Luke turns 8!

My sweet Lukey turned 8 years old Nov. 20th.

He wanted to go to the Lego store in Dallas for his birthday.

Wow, he is so handsome!

We call him "Cool Hand Luke" cause he is such a laid back, sweet kid.

It brings tears to my eyes seeing him grow up so fast.

Oh my! Daddy is going to be up late with this one.

Happy Birthday Luke!!!

We LOVE you more than you will ever know.

Two peas in a pod!

I asked these two to help me put the socks together after doing laundry. I was so sure this would be such a fun matching game for them, so I left them alone. Boy, did I come back to some goofy-silly boys and no socks done! Love these 2!

Lauren had crazy hair day at school.

She didn't stop with just the hair!

Check out those socks. I love her spunky self!

Hoodie Halloween

Every year we have been getting together with our Hoodie friends (our dearest friends who live in our neighborhood) and have a little adult Halloween fun.

I couldn't imagine my life without these beautiful women in it!

Karen, Me, Mindy, Liz, and Pam (missing our Trudi girl here!)

The best part is the men are such dear friends with each other too.

God has truly blessed us with some great couples in our lives!

One Sweet Kindergartner!

This little guy sure lights up my day when I pick him up from school! I have cherished every little craft he has brought home this year. Hard to believe after this year I won't every have another kindergartner.

I love you Landry Love!!

Gotta Love It When The Fair Comes To Town!

Luke wanted to get inside these blow up balls. He said he felt like Lauren's hamster.

Of course, we all had to play the games. It really it a rip-off the amount of money you spend to try and win a stuffed animal that will probably be in the next garage sale, BUT well worth every penny when you see your child smile with delight!

Our garage sale items....I mean our prizes! Kidding:)

Fun times with the 3L's!

Never let your kids pick your Halloween Costume....haha!

I am a school nurse for an awesome private school here in Texas. One of the fun things we do is have all the teachers and staff dress up for Halloween. In the past I have been a butterfly, a nurse, etc. This year I thought I would take the 3L's shopping with me to find a costume. Look what I came home as......a Hotdog! My kids have laughed and laughed at me as a big weenie. When I got to school the secretary, who I just adore, was a giant M&M. It was awesome. The entire day she and I ran from all the kids trying to take bites out of us.

Who says Halloween is just for kids?

The winner is...... and Halloween 2010

Landry placed second in the Spring Valley pumpkin contest. He was excited, but quickly reminded this momma that Lauren and Luke placed 1st in the past years. He wants to try again next year! Oh man, just when I thought I could retire from this pumpkin contest. ha!

Halloween 2010, Lauren wanted to be a fairy. She is a 6th grader and I wondered how long she would still dress up with her brothers and go trick or treating with our neighbors. I was so happy to hear that she was still wanting to do it this year. I love seeing her being a kid!

Star Wars was the big theme for the boys. Darth Vader Landry

Storm Trooper Luke. (He didn't want to be the obvious Luke Skywalker)

Our annual pumpkin picture in front of the house. This blow up is on its last leg and I beg Casey every year not to throw it away.

Me and my beautiful Fairy. Look how tall she is?

We always have fun meeting up with the neighbors to take pictures and trick or treat. I love the Star Wars battle going on in the back of this picture!
