Pumpkin Carving with Friends

We went to the pumpkin patch a second time with our friends & their son Last weekend. The weather wasn't as nice but we can do anything in the rain. Afterwards we came home ate pizza & carved our pumpkins.







Luke though it was a snack. I washed it off & it turned into a great teething toy.

Pumpkin carving is so fun. We had a really good day!

Cheer Camp 2010

Our Friend Andrea is the new Cheerleading coach at North Valley High School & she did a kids cheeer camp. Christine went and had a great time yelling for the Knight. All week she practiced her dance & her cheer it was really cute.

As soon as she was done off came the skirt & she was playing football in the end zone with the boys.

Luke 10 months old

Luke is walking around. We have a little kitty he likes to play with between the window.


Just silly stuff

Nice smile.

We were just having fun with the camera while he was sitting in my lap.

Luke is Mobil

Luke is totally mobile. He is not only walking but he is climbing & do some tricks on his Kiddie bike.

This little wagon was Jaren's (his 10 year old cousin) and he loves to pull it around. Luke also climbs in it & wants to be pulled by Christine. He will sit in there a long time and wait.

This is the other favorite toy. This was Christine's. He pushes this all over the yard & house. He is starting to do tricks. SCARY!!

Luke climbed on this & then Todd & Mark grabbed him. Crazy!!! Boys are so different! He is a mover & a shaker!

Luke & Jens Trip to the North

Luke, Kathy & I made our way to East Portland Visited my cousin Corey & his family. It was great to see them & their new Little one. He was so cute. Then we made our way to my other cousin in Forest Grove. Staid there a night. Then Saturday went to Vernoia & got these great pics of Luke & his Cousin. Kylie's mother in law Donna provided us a meal fit for a king and this great basket of apples that Luke really enjoyed. Donna has a great set up & her toy box was wonderful. Luke loved that little car thing he pushed that thing around for a long time.

Luke Really liked Jackson & we had a good time staying with them. It is always nice to stay in a house that is kid proofed.
