Happy Birthday Lukie Boy!!

Luke turns 29 today.Yes that's right, Luke's birthday is on Halloween. I am pretty sure his mom's water broke while she was with her 4 older kids Trick or Treating. He always had Halloween parties and because of that he loves to dress up with the kids. Now that the kids are older and understand the whole concept of Halloween he kind of gets the shaft. I am going to get a little cheesy here. Sorry!



5 reasons why I LOVE Luke!



1. He is a great Father to our kids. He is so patient and is always doing fun and creative things with them.



2. He is frugal. Which can drive me absolutely insane but it also has helped me to be more frugal.(not as much as he would like.)



3. He understands that I need "me" time. He hardly ever complains about my girl nights, Bunco, or the 3 different girl weekend trip i took in a 6 weeks time.



4. He is one of the hardest working men i have ever met. He gets things done.



5. He is an awesome husband. He has never once said anything about my weight and he thinks pregnant women are sexy(hmmmm......... maybe that's why i was pregnant for 4 straight years).



Happy Birthday Luke. I love you! (he is so going to kill me for putting his middle name).



Luke at about 3. Anyone else see Parker in him?

Little Chubby Luke. Now do you believe me when i say he was chubby at one time? I think he was in 5th grade.

Luke in his glory days. 17 years

This is Luke today. I had to take it with my camera phone and he was not cooperating with me.

Baby it's cold outside

Okay maybe not outside but Sammy definitely thought it was cold inside. She really wanted to sleep with her beanie and mittens. After about 30 minutes i went into her room to grab something and i saw this. Of course i took it off because it is still about 80 degrees here. This girl makes me laugh everyday.

Family = Fun

This week for FHE we let the kids paint some pumpkins. They loved it! As you can see they started out by making faces and then decided to that they better just paint the whole pumpkin. Nicholas informed me that he was going to win the contest. Oh really? I didn't even know there was a contest. He is very competitive in everything he does. Hmm...... i wonder what side of the family he gets that from?

We didn't let Parker Paint, i just wasn't in the mood to clean it up so we let him play with this fake pumpkin. He got so excited to be in with the crowd.

10 year

This last weekend we had our 10 year reunion. It was tough decision but i decided not to go to the formal part of it. I just didn't feel like paying $90 to see a bunch of people get drunk. So instead we had a little picnic at Foxridge Park for anyone who wanted to come. We brought the kids and just talked. It was freezing that day but i think we had a pretty good turnout considering it was in the 50's. A few other people showed up but didn't make it in the picture. Thanks everyone for coming! It was fun to see you and catch up. See you at the 20 year!

We went out that night and had dinner in honor of graduating 10 years ago.

Just one thing.....

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!
