Play Land Party!

Luke got to help Savannah celebrate turning 3 at her church's play land... this place was massive:



But they did great!

Cal said, and I quote, "I hope one of these kids has a melt down so I can go in there and save them-- at some point, they snuck in. Here are Brent and Cal being good dads and keeping the children safe ;) Brent is spinning Cal around in the mouse trap thing:

And climbing cargo nets:




This is a face of a child who is in distress and needs parental supervision :)



Happy birthday sweet Savannah!

Your Minnie Mouse party was so much fun!

"Summer Brent"

Brent has the next TWO WEEKS off without school!!! No stress, no worries, just a job, a kid and a wife who are loving every second we get with him!

Brent is trying to tackle his "Honey Do" list as well, so we took a trip to Home Depot on Saturday- Luke woke up and I asked him if he wanted to go buy paint for his big boy room and he whined "I want Daddy to coooooomeeee"... Lucky Duck, Luke!... Summer Brent WAS in fact coming on this errand! There was a worksop going on and Luke got to make his own treasure box with Daddy's help! They hammered the box together:





And they painted it:


Ta Da!


Date night! With cloth napkins, low lighting and a babysitter... ahhhh.



Playing with friends- we were celebrating the completion of Tim's MBA! Yay Tim!



The next two weeks are packed with fun... baseball games, football games, waterparks, concerts, and scrabble re-matches! Happy summer to us all, but mostly to my Summer Brent! Ha!

My song!

Luke really likes the "Alleluia song"... last night Brent turned it on in the car and Luke gasped and said excitedly, "My song!" I just love hearing him sing along!

Milestone: Poo Poo ;)

This is the face of a boy who has just gone POO POO IN THE POTTY!!! WHHHHHHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

Mrs. Vanessa called me from day care with the news that Luke came running out of the bathroom, pants around his ankles, screaming he had just gone poo poo! Luke could hear me squeel with joy through the phone! He was awarded the scooter that has been sitting in my car for weeks taunting him,

and a meaty pizza WITH APPLE JUICE for dinner (Luke also announced to Papa Murphy's pizza that he indeed had gone poo poo in the potty!- they gave him a sticker :).

Lukey, your scooter looks just like Corduroy's! Momma and Daddy are so proud of you!

Never a Dull Guys night!

Brent organized a Sunday School guys night at mini golf last week. To spice up the competition, they would all be competing for a thrift store green jacket (similar to the Masters). There was a 3 way tie,




So the 3 guys had to dance off for the title on Dance Dance Revolution



Wade won (I think it was that he performed without shoes:) and was awarded the prize

To be worn to Sunday School the next morning :) Looking sharp, Wade!


The funniest thing about the whole night... all of these big, tough guys lined up at the prize counter and cashed in their tickets for prizes to take home to their kids.

Luke's Romania- In Pictures!

Luke got to go to Memaw and Grandaddy's house for part of the week-- they hung out at the pool, went to the Children's museum and Dinosaur museum/Butterfly museum. He hung out with Aunt Jamie, Uncle Chris and Aunt Christy and celebrated July 4th with them! Then he moved over to Granna and Pop's house where he swam some more, played hard, filled up a "treasure box" of rocks and fun finds on a nature walk :) and played with Aunt Melody (I think he ran her around pretty hard!) and Uncle Justin(Luke was initially scared to see Justin because he remembered him as the tickle monster!- Nothing gummy worms won't fix and now they are friends! Ha!) They all skyped with me and loved my boy so much I didn't worry a second while I was gone... our families are truly a blessing and Luke LOVED his summer visit!

In no particular order:
