Love it!

Just wanted to post this nice picture for...I guess myself. I can't wait to see the movie again and again....so CUTE!!!!

SANTA!!!

Luke and Ava got to see Santa on Saturday. It was so fun to see their little excited faces as they got to talk to him and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Luke told Santa he wanted a helicopter and some train tracks. Little Ava just stared at him and kept saying "yeah" to anything he would ask her. As we were leaving he said "Santa loves you." He was so sweet with them. Ava kept blowing him kisses and waving. I love getting to see Christmas through the eyes of little kids, it really brings back the magical feeling of Christmas for me. It was funny because on Thanksgiving Jeremy asked Luke what he was thankful for and Luke answered, "I'm thankful for the Holidays." I'm not really sure if he even knows what holidays means but it was cute. I'm thankful for the holidays too! There are so many things to be thankful for!

Have a Good Laugh on Me!

Just A Few More Family Pictures

First Snow!

We woke up a few days ago to this....

Burrrrr SNOW! Luke and Ava were so excited. And I have to admit it made me a little excited for the up coming eating turkey, Christmas trees, and being together with family for the holidays. But snow? I'm just not ready to give up the nice warm fall weather yet. Pretty cute little snowman though right! Duce kept eating his mouth off, we used walnuts from our tree in the backyard and he likes to eat 'em.

Birthday Bones

Our Mr. Bones is such a big boy! He is now 4 and ready for school, ready to go to work, ready to drive a motorcycle and fly a helicopter, oh and ready to take off his training wheels.

What would we do with out our Luke? He always keeps us so entertained with his very serious stories and questions. If you haven't had the opportunity to see this kids eye lashes then you are missing out, we call them his "giraffe" lashes. When he really gets into explaining something to you his head tilts to the side and those lashes start blinkin' away, it is the cutest thing.

There are so many cute stories about him, but I'll try to keep this short. So here are just a couple to hopefully give you a good laugh. My favorite was when we were at the park and I was watching as a little girl walked over to Luke. I could hear her tell him her name and then she asked him what his was. I could barely make out his low serious voice answer "Mr. Bones." The little girl stared at him for a few seconds and with out saying another word ran off to go play some where else. Poor little thing, I think we've ruined him.

One thing for sure about Luke, he loooves his Dad. He wants to be just like Jeremy. A couple weeks ago Luke came into the kitchen with his backpack on. And of course in his most serious low voice he informs me that:"Well mom, I'm goin' to work. Yep, my boss just called and I've gotta go move some trailers and go pick up some cookies and juice and cricuts from Draper. So, well bye mom, I love you." And I get a kiss. Jeremy drives truck and those are usually the kinds of things he delivers.

He always amazes me by the things he knows and the questions he asks and he is such a sweetheart. I miss that all the dandelions are dead now because every time he saw one he dropped what ever he was doing to pick it for me and I always got a kiss along with it.

We love you so much Luke, Happy Birthday! Here's a quick 4 year trip down memory lane:

The Dead End of Halloween Fun

So it's over. A few of our Halloween decorations still linger around the house for Luke. He is having a hard time boxing them up, "No mom! Don't take that down I like it!" and then he starts crying. I think after Thanksgiving he'll let me swap some stuff for the Christmas tree and lights.

Halloween was so fun this year, here are few long over due pictures, enjoy!

Ava was Little Red Riding Hood (To bad Indy "the wolf" couldn't have come along with her all night.)
Jeremy was Dracula, Luke was of course Mr. Bones (only this year he had a totally awesome cape), and I was dressed for a Mascaraed Ball.
