Luke Makes 4!

4 years ago before going to the hospital I looked like this (yikes!) Luke was our first Texas born. He definitely brings much joy into our home. Luke was the only one delivered by his dad. I often say he is the comic relief of all our kids. He has a mind of his own and if it isn't his way, it's the highway! He is our authoritarian and makes sure we all are following the rules. Nothing gets past that kid! Here are some fun photos I have found and love about Luke.......


He loves to play with his daddy.

He loves adventure and to be outdoors.

He wanted to be buzz when he was 2 years old and still LOVES buzz.
I guess somethings never change.

He's good at this......

And this.


He is our camera ham and loves to pose for photos.

He loves to build with anything, legos, lincoln logs and dominoes.

He is the middle one with spunk!
And really looks up to his older siblings.

He doesn't like loud noises (or fireworks)

His brother and him are somedays best buds and others not.
They are only 21 months apart.

He loves cars and will play them for hours.

At school he told everyone he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up.

He has a birthmark on his head, it's a blonde patch.
Many think he has a bald spot or I colored his hair.


He was our earliest to be potty trained 2 years 3 months.......come on Weston :)

His best girl is Maryn

He has a "devil" smile with great dimples.

He loves to give Weston zurburts on his tummy

It never fails each night before bed, he has to read a story, have his flashlight
and he wants you to rub his back "this many times" with his hands up.

This is the blanket I made him when he was born.
I think it has gotten a lot of love. He has to sleep with it EVERY night.

His favorite color is green (and apparently likes to wear it)

He is always the first one to fall asleep.
And is so good about staying in bed when he is told.


Yesterday he was 3, and now he is 4! We love you Luke and especially the personality and life you bring into our home. Happy 4th Birthday Lukie!

This has been Luke's song since he was a few days old.
We replaced the lyrics from Superman to "Luke Ryan"

Special worn out blankets are the best! It took me years to get rid of mine (it looked way worse than his). Luke is darling and I love all the photos you posted too!

Happy Birthday Luke! Your tummy was so cute! Prego tummies are the best as far as I am concerned.

Happy Birthday Wukie!! I hope your day is as special as you are. I still think you are to little to be 4!

I forgot how big your tummy was. That's one amazing tummy and it didn't even get stretch marks. WOW!

It sounds as though your Luke and my Seth would get along swimmingly well. Seth's a builder/car guy, too.

Rachel said...

Icannot believe how much your Luke has in common with my Luke! Seriously! The loud noises, the building things and tkaing them apart, the ham with the camera, the dimples...it cracks me up! Very cute pictures! And I love his birthday quilt!
