Christmas night

Christmas morning

Christmas Eve pics

We didn't get a good pic of Luke with Santa because Luke was squirming and wiggling and trying to get away from him.


Cade left a carrot for each reindeer (apparently they can't share) and cookies for Santa.

Luke driving his car

Cade's new face

This is what Cade has been doing everytime I ask him to do something. Nice.

In daddy's footsteps

Luke had to inspect the plumbing under the sink when we went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City a few weekends ago.

Wrestlemania!

Cade and Luke love to wrestle on the floor. Usually, Cade doesn't want to let his brother win, but this morning he was a good sport.

Luke walking

Long video of Luke

Cade's birthday

Cade was thrilled with Wall-e the movie.


Lukie loved Cade's cake. He loves ANY cake.




Cade's 5th birthday party had a Star Wars theme. He is my mini-me.

Adventures in eating

I really think that eating is Luke's favorite thing to do. He might be a carbon copy of his dad, but he gets that from his mommy!

Tulum pics

These are pics from a Mayan ruin site by Playa del Carmen. We really enjoyed the tour and hearing all about the civilization here. The water, as you can see, was just beautiful.

Day at the park

Yoda

Luke did a little modeling for me in his costume because I didn't get any got shots of him on Halloween.

Fall fun in the backyard

Halloween

Darth Cade at Preschool

We walked for TWO hours trick or treating with Cade's preschool class today. It was a long day, but the kids had a ball.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today.

Birthday boy!

The birthday boy just loved eating his first cupcake (and the second).

Luke's new car

Luke absolutely LOVES this car. He got it for his birthday and he has a ball climbing in and out of it. Mind you, he can't walk, but somehow he can get his rear in this car.

Lookin' like my daddy

I swear he is looking more like Tyler everyday!

Bath time at grandma's

This is a pic of the boys taking a bath at my Grandma and Grandpa Burtin's house in El Dorado.

At the park

Luke wants to go out

Luke has been standing up and yelling at the back door lately. It seems like he thinks that he can just go run out and play!

Wagon time

First trip to the corner ;)

This is what happens when you send Luke to the corner. Just kidding. He had trouble learning how to sit after he was in a standing position. He has that mastered now, but it made for a few great crying movies.

Messy Luke

This is Luke's first attempt at using a spoon. I think his shirt ate more than he did.

Cade's dance class

This is a video of Cade's dance class. The teacher was trying to teach them how to do three step turns. Note how he does it exactly backwards. ;)

Cade's first day of preschool

Here are some silly pics of Cade on his first day of preschool.

Up the Stairs (Part III)

Finally, Luke made it to the top (I bet it took a total for 4 minutes, so you got the abbreviated three-part mini-series of the event).

Up the Stairs (Part II) with growl

This video shows not only Luke's superior athletic ability (hehe), but also his new growl. He growls like this all of the time.

Up the stairs (Part I)

This is the begining of Luke's first trip up the stairs into the kitchen.

Somersault

Cade's new trick

on the move

Luke is now MOBILE!!!

Splish splash!

We put a small baby pool under the deck last weekend. Dukie had a ball splashing around in it.
