luke's true love

he sleeps with them...... and wakes up with them......

monster trucks.....morning, noon and night!

chop sticks

cory brought home p.f. changs last night-my absolute fave!!! so, as you know, this meal always comes with chop sticks. luke just had to have a try with them. he actually did pretty good with his mashed potatos and peas! they just kinda stuck to the chop sticks!

cruzin'

today was "cruzin' on the square" in athens. so, we went to see papaw's car. luke loves papaw's '68 chevy chevelle! it was a WONDERFUL day for a good 'ol car show.

grammy and papaw cruzin' like the good old days!

mr. independent

luke insists on brushing AND flossing his teeth by himself now days. BUT....i ALWAYS get my turn, too!! he's growing up too fast....

happy birthday, sydney!

sydney turned "5"on the 17th of february. her parents were a little late on the birthday...ha ha!she's growing up so fast! it seemes like yesterday that we were holding her as a newborn. we were late to her birthday party due to the circus; but we got there in enough time for cake and ice cream.

we love you sydney!!

the "greatest show on earth"!

we took luke to the circus yesterday. it was pretty good (can't compare to Cirque du Soliel....), but, for a two year old, it was ok. luke's favorite part was the clowns, which were pretty funny, and of corse, the elephants! as soon as he saw them, he said "roll tide, baby". i guess i can actually say cory and i are raising him right!!!!

this guy that trained the tigers scared us to death!!!

the classic elephant pose

the classic bicycle on a tight rope

this was really good...this was the National Anthem
