What's new with us!!!

This post has just a few random things to catch up on our lives.
Luke and his cousin Gavin went to the Treehouse Museum last Friday. Luke and Gavin both have season passes, so we go quite often, I've just never taken any pictures, and they were running around so I could never get both boys in a shot.





Next, Luke was playing on uncle Joel's four wheeler and took a tumble head first off of it. This is Luke with his first official black eye.


And last, Luke just got his first big boy bed. It was so cute to see him so excited.


Here is Luke helping daddy put the bed together.


Here is Luke on his new Lighting McQueen car bed. I thought I was in for it because he freaked out when I took his crib out of his room, but then we put his mattress in his new bed and he has had no problem sleeping.

Luke is winning at hide-and-seek

The other day Alex and I were standing in the kitchen talking, and we started hearing noises coming from one of the cupboards. I ended up finding 2 year old Luke hiding in the cupboard. He was all scrunched up in there so the door would close.


Here he is stretched out again after I opened the door.


This is him pulling the door closed behind him.


I better re-check the house to make sure he can't get in somewhere where he'll get hurt, like the dryer:)

Mom Jeans

I tried this before, but it didn't work. I think I have all the bugs out now. I stumbled upon the SNL clip and about busted my gut. This is how I felt wearing those stupid maternity pants with the big fabric panel. *Remember to turn off the music*.

He's off the see the Warden, the wonderful Warden of Oz.

Has everyone heard about the shooting in Pleasant Grove yesterday. Turns out that Alex knows the shooter and they go to school together. Well, went to school together. Alex is kind of in shock a bit. He's like, "man, Colton and I have been in the same classes for five years together, and I remember he was at the same orientation meeting with me." He says that everyone at school yesterday was crowded around the computer trying to see if it was really him on the news. It's kind of wierd for Alex to know a guy that just committed murder. Alex says everyone knew he was into some pretty messed up stuff. The guy just ruined his whole life in about .2 seconds. The guy was probably on a down-ward spiral for a while, but I just keep thinking that he only had two more months out of five years left of school. Just 2 months from graduation. If he was into some bad stuff, then graduation probably wouldn't really have made a difference for him, but he had a great job as a plumber and really could have made something of himself. Well, I'm just now reminding myself that I'm not his judge and that's not my job. And I'll feel really bad if he had some good reason, like it was self defense or something. If that happens, then I'll be repenting on a up coming post. But it's just scary how it only takes 1 second and a bad decision for this guy to totally ruin his whole life. Check out the story HERE.
