Happy Father's Day


Luke and I made this special shirt cake for Bapa and Daddy...unfortunately, daddy got stuck in NYC on Father's Day and we weren't able to see him :( He's home now...and he ate the rest of the cake :)

Thank Heaven for little girls!



I have to say...boys are fun...but the whole hair and bows thing is a dream :)

Luke and Kylie



Luke was so happy to have Kylie at his birthday party...he just couldn't keep his hands off of her. He had so much fun trying to help her walk...and he loved making her laugh!

Happy 3rd Bday Lukey!



Luke wanted to have a Diego party for his 3rd BDay...it ended up being wicked fun to decorate for and plan. Thanks everyone for coming and making it such a fun party. We love having a full house!




We are definitely going to need some Driver's Ed at this house!




Mimi and Bapa got Luke this awesome TeePee...and it fits perfect over his bed! I'll have to post a picture of that later because it is too cute.

Bday would not be complete without a leaf blower and safety goggles...THANKS AUNTIE JENNY AND GEORGE :)

Throw High


This is Luke's favorite thing to do the second his dad walks in from work...Keith of course changes his clothes because he would inevitably rip holes in the arm pits of his dress shirts... and then they try to see how high Luke can go in the air.

Mr. Toad's wild ride






Well...I was happy to see that Luke found a toad on this particular day because a few days ago he said..."Mom...I found something," and carried over a dead chipmunk. BOYS!

Raising alittle Elle!





Elle is finally here! She arrived about 10 days late...but made an exciting entrance on May 29th @ 12:09 PM. She weighed 8.0lbs and was 20 inches long. After several days of me thinking that I was going into labor...she finally made her move and arrived rather quickly. I had a doctor's apt. and they were talking about inducing me if she didn't come over the weekend...and 5 minutes after I left that appointment...my water broke while driving down the highway with Luke in the back seat! I quickly drove to Keith's work...picked him up...and less than an hour later Elle was in my arms! She came so fast and furiously that there was no time for an epidural even though I was begging for one because the contractions were a minute apart. The anesthesiologist walked into the room taking his sweet time explaining everything to me...and then suddenly I yelled at him "your too late" and I started pushing and 2 pushes later...she was out! I couldn't believe it. It was quite an experience...and nothing like Luke's arrival.
