The Lukers: November 2013

Yes, I know. I'm way behind on the blog. I just decided that I would include all of our October into one post.
First, sweet little Grayson turned a year old! Where the year went, I have no clue! I feel like just yesterday, we were waiting in the hospital for him. Of course, I feel that way about Reese, too and she is five!

SWEET BOY!!

Then, back in the summer, my sisters, Aunt Laura and I had started planning a 50th birthday surprise party for my mom. Yes, we started that early! We got everything together, sent invites, got her an AWESOME cake, and planned our trip home. She had no clue. She kept asking when we were going to come home again, and I just kept coming up with excuse after excuse. The woman is nothing if not persistent! We drove in on the Friday before the party to Katie's house. We stayed there, then headed down to my grandparents' on Saturday. Aunt Laura had everything pretty much set up. Mom showed up earlier than we had planned for her to, but she was very surprised! We got her good. There was a joke that she would be crying within a minute of getting there, and then we put it on Aunt Laura. We all knew she would cry too, but she vowed she wouldn't. After Jeff, the boys and I popped out of Harv and Bett's house, we look over, and Laura is crying like a baby! Got her too. :) Jeff flew back that Monday, but the boys and I stayed until the next Saturday. My high school's homecoming was Friday so I convinced Katie to go with me to that. We had such a great time at home that week. Harrison is OBSESSED with so many things out there….he had a ball! We got to spend some time with Gigi and Pappy, and Harrison and Taryn got some quality cousin time in.

Katie's first trimester was in full effect, so she took a little nap with Huddy.

The cake!

Jake bought the boys gifts, and Harrison loved his Ironman! He also loved Jake!

The family reunion was that Sunday. These are the cousins, but we missed Melissa and Cody.
It's Jake, Mallory, Katie, Jesie, Jena, Me and KC.

With spouses and Taryn, Harrison and Hayden.

Taryn loves her Uncle Jeff!

Katie, Jesie and I all wore this shirt when we were little. Taryn wore it one night when we were there, and H got to wear it, too!

Katie and I at Excel's game!

Sweet Huddy turned five months in October! He is rolling over everywhere, and getting ready to crawl! He's sleeping through the night and has gotten a lot better with napping! He is such a cuddle bug and I love it!
