Kyle's Bday

Kyle turned 6 a couple weeks ago. Man alive! He was my baby! Anyway, he wanted a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake, "the red one, mom". So here is my attempt. I have read other blogs and seen other cakes people have made. My cake designing does not even measure up at all. But when Kyle saw it for the first time his whole face lit up. He said it was awesome. And that's all that matters!We went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner. Cody HATES Chuck E. Look at his face when he came near:
So sad, look at him in the bottom corner...still screaming!

Kyle got some tickets and a high 5 for his bday! (Cody still screaming!)

Look at that face! Later in the evening Kyle said "Mom, this is the best birthday ever even though we really didn't have a party!" So sweet! He really was happy all night! A total 180 from last year!

His Presents!

Yay for the Birthday Boy!

Ready to sing!

Nick literally dived into the cake and ate like a little piggy!

He looked up and gave his evil laugh and then dove right back in!

I am so proud of Kyle. I love him so much. He is the biggest helper! But he is also the biggest whiner! But He's my buddy and I love him. He really should only be 3 pr 4 though, not 6!!!

Remembering Grandma

Yesturday was the 7th anniversary of my Grandma Luker's passing. To mark the occasion, we all headed up to the Salt Lake Cemetery to think of her and share stories. My Grandpa, who is 95 years old, was able to make it. It was so sad to how frail and weak he has gotten. It rained a lot and Ty got out our huge umbrella that you can stake into the ground for shade. It was huge and got a lot of comments! I felt the Spirit so strongly while we were there. There were stories of the days before she passed and her experience she was going through. It was so special. And how she still had hewr sense of humor! She said, "Uh oh, it's getting hot in here. I must be going the wrong way!" I feel so bad that I wasn't able to see her those last days. I feel I know her better now though. As we were there, we noticed a eautiful double rainbow. My Grandpa loved to paint so we feel she painted them for us to know she was there. It was a very nice Spiritual experience for me. My sister and I cried our eyes out and hugged. It was very touching. My Grandpa sitting. My anut and uncle behind him. My dad is on the left.
Cousins, Aunts, Uncles...

The group. There are A LOT more Lukers but I guess they couldn't all make it. You can see our huge umbrella in the very back. It's the huge blue one!

Pantry Raid

Cody crawls everywhere and gets into everything! This one day he crawled into the pantry. When I noticed, he looked up and did his little evil laugh and continued to eat a graham cracker he had found.
Here is his Dr. Evil laugh picture!

He does this way funny thing with his mouth where he...he...I just can't even describe it so I took pictures:

He'll do this face when ever. It' sweet!

I love this boy!

Interested?

To all those interested in doing the Quilt Club, you need to go to Sew n Save in Clinton. It's kinda by the KMart, right off Antelope Dr. The colors/fabric is already picked out for you which is kinda nice and bad. It's nice because you don't have to think of what looks good with what and it's bad because if you don't like it, you're out of luck! They have the finished quilt hanging in their shop and I think it's cute! So go and sign up! It would be fun to cheer eachother on!!! And let me know if you do sign up!

Sore Bum

Nick threw up a couple nights ago and the past couple days he's had diarreah. I feel so bad for him! Every time I would need to change his diaper, he would run away from me adn cry saying No! No!. His bum was so red. He wouldn't even lay down, I had to lay him on his side. He just layed on the couch watching Cailou and Toy Story.

Look how his bum is in the air, poor guy!

A Square

My Visiting Teacher (who happens to be my friend, too!) suggested we do a quilting class together. I have never quilted and have always wanted to. So she said she would look into it. We saw each other at a soccer game last week and she told me about this Club that you sign up for. You go in to the store pay $20 and get fabric that's already cut for you and you just follow the directions on where to sew. Then you take your finished square back every 2nd Saturday of the month and get the next squares fabric FREE!!! This goes on for a year. So by the end, you have 12 12x12 fabric squares!!! So neat! So I was really nervous to cut and sew my first square. I am a begginner sewer so my skills are not the best. After more then a few visits with the seam ripper, and some careful slow sewing, I did it! I accomplished something! Yay for me! Here it is...I will update my posts on my progress of this wonderful quilting journey!

Back 2 School

Shawn is in Second grade this year. He did not want to go back to school. He would say it's too boring and it takes up all his time so he can't spend anytime with his family. He just had a bad attitude! But he came home from the first day all excited and happy. He LOVED his teacher and had a lot of fun and a lot of friends in his class. First Day of 2nd Grade
Kyle is going into Kindergarten. He didn't actually go to school that day, it was just a meeting to get to know your teacher and stuff. His first day is next Monday (I can't wait!). He was already dressed and wanted to take pics so I did. He is excited to go to school. He has a great attidude! And he says that he's not shy anymore! He went in for his testing and knew almost all the answers!

So Sweet!

My dad always took these kind of shots, like the one where you pretend like you're walking to school and looking back to wave bye. So I just had to do one!
