Fall Sports....

Logan is starting soccer and he is so excited about it. He had his first practice today. All day he kept asking when he was going to soccer. I am glad he is so happy to do sports. Hopefully it will stay with him for awhile.Parker is getting so big. Not sure if it is noticeable from the pic or not but just wanted to post it on here too. He now weighs 9.9.

When I was younger....

we used to go to Kansas all the time and visit my dad's grandparents. They lived on a farm and my sister and brother's and I loved going there to play. We would go outside and play all day long until it was time to go to bed. The things I remember most about going there was playing hide-n-seek with the cousins, riding the four-wheelers all around the farm and the pasture, drinking Pepsi (funny I know), holding my great-grandpa's hand, and waking up really early in the morning so we could go outside and play. My great grandparents have since died and we no longer go to the farm, but I have so many wonderful memories of that place.

My parents have a cabin in Grand Lake and I would have to say that the cabin is to my kids what the farm was to me. My kids love going there and we were just there last weekend. Logan was so chatty the hole way there. He could not stop talking and I remembered that feeling all too well. The night we got there, it took him forever to go to sleep and then he woke up at 5:45 in the morning. It is so nice to have a place like this to escape too and be as a family. I do love going there.

Baby Announcement....

Wish we could've sent this to everyone, but here is Parker's baby announcement....

What have the Luck's been up too???

A few weeks ago, Jonathan got laid off from his job-actually it was the week before Parker was born. Not that there is ever good timing for something like that but it sure did make things very stressful right before Parker was born. Needless to say, Parker has been such a huge blessing in our lives right now. We are so thankful for him and his sweet spirit in our home. We are also so thankful for Logan and Kylie and for their-most of the time-sweet spirits as well. They sure love Parker and that is so neat to see. The other day Logan asked Jon if Parker was still gonna be with us when he got a little bit bigger. I thought that was so sweet-it was almost as if he was afraid that he would be with us always. I am sure later on when Parker is getting into Logan's toys, he might have different feelings. Logan and Kylie must kiss him at least 20 times a day. Anyways, this is not to brag about my kids, but just to point out that seeing these sweet moments makes our trail with Jon not having a job so much easier. So Jon is still looking, and I am so proud of him because he is seriously looking non-stop every day. He is such a good man and hard worker. I know he will find something.

So that being said, Jon has been home which has been really nice. I have enjoyed being with him and being able to have someone help with the other 2 kids while I take care of Parker or vice versa. The kids especially like having him around. We were able to go to the park the other day for a picnic and play for awhile.

Kylie swinging-of course-what else is there to do at a park? And since Jon is not working right now, that is when things go wrong. So our Yukon broke down last week and had to be towed to my Dad's shop. Thank goodness he has his own shop and can help us out with the vehicle. Then the other day, with all the rain we have gotten, our ceiling was leaking. So that needed to be fixed. Jon was able to patch it up for pretty cheap so that was nice.
So while Jon was fixing things, I finally worked on a few things in the house. One was this sign I made. I am not very crafty at all, but I liked it and thought I would post it. It is so nice to finally have it up-I have had it forever and not done anything with it. So that is what we have been up too. Nothing too exciting, but it is nice to know at the end of the day, this is what I can be grateful for...
