Happy 7th Anniversary to my sweetie! (May 4th)

I can't believe it has been 7 years ago yesterday that Robert and I got married. I thought I would post a couple of pictures for the fun of it. Boy did we look young or what?! We been through a lot since that day, all the ups and downs of life, but there is no one that I would rather go through them with than you. I love you Robby, and I hope we have many more anniversaries together ahead of us!

I always loved this picture of the rice in mid air as it was thrown at us!

We weren't even of legal drinking age, haha!

Luke had a Sesame Street themed birthday party on Saturday the 18th! He had a great time, and had lots of family over for his party! We tried to get a picture of Luke with most everyone that came to his party, but I did miss a few people =( Here are some random photos from his birthday party! There is also a picture of the cake that we had Schnuck's make at the last second, as my attempt at a Cookie Monster cake, was in vain.

Pictures from April 13th Luke's Birthday!

Luke had a great 2nd birthday! Daddy took the day off of work so we could enjoy the day with Luke! We took him shopping for a toy with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Barger's birthday money at Toys R Us, he picked out a doll house! We also took him out to eat, and to Papa Steve's office to say hi! The Children's Museum was closed on Monday's so we are going to take him there another time! We ran out to get a quick dinner and came back to find that Max had eaten the WHOLE container of chocolate cupcakes! Thankfully Papa Steve and Mammi Kay had some left over from Easter. Luke liked them just the same! All in all it was a very fun day!

You make us laugh all the time with the funny things you say! Your laugh and chunky cheeked smile are infectious! So happy birthday little guy, We love you, and are so proud of you!
I am going to post pictures, and tell more about his big day tonight!

Luck of the Irish to ya!

Luke wants to wish the luck of the Irish to you! Here is playing at the park today in his shirt that Papa Steve and Grandma Kay brought back from Ireland! He wasn't having much to do with having his picture taken!

Weekend fun!

This weekend was a good one! Friday night Rob took Luke and I out to celebrate his new job, we went to Outback to eat, to the mall, and to get ice cream at Dairy Queen. Saturday I worked 8-5 which was nice, because I love having the evenings off. Sundway we went to Tuscola to see Rob's grandparents Jack and Millie. Millie had recently had a part of her lung removed and been in the hospital, Rob was able to go visit her then, but Luke and I were not. So we decided to head down there to see them! We had a great visit! We are so happy to see Millie is doing so well! We ate lunch at the Red Barn, and Luke loved it! He ran around for quite a while after we ate in the indoor area there. Oh to have as much energy as he does! We then went and visted at their house for a while, and watch some of the Illini game. Then before we left town we stopped at OshKosh to get Luke a lot of spring clothes for his birthday! They had so much cute stuff, and a lot of great deals! It was a great weekend with my family!

Luke was a tired boy heading home yesterday, with the Big Bird we found at the Red Barn in his arms, and his Elmo sunglasses he puts on top of his head like Daddy! awww!

"Pee Pee Mommy, Pee Pee"

This week has been a good one. Rob has been settling in to his new job, and really enjoying it! Luke and I went to visit Aunt Melissa and Coco on Tuesday, which was a great time! How can you beat eating Taco John's, and visiting with your sister? Luke and I were also able to go visit my old workplace at State Farm the other day to see my mom, and all of my old co-workers! I really miss everyone there still, and it sure was a sight for sore eyes to see them all!
In Luke news this week, Luke has been potty training himself for the past week and a half or so. He places his hands in front of himself and dances around and says "Pee Pee Mommy, pee pee" and runs for the bathroom! He likes to have privacy and so I shut the bathroom door and wait outside, and sure enough he will have gone to the potty everytime! Which allows him to give a high five to his Elmo potty, flush the actual toliet and get a sticker! We make a big production, and he is SO proud! Now he is working on going #2 in the toliet. Of course we have had to move to pull-ups or easy up diapers as it was taking too long to undo diapers each time he had to pee! He is able to stay dry all day, only going #2 in his diaper now! If he starts to go #2 in the potty, he will move to his ultimate goal of his Sesame Street underwear, which he is very excited about! I potty trained at around 21 months (he is 22), so I wasn't suprised when he wanted to do it too. He seems to take after mommy alot with his development.
I hope you all have had a great week, and I will post pictures next time!
