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.

Family Photos
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...
Catching a ballgame on a rainy, Monday afternoon.

Stephanie walked in on Luke doing this....

Just to set the record straight...I do not get tired after putting three articles of clothing in the washer!

Summer California Trip
This summer we flew to California. Beautiful weather, sandy beaches (mostly), and wonderful company all made for a vacation to remember. It was action-packed: flew in to San Diego Tues morning, spent the rest of the day with Keith's bro Ryan, Donna, and Kasia at the San Diego Zoo. It lives up to the hype, for sure. Absolutely beautiful landscaping, wide variety of animals with environments/exhibits being the nicest I've seen.
The next day we went to Seaworld and watched the shows and walked around. Our favorite show was not Shamu, but "Clyde and Seamore's Risky Rescue." Hilarious. Sea Lions are smart AND funny. The Dolphin Discovery was fun, but getting to touch the Rays was even better. They're squishier than I'd thought. Luke and Kasia were great. Aren't they adorable?
Then Wednesday evening we drove up to San Clemente and stayed with Keith's aunt Linda for a few days. During that time, was the Bellon Family Reunion (Grandma Mehner's side). Thursday afternoon was a dinner at a Nature Park Center, Friday was up at a lake in the mountains, and Saturday we spent at Corona del Mar Beach and then at a relative's home for dinner and more swimming and games.
But now for the main event. This summer Keith's grandparents were sealed in the Newport Temple and it was something! Special doesn't even begin to describe this most important occasion.
They are so happy! But I'll tell you what, Grandma is a lesson in patience. They'd only been married 58 years! Keith's father and uncle were sealed to them as well.
The next few days were spent with Grandma and Grandpa, playing cards, taking walks, eating good food. Treasured memories.

Landscaping
We put in a border around our flower beds a couple months ago. As you can see Luke did the supervising, as usual.
We used a blue hackett tumbled stone that we just couldn't be happier with.

Luke's First Haircut!!
Let's be honest, Luke doesn't have a whole lot of hair to begin with so why does he need it cut? The little guy's hair was growing faster on the sides than the top! So about a month ago we just trimmed it up some.
We never could quite figure out if Luke liked getting his hair cut or not. At least it will be awhile until his next. I don't think I liked this look he was giving me.
