On his own two feet...

Since I'm on a roll with this blogging thing now...I felt like writing about Luke walking!  It's funny how once you have kids its little things that really make your day.  You start to rememer months by milestones that they have accomplished and keep looking forward to the days where they will hit that next milestone!  Kids are definitely amazing...take Luke for example.  I had been saying for soooo long now that he was going to get up and walk since he was 10 months old.  Here we are 3 months later, past his 1st birthday and he STILL wasn't walking.  But then on Thanksgiving day of all days he got up and took a couple steps and then took some more!  2 days later he was walking around the store with his cousin Nick.  It just amazes me how fast they can pick things up and how fast they learn.  Who knows what will be next on the road of milestones for us...





A year gone by....

I can't believe its already been a year (well technically 13 months) since we have been blessed with a bouncing baby boy in our lives.  We planned a big 1st birthday for him which was supposed to take place at a real Hanger in Vacaviile, but plans fell through and unfortunately we couldn't have it there...so instead the 100 people we invited had to be "diverted" to our house!  Good thing we bought a bigger house! LOL  His birthday theme was airplanes of course. 

Since there was going to be soooo many people we decided to get a tent for the backyard so people can mingle out there too...unfortunately that was the weekend the weather decided to act up and it was raining the WHOLE day =( Also that night Luke woke up with a 103.5 degree temperature!!! This was his first time really getting sick and gave him meds and his temp when down, but he still didn't feel very good at his birthday party...Here is the setup of things before everyone arrived.

blowing out his cake! He got a little overwhelmed when everyone was singing to him so we had to turn him around so he wasn't facing the big crowd
 


To everyone that came, and even to those who couldn't make it, thank you for helping us celebrate Luke's first birthday!!! We hope you all had a great time! Until next year....
