"Have a Six Flags Day!"

As I've mentioned previously, we spent the first full week of summer spending time with family that came to town to visit. I'll do a separate post of a hodgepodge of pictures, but I had to do a Six Flags post first. I hate to admit it, but I don't have a ton of pictures. What I do have is an awesome story. Not only is it funny, but it totally lends itself to a teaching moment on word choice. Glorious... at least to this nerdy English teacher! : )

Tub Time

Before I make a longer post about our family reunion this past weekend, I wanted to post a few pictures of Luke's favorite household past-time: climbing. Oh my goodness. We climb up on the couches. We climb into our high chair. We climb in and out of various bathtubs. With all the chasing around I'll be doing, I could get into pretty good shape!


So first, Luke scouts the tub of choice.

But I don't WANNA get up!

Last week, Luke had a lot of big - well, LATE - nights. On Thursday night, Jeremy and I went to the GCISD Education Foundation Shining Stars Banquet, where we got to see my Aunt Mary receive a big award, and I was fortunate enough to be recognized by a Top 20 graduate as well. This meant Luke got to spend some time with Aunt Jackie and Uncle Johnny. They all had a blast, I think. Luke played and played and played... and stayed awake until almost 10:00 p.m. Yikes!

101st Post!

I cannot believe I have made 100 posts on this blog! To commemorate the event, I looked back into past posts. A breakdown:

• Posts about Luke before he was born: 6
• Posts about Hannah: 3
• March Madness Posts: 4
• Birthday parties: 1
• Posts about our homes: 7
• Posts about Luke since his birth: 77

Mother's Day

I had great expectations for picture-taking on Mother's Day. I wanted to get one of Luke with three generations of mamas: me, Honey, and Granny. Well, we'll have to try that another day, because that didn't happen. But isn't this sweet?

 

Hooray - it's May!

May is here, and so far, we're having a blast! Yesterday, we had friends over for barbecue. My college roommates and great friends Heather and Brooke came over, along with Scott (Heather's husband), Sadie and Kylie (Heather and Scott's girls), and Lauren (Brooke and our friend from college who was in town from Houston). We had a fantastic time, even though - of course! - Luke opted to take about half as long of a normal nap. It's because of that sleepiness that he looks so blase about being inverted.

Kickin' It in the Cozy Coupe!

Because the bluebonnet pictures we had planned yesterday got rained out - darn it! - Jeremy, Luke, and I decided we would celebrate the arrival of the weekend and our tax refund and head to Toys 'R Us. Copious amounts of toys and clothes later, we headed home and started what no one expected to be an epic task: the assembly of the Cozy Coupe.
