Monday is Laundry Day

Peaches on the Patio

My new favorite tradition created by our big guy. Luke loves to run run run out to the peach tree and grab two ( and it must be two, one for each hand) peaches. Then he will saunter back to the patio and devour them. Rubbing them all over his face, his shirt, the steps. It is an experience. One that I have come to truly enjoy. Somehow it feels farmy, like we have a small town home and can go pick fruit from the back yard eat it warm and then toss the seeds onto the grass. I look forward to many years of this tradition. Sorry we must have gotten caught up in the fun and put the camera away when it got messy.

And one surfing pic just for fun.

Labor Day 09

We had so much fun this year without even going on vacation. We went on a hike just up a little canyon by our house. It was Luke first time "hiking" He actually did amazingly well. He wanted to walk up himself instead of be in the pack so we all marched up together so that he would get his feet high enough to avoid slipping on the rocky trail. But his favorite part ended up being the rocky trail. We kept trying to pick up these rocks about the size of his torso, that were buried. Then we hit a huge down pour of rain so we ran down on the way back. It was so fun! It is nice to be able to start doing these family outings together.

Then on Sunday we had a picnic in the park and fed the ducks at the pond. Luke was crazy for the ducks (or duck ducks as he refers to them) He kept reaching out to try to hug them. He was in heaven when all of the sudden he was surrounded by about twenty. At one point I thought he would walk right back into the pond with them.

Add the BYU win overy OU in the middle of that and we had a killer weekend!

Ahhh Summer... when the living is easy.

I'm not sure what we are going to do come winter when he HAS to wear pants and stay inside most of the day, arg, I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Luke LOVES pens, he can find them anywhere and knows he shouldn't. He actually found this one while we were playing hide go seek. Perhaps I should start counting to 5 instead of 10.
