Poppop's 60th Birthday!

We all celebrated Poppop's 60th birthday, aka Grandpa Bill. That's pecan pie he's displaying.
Luke tickled everyone, with some help from Grandma Judy.

Kyle, Luke, and the grandparents played with the train. Tragically the train derailed, but we all had a fun night anyways!
Happy Birthday Poppop!

Wow! It rained a lot in July!!!

Since it has rained SO much in July, we have been spending a lot of time reading indoors. So much so, that all my pictures lately are of the kiddos reading and being silly. Luke likes to read with an audience.
Luckily, Kyle and our friend Veronica both love to listen to him.

Kyle snapped this next picture of Luke himself. It's quite an improvement from his earlier work. Note how all of Luke's face is actually in the picture!

Of course they can also be pretty silly.
Luke wants to try to take a picture too.
After Dad took too many pictures, they had to come and find Mom.

Olivia's Pool Party- July 14th

Luke and Kyle went to Olivia's 1st birthday party on Saturday. All the babies had fun splashing in the pools.
Luke also found lots of neat things to carry around the yard of course.

Here he is trying to steal a ball from the birthday girl. So sweet!
He found one of his own!

Kyle had a lot of fun too. The slip'n'slide was pretty worn out by the time we left, and everyone had a blast.
Happy Birthday Olivia!

Shoes

My fascinating son Luke has a new favorite game. He takes all the shoes he can find and lines them up on the bottom step of the stairs. He is very determined about this, and will not be interrupted.

Now if I can just get him to meticulously put them all in the closet....

Cranky Luke: July 11th

Poor little Luke had to endure 5 immunizations today. He's pretty worn out now, but he does not like that nurse!

Kyle and Kyra- July 6th

Aunt Joy brought Kyle's cousin Kyra came to visit at Canyon Lake on Friday.

They had a great time building legos and playing on the swing on the yard.
Kyra managed to get the upper hand with the water gun.

Visit to Canyon Lake Dam- July 6th

We went to Canyon Lake for the 4th of July and stayed for a while.
We went for a walk on the Canyon lake dam. It was really pretty and we could see the whole lake.


Can you say naptime?

Snacktime- June 28th

Luke really likes to sit on top of the coffee table.

He's got his cheerios and he's higher than Kyle. What could be more fun? He definitely looks like Jeff.

Haircut! June 23rd

I know how everyone loves those makeover shows, so here is our recent hair transformation.

In case you were wondering, this is what Luke is laughing at:

Playing at the Park- June 23rd

Luke is still perfecting his walking technique. Sometimes he feels a little frustrated!

He's definitely starting to get the hang of it though. Sometimes it's nice to just relax in the shade!

Happy Hour at Nana's- June 22nd

Grams and Grampa joined us for Happy Hour at Nana's house.
Nana even let me take her picture!

Galveston- June 21st

We went to Galveston on June 21st with Grams and Grampa.
We had fun walking around on the strand and playing on the beach.

Unfortunately there were some pretty scary pirates!

All in all though we had a really good time and everyone made it home safe!
