Summer moving too quickly......

I can't believe I'm finding myself updating this and tomorrow it will be July! I remember as a kid that the 4th of July was the downward slide toward school starting again. Now it's just the downward slide to winter. BLAH! Anyhow, I will not speak anymore of that depressing season! David and I just c elebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on the 21st and were able to go out and have a really nice evening to ourselves :) We are truly enjoying the summertime weather! Haven't been able to get out just the 3 of us to do things, but oh well, we're still having fun! Hope everyone else it having a wonderful summer as well! Not a whole lot of new stuff ( well just little things), no major milestones yet. Still working on the sitting, and what to do once we're on our belly. Luke LOVES his belly... almost every time I change his diaper he flips over on the changing table and sleeps like that EVERY night too. Aunt Dana (David's sister) was just in town and got to see him for the first time since the hospital when he was born. She and grandma watched him a couple of days. He's been healthy and for the most part happy :) Still drooling a lot, but I don't see or feel any teeth yet. Who knows though, one may pop up and surprise me. He's officially had all the vegetables and has liked every one of them...YEAH! He's learning to use a sippy cup as well. He's good at drinking from it, just need to hold on better and understand you have to tilt it up to get anything out of it! I'm going to call and schedul 6 month pictures since we haven't had any professional ones yet. Figure 6 months is a good time. I think that's it, I'm keeping busy working and taking care of the day to day stuff while David is playing softball for 2 church teams and working a lot as well (as our lawn shows)!! Later! ><>

No sling anymore....big boy bath! Now we're not even using the sponge.

Just a fun picture since he was wearing a bright orange shirt

Reading his book on kittens

Just a silly face

An even sillier face! "Don't come too close!!"


Looks like he should be hitting the sail boat...too bad we don't have one.


Of course on his belly!



Following in daddy's footsteps. :)


Bonding time on Father's Day!!!


At Grandma and Grandpa Kandel's for Father's Day

"Hey mom, look what I can do!"


"I could have sworn my mouth was big enough for this."

"I give up...at least I KNOW my fingers fit!"


Thought we'd let him try some cake icing....didn't end up too well IN his mouth.

A true OSU fan! He's hoping for a better year!


Aunt Heather and Luke at cousin Sam's graduation party

Me and sissy Heather :)


Poor Luke was SUCH a good boy all day at the party and eventually got so exhausted he actually fell asleep being held (which NEVER happens) He always looks so big to me until I see a picture like this and realize how small he still is :)

My handsome hubby giving cousin Weston a shoulder ride at the party


Such a cutie :) His shirt says "Best in Show" with a weiner dog. HA!

Somebody help me out here.....how do I get over there?


Luke met our good friend Leo. He's never seen a Columbian before, can you tell? :)

Luke LOVED being up on my shoulders, and then proceeded to LOVE pulling my hair!


"I think I see a gray hair daddy...hold still and I'll get it for you!"

Where did all these toys come from?
