Mother's Day

 Mother's day this year was awesome!  Freddie took us to eat at the Olive Garden, then let Avery and I get a mani/pedi (see pictures below) and then when we got home, we played in the rain.  Avery splashed around and Luke rode his bike. 

Luke was riding his bike REALLY close to Avery, she loved it!!

LaChelle's graduation from ASU

Papa and Nana are trying to show Luke and Avery where LaChelle is sitting in the sea of black cap and gowns.

 

Yay LaChelle!!!

Kindergarten graduation

Some pictures from Kindergarten graduation. Avery is waiting so patiently for the ceremony to start.

Happy 7th Birthday Luke!!

Honestly, I can't believe that Luke is 7 years old. He has such a fun and outgoing personality. He LOVES all sports, riding his bike and watching Phineas and Ferb, on the Disney Channel. He loves all kinds of racing and hanging out with friends. He likes to read books and watch movies, especially any kind of super hero cartoons. He loves to play baseball and soccer. After winning 1st place in his soccer tourney, he said, "Mom, this is the best day of my life!"

These pictures are of Luke at school on the day of his birthday.

Avery looks like she thinks Luke and Preston are crazy!

Last day of kindergarten

Luke had an awesome year of Kindergarten at Clyde Elementary.  He had a great teacher, Mrs. Berry and he is learning how to read really well.  He made lots of friends and memories.  We are so proud of him and his accomplishments.  Every Wednesday in PE, the kids simply run around the track.  The teachers count how many laps and miles that each child runs.  Luke ran almost 25 miles this year, in just one day a week. 

Luke, Keller, and  Preston - best buddies

Baseball 2010

Luke LOVES sports.  He is a little boy that is constantly in motion, constantly.  Here are the most recent baseball pictures.  He plays coach-pitch baseball at Dixie Little League in Abilene.  He is on the Tennessee Volunteers. 

Here is a comparison of the last three years of baseball (2008, 2009 and 2010).  I wish I had the picture fom 2007 where I could find it.  It is packed up in a box in storage.  I had all three of these pictures in a frame on my desk at work. 

Bluebonnets - I LOVE spring!

I love spring!  I don't like cold weather and I love when it warms up.  Everything blooms and the grass is green.  I have been wanting to stop and take some pictures in the bluebonnets.  We have been so busy with sports, church and moving that it has been hard to find the time.  But this morning after church, we stopped by a beautiful patch.  Here are some of my favorite shots.  Luke lost a tooth last Saturday.  In the last picture, he is showing the gap.  This is his 3rd tooth.
