29

New Tech gear for football season!

My sister was sad she was in Dallas & not here for my bday so she ordered us pizza! I love that idea...it was yummy & i didn't have to cook lunch!

Started off my 29th birthday with a good workout & then some cake! lol

He is a cake hog...he kept tricking me like he was going to share! Justin did good on the cake-- coconut irish cream cake...it was delicious! I am a sucker for anything with coconut!

My mom&dad surprised me&Justin with paying for our whole trip to San Francisco in October! (justins birthday is 2 weeks after mine so we usually get a joint trip for our gifts! We love to travel, so we always get excited!) My mom wanted me to have something on my actual birthday too, so she sent a yummy edible arrangement. It was full of chocolate&white chocolate everything!

In the evening we took Luke to the Nickelodeon Live show! He loveddd it and I do mean loved it! He was all excited about seeing his favorite characters at "the show". He sat the quietest&stillest I have ever seen him do in his little life.

And, he has lots of smiles!

Family Picture!

My new cowboys boots! I have never owned a pair. My mother in law bought these for me. I am going to get a lot of use out of them because Justin also bought us 4 dance sessions for 2-stepping and spinning! We have already been to 1 and we laughed so much. It was fun and a great date! =)

Eating another piece of cake..lol!

My birthday was wonderful. I feel so blessed to be where I am in life. I am so confident and focused on my life and plan with God. My boys and family are way more than I deserve, but I think I will keep them ;) Happy 29th Birthday to me!

Wisdom Wednesdays

I got this idea from my friend, Jennifer's blog. It was a fun idea, so I wanted to do it as well! Wednesdays blogs will be dedicated to "words of wisdom" for Lucas Lee.

Lucas Lee-- " We know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love. God is love. Those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." (1 John 4:16)
Luke, always trust in God and the love He has for you. Love God through the storms and the sunshine. In the picture above, you were 15 hours old. Always remember:: God, Daddy & I loved you first. You life was planned through our love we had for you and family. We have been praying for you since the moment you were conceived and the very minute you were born baby.

My 2nd words of wisdom-- You were born a Red Raider! No matter what you do in life, we will always be proud of you! But, when it comes time to choose your college-- I want you to look back at this picture and remember how cute you were as a 1 week- 5 pound Red Raider!!! So, if you want to follow in Mommy&Daddies footsteps and graduate from Texas Tech-- we will always support that ;)

Lastest Happenings...

Enjoying some birthday cake at Miss Karrigans 1st Birthday party!

Play date w/Ava! & eating cupcakes!

Being a silly little boy in our house =)

Swimming&playing with Gracie!

Luke is having a busy and fun summer! It seems like every weekend, we are at birthday parties, traveling, or swimming. Luke is having a blast this summer, and we are just enjoying family, sunshine and friends!

Noise?

There are always those cute sayings your child does, that every parent thinks is just so cute. Luke has started a new phrase, "what's that makin' noise?" It is the cutest thing. He sounds so country when he says it lol. Anytime he hears a noise he hasn't heard before, or hears at a random time, his eyes light up and he says, "what's that makin' noise".

I love how much Luke loves to learn. He loves playing memory now, and he is good. He is growing so much, so fast. He can count to 30 now. He still loves puzzles. He will play soccer outside for hours. Even when momma&dadda are tired&drenched in sweat, he still keeps going. He absolutely lovesss baseball. He likes to stand in the living room floor and catch our tosses over and over again.

I am so proud of everything Luke does. I am so blessed to be his mom!

A day I will always cherish...

I am so thankful for every lesson he teaches me in life! We had so much fun splashin' & playin' in the water on a rainy day! Thank you for this sweet day, Father Jesus.

Mommies&Daddies have milestones too...

Justin&I have officially passed a huge milestone--we left Luke with a babysitter!

Don't get me wrong, we have been blessed to have date nights since being parents, but Luke has always only been with family. We have had a lot of opportunities to have sitters, but every time it came down to it, I would start sweating and get really nervous&anxious. I could never go through with it. This past Friday, Justin surprised me with tickets to Josh Abbott. It was raining and any chance of Luke spending the night with Nana were flooded out. So, we reached our milestone and Luke went to a baby sitters. We were so nervous. Justin&I talked ourselves into&out of the whole drive there. Our friend, Adrianna watched Luke. She was my assistant teacher when I taught Pre-K. She has a degree in Early childhood. Her daugher, Mia, and Luke are playdate buddies as well. So, we made our decision and we went to the concert! Luke was safe- all in 1 piece- and sound asleep when we picked him up after the concert. Adrianna said he did great and was very well behaved! He played with Mia, ate some popcorn, drank some milk & passed out on her bean bag chair lol! Adrianna was so sweet to send us pictures all night of Luke too so we were up to date on him.

Josh Abbott! He is such a nice guy & we love his music!

This was us after the concert lol. Yes, we are pretty much stripped down naked. Story behind this...Lubbock has been raining non-stop for 4 days. On Friday night, apparently it poured out crazy during the concert. When we walked out- the water was knee deep. We rain in the rain through the parking lot to my BRAND NEW CAR. There was NO WAY we were about to sit in drenched clothes on my new seats lol. So...clothes got thrown in the trunk-wrapped up- and we drove home in our panties&boxers lol. We got home, changed & drove 2 blocks down the street to pick Luke up from the sitters! It was a fun date night...a night to remember ;)

We were getting a little silly. There was cars stuck in the water&mud and we just sat in the parking lot for 45 minutes for the cops&big trucks to pull out all the cars that were flooding out. We acted like silly lil college kids...like the ol' days! It was a blast =)

On my heart

Isaiah 54:10--" The mountains may disappear, and the hills may come to an end, but my love will never disappear; my promise of peace will not come to an end."
