Alex and Luke going for a ride

More Fun

Can you believe we can go to the pool in December.  It was 75 today in Scottsdale we loved the weather here.  Bobby took Luke around in the pool.

Luke was really having a good time it was so bright he couldn't look up at me to get his picture taken.

More horsey rides from Bobby he sure loves his new toy...Uncle Bobby

Ben's favorite dinner for me to make is spaghetti dinner, well guess who else loves his mommy's cooking.  Look at that face he went straight to the tub after dinner.
Luke made such a mess but was so happy and I could not get the food to him quick enough he was shoving the food in his mouth making yummy noises.  He just melts my heart.  

Gymboree

Monday was our last day in level 3 we move up next week to level 4.  Candace and bobby went with to help me with Luke.  It is hard chasing after him there being pregnant so we will see how much longer we can go before baby 2 arrives. 

Uncle Bobby helping Luke down the slide with Alex beside him

Luke and Alex have no fear they climb on anything they can 

Playing with the busy box of toys he is so good he helps put them all away too

Luke Having Fun with his Aunt and Uncle

Bobby was giving Luke a ride around the house Luke did not want to get off.

We all went out to eat and Luke kept talking on his phone it was hilarious.

Much Better I can hear you now.  I am not sure who he was talking too but he did not want to hang up.

Merry Christmas

On Christmas Eve when we got home we all put out all the gifts uder the tree it looked so nice

I found Ben in the garage wrapping my goodies in his car.  

Christmas Morning Luke woke up so happy to find his play room filled with tons of colorful packages mostly for him.

Bobby and Candace got Luke the cutest outfits here is my fave the Air Jordan sweatsuit.

Mommy stealing a hug from her busy boy playing with all his new toys

Auntie Candace and Uncle Bobby were like little elves putting all of Luke's toys together he was so excited I think he loves his basketball hoop the best we all yell dunk it and he runs up and does just that.  Luke then claps for himself after he dunks the ball.  

Our family

Uncle Bobby with Luke and Ruby playing

Bobby sure got a workout playing with Lukey.  Luke would not let Bobby rest and Bobby was so great he just kept playing with Luke and Luke sure did love it.  

Luke and Mommy in Lukey's new hat Auntie Candace and Uncle Bobby got him.  If only he would keep it on his head that would be great.

Lukey rough housing with Auntie Bean.  I am so sad they are leaving in 2 days they have helped me so much and Luke just loves having them around.  Maybe I can convince them to move here.  Candace says if we move here I can just borrow Carly's kids and won't have to have my own.  I say good deal.  

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve Bobby and Candace flew in from Chicago I was so afraid their flight was going to get delayed they were only 2 hours late which is good.  That night we went over to the Tyree house and had dinner and the boys played.  Alex's Aunt Abby was flying Alex around in a crate the boys loved it I will attach video of it later it was hilarious.

Luke is handing Alex his gift it was so cute

Dinner was great Wes made his famous steaks and there was a lot of other good food that I appreciated being 6 months pregnant.

Auntie Candace and Lukey...he is always eating

Luke playing with all the toys he loves going to Alex's house to play.  We had such a nice time with such a wonderful family.  Thank you again for having us all over!!

The boys had fun in the crate Luke is pushing Alex around.  

I brought over a laundry basket to carry all the stuff in so we decided to put them both in and go for a ride around the house.

Marcy, Alex, Carly, and Luke taking a picture by the tree the boys had matching PJ's and we didn't even know it.  They looked so cute and play so good together.  Marcy and I were cracking up Luke was playing the guitar they got him and Alex was sitting looking through a book.  

Luke hanging out before dinner watching the dads and uncles play PS3.  

26 Weeks

I am huge already I can't believe I still have more than 3 months to go.  Ben and I are so excited for the little gal or guy to arrive.  They will be here in no time.  Luke is 16 months and still such a baby to me I am trying to prepare him for the new arrival.

Luke playing and a picture with Dr. Doan

Luke was a wild man the other night and was rough housing with daddy it was so fun to watch them play together.  Ben and I were in tears laughing at the sounds and moves Luke has.   It was a lot of fun.

Over the weekend my friend and doctor came over with her husband.  Luke was climbing all over Thuy and he is half her size she was so good with him.  Her husband Mike was in love with Ruby.  Dr. Doan will be delivering baby #2 for us.  We just love her!!

Luke and his Best Friend Santa

We went to our neighborhood party at the clubhouse tonight and Santa was there.  Luke was having a great time in line until he realized what he was waiting in line for. Santa scared the crap out of him!  The Santa was great and looked great too.  Poor Lukey maybe next year he will be ready.

Merry Christmas!!

Where's the Baby?

Phoenix Zoo Zoolights

We took Luke to the zoo last night to see the Zoolights.  We met Marcy, Wes, and Alex there.  We are all zoo members so we got to beat the long lines and go in early. Which was a great idea because when we were leaving the line to get in was all the way to the parking lot.

Luke looks thrilled

Ben and Wes took the boys on the merry go round.  Luke was not sure what to think about it at first but he loved it once it got going.  We could hear him squeal as it went around.  
After that we let the boys roam on their own which is not the best idea when you eventually want to put them back in the stroller.  Luke was not too happy!

As you can see here his cry almost passes for a smile.  At least Ben and I look happy.

We are a bunch of suckers to get him happy again Ben took Buddha on another ride he was happy in no time.  

Marcy, Wes, and Alex took a nice family picture at the zoo.  

Luke had enough of the Zoolights and was ready for bed. 

Mommies and their boys leaving the zoo.  It was a lot of fun to see all the lights and get us in the Christmas spirit.  Seeing we live in Arizona and it is in the 70's with no snow the Zoolights helped.
A few nights ago the sky was so beautiful it looked like the sky was on fire.  I took this photo in our backyard.  The picture does not do it justice but you can kind of see what I am talking about.  It was so amazing to see a sky like this.

NYC

In Times Square 2008

In Times Square the night we got engaged 

In 2004 the weekend before Thanksgiving Ben took me to NY for the weekend.  We were only dating for 7 months at the time and we got engaged at the top of the Empire State Building.

 I was in shock and so thrilled and excited to marry my best friend and love of my life Ben!

Radio City Music Hall 2008 NYC trip

Radio City Music Hall 2004 we took a picture in the same place.  We saw the Rockettes the same day that we got engaged.  The funny thing is I got engaged in NY and my sister and Bobby got engaged 4 years later while we were in NY.  So I guess if you want to get engaged I should go to NY it seems to work.  Ha Ha

4 years later we have Luke and another baby on the way. 

We love living in Arizona and are very happy!
