Today is Luke's Birthday

I cant believe my precious baby boy is 2 years old today. We had his birthday party yesterday. It was a beach/tropical theme. We had a lot of fun, rain and all. I will try to post those later. Here is little Luke's 1st 2 years of life.

Happy Birthday Luke, you will never know what joy you have brought into my life.

2 months

Tomorrow Audrey will be 2 mths old. She is getting to that fun age where she will smile for you. These are actually the 1st time I got her smiling on camera. Plus I added Faith and Luke right around 2 mths old. I love comparing who looks like who.

    Awww!! I forgot that Audrey's middle name is Grace! So is mine! It's a family name (my Mom is Donna Grace, and her mom was Grace). I was "supposed" have a girl so I could pass along that name, so my baby sister had to name her only daughter "Holly Grace" instead! :D

    We ended up not going to the lake. :( I was pretty sad. But Enrique had my best interest at heart. He was afraid my water would break in the nasty water and I wouldnt know it. Oh well. Maybe next time.
    I know Nancy and Ryan Reel went. So I'm sure Nancy would give you some pointers on Canyon Lake. :) Hope all is well!

There isn't much new going on. I thought I would just post a pic of my sweet baby girl.

Sniff, it is hard to believe how big Audrey is getting. When I put this little outfit on her I could hardly button it. I guess that means I need to do a little shopping for her (that is my bright side).

Can you believe all the celebrity deaths? I think the one I am saddest about is Billy Mays. I kind of liked him.

I hope you are all doing good. Have a great week!
  • tiny_tim
    Yeah. what will we do without him screaming his head of about his cleaning product

    I thought it was sad too... he seemed really nice. Your baby girl is so sweet!

I have amazing children. I am always amazed at them. Precious, precious!

Today I was cleaning the house and Faith and Luke beg to help. I know I should take advantage of that while they are so willing. I am sure it wont be that way in a few years. I bought a swiffer duster the other day and they both dusted for me. Then I was about to do my dry swiffer around the house and asked Faith if she wanted to help. She ran to me saying "SURE"! She has a small swiffer that my Grandmother got her for x-mas one year. So I put a pad on hers and mine and we got quite a bit done.

About a 3 weeks ago I lost my debt card and license. The last I remembered having it was at Brookshires, I had called them and they said no one had turned it in. While hoping it would show up Ryan and I got nervous about it and decided to cancel my debt card. I just got my new one in the mail a few days ago and I am still waiting on my new license. Yesterday I was sitting in the recliner feeding Audrey and Luke walked up reached under the chair and pulled out my lost debt card. I was so excited to know it wasn't floating around out in the world. I looked under the chair to see if my license was under there, but no luck. Today I was feeding Audrey and Luke walked up stuck his hand under the chair and handed me non other than my license. He is always able to find things we cant. We can ask him at any given time where our house shoes are and he goes and gets them. He is quite the helper.

The last 2 nights Audrey has started sleeping in longer stretches. This has made life very great! Hopefully that will continue.

    Ashley, I am just now catching up with Audrey. I am SO glad everything is fine now. She's beautiful! All your precious children are (just like their Mama). You should frame that one of you and your two girls. :)
