Luke's Birthday!

Today was Luke's 5th Birthday! I can't believe that my baby is now 5!!!! He went to school dressed up in his new cowboy hat and gun. Yes, I know that his pants are on backwards but that is just how he likes them. His teacher, Miss Cami, is so good about letting Luke come in whatever outfit he wants. We just laugh about what he will think of next to wear. After school Luke went to play at his best friend Trenton's house. They always have a blast together.

When his brothers got home from school it was time to open all of his presents. He was

so excited! He knows that there is money in those envelopes if he

can get them open fast enough. His big gift was an Indiana Jones whip that he has wanted for months now. For his birthday cake Luke picked out farm animal candles. They were really cute. He wanted to save them for next year too.

I love my little guy so much! Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he sent me that little surprise. I have been so blessed with his sweet spirit! Happy Birthday Luke!

Good Times

My parents got these old pictures from my grandparents. Yes, that is me and my older brother Tony. We were all dressed up for Easter. Time goes by so fast! Thanks for always being such a great friend and brother Tony!! Oh, and that handsome man with the pretty red hair is my wonderful father! Dosen't he look so happy to be driving us around! Love Ya DAD!!

Halloween Fun!!!

I will have to say that this year's Halloween was very different for me. When my boys were younger I had to drag them around to each car while trying to keep their outfits clean and cute! It was a nightmare!! Well this year my boys let me know that they were all grown up and ready to do things on their own. I really thought that special moment would never come. Now that it has I want to go back in time!

We went to the Stake Center for the annual Trunk-or-Treat. Poor Wade had to miss school because he has a really bad viral infection. His whole body is covered with a rash so he looks like a lizard man. He isn't able to go to school for about 10 days or until his skin starts to peel off. I'm not looking forward to that part but the doctor says that he will be fine. I decided that it was fine for Wade to trick-or-treat as long as he stayed right by me. When Clay got home from school Wade had all the the costumes laid out and ready to go. When we got there Clay took off with his friends to go around as a group. That only left me TWO boys. I soon realized after we started walking Wade and Luke remember to have manners and say thank you without me having to remind them. I also didn't have to keep saying "stay by me" the whole night either. It was an eye opening experiance. The boys had alot of fun and got so much candy!
