One of Luke's favorite activities: boxing with dad. Luke's got a mean right hook.
Austin's mug shot with his diploma - evidence that he did indeed finally graduate
Austin's dad and Luke spent about an hour figuring out which of the 200 hot wheels we have, is the fastest. Dad was so disappointed that it wasn't the Ferrari, but was some unmarked "brown car."
Austin's dad gave Jensen some tips on basketball. Now he's "ready to go pro."
Austin's been wanting a gun and trying to convince me that it was a good idea for about 2 years now. I finally gave in and let him get a gun just like his dad had in Vietnam, except Austin's is a plastic bee-bee gun.
This is a picture of Jensen's favorite part of his first birthday.
Austin's dad hit 3 homeruns from Luke's pitches - I don't know if that's good or bad.
This shot is for his all-star baseball card
He's so cute!
With the recent start of a new football season, Luke has loved watching football with Austin. On Saturday, he watched a lot of the BYU game. During the game, he ran into the toy room, found these livestrong and breast cancer support bracelets that Jensen plays with, and he put them above his calves as the football players wear. Seriously, this kid is for real about sports. He turns 3 soon and in many sports, 3 is the age you can start playing. We are excited for him. He will be in heaven. I’m interested to see if other kids are as good as he is in any sport. Seriously, he seems to be above average athletically.
We literally have a baseball game every night of the week and sometimes during the day. Luke is very observant of the games. He and Austin went to another baseball game a week ago and sat around the scoreboard and stuff, pretty fun. Anyway, Luke watched very closely how the pitcher winds up to throw the ball and how the batter holds the bat. Now, when we are playing baseball, he winds up for real just like a real pitcher. And he gives me advice on how to hold the bat! What a fanatic! He does his own drills for baseball (which he made up) including him rolling the ball away from himself and then running and sliding to grab the ball with his glove. He loves to race you for it. His other drills including sliding and saying “Safe.” Luke's been practicing sliding into home plate, in the living room. He's gotten quite a few rug burns - which he doctors with a sticker!
