Luke's 1st Football Game

Last Friday night we joined some of my family at Orange County's High Schools All-Star game. It was divided into a North and South team. My sister's boyfriend was asked to play. This was Luke's first time at an actual football game. He was on a date night with mommy. Daddy was playing poker and Kai stayed with his Aunt Jean. We had a great time. We were pleasantly surprised when my brother and his family showed up. Luke loves all of his cousins.

PS. Carey is doing great. It has been 8 weeks since his accident. He will actually be returning to work tomorrow. Thank you again for your prayers.

PSS. Luke is going to be devastated when Eryn leaves to college in Arizona next month. :0(

Luke's 1st time bowling......

Luke had seen some kids bowling on the Disney channel so off we went to try it out! He LOVED it. We have already been 4 times since! :0) He has bowled 1 strike and several spares.......with bumpers of course! Remember to always ask for coupons when bowling. Bill, Luke, and I bowled 2 games with shoes for $26 with no coupon. Luke bowled the very next day 2 games and I paid $1.98 with the coupons they had given us the day before! I kid you not. I can see many more days at the bowling alley! Doesn't he look so big here?

4th of July

We had a quiet 4th of July this year at our house. Usually we have all of my family and Bill's family over to swim, eat, and do fireworks. Not this year! We ended up at one neighbor's house playing on a rented water slide and using a dunk tank as well as were able to eat and swim at yet another wonderful neighbor's house. We had a great day. The kids were absolutely pooped out with fun! Somehow I didn't end up with many pictures, but here are a few.

Front Loading Washer BEWARE.....There Is A Sock Monster!

Sorry I haven't blogged yet this summer. I am indeed behind by like 4 or 5 topics! THIS COULD NOT WAIT! Tonight I was in my OCD form taking apart and washing all of my car seats, my single stroller, my double stroller, and my travel seat. Anyway....I was putting back together one of my car seats when I noticed I was missing half of the clip that goes across your chest. I couldn't find it anywhere. The only place I even thought it MIGHT be was stuck inside some other piece of material or something in the washer. I was talking on the phone with my girlfriend Ali when I noticed you could pull back the rubber near the front of the machine. I was horrified. All Ali could do was laugh as I explained this disgusting and odd find. Yes, I did find my clip and I found 25 odd baby socks. TWENTY - FIVE! Oh yeah, and a candy wrapper, a nickel, a penny, and a black sharpie. I was telling her when I had Luke I used to joke that the sock monster was true because I would loose a sock here or there (which is not like me at all) and I just couldn't come up with where it went. Now I know. Please don't hold it against me! Disgusting!
