Happy Birthday Luke "10"

Happy Birthday Lukeeee!!!!  10 years old...double digits dude!!!

Luke is one awesome kid.  He can sit and play for hours...literally...HOURS...by himself with little tiny action figures.  He has an imagination that just won't quit.  Luke is fun, and thoughtful, and energetic and an athlete and always game to try new things.  

He takes his jobs VERY seriously...he has been water boy for the last couple of years for the Varsity football team and he is as much fun to watch as the players.  He takes his job serious and absolutely feels he is a vital part of the team...EVERY GAME.  He has even traveled with the team before, and had a little car sick problem on the bus....all those big 'ole football players handled it soooo well, it was as if a team member was sick..everyone just pitched in and helped the little guy.

Luke is flexible as anything...we have always nick-named him "Gumby".  So funny to watch him twist like a pretzel.

We love our "Lukey Dukey"!!!!!

We had a fun birthday party yesterday...Charlie and I took him to Jody's, his FAVORITE, for a hamburger, and then he and 3 of his friends and Lashae and Charsie and Kelsie went on a hike at Smith Rock, and then came home to swim and eat pizza and dessert.  Luke has been the typical "middle" child...kind of  flying under the radar these days...with weddings...and pregnancy and adoption...he's the quietest...therefore the easiest to not spend a lot of time and energy on...so we were determined to let this kid have his day, and oh man did he love it...he has very nice buddies and we had a good time.  Totally worth the extra effort to make him feel extra special!!!
