Happy 3rd Birthday Luke! We love you!

We enjoy playing outside, a lot! Since I am trying my very best to potty train Luke I thought it would be a great idea to have picnic and play outside in his underwear! Well, I think he likes going commando better!!! Just remember to not drink the water!

Watch me Grow Easter Pics of Luke

Here is how much our Bubba has grown over the past 3 Easters.

My first attempt at Bloggin'

Hello friends! Mark has handed the reins over to me so get ready for family updates and kids pics. (Sorry for those of you who visit for deep theological reasons!:) It's just not my style!)

Things are going great at the Bass Home. Here's the run down...
Luke is growing so fast. He is now talking in sentences, repeating absolutely EVERYTHING he hears, carries a stool with him everywhere he goes so he can get those little GO-GO Gadget arms into everything that is out of his reach, he still loves golf and anything to do with balls, cars, or SNORTS (for those of you who have never read Are You My Mother- a snort is a big backhoe digger), he loves kissing on Sarah, playing with his best friend Juliana, going to Mother's Day out and to Walmart. We just painted his room and are in the process of decorating it with balls. For any of you who have not had the pleasure of having a 2 year old...everything is fun, joyful, and busy..busy...busy:)

Video of Luke and Juliana

Here's a video that Becca made of Luke and Juliana playing together a few weeks ago.

Our Kids Are Cute...

Okay, so I've not exactly got an objective opinion about this. Check it out.















Luke got a golf set for his birthday last month. He's actually pretty good. I'll be carrying his bag one day.


























Sarah is doing great. Moving on towards 2 months.

Things Kids Say 2

This morning Luke woke up asking where Sarah was. He was concerned about her.

So Emily asked Luke back, "Where is Sarah?"

Luke's response, "In the car." We got in late last night so I guess he thought we left her in the car.

I asked Luke, "What should we do?"

Luke's response, "Get her."

It really is awesome that he loves her. He is very good to her with the exception of an occasional hit.

Luke's 2nd Birthday and New Sarah Pics

Luke turns 2 on September 19th. It's been a good two years for him. He is a fantastic big brother to Sarah. Here's some recent pics of Luke.

Luke loves bulldozers and backhoes. He loves digging the dirt and pushing the dirt. Sarah got him a yellow and orange "snort" (that's what Luke calls a backhoe) as a present when he came to visit her at the hospital. It's been the best toy he's ever had. He won't put it down.








































This is Sarah's room...














...and her bed...




























Playing peek-a-boo...

Welcome Sarah

SHE'S HERE!!!! Sarah was born on Monday morning. Here's a video. Enjoy...

First Day of Preschool...

I can't believe this is happening already. We started Luke in a preschool/"mother's day out" this week. It meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am - 2pm. The teacher said he did really good from 8-12 and then had a major breakdown from 12-2. Anywho...here's some pics from the first day. Enjoy.

I loved the lighting on this picture (click for bigger image).

Luke Pic

I think this is the one of the best Luke pictures Emily has ever taken...


This was at the beginning of 2006 when he was only a few months old.

Like Father, Like Son (100th Post)

I'm celebrating my 100th post with a couple of pictures from a swim party earlier this summer. Can you see the resemblance? Who looks like who?

Things Kids Say

Luke is really starting to talk and be able to understand what we are saying...to a degree. Today was our long trip back from Orlando. (good vacation)

Emily asked Luke while we were riding, "Are you awake?"

Luke's answer, "No."

I asked Luke, "Do you know what 'awake' means?"

Luke's answer, "No."

Luke, Balls, and Water

Luke has always had a love for balls and water. Well he really went crazy yesterday. We played mini golf. The lady at the desk told us to take some extra balls with us. I guess she had seen her share of parents have to come back for extra balls after their kid chunked it in the water. Well...she was more than right. Em and I made 3 or 4 saves and Luke actually got 2 tossed in the water.

Yesterday afternoon when we were at the pool Luke decided to take up his hobby again. There is a small lake right next to the pool we were swimming at. Luke decided he needed to toss a ball in that lake also...only we didn't take a ball to the pool. So Luke grabbed another kid's ball, ran to the rail, and chunked it over. Nice touch.

This is Hilarious...

I said in the previous post that Emily had been sick for a while...that included a lot of throwing up. During the daytime when I was at work Luke would follow Emily into the bathroom and watch her throw up. So the other day Luke and I were in the bathroom and he walks over to the toilet, bends over, makes a big throw up sound, and then looks up at me and laughs.

We can now ask Luke, "What does mommy do when she gets sick?" and in response Luke will look at you and make the throw up sound. Yes...our son now walks around the house making a pukeing noise.

Don't ever believe that your kids aren't learning as they watch you.

Luke's Stunt...

Yesterday Emily was in our bedroom cleaning up for a few minutes and she thought after a few minutes that she hadn't heard Luke doing anything (usually he makes a lot of strange noises as he plays). She found him sitting on the kitchen table eating cake (all over his face) and holding a kitchen knife in one hand.

We had no clue he had the ability to climb up on the kitchen table.

I think life's about to get interesting.

More Luke pics coming soon!!!
