Let's back up

I'm coming out of my blog neglect (probably just for today so don't get too excited) and decided I'd take some time to do a new entry, or two.
Guess I should back up to my trip to Pensacola.  The plane ride was not very fun but I think it could have been worse.  Thankfully it wasn't that long.  We had a 30 min. flight to Houston, a short layover, and then the trip from Houston to P'cola was about an hour and a half.  Luke was very squirmy but I could manage him and he didn't scream... too much!  We were in P'cola almost 3 weeks and really enjoyed ourselves.  My parents, both of my brothers, and both sets of my grandparents are all there so it was great spending time with all of them.  
Grant especially enjoyed spending time with Jake and Alli.

Jake making Luke laugh SO hard.  btw, this is the same high chair my brothers and I used as babies.
My brother, Nathan, got to spend a lot of time with the boys and definitely wins uncle of the year.  He is GREAT with them and they boys love him.  Side note.. now that I'm talking about Nathan, I'm thrilled to say that he is now a Daddy!  His daughter, Anna Sophia was born on Monday, the 14th.  I don't have any pictures yet (just on my phone) but I will post as soon I get some.  They are all home now and doing great.  This is my first niece and the boys first cousin!


The boys with Dado (my Dad)

This photo of Grant is not the greatest but I want to remember how balloons were the most popular "toy" of the trip.  Shortly before we left, Luke started to love playing with balls.  When we got to Pensacola my mom had some balloons from a party she recently had.  Luke immediately went crazy over them and they kept him thoroughly entertained the entire trip. Actually, they still do to this day. We have a house full of balls and balloons.  He calls balloons "moons."  I should have gotten a picture with Luke and his "moon" but this was the best I got.


Here's Papaw popping Luke's toes. He used to do that to all of us grandchildren and although it hurts like crazy, we always laughed and wanted him to do it over and over again. I'm so glad my kids get to enjoy their great-grandparents.

Next time bring the boys down to Disney and we can have a playdate! So neat that your boys got to use the same high chair you used as a baby! I don't think my mom kept anything, but if she did, it's in the abyss we call the forgotten basement at Mom and Dad's house!
