Luke's new move...

So we haven't figured out if Luke is trying to be Jackie Chan, a break dancer, or a gymnast but this is what he does when he's excited now. Sometimes it's a full five or six minutes of this action and he will start at one end of the living room and end up at the other. Haha. Check it out.

Other news... Luke and I just got back from another trip to AZ. It really has been our second home this summer! I went to help my sister with some school stuff, and we had tons of fun. Saw my bro play some football, swam a little, and did statistics problems. Woo hoo! We got to see the Smith fam for a little bit, and I went to see one of my best friends sealed to her hubbie. So awesome! Luke wasn't as good on the plane as he usually is on the way home... such a nightmare flying in the middle of the day! I like the early morning flights because he goes back to sleep. Anyway, thank heavens for nice people that don't get upset when the baby next to them crawls all over their lap, throws books at them, and screams for a good half an hour at a time. :) Serously, the lady and her husband that sat next to us were the nicest people ever. Another fun trip, but it's so good to be home... we both missed Jake! A couple pics...

August so far….

Just a few great things about August so far….

1. I get to read the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series! Woo hoo!!! It has just been released and I have been waiting for so long to see what happens between Bella and Edward! I have read Twilight and New Moon this summer… if you haven’t, you should. Very entertaining and addicting if I may say so! I’ll keep ya posted on whether Eclipse is as good as the first two books…

2. Luke has learned his animal sounds, and it is pretty much the cutest thing ever. His version of an elephant is my favorite!… he pretends that his arm is a trunk and flings it up in the air as he makes his elephant noise. Cutie! His version of snake noises is funny too, and he has decided that bees and spiders also make a hissing sound. Anyway, it is very entertaining watching TV or looking at books since he wants to make noises of whatever he sees. Haha. Oh, and he’s learned his body parts and has been saying “O Oh!”… whenever something falls or spills. I love this stage.

3. Just got a book in the mail to start another independent study class! I should be done with school in the spring! FINALLY!!!

4. Our neighbor’s dog barked and cried non-stop in their backyard for a week straight. Luckily for our sanity, the owners just returned, so he’s back in the house where we can’t hear him. I really like dogs… just not listening to them bark ALL the time! haha. Such a relief.

5. Jake is back into the swing of things at school… with patients every day now, so I guess they really are learning stuff! haha. Hopefully this year passes as quickly as the last two!
