Who said women can not drive!

Christmas '08 Alex got a Barbie Jeep from my parents. She was still kind of small to drive so Luke jumped in and drove her around. (Luke loves to drives...anything.) Late this summer Alex jumped into the driver seat and began driving. At first she would struggle because she did not understand holding the gas pedal down, she would pump it. These photos were taken with Miss behind the wheel going high speed in the Barbie Jeep. She wanted to drive her baby around so I said "Lets put her in her car seat so she will be safe". Boy OH Boy!!Then Luke wants to jump in and Alex makes him hold the baby.

She never watches where she is going. Watch out!

The Diva Driver!!

Here is a close up of her and the baby.

And shortly after the last photo, she hit the pole at full speed. I thought that Alex and Chloe (baby) were going to be thrown out of the seats, but they made it.

So if you see a pink jeep headed your way, be on the look out because she is probably not looking at you!!

Happy Birthday Luke!

I can not believe that Luke is already celebrating his 4th birthday! Time seems to be going by faster each year. This year Luke wanted a hotdog party for his birthday. Our original plan was to have a cookout at our house, but that was the beginning of the flood in GA and we ended up moving the party to our church fellowship hall which made things so much easier.

The birthday boy. The theme was Batman. He still loves Cars, but Batman is a close second to Lighting McQueen.

The Batman Cake!

He loved blowing out the candles. Notice dad in top right trying to help him out!



My parents made homemade icecream which was the hit of the party.


On to gifts, he got so much stuff this year. Here he is looking at his new Batman helicopter while Alex swoops in to try to get something for herself.


This shirt is so fitting because he loves outdoors, tractors, trucks, and dirt.


He could barley hold onto his new tractor trailer.


We decided to give in and get Luke a Nintendo DS for his birthday. Kade has one and it is always a fight over who is going to play. Luke has played Kade's alot and is already very good at the games. Here he is opening the last gift. Can you tell he likes it!!

Here are all the kids that made it out to he party!

And you can tell that the photo opportunity was over very quickly!

Happy Birthday Luke!
We love you!!

All-Star

On September 14th Kade had his first baseball game. He was very excited to play even though he does not have that much experience. He played left field that night and had one ball hit to him which he fielded perfectly. His batting that night was awesome!!! He had 2 RBI's, a triple, and a single.

His first time up to bat.


After the game was over, the coach got everyone together for a quick team meeting. He stated that after each game he was going to give the game ball to the player would played the hardest, made a game changing play, or showed great improvement. Kade got the game ball at the first game because of his batting. We were so proud and he was so excited. Here he is showing off his gem!

Go Rockets!!!
