Luke's 6th Birthday

We celebrated Luke's 6th (wow, did I really say 6....) birthday with a party at Onyx gym yesterday (he actually got to have a party on his birthday this year!).  Needless to say...he said it was the best party EVER!  Lots of friends and family....what more could a little boy ask for AND April Webb made another OUTSTANDING cake for Luke this year.
 Luke had been looking forward to this party since we started planning it months ago.  
 Allie had a blast!

 This year, instead of gifts, we talked with Luke about giving something instead of getting lots of toys.  Since September is childhood cancer awareness month and Sydney's Coins for Courage was going on, we had the kids bring money to donate.  It was a huge hit!  We ended up raising $78.  Way to go kids!












 Happy birthday Luke!
We along with cousins and grandparents, did have gifts for Luke when we got home....

Couldn't wait to open the Spiderman costume for Grammy and Papaw!  This was a HUGE hit!

Lukes starts Kindergarten

Well, it's here...a day that I really haven't been looking forward to in 6 years...well, for that matter, have even really thought about until this past week or so.  Man, Kindergarten already?  I tear up as I type this post.  Luke is ready, that's all that matters.  Luke is such a loving, caring little boy.  He gets his feelings hurt easy...but is a tough one!  Tries to hold it in when he gets hurt!  Am I ready to release him to the "world"...ummm, no.  If I could bubble my kiddos, I would.  But have we put him in a bubble the past almost 6 years.  No.   I know that Luke and Allie will learn the most from me and Cory.  We teach our children to follow the Lord.  And, I know that they both will be exposed to kids/adults that don't believe what we believe.  I pray daily that God will look over our children and keep them from harm.  And as Luke starts Kindergarten, it really hits me that we have to continue to teach him daily what God wants him to be.  
Luke, I hope your first day of school is everything you want it to be!!  
We love you to the moon and back!

 He's not a morning person....at all!  He gets it honest from me!

Allie's favorite outfit

Her polka dot skirt (sometimes called a sweater) and her 
Minnie shirt....add some crazy hair and you've got Allie's favorite outfit.
Here she is blowing bubbles outside in her favorite outfit....

Luke's letter to the Tooth Fairy....

Luke had 2 more teeth pulled on Thursday.  (Thanks APDA).  But, Thursday night was Luke's special pallet night (special treat where he gets to sleep in our floor...he LOVES it!).  So, we decided it would be a good idea to leave the tooth fairy a note to let her know where Luke was....

Children's Discovery museum

We decided to have one more "Hoo-Rah" before school starts (where has summer gone??).  We took the kids to Chatanooga, TN for a visit to the Children's Discovery museum yesterday.  They LOVED it.  We were going to go to the aquarium as well, but, the kids didn't want to leave this place.  (I forgot my camera, so these pictures were taken with my iPhone....thank goodness for technology!).  









 Also stopped in for some good 'ol Ben and Jerry's....couldn't resist!

Kiddie Carnival August 2012

We helped Kinley celebrate her 5th birthday July 30th with a party at the Kiddie Carnival.  We always enjoy going to the Kiddie Carnival.  It's like a tradition.  But, we are horrible parents....we wait for a private party/gathering to take our kids!  Usually it's so crowded on the weekends....and we just aren't up for that!  So, we were tickled when Kinley wanted to have her party there!
