We are busy as usual! Last night, Luke had a music program at school. He did a great job! He even picked out his own outfit. He is so cute. :)
Emma Cate has been taking gymnastics since September. Every week, we go through the same routine, and she never wants to try the rope swing. Well, today she got brave enough to try it once. I'm so proud of her!
This is her fake smile:
We had so much fun trick or treating this year! Luke loved getting into character when he was wearing his triceratops costume. He kept roaring at people. :) Emma Cate was such a priss in her butterfly outfit. She kept it on all night. She was an excellant trick or treater, too! We only made it down two streets before Luke was ready to come home and pass out candy. He was so adorable!
I know it's been a long time since I've undated this blog. We have had a very busy summer! A trip to Australia, several trips to Arkansas, swimming lessons, a few birthday parties and lots of playtime with friends.
We had Emma Cate's birthday party a week early this year, and it didn't disappoint. We reserved a local bounce house place that our play group goes to sometimes. I was a little worried that she would be too shy to play, but I was WRONG! She had so much fun playing with her friends. It was awesome!
I'm so happy that Luke loves playing t-ball now. He wasn't too keen on it at the beginning of the season, but now he has a blast. Here are a few pics from a recent game:
We had a great Easter in El Dorado. The kids got to hunt eggs and spend time with lots of cousins. Aunt Johnette threw another amazing Easter Egg Party, and the kids really got into it this year. Our cousin Sydney spent the weekend with us, and she found two prize eggs! It was a lot of fun. :)

This is two weeks late, but I wanted to post photos of Luke's dinosaur birthday party. We had a blast! I still can't believe he's four years old. It has gone by so fast.
Luke's first t-ball game got canceled due to rain, but he wanted to wear his uniform anyway. Very cute!
My cousin Jennifer and I have always joked that her daughter Anna Blaike and my daughter Emma Cate look and act so much alike. Anna Blaike is a big girl now, but I found some pictures from 2005 that looked so much like Emma Cate!
