Luke is SIX!

 Our sweet Lukie turned SIX while we were at the beach!!! Needless to say he had one heck of a party! We did not do a big friends party for him this year, just because we thought the beach was a lot and we did have my whole family with us. Plus J's family came over the weekend before to celebrate so he had a nice week full of celebrations.

Since Luke joined our family 6 years ago he has changed our lives. He was my baby for 5 years and 9 months, I always tell him he will always be my baby. Luke is fun, silly, spontaneous, wild, spiritual, mischieveous, fearless and so sweet. Luke is a ball of energy but that is what I love about him. He deals with situations and life head on, with no worries. My prayer is for him to always have that thought about life. Will worries enough for all of us and I love that about Will too, but having a child that lives life with no worries, it is a sweet thing to watch. Luke is such an amazing child, my life would be boring without him in it!

Here is his cake we got him, we thought the beach theme was perfect and it was YUMMY! :) 

My angel boy made a wish and blew his candles out! He told me his wish came true! :)

I love this picture of Luke in the sand. This is his real smile, no faking. This child has my heart forever and I thank the Lord for him each day!



Sweet Luke, these past 6 years have been the best of our lives. You are our little firecracker and we love every ounce of you!

Thank you for being you and always stay true to yourself! Mommy and Daddy love you more than words could ever describe.

Happy 6th Birthday sweet child!

Our Lukie

Luke, our 5 year old, is so hilarious to us. I mean Will was hilarious too and still is hilarious in his own way, but Will is much more serious than Luke. Luke is very random, loud speaker and says whatever is on his mind. Will would never be caught doing such things, he plans everything out, speaks calmly and definitely thinks before he speaks!

I never want to forget this about Luke. He has said some of the silliest things lately and I want to be able to document them, one day he will no longer say these things.

1. He talks about Jesus and our Lord ALL the time! He is always the one to strike up a conversation about Heaven, Hell, Jesus, Jesus' shoes, God or animals in Heaven. I love it about Luke. I LOVE that he does not care who is around or where we are, if he feels the need to talk about Him, he will. This morning he brought me my "Heaven is for Real" book. I read it about a year ago and never realized he had it in his room and was looking at Jesus' picture a lot. This morning he said, while pointing to the picture of Jesus in the book "Mom this is the real picture of Jesus" I said "Yes it is Luke, isn't Jesus so handsome" he said "He looks really nice Mom. I can't wait to go to Heaven, I know Jesus will make me fish stick's". Of course I came back saying yes to all of these things but what I loved the most was that he honestly thinks of Jesus as his friend. He already has a love for Jesus in his heart and as I told Luke this morning, I can't wait to go to Heaven either!!

2. Luke has always been in love with babies. Yes it is a blessing considering he will have a baby brother very soon. Every time and I mean every time I eat, he always says that the baby is sitting in my belly with his mouth open and food is just dropping in his mouth, like a fish! ha!!

3. Luke loves to eat and there is not one thing that I can think of that he will not eat. I think it's hilarious because at dinner when we sit down to eat, he will not talk, he eats all of his food and then is ready to talk. He does not even drink hardly while eating. ha! He takes eating very serious and wants to enjoy it!

4. Will likes to sleep with Luke every night. Luke would prefer him to sleep in his own bed because Luke says he needs his space. Each night it is a battle but we think it is hilarious.

These are just a few things I want to remember about my sweet Lukie! He has part of my heart and he is a amazing, independent child. I love you sweet Luke, you keep us all laughing all the time! I hope that never changes about you!!

Happy 5th Birthday to my Luke!

 Luke,

On this day, you took our breath away! From the moment I found out about your little life, I knew you were the second best thing to ever happen to me.

Seconds after you were born...

1 year old! 

2 years old!

3 years old!

4 years old!

and now sadly... 5 years old!!

Lukie we can't believe our baby boy is now 5 years old. It seems like time has flown by, I remember laying awake with your Daddy the night you were born, us both balling because we made this beautiful child together. We love you more son than you will ever know!! You and your brother are our lives.

My prayer each night is for you to continue loving the Lord, learning more each day, staying funny and laughing at anything, enjoying life and just being true to yourself. We could not be more proud of you!

Happy 5th Birthday son!!
