Luke Family Trip


We spent the weekend with my family at Grandma's cabin in Mack's Inn Idaho. Ten kids(7 under the age of 3) made for tons of crazy fun. Claire and Sean were the best travelers. They slept well and played hard. Mark and I had so much fun being away and enjoying everyone's company.

Buffalo!

I love this face!

Mark rowing my Dad down the river

My parents watched Sean so Mark, Claire and I could go down the slow river together.
This is Mark pulling us over some shallow water. The water was Freezing.


Claire liked to help row

Grandmas, cherrys, ducks!

Sean and his great Grandma Mary

Claire's growing duck collection. The big duck on the right was given to her by my sweet brother Kevin. Claire calls it, "New Ducky". The medium duck on the left was a gift from her Grandma and Grandpa Hamblin for her birthday. He has been named, "Big Ducky." "Ducky" Ducky is in the center and is still the center of her life. This girl loves her ducks!

Claire likes to chase ducks.

It's cherry picking time!!!


The cherrys on our tree are ready to be picked and eaten. They are delicious. I think fruit is pretty so I took lots of pictures.

This girl might be trouble!

Ward 5K/Sean-five months


The annual ward 5K was on Saturday morning. Mark pushed the kids in our double stroller. We had fun visiting with the other "walkers" and came in third to last place!


Sean is five months! Where does the time go......
He continues to be the sweetest, happiest little guy. We love him!

Backyard photo shoot





The kids and I played outside while Mark did yard work on Saturday afternoon. I took the opportunity to take some super cute pictures.

Fleetwood Mac Concert

Mark took a picture of me at midnight when we got home.

The concert was AMAZING!!! I loved every minute of it. It's was worth every penny and every minute away from my sweet kids. They didn't sell enough tickets to fill all the seats so our $50 nose bleed tickets were traded in for close to $100 8th row tickets!! They sang all my favorite songs and I got to sing along. I have never seen so much alcohol consumed in my entire life. Apparently people need to be drunk to enjoy Fleetwood Mac. I'm not sure a Mormon Mommy fit in at this event. The music was loud and they rocked hard. My Dad and I loved it. Thanks to my amazing husband for watching the kids for me. Sean wouldn't take his bottle(yikes!) but fortunately slept most the time I was gone. Don't worry Sean, I will never leave you again!

Lots of this........



New panda jammies

Playing with toys

the best smiles ever!

Claire and Sean are roomates now. They wake each other up from time to time but they are always happy to see each other in the morning.
Claire has a new sand table($15 on KSL classifieds). We go outside to play every day. Our backyard is the best.
