Luke's word of the day

Cereal monster, Luke's term for a serial killer. Aren't kids funny?!

Luke's phrase and word for the weekend

As we were leaving the ball field on Saturday, Luke said, "Let's make our way to Nana's!" Then later he asked if we were in Nana's world yet.

Laugh-tiverty = (we have no idea what this means!)

Luke's word of the day

Joel and I were discussing a topic of the day while riding along in the van. When we were through, Luke replied, "Astonishing!"

Luke's phrase of the day

Our Lukers is a 5 1/2 year old sponge. He remembers all sorts of phrases and words that he hears. He really enjoys vocabulary and he uses it in the correct context. However, he doesn't always get it right, but that's the best part. I try to write them all down because it's so funny I want to always remember what he said. Here's a cute picture of him with Grandma Nora's cat. Oh wait! The cat left, but Luke was still posing for the picture so I took it. Then he looked down and wondered where the cat had gone. It still makes me laugh....

Luke's phrase for today is:

"You stretch me out people!"

What he was trying to say was that we 'stress' him out. Close enough!

Last week he said, "on your mark, except, go!"

I'll try to add new ones as he says them!

Heros are in disguise

I received an email from my Aunt Debbie today. It was very inspiring, as most military related stories are. However, this one had a catchy little phrase attached to the bottom. It exactly fit with how I've been feeling lately towards all the people complaining about our presence in the middle East. I take it personally! My brother has risked his life and his family has sacrifice having him away for months and years at a time so that these people have a right to complain. I couldn't be more proud of him. I sleep safe at night, I go to church, I have so many rights because of his and other's sacrifices. The story was about an old man with car trouble. So many of us would see him as just an old man. However, he was a war hero who just happened to live in an old man's body. His younger 'brothers' rallied around him to help. If you love your freedom, thank a soldier or a veteran won't you? And finally for the quote, "If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!"

Luke's first game

Our little Cardinal did a fantastic job in his first ever baseball game. I didn't realize, until Joel told me this evening, that Luke is playing Tiger ball, not t-ball as Liam did. In Tiger ball they actually keep score and pitch the ball to the kids. Luke hit most of the time with out the tee. Many of the other kids needed it. After the game, which they won, he wanted to go out in the yard and play catch with Daddy. You'll notice his shirt is a bit large for him. Most of the other kids were ordering mediums and seeing that there were no examples to show the sizing, we just went along with everyone else. Needless to say, we should have gotten him the extra small....
