A Peek Of Our Week.......

I have been busy with a great opportunity to practice my art. A great friend of ours is the Tennis head coach of a well respected High School here in Vegas. He has asked me to attend the tennis matches and take pictures of both the girls & boys Tennis team for the end of the season slide show, that I too will put together for them. It has been a great experience to familiarize myself with my camera. It has also been fun stepping into the world of High School and reminiscing of the good ole times (not that I played Tennis, but other sports and such). Any who, I will post more on my photo blog that I have been withholding for quite sometime now. In due time I will post and allow viewers.

My little bugs hanging out at the Tennis courts, enjoying our beautiful weather.

Decorating was fun with London, a bit longer to do with my little helper.... but so worth seeing her excitement. This is one of my most favorite times of the year; I heart Halloween and fall festive stuff!

Yummy Pumpkin Bread(w/chocolate chips) I love the aroma baking & filling every crevice of my home as well as my tummy. Scrumptious!!!

Conference was a bit challenging to listen to with me, myself & I; and two needy bugs. Rob was still in SD, so needless to say I tried catching all that I could in the 4 sessions. London did a pretty good job listening I have to admit, and I kept her busy with little projects.... such as this one. My sister in-law, Keli (the most amazing crafty gal) has got us loving and doing our own "Glitter Nails". As it proves, London fell asleep in the middle of our little nail project. I didn't mind as it was easier to do her nails without alot of movement on her part. You'd think she was in a salon all relaxed and pampered.

The best part of the day is when they are taking naps... I need just that speck of the day to re-group and keep myself together, and it isn't but maybe 45 mins. of a re-group. Thank Goodness Dad came home yesterday! Yeah!!!!!!!

I Left My Pictures in South Dakota!


I know this sounds a bit funny, but all my pics are in South Dakota with Rob & our Laptop. He won't be home for another week so I will have to post some more of our trip when he gets home. The kids & I returned to the city early to fulfill a photo commitment, so here we are without my honey and the bugs dear daddy. London asks me constantly" When is daddy going to come home?" or when we arrive home from running errands, " Is daddy home yet mom?" Bless her little heart she misses her daddy! ME TOOO!

Just a bit of our Day..... I have the perfect picture of Kingston marking his 5th month... But, it is in South Dakota. Sooo here is an updated photo of our little prince. He brings us so much joy and lights up every time London gives him any attention. Lately she has been singing to him, and he loves it! While we were in SD we were coming back from town and Kings was just sooo upset... Londs started singing him songs and he stopped to listen, once she stopped he started crying again. Soo sweet! I love those moments!




We had our Buddy Tae this afternoon and London posed and said "mom take a picture of me like this!" She was so excited to have Tae come and visit, we read books, sang songs and just worked giggles out of the boys. Once again they are only a week apart, so it is so fun having them together!

Tired of tummy time already?

Poor Tae! He had no idea that he was soo going to be a human teether.... Fun Times!!!

Back On The Farm........

We love the Farm, South Dakota and Grandma & Grandpa! We took a last minute trip back to the Farm. You can't beat a $29 flight on Allegiant Air-SCORE! What a beautiful time of year to visit and to get out of the desert heat. I tell so many people about the farm and I just can't describe it in words, so this time I hope to capture the feel and vision of the amazing Dakotas on film.

The Wonders & Likes of Visiting the Farm.......

This is the road that I love to run on leaving the house. I love breathing the fresh air and racing the cows.

The corn fields tracing the road way, almost ready for harvest.

Seeing equipment and gadgets set aside for retirement on neighboring farms & wondering the history they once knew.
Watching hard working Farmers at work.
Little girls who make my passion possible by letting me practice with her & our surroundings.
The wide open spaces & autumn colors popping out in the fields and trees.

Plethora of veggies and fruits for canning, jamming and eating fresh from the garden. ( Lond's is helping Grandma with the wild plums for jamming)

Little boys who bring so much joy.

Little girls who play contently and are clean for this very moment.

The dirt that makes a little girl happy to dig in and run freely on. This is what London looks like the moment she walks out the door to play... she plays hard!
The road I run on that leads me back to the farm where my little bugs are waiting with Grandma. The road that takes us to the railroad tracks on the four wheeler that London asks to ride to. But best yet, it is the road that takes you away from the crazy city life and back home for my cute husband. Enjoying moments like these with with his parents , my in-laws & Grandma & Grandpa Lueck! More moments to share, coming soon......

WELCOME TO THE 3-0 CLUB!


Yes! it is has come Mr. Lueck, you are finally apart of the thirty club! Hmmm, looks like London stole a few candles on your wish... she knew dad needed some help!(since he's getting old)
London was my ultimate helper today decorating our apartment and making a cake for the birthday boy. Haaaa Ha! We attempted a basketball cake, it turned out more like a pumpkin cake. LOL It was all in the experience! She gets so excited to celebrate birthdays & is counting down the many, many days she has until it is her Birthday! Silly girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE! We love You!

Today I caught a moment of loves with my little Bugs. After Kingston's nap, London crawled up into his crib to cuddle with him. Sweetness!

Almost sitting on his own.. this little man is all about sitting and standing, NO laying down for him! ( I love him in his little man thermals)

THIS & THAT

Our little guy is 4 months now & becoming so much fun! I love the little milestones we get to experience over again. He is such a little sweetheart, easy going and the perfect addition to our family!

Another project.... I needed a space for little miss London to hang all of her art and creative pieces.... so we came up with this! Londs helped paint the clothes hangers and hung up all her art work herself! She was pretty excited to have her own place to display her STUFF!

WEDDING BLISS........

It's official!
