8 1/2 Months

I haven't done a post of Luke's months in a while. He is growing and changing so much. He is pulling himself up, crawling everywhere, and getting into everything. He has two teeth on bottom with 4 MORE coming in up top.

Blakelee's baptism

I love having so many nieces and nephews. It seems like someone is always turning the special age of 8. We went to Yuma for Blakelee's baptism and Laura's baby shower. We were happy to spend time in Yuma before the start of the semester. The weekend was jam packed with swimming, baby shower, bowling, great food, and great family time. Eight of the ten sibling and their families were in town. I forgot to take pictures most of the time so here are the few I captured.

Hyder Weekend

We went to Hyder a few weeks ago and loved staying in my mom's new house. It was a perfect getaway from the sticky city. The weather was surprisingly cool for the end of July. 

Luke went on his first motorcycle ride and seemed to like it.

There is just something special about being able to shoot off your back porch. Eric and Kurtis set up cans and  other targets. Just before they started to shoot a poor bunny hopped right in front of the targets. I don't think I   even have to tell you the fate of the little rabbit.

First reptile brought into the new house, needless to say the stay was short lived.

And lastly, ping pong has because a fierce family sport. Kurtis and Mom play best of 5 sets to determine todays champ.

My handsome husband!!!

Eric got his braces off today!! After 7 years of metal mouth, it is practically the best day ever. It took Luke a little bit to recognize his daddy's new look.
