Where Is He?????

We had one of those experiences that you go through life and after it makes you stop to think what you have and are grateful those around you!!!

It was after dinner on a Monday, when I had one of those feelings of, "WHERE'S LUKE"...we started calmly yelling for him and looking in odd places..after about 10 min. and he is no where to be found, we start frantically YELLING and LOOKING for him, how could he just vanish. Rylee was in absolute hysteria screaming and sobbing yelling for him. Morgan went outside and was looking out front of the house yelling and crying for him. Joslyn was following me around as I am rechecking closets and bathtubs, every little nook and cranny in the home...she was talking through the feelings, "Mom why would Luke leave us, we love him, why would he leave, we are nice........" on and on and on....Finally after no signs in the house, I jump in the car and check the park across the street. There happened to a cop in the neighborhood so, he took his description and said, "he would keep his eye out".....I get a call from Boomer to come home, he said, "We found Luke, he is fine, just come home"...and this is what I saw:

So, obviously we need to look lower and in the kitchen...he was doing dishes and obviously got tired. We now know he is a true Smith, when we can be SCREAMING his name and he just sleeps on. Boomer and I stood there with tears streaming down our cheeks, grateful he was safe. I scooped him up and put him in his PJ's and put him safe and sound in his bed.

Tee Up

Luke has learned the excitement of a tee. He says to me, "Mom, I goin' outside to tee up." He takes his little club, tee and balls and tee's up. 

He is getting pretty good!!

BONDING, I think?!?!?

Is this bonding??? A little time back to back watching 2 different I-pads and 2 different shows. They sat like this for awhile, giggling at each other and throwing an elbow every now and then. So, funny!!!

The Dramatic Fall

Luke's new fun thing is GUNS...anything and everything is a gun. The preferred gun is a golf grip (for non golfers, the rubber tip on the golf club shaft that you hold on to, Boomer has a drawer of these to put on shafts if needed), Luke uses these all day has guns or swords. He has gotten to be a good little dramatic faller when he gets shot....I couldn't decide which video to post so, here are 2 of my favorites. So, funny!!

LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!

My Mom is updating her GRAND KID wall, and needed some updated picture!! So, Luke was first up for a photo shoot...

He is so sticken' cute, if I do say so myself :0).....ENJOY!!!!! 

The other kids will becoming soon......

It's A BOY Thing!!!

This is what happens when you fall down the stairs holding a stick, while trying to get the BAD guys!!! His first face burn...

Just funny pictures of Luke playing in my bathroom drawer....

Yes, because this is were the deodorant goes....goofy boy!!

More Golfing.....

 You know the one advantage of moving into a bigger place, we don't have the furniture to fill it up, yet. So, we split up our couches and put one in the family room and one in the living. Which makes for  A LOT of room to run around and GOLF. 

What happens when you run out of golf balls.....

you just look under the couch!!

Here is another video of Luke golfing...

GOLF, GOLF, GOLF!!

The average day at our house. Boomer works from home, so when he needs to take a break he putts around the house. So, Luke follows his Daddy, putting around the room. They start with a pile of golf balls and hit them from one side of the room to the other. 

I know this is going to back fire on us later, this kid has got a swing. (I hope the landlords don't read this post ;o) )!! No damages, just yet!!

Here is a video of what Luke does most the day.

The bottom left corner, is what happens when you start to tickle Mom, the kids took over and attacked Dad....

Here is the next Phil Mickelson.....

We went and saw Boomer at one of his Demo days at a local golf course the other day. For those who don't know what a Demo day is, it is when Boomer shows up with all of the different golf clubs that Callaway sells. He sets up a tent, and you can come and demo the clubs right there. After you can order the clubs or go to the club house and buy them.

When we showed up, Luke was in awe watching these men and woman hitting the clubs. He watched for a little bit, then went over to Boomer's car and got some balls out and went over to the clubs, grabbed a club and set up his balls on the driving range. This club was double his side, but he got a hold of a few balls. He was in heaven. It was so funny watching him drag around that club whacking the balls. He is hooked!!

LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!

This is said "LLLLLLLUUUUUUUKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE", multiple times a day. Where is your brother? Get off that? How did you get up there? Why is there water all over the floors? Why did you finger paint on the mirror with lotion AGAIN???? What is all over your hair??? SERIOUSLY????

Luke is a climber, he can get on any surface of my house by HIMSELF. If he can't climb himself, he gets a chair, a stool whatever it takes, he will get up on top.


The other day, I needed to air out my kitchen (no, I didn't burn dinner, DAD) the flame went out in my burner and it smelled like gas. Anyway, I left one window crack (screen on) and another window that does not have a screen pushed open by my kitchen sink. Luke was happily eating, so I ran upstairs to put some towels away. I was gone less than a minute. I came downstairs to THIS............

He had climbed on the counter and climbed right out the window. Thank goodness there is a foot long shelf outside the window, other wise it is a 5 foot drop. I grabbed my camera (I know first things first)....I walked outside and he immediately was trying to change the subject of what he just did..."Mom, look birds, sky, FLOWERS..pretty". He didn't want to get down, he sat there with his feet hanging over the ledge sitting in heaven.
We now found the screen for the window and know not to leave them open without one. Silly me.

Spring Days

We are starting to go to different parks and getting to know the area. We found a really fun park with a ton of grass. We spent a fun afternoon playing soccer and rolling down hills.

Luke loved kicking his ball around in the sun. He would NOT let anyone touch the ball, he had some pretty cool moves ;o)

Our Sweet Little Guy is TWO!!!

We had a fun few days celebrating LuKe'S 2Nd BiRtHDaY . It was a really fun birthday. He is at the perfect age and was so excited about all of his "BOY" toys. This poor house has so much PINK in it, it was fun to buy trucks, trains and basketball hoops!! I don't know if Luke or Boomer were more excited about all the fun new "BOY" toys!!

Luke had A LOT of help from his sister's opening presents!! We were traveling to Utah for Luke's birthday, so we celebrated it on the Saturday 

before his actual birthday!!

(click to enlarge picture)

We were still traveling on Luke's birthday driving to Utah, so that night we had a quick celebration with cake and ice cream for his birthday.

Thanks to everyone that sent cards, money and 

many, many birthday wishes. It was a very fun day.

SeRiOuSlY......

Moving could be so much easier, if ever time I turned around my son was not climbing on things, unpacking everything I just packed . I was using the dolly and left the room for a few seconds and came back to my son on the very top of the dolly rocking it back and forth. He had the biggest smile on his face. Goodness, this is going to be a long few weeks ;o)
