Luke's Mealtime Prayer

Tonight before dinner Luke said this prayer:

"Thank you God for our food, and our house, and Mommy, and Daddy, and Owen. We love you. Amen"

Me: "and thank you God for Brady too."

Luke: "Mommy, I didn't say that...I just said Amen."

Little stinker....I know deep down he really does love his brother ;)

Learning Something New!

Note the smile behind that pacifier. We love those! Sometimes he even smiles so big that he drops it completely out of his mouth.

Owen will be 7 months old next week. He knows how to sit up, and he is figuring out how to go from a laying position to a sitting position, but I caught him doing something else today...

Not quite a crawl, but he is learning the motions. I love watching babies grow and learn. It is the coolest thing to see how they just automatically know what their next stage in life is.

What a great reminder that we serve an awesome Creator!

Rodeo Day At School

Today was Rodeo Day at In His Steps Preschool!
The boys got all cowboyed up and went to school!

The boys were supposed to bring their favorite stuffed animal for the "Livestock Show". Brady thought it would be cool to bring his Woody doll since he is a real cowboy.

Luke brought his horse that EE gave him when he was two years old. Currently his name is "Bullseye".

The school had lots of fun activities planned for the day and the boys each came home talking about how much fun they had.

In Other News...

Brady made it the whole day at school in big boy underwear and didn't have any accidents! This makes two days in a row that he has been accident free! Yay B-ball!

Rodeo 2011

If you know anything about Houston, you know that one of the things we are known for is our amazing RODEO!!! So...it would be a sin for us not visit every year.


The boys got some new shiny boots, jeans, and snapped up their pearl snaps and we were off!

Our good friends Harper & Luke are not from these parts, so we were happy to take them along to their first EVER livestock show!

Sweet baby goat was only one week old.

Lazy, lazy, lazy!

Brady was a little nervous about most of the animals, but he liked this gentle deer.

Luke wasn't afraid of ANY of the animals. Did you know that Luke and Llama, both start with an "L"???? Luke did!

Since Cash is in town he went too! He liked this baby potbelly pig.

Handsome Cowboys!

Friends!

Me & the "big boys". Owen stayed home with Aunt Lindsey so mommy could have some big boy time.

B-ball.

A Visit From Our Cousin Cash!

Our sweet Cash is in town this weekend and through next week! My has he grown since we last saw him at Christmas. He has such a sweet personality. He can crawl, stand and pull up all by himself. Him and Owen are even starting to notice each other too. It is so cute to see their little interactions.

and Luke...he is CRAZY about Cash. The funny thing is that Cash seems to be just as crazy about Luke. He laughs at just about everything Luke does, which Luke thinks is just the coolest! We are having so much fun with our Cash and can't wait for EE & Nonah to be here in just a few days!!!

100th Day of School

Yesterday was Luke's 100th day of school. He was supposed to make a shirt and glue 100 of any items of his choice. We went with a button baseball theme.















The whole class with their creative shirts!













Here is a 100th day project Luke made at school.











Yay!!!

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Today at Luke & Brady's school the kids were supposed to dress up as their favorite character in the Dr. Suess books. The boys picked Thing One & Thing Two. (Owen tagged along to make Thing Three)









Luke was especially excited! He had been looking forward to this for DAYS!



















and Brady...well, he just gets excited about whatever his Bubba is excited about!




















Owen is just along for the ride :)
