Birthday Bunny

Luke celebrated his 1st birthday this past weekend on April 4th, which was also Easter Sunday...What a great blessing to be able to celebrate Luke's first year of life the same day we celebrate our gift of eternal life from Jesus!

Brent and I took Luke up to Marble Falls and Lake Buchanan to visit Brent's grandparents and have a small Easter Birthday celebration. We had been planning a birthday party for Luke at Brent's Granny and Papaw's house ever since Luke was born...we go there every Easter so this year would be no different.
Sadly though, Brent's Granny had a stroke a few weeks ago and is in a rehab facility until she gets well enough to go home. We didn't want her to feel left out of the celebration, so we took Luke's birthday party to her. We reserved a room at the rehab facility, brought snacks and cake, and lots of presents for little Luke.

Luke had so much fun playing in the lake at Granny and Papaw's, opening birthday presents, eating (and wearing) birthday cake, and getting goodies from the Easter bunny!



Luke enjoying his new red wagon...Brent hated Luke's birthday hat, he said he looked like a "Ruskie". I thought he looked adorable and told Brent I'm going to have one made for BOTH of them next year:)




















Opening more presents...we had to put the other presents in the wagon at first so that Luke would actually pay attention to them, he just couldn't get enough of his new wagon!

Cruising around the lake in his wagon...he was pretty pooped by this point

Bluebonnets

I took Luke to the park by our house to take some pictures in the bluebonnets. He kept trying to pick them and eat them so these are the best pics I could get.

"Her" name is Luke

After almost 6 months of no blog posts, we are finally back!

Sometime during the Christmas holidays Luke "slimed" our digital camera making it virtually impossible to take or retrieve any pictures.
Brent and I ordered a new camera and got it just in time to take pictures of Luke's 1st haircut.

Brent was so frustrated with Luke being mistaken for a girl, that he had had enough and insisted we take him to get his haircut asap.
I thought Luke looked really cute with his long hair, but it WAS getting a little ridiculous having to tell people "her" name is Luke when they would say "Oh, she's beautiful, what's her name?"

Luke didn't do so well when we first put him in the chair, but once Brent sat with him and held him, he was fine.

Updated Pics from Thanksgiving and Christmas

I was able to salvage all of my pictures from our other camera that Luke slobbered all over right after Christmas!
Here are some pictures from the Holidays...better late than never, right?

Christmas is so much fun with a little one...I'm not sure who enjoyed it more though, Luke or his grandparents.
