We Took a Walk to The Library

Its been getting hot out, and I've been trying to think of more and more "outside activities" we can do. I realized one day just how close we were to the library and decided to take the kids for a walk there. It was such a nice little walk. Lots of big shade trees along the sidewalk. We had a great time. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but when we got to the crosswalk, there were little orange flags you hold as you walk across. Luke grabbed one and proudly began to walk across waving it vigorously at the stopped cars. I was trying not to laugh, it was so cute.

Sunday After Christmas

Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas with the Sheffields (Ken's parents) in Kaysville, Utah. It was great to be with family and to celebrate the special Holiday. Luke got spoiled by his grandparents :) and Penny was just happy to be there. We are so grateful for our wonderful friends and family who helped make our Christams so special! And I am so thankful to Ken for giving me one of the greatest gifts I've ever received. It means so much to me, especially since you got it before I started begging :) I love you!

Curious George

On Luke's last day of preschool (for the sememster, he will start back up mid-jan.) he got a turn to take home curious George! In his class, each child gets a turn to take home a bag with curious george inside along with a journal to tell what you did with George and draw a picutre! When he got off the bus he was so excited carrying the bag and trying to tell me, "George! George!" So, in these picutres you can see all the fun times we had with curious George. At the end of the day Luke even prayed for George :)

To Infinity and Beyond!

This is Luke at our ward's Trunk or Treat. He was making tons of different silly faces and this is the one I caught on camera! He loved the candy and went around saying, "treat" "treat" instead of trick or treat.

Peanut Butter and Jam.

Luke was so determined yesterday to make a peanut butter and jam sandwich all by himself... so I let him. I did of course supervise. and he did a great job! don't you just love how much peanut butter he has on the one piece of bread and then with just a few scrapes of jam on the other! He was pretty proud of himself and his mommy was pretty proud too :)

My Little Luke

I know he's NOT little... but I need to be able to call him my little luke! The other day he wanted me to get the camera out saying, "picture, picture!" When I had it in hand, he started posing and smiling and just being too cute. So I started snapping away. Afterward, we looked at them together :)





He is such a sweet boy. In the morning, he comes and wakes me up (I'm usually on the couch because its a little more comfortable than the bed) and he gives me a big kiss! the other morning he pulled the blanket off me, saw my huge belly and said excitedly, "baby!" pointing at it. Then he gave my belly (the baby) a kiss :) I think he will like being a big brother!

33 weeks

I know I know I look like I'm ready to pop. Almost. I've got 7 weeks left. You know how you're supposed to look like you've got a basketball in your belly when you're pregnant. I look like I've got a rugby ball sticking straight out... Maybe she's in there with her fingers interlaced behind her head in my stomach area, and her ankles crossed legs straight out into my belly button area! I'm joking. I've started to get out some of Luke's little white receiving blankets (the long john kind) and washed them yesterday so they're nice and fresh :)
