Luke's first video game!

Luke was supposed to start a Mommy & Me preschool class this morning but because Aunt Dara & Mommy were the only ones who signed up for the 10:45 class we had to join the 9:00. This left us with time for lunch & since we were already in Los Gatos we met Daddy! While we waited for our food Daddy gave Luke his first video game experience. He had no idea that he wasn't playing...he loved it anyway!

Haircuts

We've shared our haircut pictures before but we had to post these latest ones. They are too cute!



Maddie really not wanting her picture taken (she thinks that the minute I take the picture I will make her leave the kids hair salon with all the fun toys :-)



My handsome man!!


You can kind of see Maddie's cute new bob

Paige Turns 2-years old!

Yesterday was our best friend Paige's birthday party at My Gym in Palo Alto. We had such a fantastic time running, jumping, climbing, dancing & even riding the zip line! Happy Birthday Paige!

Luke LOVING the ball pit





A few videos...Luke sliding down the slide (head first :-), Maddie & Paige dancing & BUBBLES!!! Luke loved the bubbles & he even danced a little :-)

Pump It Up!

A little late in posting this but Wednesday Madison, Luke & Mommy went to Pump It Up Jr. in Sunnyvale with our friends Brigit, Elizabeth, Amy, Nathan & Audrey. It was such a blast! It was a room full of inflatable playgrounds.

Luke was a little unsure about the jump houses but he loved the cars they had


It was hard to get an action shot of Maddie & Elizabeth they were moving so quickly

Luke loving the balls, of course



The slide was probably the hit of the day. Elizabeth, Madison & Brigit taking a ride.

Sunday Football With The Sanchez Triplets

Our friends Dave & Cristin (& their triplets...Ava, Sophia & Tres) just moved into a gorgeous new house in Danville & they invited us over for some playoff football. The triplets had a playroom specifically for them so we had a GREAT time!

Ava, Sophie & Luke peaking through the back saying "cheese!"

Madison riding the horsey

Tres looking at Luke probably thinking, "WHAT are you doing??" Luke was testing out his new walking skills :-)

Lunch time!

Maddie & the girls (Sophia-L & Ava-R)

Cristin & her little man - David Joseph III (Tres)

The girls piling on top of Jenn

Mommy, why can't we have one of these??

The kids loved the fact that there were play structures inside. It was definitely a treat for them :-)

SFHS Mother/Daughter Brunch

This post has nothing to do with Madison & Luke but I am going to use their blog. My high school girlfriends were teasing me about being a blogger (but at least they admitted to being faithful readers :-) so I have to post some pictures of them on here. Yesterday Nancy Redding & Megan (Redding) Allen hosted a Lancer Mother-Daughter brunch! It was such a great afternoon! Ashley's little girl, Reese, was the only baby there so of course she was the focus of most of the pictures...

Luke is walking!

Our sweet little boy is walking! He started to take a few steps about a week ago but he's starting to get the hang of it! We got a little on video of him walking back & forth between Mommy & Auntie Dara...

December 2007 & Year End Re-cap

We had a wonderful December & a fantastic 2007! Madison celebrated her 2nd birthday & Luke celebrated his 1st birthday. Our good friends Ashley & Noah Temple had beautiful baby girl Reese and Ryan & Kim Carter had triplet boys...Andrew, Danny & Dylan!! We attended countless birthday parties for our little & big friends, Luke-man was baptized, Madison started preschool & the real highlight...Uncle Jason & Aunt Jill got married! What a perfect year :-) I posted a link to all of the kids pictures taken in December. Here are a few great ones that haven't been on the blog yet...

Madison's new favorite accessories...her hat & mittens. She wears them while she brushes her teeth...

...and also while she naps

Luke-man is finally big enough to ride in the car attached to the grocery cart! No more baby seat for him :-)

Happy New Year!

Maddie & Luke celebrated a "New York New Year's" and were awake until almost 9:30! What shocked us the most was that they didn't meltdown earlier as is usually the case. Unfortunately we don't have many photos of the nights festivities (we went to our friends the Florio's house & had dinner & drinks with some of our old friends from San Francisco.) Mommy used her new camera to take a video of Paige & Madison dancing & it ate up the whole memory card! We definitely need to add some MB's :-)

Luke & Paige...Luke getting very good at saying "cheese" for the camera

Another "cheese" from Luke-man

Paige, Madison & Luke snacking on goldfish before the guests arrive

Paige & Madison dancing...excuse my shrill voice & dorky laugh :-)
