Durango 2010!!!

It was a great trip... we needed the get-away and loved the spoiling from Brent's parents!
Boys being boys:

Daddy working hard to show Luke and his friend a good time!

Weeeeeee!

"Cka" anything with wheels gets called a car:

We started our trip with a Walmart run to get some essentials... Granddaddy treated Luke to a cart ride:

Luke was a wild man... he was the typical loud kid the whole store hears and says "Can't those parents CONTROL their child?" Ehhh, not when said child has this big grin!

Digging for pool balls:

Outdoor fun!

Busting a move... sometimes you just gotta DANCE!

Chilling out in the lodge:

On skis:

Self portrait:

A proper snow plow- thankyouverymuch:

Feeling good on day 2!

Back at the condo:

Luke got his first bloody shiner tripping on a bed rail:

Aunt Jamie asking Luke who was the prettiest... Luke picked this girl. Brent said, and I quote... "Really???"

Grandma introduced Luke to BUBBLES!

Out on the town:
The school house where we get pizza... it has been a snowy winter!

We are back home and still living on the memories... and bubbles!

Happy Valentines Day

Granna came to town while her Valentine went hunting... Luke was happy to fill in :)



My boys! I am a lucky girl!!!

Animal Noises

Granna taught Luke "Baah" while she was here... he has had "Moo" for a bought a week now!

Snowed In

We got a record 11 inches of snow over 24 hours!!! It was so neat to see everything covered in pretty white!

We bundled Luke up and took him out-- we were so excited to show him snow!

But, he didn't like it... he didn't even want his feet (in his adorable snow boots his Aunt Jamie bought him) touching the ground!

We squeaked out one smiling picture:

And helped Daddy shovel off the driveway:

But, Luke was more content to stay inside with Horsey and look:

While Luke took a nap, Brent and I built a 5 foot snow man... across the way there were little kids sledding down the hill... snow brings out the kid in us all, I guess!

After nap time, we made Valentines Day snow cones when Granna arrived! Action shot:

Who doesn't enjoy a cherry snow cone in February... I mean, REALLY!

15 Months

Luke is 15 months! He weighs 25#, 33". He loves powder sugar donuts, any kind of berry he can get his hands on, and cheese, cheese, cheese!:

He is very much into Daddy right now. Daddy plays rough and thinks of such fun things that make Luke laugh... boys need their daddy's FOR SURE!

He still loves reading books at bed time... his favorite ones right now are "Goodnight Corduroy", "I Love You Through and Through" and "I Love You Because You're You".

He is learning so quickly at daycare by watching others... One morning, I dropped him off and asked him for a hug... he looked at me like "Mom, not in front of my friends!" So, another girl jumped at the chance to hug, then a second girl hugged me, then he pushed her out of the way to get his hug! I melted. He was the star student this week at daycare too! We are proud of our little guy! :)
