Photo Booth Fun

So for the FIRST time in my entire life I took a picture in one of those photo booths that you see around malls. It was Mav's idea and I am so glad we tried it! We realized too late that either we were too tall for the machine or we needed to scrunch down a bit but managed to get a few cute ones anyway!

A compilation

I have been derelict in my duties...I know. Here are the other pics I promised like 8 weeks ago, or something like that. Mav and I detoured to the Garrison Dam the last time we headed home to Williston. SOOOO much water and the sound...I couldn't believe how loud the rushing water was! Luke cooperated for Mav's pic, of course, and then decided to look the part of disgruntled baby for my pic. Still cute though (Luke, not me...in case any of you were confused). Also included are just a few of Luke doing his best to look like a little boy and not my little baby!!!

Just a teaser...

I could not wait to share this picture of my sweet little guy! He is the light of our lives and fills every day with love, laughter, and sunshine. I am working on some more pics but for the moment this should tide you over...

Introducing...the SPOON

Luke had his first real cereal (from a spoon!!!!) today! He made such a mess and some serious faces but did a really good job. He actually opened his mouth for the spoon and then had a really fun time spitting it right back out. Even covered in mushy, icky "cereal" HE IS SUCH A CUTIE!!! :)

I love giggles!!!

Mav was making Luke laugh today and it was soooo cute! Luke was so happy and his laugh was so contagious! He is such a happy boy and his laughter is THE best thing in the world!!!

Boys, boys, and more boys

We had visitors yesterday!!! :) Jess and the boys drove the extra miles AROUND Devils Lake to come and play with us! We met out for lunch, hung out at the house for a bit, and then went to the park  It was Luke's first park outing complete with toes in the grass! We put Preston to work mowing the grass (while Nater took a nap) and Luke and Owen played together on the playmat. It was sooooo nice to have them here and Luke and I loved every minute! And of course I couldn't resist throwing in some cute pics of my baby boy...he just lights up a room with his smile!!

the thumb wins...

Luke has been sucking his hands like crazy lately and trying to find his thumb. He hasn't quite figured out how to fold his fingers in but obviously the thumb is winning over the paci.

Just Lucas

Here are a few pics I took the other day of Luke in his cute little outfit...He looks like such a big boy!!!

Baptism

Here are a few pics from Luke's baptism. It went by in such a blur! We had Luke dressed up in his little suit but he was down to his onesie in no time...it was way too hot in there!! But we were so glad to be surrounded by our friends and family and Luke's godparents Kelly and Mal - what a special moment to share with all of them!

Ok, so this time around we hope to all be feeling great and healthy!!!
