The birthday boy!

I'm really behind. I thought the best way to catch up for my sanity is to go backwards. End of December is Luke's birthday. Unfortunately, it falls around the Holidays and wasn't able to get time off for his birthday. We decided to celebrate it on the weekend.

Luke is obsessed with trains and so we decided to take him to the miniature train museum at balboa park in San Diego on Saturday. He loved it! Luke was just fascinated watching the trains go by. The museum was pretty impressive. It was fun low stress birthday for our two year! Wow! Has time flown by!

Disney Cruise

I'm really behind in our blog so I thought I would just start from where we are right now. In January, we went on cruise with the Lewis Family to the Mexican Riveria. Last minute, Matt couldn't go because his dad was in the hospital; however, Matt still wanted Luke and I still to go on the cruise.

So highlights of the cruise:

- The boardwalk at Puera Vallarta (sand sculptures and rock art)

- The city cathedral

- Towel animals that awaited us every night

- Views of Cabo San Lucas (we were sick so we were confined to the boat.)

-Spending time with the Lewis Family.

A snapshot

OK, so I know that it has been awhile since I've blogged. I couldn't find the USB cable for our camera and I hate blogging without pictures. So here's a quick snapshot of our summer:

Beach camping at Doheney Beach. It rained on us. Luke didn't sleep. Hopefully, our next camping trip will be better.

Playing at Mission Bay with friends.

Visiting Auntie Malinda in Arkansas. Hanging out with PawPaw and Memaw in Oklahoma.

Eating lots of ice cream.

Spending lots of time in the pool.

Discovering bubbles.

Hanging out at the beach.

Beach camping at Point Mugu. Absolutely beautiful! We saw dolphins, seals, & pelicans. It was a rough start getting there. Matt's truck gave out. Luke was incredibly hyper (he wouldn't take a nap.) Fortunately, he did sleep that night. We are definitely coming back next year. We can't wait.

Bad Habits

Unfortunately, Luke has picked up some of our bad habits.

You know . . .

It's all fun until you have to clean it.

SwInGiNg

You know that Luke must be having a blast if he's hanging from the chandler.(You can't tell, but Luke's standing on our kitchen table.) Luke has officially entered into his climbing stage.

One of my favorite things

One of my favorite things is to walk in on this little guy going through a book. In the morning, Luke and I read books together, but it warms my heart when he does it by himself. Love this little guy!
