Dear Luke,
Well, this month came and went. We did a lot this month as far as traveling, working on our house, and starting to play outside. You did a lot this month as far as development and growth. :) Not a surprise. You change every day and are always learning something new. Every time you do something new I scream and clap and almost cry and you stare at me like I'm a crazy person. So does daddy. (He is excited too, deep down, just too afraid to act crazy like me.) You are my best friend and I love hearing you scream with joy when I go in your room in the mornings to get you up.
Firsts/Things we did this month:
-You can move around couches like a champ. Soo fast.
-You have had so much practice moving around that you can almost stand up by yourself without support. So big!
-We went on your second trip from Las Vegas to Heber. You did great in the car on the way up, but the plane ride on the way back was a little rocky. It was past your bedtime and you didn't like the lights being off.
-You are beginning to understand words more and more and when we ask where something or someone is you look that direction.
-You got your second bottom tooth at the end of last month, but I forgot to update that!
-We are pretty sure you will get your top teeth any day because you have been GRUMPY this week.
-You still take two naps, but I think you could make the adjustment to one if I would help you. I'm just not quite ready to give it up!
-You are getting quite the attitude. You want what you want when you want it. And if you dont get it, tantrum it is. :)
-You got two more ear infections, in both ears. Luckily they cleared up right away with antibiotics.
-You discovered a new food that you could eat all day every day and love it. Spaghettios (YUCK) You absolutely love them. And that might explain why at your re-check for your ear infections today you weighed 23 lbs, 9 oz. BIG boy.
Daddy and I just love watching you play as you get more and more independent. It's so funny the things you do with your toys and the noises you make. Soon enough you will be standing on your own, and walking. I'm not ready for that. You are already pretty hard to chase around and want to be into everything. We found an above-the-ground pool to put in our back yard and we can't wait to swim with you as the weather gets nicer. It will be a fun thing for us. Everyone comments on how long and cute your hair is and we plan on letting it grow to see what it does. Then we'll decide whether we want to cut it or not. It's just soo cute! You grew out of lots of your clothes this month too. Which was sad. Most days, you look like a little boy and not like a baby because you are in 18 month clothing. But, I have to face the facts-you are becoming a little boy faster than I think! Love you so much honey bear. Can't wait for this month and all the fun it will bring!
Love, Mom

Bedroom and Broomsticks......
....this post is random, thus the title. :) I started typing bedroom and "bedknobs and broomsticks" came to mind..haha. That movie.
Drew, Luke and I went up to Heber two weekends ago just for a fun get-away. My dad works with one of the Utah Jazz marketing people, and was able to SCORE us awesome tickets. Including dinner and halftime treats. It was AWESOME. Our seats were right next to the Jazz bench, behind the hoop and 3 rows up. Let me tell you, THAT was a game. I felt like I was one of the players haha. It was a lot of fun. Drew had to go home to work on Monday (long drive by himself :( ) and Luke and I stayed the week to help my mom watch my brother's little boy, Maddix. Kellen and Dez went on a cruise for their 5th anniversary, and we watched Maddix for them. It was a CRAZY week. I thought it would be relaxing but no way. I'm glad I don't have two babies that are 9 months and almost 2...that would be ROUGH. It was fun to get away for a week, but I was happy to get back to Drew. ESPECIALLY because he's amazing and did some fun stuff to our house! After we got Luke to bed, he walked me around the house surprising me with things. 1-He made me weight watcher friendly potato salad. MY FAVE. (Okay, I do caps a lot...sorry...) So yummy and thoughtful of him. 2-He cleaned our master closet. Okay, mainly my side. Haha...which is probably more exciting to him than to me. I can be a little messy.... 3-He FOUND ME A BASKETBALL HOOP for our back yard! AHH I just about died. I love him! It was free and he just had to buy a net and figure out a way to keep it standing. I love it :) Luke loves watching me out there atleast an hour a day. Haha. 4-He painted our end tables brown to match our new couches. and 5- He painted/decorated our bedroom and I almost cried I love it so much. He is so creative. Here are pics!
Here is our *clean* master closet. You can't see the clothes hanging but on both sides there are two bars to hang clothes. As you can see, I already have a pile started of clothes I tried on and decided not to wear. Haha...oops.
A view from our bedroom into our bathroom. The door that you can see in the mirror is where the toilet is. We are going to paint the bathroom dark brown, like the colors in our curtain.
A view from further back in our bedroom. Don't you love the vinyl branches Drew did? So cute.
The view above our bed, that is on the floor right now. Drew is building a bed and had the cutest idea of having a french door (without a handle) be our head board. We are working on it..
Another view...
Love our bedspread...it matches the green and white walls so well!
Poor little buddy fell asleep sitting up! Haha...must've been exhausted!
I took a couple pics of him today just for fun because I love his little outfit. (He is a tree-hugger like mommy... :) ) He loves it too..haha.
He looks funny here but you can see his bottom teeth really well and his LONG eyelashes that everyone comments on.
Sweet head.
Blurry but he was charging me...haha.
Sweet little man in his mini-mom outfit from one of my best friends, Ziggy.

And of course I have to include some pics of the little munchkin. He is getting so big and will be walking before we know it. He is ALL over the place...he keeps me on my toes. The other day I listened to him on the monitor jabber on before his nap and when he fell silent I went to check on him to see if he fell asleep. Here is what I found:

I can't believe our next post will most likely be Luke's 10 month letter/update. CRAZY!! It's getting very warm here and I hope we can enjoy the few nice weeks before the hot oven sets in.

House pics and update :)
A couple weeks ago I said I would put pics up of our house cause lots of people have been asking for them :) Well.. I wanted to wait until we did all updates and got our new furnitures. But it is taking MUCH longer than expected. SO, I will blog about the stuff that is finished and will save the rest for later. It's really just our bedroom and landscaping that need finished. Everything else, I will post about. Enjoy!
Heres a view from the driveway..I didn't want to walk in the street so it's not the best shot.
I just had to include a pic of my cute "peep wreath" I made for Easter..we had to put it inside the door because it's too small and will melt outside.
Thats a view of the front room/door (obviously from across the room..) There is a pony wall dividing the front room from the living room.
Here is a view of the living room (other side of pony wall.) We painted and those couches/lovesac are new. We didn't know what to do with those cubby type things, but we think it looks pretty good!
This is right to the right of the front door, and a tiny view of the stairs...
And again, the wall/stairs to the right of the front door.
The front room. (View from front door.) Those are our old couches that used to be in the living room. I think we have WAY too many couches in way too little space but Drew disagrees so we'll see what we end up with. Our computer is upstairs in the guest room right now, that computer is my parents' and I'm using it to edit all our home videos right now...and that keyboard is also just temporary until Iget my piano here. Once I do, my piano will be the only thing on that wall.
Front door view (again.)
Back yard..there was an above the ground swimming pool in that beach sand, we don't know what we'll do with it yet :) Our hammock isn't set up either, obviously..

These pics kinda got our of order so it might be confusing, but you'll get it if you keep looking. Here is the kitchen. We eventually want black appliances.
Our little "nook"
View of the living room/kitchen.
Above the t.v....

Dont ask me why I took this pic so many times! Sorry!
View from top of stairs.
Luke's/Guest bathroom
Our bedroom is still in the works...we got it painted, and bought our decor and beadspread. We are just waiting to have our bed built (explain that later.) So I will do more pics of our bedroom/bathroom, and guest bed later!
