Part of Luke's 3rd Birthday!

Luke is really into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and was very excited about this gift.
Luke turned 3 this week. I can't believe he is already 3!! He really is such a sweet, caring brother and son. He has grown up so much this past year. His speech has taken off (there is hardly a time that he is not talking and gets mad when I talk to other people and not him!), he loves to sing now, he is so independent, and he watches out for his baby brother. He fills the day with laughter and happiness (although he does have a little attitude that shines through every so often). He is very busy and is always thinking.

The other day I was putting Grant to bed and Luke was downstairs with my Mom. My Mom was working on grading some papers so she was pretty preoccupied. They were in the dining room where Luke was eating some goldfish. He kept telling her about the cat, but she was not totally focused on what he was saying. I came downstairs a few minutes later and found the cat COVERED in goldfish and crumbs. I asked Luke what he was doing and he said he was putting Lucy's (the cat) Halloween costume on her. I asked him what she was supposed to be and he said a dragon! It was the funniest and cutest thing ever!! I love my little boy so much.

For his birthday he wanted to go to the movie theater and bowling. We saw Horton hears a Who, which was pretty cute. Then we went bowling, which Luke had never done, but for some reason was very excited about doing! He scored a 54, which I thought was awesome for such a little man. He spent the day with his cousins and aunts. Later that evening Grammy came home with lots of presents and a huge arrangement of ballons for the birthday boy. We had a small party with my Mom and just our little family. We are having his real birthday party in a couple weeks when we celebrate Grant's as well.

Here are a few pictures of us bowling. My camera's memory cards were full, so my Mom took pictures that I need to get. Happy Birthday, Luke!
