Birthday Party!

Today we had a bunch of friends over to celebrate Luke's first birthday. Boy did we have a fun time! A day full of toys, pumpkins and ice-cream cake. What more could a boy want?

Happy Birthday Luke!

James' Prayer

Dear God,

Need watch Car Movie. No bulls, no tracks.

Amen

I cannot tell a lie

James has been talking up a storm lately. Sometimes we have no idea what he is trying to tell us, other times we can actually have a full conversation with him. This is such a fun age!

Here are some funny things James has said this past week.

Me: James, you are such a good boy to eat all your lunch!
James: Puppy eat pizza! (said while clapping)
Me: How did puppy get the pizza?
James: James throw pizza. Puppy eat pizza. Good puppy doggie!

Oh, well. At least he is honest.

Me: James would like some ice-cream cake for dessert?
James: No!
Me: No thank you?
James: No thank you Ma. No need ice-cream cake. Need cars!

Birthday Boy

Luke got an ice-cream cake for his birthday. He LOVED it. Not his first cake, but it was his first ice-cream cake.

Double fisting!

Luke and Mommy

1st year stats

The pediatrician was "very happy" with his progress. Go Luke!

Luke's 1st Birthday

It is so hard to believe that one year ago we first met our sweet Luke William! Now we can't even imagine life without him. Happy Birthday Luke!

Rear View Mirror

This is my view in my rear view mirror. What cuties! And, they are both angels in the car now, as long as James gets to pick the music. Right now we like "Red Car Song" aka "Life is Highway" by Rascal Flats. You know, the song used in the Disney Car Movie. We like to hear it over and over and over. But it keeps them quiet so I will listen to it happily!

Finally turned Luke around. His legs are sooooo long that I felt terrible making him stay rear facing. Seriously I think he was kissing his knees he was so bent up. He loves his new view!

Brothers

What pretty eyes these boys have! One with brown and one with blue!

We have had an uneventful week, although the boys have decided to switch eating habits. James suddenly can't get enough and Luke is not too interested. These boys sure do keep me on my toes!

Cute Hat

Fall weather means it is time for cute hats and sweaters! Hooray! I found this hat recently at a consignment sale and love it on Luke. Isn't he a cutie pie?

Trouble with a Capital T

OH NO!

Look what James finally figured out he could do.

Not sure what we are going to do now.

Coincidentally his shirt today read: Trouble is my middle name.
James Trouble Turner. Yup, sounds about right!

Costumes

We tried on costumes today. Luke had fun (except for the Lion outfit) and James didn't want to try anything on. Although he did tell me which costume Luke should try on next. Funny boy!

So let's have a vote....what should the boys be for Halloween? Pretty sure I can get Luke to wear something. Not so sure about James.
