Luke and Emma in their Michigan outfits. She is so sweet with her hand on Luke's leg & he is so excited.
Look mom I am keeping my hands to myself. Emma sure likes my football.
Pretty Emma
AH HA look I am busted I am going for it she's not looking all I want is a hug.
My mommy sure loves Target My friend Emma and I go around and around the store with our mommies they sure love that place. I love it too because I always score big when we go.
We took Luke to his first baseball game the Dbacks vs Tigers. Tigers lost by one but it was still a great family night out at the park.
Luke even got a nap in between the 7th and 8th innings.
Luke and Daddy watching the fireworks afterwards. Luke was not too sure what to think.
Luke turned 9 months today. I bought him a new toy to play with he loved it and so did Ruby. He is crawling all over & he loves for me to chase him. He is so much fun to be with everyday I am such a fortunate mommy.
Christina McMaster took our family picture. We had a lot of fun. I made shirts that say Happy 60th Stevie on it. It was nice to have a picture with my dad, Candace, Craig, & I. My favorite is the Sox picture, we are all Sox fans except for Ben who is wearing a Cubs shirt. We kicked Ben's ass after the picture was taken like a true Sox fan would. Christina did a great job especially with this large group. Christina also took Luke's birth announcement. Thank YOU!!
I love his shirt it says MOM on it. So of course he wore it on Mother's day. We had a great day Ben made breakfast, made the bed, and did the laundry. We went to church and then out to lunch. It was a hot day out so Luke and I took a nap in the afternoon when Ben went to the gym. We ended the night with a nice dinner and watching TV. It was a perfect Mother's Day. Ohhh wait did I mention Luke said his first word on Mother's Day and it wasn't Mama. You guessed it all day long Da Da to dadadadadadadadadadada. It was cute and it made Ben's day. 
Luke and Olivia flirting again. They are so cute together. She shared her snacks with Luke, it made his day.
This past Saturday was the walk for Chron's Disease. Luke and I went with a bunch of friends, Ben was in Reno for a CE course so he couldn't be there. I raised $935.00 for the walk. Thank you to everyone who donated. We had a great time too. Luke was so warn out here he is sleeping on his turtle pillow from Uncle Craig and Aunt Kristi.
Luke is growing up so fast. He has two bottom teeth now and loves to brush them (they are coming in straight too). He is crawling all over and keeping us busy. He loves to eat and take baths. He is also a big flirt with the ladies. He likes to go out to eat too and people watch some would say he has a starring problem. He speaks jibberish right now with the exceptional "Hi". He will be 9 months next Wednesday where did the time go.
My mom was so excited to visit and see Luke when she got here I was already sick for about a week. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days thank God my mom was here to help with Luke she had to learn quick how to do everything. She took such good care of him that once I got home he always wanted her. We took these pictures after I was feeling better of course. It was so nice to have her here especially since we have no family in Arizona & Ben couldn't miss work. Pretty much the whole month of April I was sick so now I am feeling great. Luke turned 8 months on the day I went to the ER. He is the best, when I was sick the hardest part beside feeling horrible was not being able to care for him. Grandma Susan you did a great job. We love you!
My baby boy already driving...oh no! He loved all the controls and the horn. It was hard to put him in his car seat after being in the front.
Uncle David was here on his Spring Break he was a lot of fun to have around. Ruby and Luke kept him busy. Here are the 3 little Sparties. Notice David is wearing Luke's bib. Luke and David love to eat. Luke wanted David to carry him and Luke would rest his head on his chest it was so sweet to see them together.
We have sure been busy almost 2 months went by without updating the blog. We have had many visitors Ben's brother Danny was the 1st in mid March. He would play the guitar for Luke and they would hang out together. While Danny was here Ben put braces on him. He is already the cutest Larrabee boy (besides Luke) now once his braces are off he will be unstoppable. Uncle Danny was a lot of fun to have around.
