Handy men

Journaling reads:
I have always loved that your dad is handy. On cars, plumbing, electrical, or just basic things around the house - he knows how to fix it. You boys love to help your Daddy when he is fixing things. You are immediately drawn to what ever project he has going, whether it being tightening up the screws on a chair or putting your gate up on the wall. I am so glad you are inheriting your Daddy’s handy skills.

Boo!

Good Gurl

Credits here


Journaling reads:
Luke, you have become really attached to Belle. In the morning when you lie on my bed, you eventually roll your way over to the bottom of the bed to pet and love on her. Lately you like to try to make Belle do tricks that she does for Daddy and I. Your favorite one seems to be telling her you "can't reach" something so she will bring it right to you. After she performs her tricks for you, you always turn to me to share it and end with, "Belle a good gurl" and pat her head. She is your buddy, that Belle-girl.

Love you because..

Journaling reads:
My heart beats faster when you are near. You are such an animal lover. The sound of your breathing is like a lullaby at night. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better father for my children. You are so good at fixing things. I like how you stick up for the underdogs. You know what I am thinking without me speaking a word. Your hands feel so strong when you rub my back. I love the way your laughter can fill a room. I know I am so blessed to have a husband like you.

Inspired by BrendaJ’s beautiful LO “I See Love”.

My 3 Little Monkeys

Credits here


Journaling reads:
The day this was taken was one of the first times your Dad and I took you out for the day. We went to an art walk and so many people stopped us to comment on how full our hands were. Once it was time to eat, your Dad ran to the car to get bottles while I laid you out on the grass to let you stretch your little bodies.

Being it was one of my first times alone with you out in the public eye like that, I was so nervous. What if you started getting hungry before your dad got back? What if you guys started crying all at once? But none of that happened. You were content to lie on the grass and explore. I was so proud of my little monkeys for helping their Momma look like she had it totally under control.

You have been married for over 20 years, and it is still rare to get a picture of the two of you together.

This was taken at the boys third birthday bbq. Lots of family and friends celebrating and we were all having such a fun time. Such good memories and such a great picture.

Luke Unplugged

Journaling reads:

May 2008

Even though your brothers are always around, you tend to go in your own direction and do your own thing.

You don’t seem to need approval for what you do, although you love when your Dad and I join you in what ever you are trying to tackle.

Your mind amazes me. You can put things together in your head and usually do a good job of figuring out what you want by yourself.

You are so cool. Even though you have no idea what that means yet, you are. You like skateboards, drums, guitars and jump fearlessly from high places.

You are my “Cool little Luke”

Day at the Beach

Credits here and here



Journaling reads:
On the very last day of our vacation, the sun was finally out long enough for us to play at the beach. You guys loved digging in the sand and playing in the water or walking on the beach and lying down on a towel with Nana. It didn’t bother you that the water was cold; you enjoyed every minute of playing in it.

Turning Three

Journaling reads:
This morning you woke up a whole year older. The days have gone by so slowly, but it seems too soon for you to be three already. I can already tell this will be the most challenging year yet, already struggling with wanting to do everything “your” way. However, I know there is a lot of fun to come and so many new things for you to discover. So three, get ready, because here we come!

Nana and her boys

Credits here



Journaling reads:
Your Nana is such a huge part of your life. You love to see her, whether it is on the weekends at her house or during her usual Tuesday and Thursday morning visits. You love seeing her walk through the door and usually forget about anything else you were doing before hand. She takes you for walks and blows bubbles with you outside. She sings songs and does silly dances just to make you smile. When you are sick she comes over to comfort you and when you are happy she loves to laugh with you. You are so blessed to have such a great Nana.

Luke's Long Goodbye

Credits here



Journaling Reads:
Anytime you see us on the phone you run to the land line phone in our bedroom. It is huge compared with your little head, but you just can’t enough of it. The other day when you were talking on the phone with your Nana, you were trying in your own almost three year old way to stall. Anything to stay on that big phone.

Luke: Bye Nana..... Nan!
-pressing buttons on the phone)
Mom Tell Nana bye-bye
Luke: Bye Nan
Nana: Bye sweetheart
Luke: Bye. Hey Nana!
Nana: Yes, Luke
Luke: Nan, Nan, NAN!
Mom: Tell Nana bye-bye
Nana: Bye Lucas
Luke: Hey, Nan, Nan! ......

Fun with my Brothers

Credits here



Journaling reads:
I always get a kick out of watching you guys play together. Something as simple as waiting for your brother to come down the slide turns into breathless anticipation and then giggles and laughter as he finally comes down and pops out at you.
How fun it must be to live your life. I have a blast just watching it.

Together Again

Credits here


These pictures are so meaningful to me. They were taken the day Lucas was released from the hospital and able to come home with us. Your Dad and I brought you boys over to Nana and Pops' house and laid you down on a blanket so you could get reacquainted. We were so happy and excited; I kept calling up to Nana to tell her to come watch you. I have to admit, you guys weren't doing anything very exciting to watch, just lying there and looking around. But to your Dad and I- it was the most exciting, beautiful sight we had ever seen. Our three little babies finally home, finally together again.

Time went by so quickly that we never saw the day to day change. But putting together these 4 pictures, I can't believe how much you have grown in only 14 months!

Gone are the days of neck pads to keep your heads up straight. Now are the days of being able to play and touch each other in the car.

Credits: Everything from the kit "Twas the night" by Shabby Princess



Journaling reads:
Christmas day was so much fun! After meeting Reagan and her family for breakfast, we headed over to Nana and Pops to open our presents. The boys got the neatest toys - little remote control bus, garbage truck and fire truck, Caterpillar trucks that beep and talk, and a fun traffic light. Lucas liked to hang out with Pops and help him put toys together while Jaxon would pair up with Aunt Leigha, Daddy or Bruiser for a few minutes at a time. Wyatt liked to take his time opening the presents, making sure every bit of paper was off before he would look to see what was inside.

It was wonderful seeing the boys get excited about their new toys or listening to them laugh when they would try to tear into the wrapping paper. So much fun and laughter -just how a family Christmas is meant to be.

Journaling reads:
Christmas Eve we went to Nana & Pops to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. Everyone from Gram Robinson, Uncle Ray’s family to little Reagan was there, along with the Smith’s and of course, Nana, Pops, Leigha and TJ. You boys loved playing with Mallory, keeping her busy chasing you through out the house. Your Dad and I have celebrated most holidays with all these people since before we were married, and it meant so much to add you three boys to the mix.
