Happy Birthday Daddy

The 3rd of this month marked my Dad's 70th birthday.  My Mom and I decided to give him a surprise party, but because of his busy schedule, we had to wait until last Saturday to have the party.  When I was growing up, he was always saying that the WHOLE month of February was his birthday so I guess we just added fuel to that fire.  I think he was really surprised.  There were more than 50 family and friends there.  Wow!  I was so happy with the turn out.  My in laws came as well as my aunts and uncles, numerous cousins, neighbors, and lots of friends of my Dad's.  There are too many to name them all!  Some traveled a long way just to share this special moment with my Dad.  Thank you all!  I enjoyed the party with everyone and I am so glad he had fun.  Nothing makes me happier. :0)  Luke even had a good time hanging out with everyone.  He was held by everyone at the party pretty much and Blake loved to play with Keagan.  Keagan loved Blake's light up shoes so Blake loved entertaining him with them even after Keagan had lost interest. hehehe 


I think he looks surprised. :-)

See.  This is the picture that shows Keagan has lost interest, but Blake just wants to make him giggle again. :0)

And here is baby Luke in his carseat ready to go home.  He was partied out!

Scooter Junior

As a child, Scott's nickname was Scooter.  We now have a Scooter of our own.  Luke can scoot across the floor already at 3 1/2 months!  He is so funny when he does it.  It is hard to believe.  Last week, he even rolled from his back to his tummy.  He is so mobile!  Here are some pics of the process. 


And after a couple of minutes.  I never let him get far.  I am afraid he will start crawling or something!

The cutest boys in the world!

We had the boys pictures taken the last week in January.  They are so cute so I had to share. Their Godmother Krystal bought the orange polo outfits for Christmas and my cousins, Robin and Sami, sent me the other 'western' outfit for Luke.  Both were SO cute!  Blake was so funny!  He had the photographer laughing SO hard.  She said she had never had a kid like Blake before.  He was creating HIS OWN poses!  hehehe  I love that he has such a personality and I bet Luke will be right behind him soon. :-)



To the zoo we went!

This post is a little late.  We went to the zoo one Friday when the weather was actually wonderful with some of our best friends.  We had told Blake that we would take him the week we had Luke, but Luke surprised us so we had to wait.  We had a great time and it was a bonus that the Tungcabs got to go too.  Brandon and Blake have been best buds since before they were born. hehehe  (Brandon, Lauren, and Blake are in the top pic)  We went to the Dallas Zoo which we had never taken Blake to so he got to see something new.  We also went on a day that NO ONE was really there.  I have never seen a zoo SO empty!  It was great.  We were able to do whatever we wanted.  Blake ran and ran and ran with Brandon and Lauren.  He slept so great that night and Luke loved being outdoors.  Luke loves being outside and since it is winter, he doesn't get that much of a chance. :-)  Here are some pics from the zoo.
If I would have been just a little faster, you would see the penguin and Blake looking right at each other!!!


Luke enjoying a ride through the zoo. :-)

Luke is already three months!

I cannot believe that Luke is already three months.  Time is flying so much faster with the second one.  I have to tell you about some of the things he is doing.  He is such a chatty baby.  I have strangers comment on how vocal he is.  He coos and talks back like he is trying to say so much.  He rolls over which you already know and he scoots to get to around some.  If I lay him on the activity mat my cousin lent us, he will move around to get to his favorite toy on that mat!  My friend Lisa was just telling me today that his legs never stop. (Well.  At least when it's an awake period. hehehe)  He is just getting so active during his awake times.  I don't remember Blake being like this.  Blake was a great sleeper at 6 weeks old even he slept through the night.  Not Luke but I knew lightening probably wouldn't strike twice. :-)  He loves his big brother.  We were getting ready today to go to The Tungcab house to visit our good friends and Luke was on the bed.  I turned around and Blake was talking to him.  Luke loves it when big brother talks to him so I continued to get ready and keep an eye on them.  I turned around and Blake was holding Luke up to put him in his bumbo seat!  It shocked me because Blake has NEVER done that before.  I knew it was a matter of time before it happened, but I kind of giggled instead of getting mad.  Most likely I didn't get mad because Blake was doing a good job.  He was supporting his head and everything.  He immediately placed him back down on the bed gently when I told him to.  What a great big brother!  How time flies!  Wasn't Blake just that size???  :-(  Momma's hold your babies tightly.  They grow way too fast!!!

As I posted this picture, I am realizing that a lot of Luke's pics are on this mat.  Probably because he loves it SO much!  Thanks Sean and Dana for lending it to us!
