Our little boy is growing up!

I feel like Luke is changing every day! Isn't this picture with Daddy just precious!


Luke had his first date with Mel Lewis. We shared a yummy dinner at the Spaghetti Factory.

Here I am with Mel, my good friend from work.

Luke looks pretty good in his Winter hat, and jacket that Grandma made for him.

About 3 weeks ago Luke just decided that he could sit up. This makes life a lot easier for us because he can play for longer and not be frustrated laying down all the time. He can sit up for so long. However, sometimes he decides that he is tired of sitting up and will fall down hard, so we have the pillow behind him so he doesn't hit his head.

Doesn't this face just make your heart melt?

Here is Luke in all his chubby glory! He is 6 and 1/2 months old and a wopping 21 pounds! Notice how he lifts his head off the ground whenever he is laying down. He loves doing his crunches.

The other night Luke fell asleep in his little umbrella stroller. I just had to take a picture! Rafa was watching the Superbowl with his friends and pushing Luke around and didn't even know that Luke was sleeping. Luke was happy that the Saints won, even though he wasn't awake to see the end of the game.

This picture is from December when he first decided that he liked sleeping on his tummy. His little butt was up in the air-it was so cute.

Our little nerdy boy, look out when he gets older!

Rafa captured these precious pictures a couple of weeks ago. We don't know yet if they are a glimpse into the future, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.


Side Note: He is sitting in his new jogging stroller, which he loves. However, he can only be in it inside because it is still too cold here in Utah to run outside with a baby. I can't wait until Spring!

Family Pictures

My family got together and went to Gardner's Village the week after Christmas to take family pictures. The formal ones are done, but I have not posted them yet. These are just some informal ones that Rafa took during that day. I'll post the other ones when I get them.

In this picture we have all the Grand kids. Mari did a good job holding Luke but he still got confused and didn't know what was going on, thus the serious face in all of the pictures. I love how Tyson is so happy in all the pictures.

Here is another view of the same setting, but Luke is starting to slip. They were all sitting on a sled, it was so cute!

We just had to get this adorable picture of Luke on the cart.

This picture is for my Mom. She bought this pullover jacket and sewed on the dinosaurs. Luke looks so cute in it!

Luke's First Christmas

Christmas was a busy time for us because my parents were in town and we wanted to spend as much time with them as we could. Luke was 5 months old on December 22. I think he enjoyed all the time we got to spend with family.


We got Luke a pair of Christmas p.j.'s with a cute hat. Here he is with Daddy in our Living room Christmas day. Both Dad and Luke got a Boston Red Sox hat for Christmas.

Luke also got a doggy toy for Christmas. It has a lot of tags and fun things for him to grab on to.

One of my Sixth Grade students made this stocking for Luke. I told her it was so big that Luke would fit in it, so I had to take a picture to show her.

By the end of the day Luke was very tired and he sure let us know how he felt.


Earlier in the day he was sleeping peacefully. You've gotta love those cheeks.

Here I am with my Mom and niece Mari.

Luke loves his Grandpa Kingsley. He is always happy in his arms.
