaac and he caught on right away, so he had a nice pile of candy by the end of the night. We also went to a kids party during the day which was fun, so he was hopped up on candy and sweets but was such a cute little construction worker. Luke was super man, and didn't make it very far out the door before falling asleep!
