I just had to add these two great pictures. Luke and Sonny are 'learning' Spanish here. (actually it is just the only book that we did not mind being ruined so we let Luke play with it =) ) The other picture is little Liam with his adorable smile!! His laugh is so sweet!

Winter time!!

It has taken me a LONG time to update this and I am sorry. I just got a new camera (it was the back up for a professional photographer) and I am learning to use it. I really love the camera- it has some really cool settings. Anyways- here are some updated pictures on the sweet boys. They are both growing so quickly. As Christy and I joke about, Luke's new favorite word (besides "ball") is "no-no." It really makes me laugh because almost every time I tell him we need to change his diaper, he calmly shakes his head and tells me, "no-no." It is really hard not to laugh when he says it so seriously! Liam is moving around SO much! I know that he will be crawling soon and that will be lots of fun. He loves chewing on everything- new teeth are sure to poke through soon. It is so fun to watch him play and grow. Both boys LOVE the outdoors and though we do not go out everyday- I try to take them out a couple of times a week. This season of life has been such a blessing for me. I love watching the boys and I feel like the Lord is teaching me ALOT of valuable lessons for when I have my own children (Lord willing). I thank the Lord so much for this wonderful season of life.

ps- I did not let Luke play with ornaments for more than a minute or two. I just wanted to try and take a cool picture with him and some Christmas stuff. Just incase anyone was worried =)

The Cold Days...

Is this not so stinkin' cute? We had a cold front last week and this was one of the outfits that Liam wore. He was so precious in this outfit (as he always is) and i just wanted to hug him all day! What a cute, warm little boy!

Best Buddies Already!

Luke and Liam get along so well! They really love each other. Liam loves to laugh at Luke and Luke loves to make him laugh. It is amazing to watch. Here I thought we could try some 'posed' pictures. it was a good try, i guess, but the boys were too busy laughing with each other to focus on the camera. oh-well, i think the pictures are cute!

Messy Eaters!!

Messy Eaters!! Liam is now trying big people food and it is so cute! He is messy but it is sure fun to be a part of. Ever since I have known Luke, he has been somewhat of a messy eater- but he enjoys every minute of it. He laughs almost the entire time he is eating. In addition to the laughing, Luke is usually dancing in his high chair because we love to listen to Ross King's new cd. Luke will just laugh and dance anytime there is music! i am pretty sure he is clapping after a song is over- he is just so smart and funny! what fun!

Starbucks!!

Luke and I went to Starkbucks one day while Liam had to go to the doctor with his dad down the road. We had a blast at Starbucks! Luke was so good and since we sat by the door, he would greet each person that entered or left with a HUGE smile and laugh. It was so funny! I think we should send this picture to Starbucks and maybe Luke can become their next advertising model!? Babies and coffee- yea! (i promise i did not really give him coffee!)

Worship at Grace

Every Tuesday, the boys and I go to Grace Fellowship in Katy because they have live worship there. The boys really love the music and it is also refreshing for me. After worship we play with the Helbig kids. The kids all get along really well. It's funny that Summer and Hope love to try and hold Luke when he is almost as big as them! I love Tuesdays!

I absolutely love these pictures! I know these two boys are going to be such great friends. It is so fun to watch them interact. Liam loves when Luke 'talks' to him- it makes his whole countenance full of joy. Luke is becoming more and more gentle with Liam and I know that he understands now that Liam is a real person who definitely does not like Luke's finger in his eye (but does not mind Luke's finger on his nose or even poking his belly)!

Liam is sure growing up fast! He is laughing more every day and really loves when Luke gives him attention. Liam's smile is so huge- it could make anyone's day. What a blessing he is.

The future little Aggie! We spent about 15 minutes trying to get a picture of Luke balancing this duck on his head- it was quite the experience. Luke loved the pop ice that he got to have after our walk. I don't know of any kid that would not love a little sugar water! All in all Luke is just a bundle of joy and fun!

i know some of these turned out a little dark, but I was trying to capture Liam's amazing smile and when the flash was on, the picture really turned out bad. Smiling is so fantastic!! I love talking to Liam and have his face shine with that cute smile! He is very tickle-ish (spelling) and that is so fun too! I feel like Liam gets bigger and smiles more everyday. Even when getting over an ear ache, he still smiles!

Luke is such a character! He is so full of life, joy, and many surprises. He likes using my treadmill as a truck track, he likes using oatmeal as hair gel & he loves using the walker to play his version of hide and seek! Not a moment is dull with Luke! He is so much fun!

little tuckered out!!

(bottom) Luke eating breakfast. He is such a clean little eater =)! He sure makes me smile!

snuggling! He just
attracts all kinds of hugs!!

(bottom) Luke hanging out after a walk. He got to meet a neighbor's little dog- "Fluffy" and I think that made his day. Luke loves to smile! When we were almost home from the walk it started raining... that was an unexpected surprise. Thankfully the stroller had coverings for the boys so only I got wet.

We are halfway through our first week together (the boys and I). I am learning their schedule and learning their personalities. They are both different and similar at the same time and I already love them both. They both love being held and I certainly love holding them. While Luke certainly loves people, he is easy to please and is not dramatic at all- he is very content. Liam is learning to smile now =) which is soooo cute, but he certainly lets you know when he is unhappy (with those lungs I would not be surprised if he becomes a singer one day!). I am learning to multi-task for sure- I can now cook carrots while holding one baby and speaking encouraging words to the other! It is almost like a game to me- how can I multi-task in the most effective way?!! I look forward to having them every morning and I am so thankful for this season of my life. I have been able to help Sonny more with the student ministry and I have had time to keep up with housework. The Lord certainly is a great Father to me- His gifts are so overwhelming!

This is Liam and his older brother Gabriel. Gabe will be in school in the fall so we will not get to see him on a regular basis =( but we sure enjoy any time that we will have with him! Isn't Liam precious?

This is sweet little Luke! He will be one in August. I think he is one of the most joyful babies I have seen! He's not walking yet but it won't be long!!

This is my first blog. In August of this year I am going to start keeping two sweet little boys at my home while their parents work. My main objective in creating this website is to encourage their parents with cute pictures and fun updates while they are off at work. This website is also for family and friends of Luke and Liam. Since I do not have any pictures of the boys yet, this first picture is of me and my sweet husband, Sonny.
