A Fun Day With Aunt Theresa

Friday Aunt Theresa invited Luke to come over and go fishing in her neighborhood pond. So it was the perfect opportunity for Luke to try out his new Superman fishing pole!!

The fishing trip was hard core...they even dug their own worms for bait!

This is the tackle box that came with the fishing pole. Luke told me he would keep his fish in there when he caught them...

Luke & Baxter having fun in the backyard. Baxter went on the fishing trip too, but I think he scared all the fish away. I was told that each time they would cast- Baxter would jump in the water after their line. I think they had a blas watching him though!

Thank you Aunt Theresa for spending a fun day with Luke. He is still talking about it!

School's Out! Summertime Has Come...

Luke, Mrs. Kim, & Madi

Yes, I cried... I always do. I hate good bye. This has been a great year for Luke. Mrs. Kim has been a very good teacher. She is strict with the kids, but it teaches them so much and they all love her. She has her class rules, the kids know them, and they follow them. I love that and I think that is an amazing quality that only some teachers have.

Today was splash day! Luke has been so excited about this day all week long. Last night he kept asking me to "talk about school tomorrow". Mrs. Kim put together a summer bucket for all of the kids with sidewalk chalk, sun glasses, beach ball, playdough, etc... Very cute idea.

Thanks to Mrs. Kim for all she has done this year for Luke.

Our Last Time...

to see Amy before she has the baby!

Am' is due any second to have Baby Noah, so we scheduled one last swim outing before his big arrival. It was a lot of fun, but the water was pretty cold. With all of the nice weather we have had lately, the water hasnt really had a chance to warm up that much. We did swim, but I took Brady out after I noticed his goose bumps. He had more fun just sitting out and watching anyway.

I can't wait to meet my new nephew Noah- he will be here for sure by Saturday. I will post pics once I get some!!!

ASK Banquet

Sunday was our ASK Banquet at church. Our church has been in a campaign fundraiser for a new building, so we celebrated with a banquet. It was a lot of fun with great entertainment!


Caleb and I finally got a picture together. It seems like every picture taken around here has kids in it lately... ha ha ha!



This is my super cool friend Kristen. You may know her, but if you don't she is Madi and Abi's mom, we do a lot together.

Crawfish Boil

Last Saturday we had our annual crawfish boil with our lifegroup from church. It was so much fun and the crawfish were HUGE!


Luke wasn't to crazy about the crawfish which kept escaping and crawling around our backyard... time to get those things cookin'!



Here are some of the guys waiting patiently!

Luke with Jack & Kate in the bouncy.

Katie & Kyle (coming any day!!!), me, and Kristen.

First Ear Infection

Our little Brady had to experience his very first (and hopefully last) ear infection. It was so aweful! For the past four nights he had been waking up crying, but it wasnt until Thursday morning that his temperature went sky high. I took him to the doctor and his temperature had reached 102.8 after a dose of tylenol. I was really worried about him because all he did was lay on the groud and moan. SO SAD!

This is a picture of him asleep on the living room floor. Thursday morning he was just laying around and fell asleep right after he woke up. That's when I knew something was wrong.

The good news is that he got some antibiotics and is feeling much better now. Poor little guy!
