A Day Of Celebrations!!

Today is Grandpa Zettel's 94th Birthday! He looks amazing for 94 and is in good health. We had a fun day hanging out with Great Grandpa . Joshua and Luke loved playing with the big trees on the curb that grandpa planted over 30 years ago.

Happy Birthday

Grandpa!

Say Cheese!

Today Luke is 15 months old and he is so happy all the time. Luke started speech two weeks ago and so far Luke only says gogogogogo because I say that all the time because he's on the move all the time.

Luke has 5 teeth now. Luke follows and does everything Joshua does. Luke loves to play tag with Joshua. Luke also likes to play baseball and to be outside eating dirt. Wouldn't you just kill for those eye lashes.

Luke's First Hair Cut :June 2010

Aunt Joyce got the privilege to cut both Joshua and Luke's hair for the first time. Boy did she have her work cut out for her with Luke. Little boys never sit still, so after about the third cut we gave Luke a lollipop to distract him... it worked for about a second. Luke had some beautiful curly hair that was getting a little out of control. So we said good bye to the curls and hello to my blonde boy.

(Thanks Aunt Joyce) Jeff even let her cut his hair!

All the curls!

I didn't realize Luke had so much hair. After this hair cut Luke was not a little boy anymore it made him look like a toddler now. He also looks just like his Big Brother Joshua. Now I get asked all the time if they are twins.

# TWO

Sorry this is out of order so look at #1 first if you want to.

We were able to visit both sets of grandparents. Here are pictures of us at Grandma and Grandpa Zeman's house. The boys had lots of space to run outside, play in their rocks and to dig in the dirt.

Grandpa Zeman and Luke!

Aunt Joyce's House 2010!!

#One

We're back from our fun vacation. I'm not sure where to start. My wonderful husband drove us to Rimrock, Arizona where my parents live. There my sister Joyce was waiting for us to drive back to her house for some summer fun in New Mexico. We had so much fun we went swimming, we played outside, we went to the Botanical Garden/ Aquarium. Joshua and Luke got to play with there big cousins and had so much fun playing hide and go seek and water guns with them. We also got to celebrate my sisters birthday which was fun. We went to Dion's with the whole family for dinner.  

Luke also got his first haircut from Aunt Joyce.  His curls are gone and his hair is blonde just like J.J.'s.  He looks so grown up with his short hair!

After we spent about 8 days in New Mexico we headed back to Arizona to meet up with Jeff after he had finished working at school. Now in Arizona we got to hang out with both sets of Grandparents for about a week. So all together the kids and I were gone for 3 weeks.

GRANDMA & GRANDPA MaGrath 2010!

# Three

We ended our trip at Jeff's parent's house where Jeff and his brother Kenny worked on their parent's house for a few days and we had some fun too . While we were there, we went to the "World's Oldest Rodeo" in Prescott. Joshua got to go fishing for the first time with his own fishing pole. We went swimming and made grandma Nan's house a mess. We climbed on Grandma's rocks and had so much fun.

Family picture!

Luke loved climbing the rocks!

My cowboy Joshua with his say "cheese" face.

The catfish the boys caught 2 pounds 20 inches long.

Luke liked to play with this cart.

Here is our family picture on a bull at the rodeo!

(Joshua loved this bull, we didn't take home the buckle though.)

More fishing!

The catfish is less scary in the water. It tasted good though.

We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa McGrath. I hope someday you all will get to hear Joshua talk about this trip, it's pretty funny . Joshua's rodeo and fishing story are great for a good laugh.
