An Everyday Conversation with a Toddler

Luke and I were practicing our letters today and we got to the M. The corresponding picture is a moon so after some discussion about the moon Luke says "we need to get a ladder, a tall, tall, tall, BIG ladder so we can go to the moon." I told him the moon was too far away, we would need a spaceship. He says, "We go get a spaceship at Hoes (that's what he calls Lowes)." I said I didn't think they had spaceships at Lowes and he said "Yeah, they do. They have light bulps and ladders like Daddy's and things for walls like paint. They have spaceships."

Lydia

It's absolutely selfish of me to keep her to myself any longer. So I must share this 4 minutes of deliciousness. A small warning that it really is FOUR minutes of Lydia doing the same thing. Being cute on a blanket on the floor.

Luke woke from his nap that day possessed by Wormwood. There was nothing I could do to calm him. Keith was late coming home. We had to push our appointment back a half hour. Add to that, the wind was trying to make it to Canada in 10 seconds flat! It was not looking good for our family photos.
But luckily, we were in the best of hands. Once we met up with Kristen, things started working out. She took us to a secluded non-windy area (hard to find), made Luke laugh, smile, and worked magic with her camera. It. Was. Great!

Six months worth

Our blog has been in "pause" mode for quite awhile so we now get to "fast forward" to the present. It will probably be in two installments. Here's the first:

For spring break, we went to Chicago and Nauvoo for Laura's wedding. Luke sure had fun at the Arch in St. Louis.

The Sears Tower elevator was as impressive as the whole building! Very fast. Luke doesn't look tired at all, does he?

Luke was excited for Laura and Nick's big day.

Walking around the temple at night with Keith was one of many highlights of the week. It's one of the most peaceful places I've ever been.

What a handsome young boy!

Luke has learned haircuts and candy go together like Bert and Ernie, chocolate and peanut butter, bicycles and tight shorts.

We've studied ladybugs..








Had an Easter egg hunt with friends!!





Played with a real bunny!!






He had fun modeling his Easter outfit. It was very difficult to choose just one photo.














This was one of the rare times he waters the flowers AND stays dry.






Playing cars while watching Cars. Boys will be boys...

Play Ball

Keith caught these nice pictures of Luke playing outside:



Cheese-y Smile?!




How ironic that we caught his cheesy smile while he was eating cheese! What a cutie...he brings joy to our life every day.
