The big 6!!

Happy 6th Birthday to Mr. Luke today!!!
I was going to list all the things that make Luke unique except when I looked back at what I said on his birthday last year, it was pretty much the same thing!! He still has 1 dimple, he was still born in the middle of the night, etc etc!!

What's different this year is that he's halfway through his Kindergarten year and he's definitely ready to move on. School started out as a very exciting proposition and is now just something you do - sometimes happily, sometimes not! :(

He is playing Upward basketball this season and is TOTALLY pumped about that! His first game is this Saturday and I would be totally pumped too, except his game is at 8:00 AM!! He's so excited, he can hardly stand it!! He's been doing the countdown to game day for several days now!!

Luke is still possibly the sweetest boy on the planet. Hugs and kisses are plentiful and he is quick to laugh and be silly too! I think he finally outgrew the whole wetting the bed thing this year! (I know - he'll be thrilled to read that someday, but it's just for documentation purposes!!)

He had a special treat last night when Scott and he went to a Mavericks game. Scott is friends with "Champ," one of the Mavs' mascots, and Champ gave Scott 2 tickets to last night's game. When Champ gives us tickets, they are usually awesome seats, so we HAVE to take them!! Scott and Luke sat 8 rows from the floor and had a great time! Champ came over and gave Luke a shirt that he signed (size XL :) ) and took pictures with him. The best part for Luke was that the Mavs won!! It was a super late night on a school night, but totally worth it!!
His shirt . . .
Today, we met my parents at Spring Creek for supper and Luke got a Nintendo DS. When asked if he wanted a big party with lots o' friends and small gift, or a big gift with a small party, he chose the big gift and small party. He was way excited about the DS so it all worked out nicely!!

I didn't take pictures at the restaurant, so here he is as he's going to bed, with his DS . . .


I'm SIX!!

Kristy,
My son Peyton is also in Kindergarten this year and is also playing in UPWARD basketball. He's first game is the 17th. He's way excited too. We get to go to a Cleveland Cavilers game with our UPWARD group in March.
Tell Luke Happy Birthday!
