Monkey Lu is 2

Our monkey lu is 2 ! 

Monkey Lu is the nickname I gave him because he really is a monkey and one day the Lu just came out. So now, he is monkey lu.

We love him! He fills our lives with joy and silliness. It is really amazing to have him in our lives. We enjoy his presence and company and the snuggles he shares with us. He is A's best friend and our baby boy. 

We wish him the best for today and always. Happy Birthday sweetie!

We love you from here to the infinite and beyond!:)

Parade and State Fair

So this weekend we were quite busy. We went to the Homecoming Parade and the State Fair. I had never been to the parade, and I have to say that it was quite good and better than what I imagine. 

This last picture I thought it was pretty funny. It came from the Accounting school of UA :)

Later that day we went to the State Fair. This year was in a much better and safer location we thought. They boys got to ride in just a few of the attractions, because everything is else was for older children, that's why we decided to skip a couple of years and take them back when they are old enough to ride the rest. 

Did you notice the last picture of D "crying"? Ha! He was like that everytime we got him out of a ride. Yep, all fake. Kinda.:)

After a fun-filled family day, I, later that night I went out to eat to celebrate one of my friends birthday, just the girls :) It is nice to have just a girls nite even if you just eat, drink and talk the night away don't you think?

Anyway, Sunday was pretty normal. With the exception of a 2 hour nap we all took. Awesome! A quite peaceful nap time that left all of us happy and rested.
That day later in the afternoon the boys and I went to visit Grandad Charlie and Diane while Joe went to work on Kairos. Did I tell you that he is going to be the Leader for this coming Kairos? I'm so proud of him and he is doing a great job.

Once we were back home and the boys had gone to bed, Joe and I sat down to watch the final episode of season four of our favorite t.v. show, Breaking Bad. Have you watched it? It is REALLY good! If you have Netflix, go and add it your queue, BUT watch it from the beginning. Don't cheat. You'll love me forever for telling you to watch it.

Peace and Love

Hello There!

Are you enjoying this beginning of the fall season?

We are! 

Fall is my most favorite season. The weather is perfect to be outside long enough without getting uncomfortable because it is too hot or too cold. I just love it. And it also means, camping season! 

Anyway, we've been spending a lot of time in the park and who wouldn't with this weather.

We had a lovely visit over the weekend and the boys and baby girl had a great time playing, chasing each other, screaming, and playing hide and seek. I wish we had taken a picture of the three of them counting against the wall. I did get some pics with my phone, and I kind of like the blurriness/motion of them.

They really had a great time and so did I and my friend Jayma. I love her because she is one of those women whom you can talk to about soulful stuff and really just about anything. 

Anyway, so Alabama won the football game on Saturday! Roll Tide! Do you think we can go undefeated this season? I hope so! 

Well, so I thought I would pop up and say hello. We hope everyone is doing really well. 

Peace and Love
