A 'party' shot...

He's posing again as Greg is lighting the grill...

Of course he has to show everyone what he can do on the swing set...

He wouldn't eat the potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans or jello fruit salad. But he sure ate his hot dog.

Here he is posing with all his gifts...

Oh boy - a dinosaur!!

He loved tearing open the gifts to see what was inside...

Mimi helping him open his presents...

Check out that cool remote controlled CAT loader. Luke is demonstrating how the construction workers wear their pants...

Eating cake and ice cream... I made a homemade Hawaiian Cake.

His new trike - from Mimi.

Big Birthday Weekend - Part 2

On Saturday night, we took Luke to Chuck E. Cheese's for his birthday. Our friends, the Stooksburys, joined us with their 2 children - Kylie and Will. It was our first experience at the C.E.C. and let me just tell you -- it was CrAzY!! The kids had fun, but I think I've had my fill for a very long time. We won't be going back any time soon. Too many kids, too many germs, and the pizza was not even good - overpriced cardboard if you ask me.




This is "The Show"...



Luke got so excited when he saw the big mouse... We were all 'cheesin'



He attempted to play games, but unfortunately didn't know what to do on most of them.




Luke liked the car rides the best.


Whew. We were only there for less than 2 hours, but it completely wore me out!
