a slacker mom....

so luke mentioned the other day that I had done a blog post for everyone's birthday but his so I am feeling a bit guilty today.... granted, I don't think I blogged all summer....but still Luke deserves to be celebrated!

He turned 14 on July 3 this last summer. Luke is a pleasure to have as a son. He started 9th grade this fall. I can't believe I have an official highschooler!

Luke keeps busy with his athletics (he chose to play baseball over footballthis fall, and he's been doing great) and he is so smart he'll knock your socks off!

We love you Luke :)

Here are some of Luke's Favorites right now (in his own words):

• Food: Teriyaki Chicken with ranch
• Colors: Maroon and Gold
• Things to do: Any sports, hang out with friends, watching Sports Center
• Vacation Spot: Seattle (Especially Safeco field)
• Movie: Glory Road or Remember the Titans
• Book: Percy Jackson series
• Song: Party Rock Anthem
• Place to eat: Just about anywhere, but Cafe Rio is the best!

happy 9th to elizabeth!
