My sweet Lukie,

Mama loves you so much! I love coming in to get you in the morning, and seeing your sweet grin, with those adorable cheeks! You are so curious, and love everything! You adore your brother, and love to be held by him and your mom and dad! You are such a good baby, you only cry when you are hungry, or hurt. Usually just when you're hungry. You LOVE food so much! You will eat anything and everything. One of your most favorite things to do is sing songs with us. You love to sing "patty cake" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", you clap your hands and dance along as we sing. Lukie I love you so very much, I am so blessed that our Heavenly Father sent you to us to raise, you are amazing, and I am amazed to be your mother!

Love you,

Mama

Disneyland and the Beach

We had a blast at Disneyland and the beach! What a fun family vacation. The kids were so excited to meet Mickey Mouse! Casey and I were just excited to get away! One funny story we left our house, and about 15 minutes later Kyle said, "How much longer, are we there yet?" Oh my word this was going to be a long drive, we thought. All in all the kids did a great job on the drive! We arrived in Las Vegas with hungry tummies, and only one diaper accident, wahoo!

The next day we drove to Hunington Beach, where we had so much fun playing at the beach and eating at a wonderful place on the pier, "Ruby's". Kyle LOVED collecting sea shells.

We arrived in Disneyland, and boy oh boy was it excitment overhall by EVERYONE, including Casey! We couldn't get enough of all of the fun rides, characters, and great food, and most of all being together as a family! This is a vacation I will remember forever!

Father and Sons 2011

Kyle had sooo much fun camping with daddy! He LOVES dirt, fire, rivers, and more dirt!!! They had an eventful time shooting up rockets, having a yummy dinner, and sleeping in a comfy tent!

Summer Fun with the Fam

Oh how I LOVE my family!!!

Kyle

Kyle is getting to be so big! He said the prayer in primary a few weeks ago, all by himself. Casey and I just sat back and watched him in amazement, we are so grateful for 2 incredible boys! This is what he said in his prayer, "Dear Heavenly Father we are grateful for this day. We are grateful to be here at church. Grateful for mama. Grateful for the kids. Grateful for mama. Grateful for the microphone. Grateful for mama. Grateful for Lukie. Grateful for mama. Grateful for all our blessings. Grateful for mama. Grateful for our teachers. Grateful for mama. (I finally had to go up and help him end it, or I think it might have gone on for the rest of church!) In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. Love my Kyle!!
