What Makes my Heart Smile

Here is a look at Luke's first 6 months.

He has been blessed with THE most amazing father, and I have a feeling Luke knows because his face LIGHTS up when Andrew gets home from work.

At 6 months Luke is 21 pounds, and 28 1/4 in. long.

Here are my two favorite boys.

6 Months
To the best dad in the world,

I love you with all my heart.

Give 'em Two Years (and we will all be in Trouble)

Luke loves his new cousins, and is completely facinated with them. All I can say is we are going to have our hands full!

Laying hands on Atticus...haha

I couldn't resist posting this picture of my beautiful nephew Atticus
John was a little fussy and Luke doesn't like to hear babies cry (and who can blame him!).

John Phillip Ryan

We welcomed another baby boy into the family last week! David and Melanie had John Phillip Ryan on April 17th, about two weeks early, but he is one healthy little boy! He weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. and was 20in. long! Big sister Alex was so excited to finally have "wormy bob" here (that is the nickname that she has blessed him with)!

Mexi-No

Wishing we could go this year...

Did I Mention???

I am one of the newest members of P.E.O.
Ahh the good old "star meetings"....

Just Some Pictures of the Past Month

AGH!!! Luke and I went to Las Cruces to watch Carly play basketball (she just decided this year that she was going to play for her school, and it a starter! She is doing so great!), and while we were there she took me for a drive... I hope that I didn't show how completely and utterly scared I was! HAHA! I am just kidding...she did great!

Look how cute she is in her hat! She has such a great sense of style!
The rest are just some of Luke playing...


Getting a closer look at his new toy...

The smile that melts my little heart!

The Only Boobs Anyone Should See on Mardi Gras

I threw a Mardi Gras Party for Andrew, Luke, and I complete with jambalaya, french bread, a King Cake (or my version- Funfetti with chocolate icing that says "king cake"), and Hurricanes to drink... Luke also had rice cereal for the first time that night, and absolutely LOVED it!

My version of the Mardi Gras Classic...I wanted to make the real thing, but then realized how difficult it would be, and opted out!

He would not even let me take the spoon out of his mouth! He LOVES the stuff!
