Luke & Carter's 1st Birthday Party

How is it possible that a year has already gone by?!?!? We had some family and friends over for a little birthday party for our boys this afternoon ... it was a blast!! Before he went to bed, we asked Graham what his favorite party of the party was, and he replied, "Jackson throwing balls at me" ... it was a wild one :) Thanks everyone for coming over to celebrate our precious boys, Luke and Carter!!!!!!

Luke was not so into his cupcake, but Carter definitely was

It was fun making their cake and cupcakes ... I molded green airheads for the peapod and
stuck 2 green skittles inside for the peas

Luke sure got dirty :)

Bedroom Makeover

Kevin and I hadn't done anything to our bedroom since we moved in over 2 years ago and decided it was time. With the help from a fabulous decorator, Rachel Halvorson, and a wonderful contractor, Tony Payne, we couldn't be happier with how our new room has turned out. We LOVE it and smile everytime we walk past it or into it!!

AFTER

p.s. We went in with Kevin's parents to give all of our boys a playset for their birthdays next month ... Graham is already LOVING it!! I used a guy out of Cleveland, TN ... his website is www.hopsfunfactory.com ... I totally recommend him if you are looking for a playset for your backyard. His prices are significantly cheaper than most companies and he is super fast ... he came the week after I ordered it and got to my house at 9 a.m. and was finished by 10:45

No Title Necessary

This is a daily occurence at the Geshke house and it NEVER ceases to make me laugh :) ENJOY!!!!!

SOOOO big

I really can't get over how big my boys have gotten!!!! They are almost walking, saying a few words, eating out of a snack trap, and now drinking milk from a sippy cup. I feel like I only have days left of still having babies. How has this happened so fast?!?!?!

Here is a video of Carter (and Luke) walking ... it also shows one of my VERY favorite things that they do. They absolutely LOVE crawling under my chairs and laugh at each other so hard ... they are such a joy!!!!

More Moores

I took the boys to Memphis last week ... my parents brought my almost 94 year old grandfather in for the day for a visit. It was SO great to have all the kids together ... we sure do have A LOT of little kiddos, and there's one more on the way. PaPa said multiple times, "I've never seen so many little ones running around." I sure hope he enjoyed his time as much as we did and continues to talk about this day for a while.

11 Months Old

Luke and Carter are 11 months old ... time truly has flown by. I can't believe they will be 1 year old in just a month. Both say "mama" and "ball" and are taking 4-5 steps independently. They have a ball together and LOVE Graham ... especially Carter .... he laughs at him all of the time. Graham told me the other day that Carter was his favorite brother because he played with him :) Luke loves giving high fives and is very proud of himself when he does something. Carter is a bit feisty and definitely gets a little angry when he doesn't get his way or someone takes his toy. They really are the cutest things in the whole wide world!!!!!

Here's a video of Luke's walking ... I'll try to post one of Carter soon
