Summer Fun with Granna!

Granna came to our house to stay with Luke for a week while Brent and I went on vacation! Pops joined in for two weekends in a row... Luke had a BALL! Every time I called to check in, my mom would say "I am sorry to tell you this, but I don't think Luke is missing you at all". Ouch! I think Granna was keeping him so busy, he didn't have time to miss us! Whew! What a relief to know Luke was in good hands! Prepare yourself for a WHOLE bunch of cute Luke pictures... Granna went to town with her Camera!

Luke sending me off with a kiss- Granna brought leis to make it official!


They painted pictures:
They fed the ducks at the pond:

And played with Lady Bugs:

Granna brought a flower sprinkler... this was where she scored MAJOR points with Luke!

Granna thought Luke needed Clogs :)

Pops wrestled... this is where he scored MAJOR points with Luke!
Pops brought Luke matching hats!

They brushed teeth on a "Big Boy" stool:

I called Granna one morning and she was at Hobby Lobby buying Luke fake fruit... she says every kid needs fake fruit... in 2 days he was pulling the fruit out of the basket by name!

They read books:
I called Granna another day and she asked (in a funny tone) "Does Luke like ice cream sandwiches?" I told her didn't know, he has never had one... then I asked "Is he eating one right now? And she laughed because I caught her! Granna bought Luke all kinds of yummies at the grocery store.

And Friday, Stepping Stones had their annual Pirate Party!

Luke walking in knowing there was a party waiting for him!

Ball Toss:

Ms. Marga cheering Luke on!
Coming home to our sweet baby... he changed so much in a week... he is taller, his hair is different, he has a new "shy" face, he requests "juice!" in the morning, and he is MUCH more talkative!
Luke did not give us the reception we thought we would get... he got really shy and wouldn't talk. As soon as he new there was something in the suitcase for him, he warmed right up!
Shark bath toy- so funny when his tail moves:
Saying "Bye Bye" to Granna and Pops... we may have to do some reprogramming next week (ie. scale back on the ice cream sandwiches and Elmo:), but these smiles are totally worth it!

Granna here--defending herself! We only ate TWO ice-cream sandwiches! And, I stopped Elmo, because Elmo was driving ME crazy! Sweetest baby boy on Earth. He goes to bed easily and wakes up happy as can be. Don't you and Brent need another vacation pretty soon????!!!!!
