Great Idea


Make a one-of-a-kind piece of art by sending in a photograph with color samples to www.allpopart.com. They'll send back a personalized Warhol-esque printed canvas ready for hanging.

Why, It's a Horse, of course!


I often see flashing lights outside our back windows--usually a cop who has pulled over a speeding car--
So when I came home the other night and saw them it didn't really phase me until I looked a little closer...



There was a horse..no, 2 horses!...no, 7 horses! And there were a bunch of cars with their headlights and hazard lights on corralling them in one spot!


Apparently they got out of an open gate at a farm down the road. There are actually lots of farms with cows and horses and other animals around here--it's one of the things I like about Lehi--mixing the old with the new. It will be fun to point out the animals to Luke when he is a little older. ANyWaY...it was quite the sight to see. The people in the cars surrounding them stuck around for an hour and a half after I came home and first saw them--I don't know how long they'd already been there, but I admire them for sticking it out to make sure the animals got saftely returned. The police and the farmer with a horse trailer came to retrieve the animals and get them all home.

Luke is 9 months old

April 17, 2009
Luke is 9 months old!!!


Luke...

Started using a cheesy smile


Had his first 2 really bad colds--back to back! Hates getting his nose wiped. We saw lots of lovely snot bubbles.


Is perfectly happy with a domino and/or a pen in each hand. He will carry them everywhere.




Prefers standing up to sitting down. And is now creeping along furniture and practicing balancing on his knees.


Luke eats a lot of baby food. Loves feeding himself snacks even more


Luke went on his 2nd airplane trip--didn't sleep through this one though. Not.a.chance.

Met all his cousins in Georgia.


He also enjoyed his time with Grandma & Grandpa Brown

and all the new toys to play with

And in Georgia, he had his first experience with furry animals

Luke gets excited for bath time. He gets excited when he sees the towel I get before I carry him to the bath and after bath time he loves watching & listening to the water drain.



Luke turns the pages of the book during bedtime stories. We also have taught him how to
turn off the light switch when asked.


He likes watching out the window when daddy is working outside


his toy collection is growing


He loves this squishy ball



He loves watching the games Daddy plays on the XBOX.

He especially loves when (anybody) feeds him snacks & food.
(This is his cousin, Jack (my side))



He has a hard time keeping his pants on.

We will find out how much he weighs on the 27th.


He often gets tangled up in bubblewrap



Had a great Easter with Grandma & Grandpa Harris



He also cut his 3rd tooth (1st on top) around Easter--although it didn't seem nearly as bad this time so that leaves me hopeful for future teething.

Luke just started babbling like crazy last week. He will "talk" all day long, while he plays, before falling asleep, all the time! It's really cute, and really interesting how he just all of a sudden started talkin. Here is a snippet of what he does, although he has added many more syllables, decibels and "words" since I took this video



And, he has lots of mischief planned for the next few months I'm sure.
