Our little ballerina ........



Auntie Ashley sent this adorable little tutu for London. She loves it!!! The moment we put it on she ran around, danced for everyone and wore it for quite some time! Thanks Ash!!! =)

We have Grandma & Grandpa Lueck in town! They are visiting with us for a couple of weeks. We have had Grandmama Lueck ( Robbie's grandmother) in town for a couple of weeks already and have enjoyed every minute. We love having family around!

I know London is enjoying our company as well.... I think she gets a little confused when you ask her where grandma is, or you ask her who is grandma? She just looks at both grandmas. She might start thinking everyone's name is grandma! Too Fun!!!



Here is a view from the back, with a little London groovy move!

London insisted on wearing the tutu the next day when we went out side to take a walk. She is a crack up!!!!

Here we have Grandma Lueck with her hair night guard; (to keep Ralph the hair night dresser away!!!)She calls it her flippers! She is too cute, and might I add such a great poser!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Robbie's early surprise for Valentines Day!

I usually don't gloat about my possesions, but this is one time I will show off what a wonderful husband I have. Plus several of you have asked to see it! Robbie came home from school the other night abit early and surprised me with this ring. He couldn't wait until Valentines day to give it to me. He tends to get excited about the gift and wants to give it away in the moment. (That is how our engagement happened!) He was so sweet with the words and gratitude he expressed it brought me to tears. It was very much a sweet experience!!!
We have had the diamond for awhile... that is another long story,( some of you may already know our diamond story). Anyhow, neither of us are big fans of the pear shape diamond so we didn't know what to do with it. We talked about making a pendent or putting it in a new setting to preserve the investment. Robbie is very creative and thought up this particular setting. I love it! It is very different and so useful as I wear it as a sports band when teaching my classes or working out. I have to admit; it is a big diamond for a sports band, but simple and fun! (Diamond weighs 0.95 carats of I color SI1 Clarity)

Our Lit'l Artist....

Londs LOVES to color and make what we call Art! Here she is sitting in her chair, relaxed and scribbling away. She cracks us up! She will cross her feet and chat,chat away or sing pretty songs. We have a real funny one on our hands!
Lately she has afew new tricks; She will lift her left leg
up in the air as if she is doing a karate kick, but she brings it up so dainty like and curls & points her toes. I watched her do this several times without her noticing. I thought maybe it was because I painted her toenails and she was lifting her foot up to see her beautiful paint job. We soon found out it was a new trick and she will do it for anyone, then she tips her head back and cracks up laughing.
We also have a crazy on the beat dancer.I need to get her dancing on video.... she is a wild dancer and even gets her head going with the beat. We love to get groovy together! We have so much fun!!! I love this time... she is so fun and keeps us laughing daily!

Fun at the Park!
London loves to be out & about! Here we are at the park this past Thursday! The weather has been beautiful here in Vegas, so we try to take every opportunity we can to play outside.Yeah!

The Catch Up!
We are home and settled back in!
Finally.....(with a sigh) we have gone through all, and I mean all 316 of our photos from our trip. So here it is..... a glimpse of our Holiday Adventures. I do have to warn you it is a tad long....about 12 min.(wink,wink) so make yourself comfortable, sit back and enjoy!

Happy New Year!
We hope everyone has had a great New Year!

Long Vacation....... We are very much still Bloggers! Although many of you that check it weekly have wondered what we have been up to, have questioned... are they still blogging?, and wondering if everything is alright? The answer to all those questions is YES, YES & YES.
It all started at the end of November right on London's 1st birthday. We all got so sick; it lasted a good two weeks or so and then with the craziness of the holidays, finals, callings and just trying to catch up from the previous sick weeks we fell more and more behind!!! That pretty much sums it all up in a nut shell! We are currently in Nor Cal and have been here just right after Christmas. We have alot to catch you all up on so keep a look out for the full fledge update!!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY LONDS!!!

Today is London's Birthday! We have already had a busy day. First we went to her 1 year well check up and shots. We also played dress up this afternoon trying on the new outfits Grandma Lueck and Grandma McNicol sent for her Birthday.
It has been an amazing year with London! She is so incredibly active and soo smart! She has been such a perfect addition to our family and has brought us so much joy! There is not one day that has gone by that we have not thanked our Heavenly Father for her little spirit in our home. We have enjoyed watching her learn and grow; right before our eyes. London helps both Robbie and I to live our lives more fully in the gospel and are grateful to be an eternal family!

I came out of the office from checking my e-mail and this is the funny Londs spiking her hair with the new product line.... food!

London's little legs from her shots! She did so good, cried a little but she is so tuff! She is still a little thing, she is 30 inches tall and 18 lbs 3 oz. She is 75% in height and 10% in weight. She eats all the time, throughout the whole day!!! We need to plump her up!

Londs playing dress up in her new Birthday outfit from Grandma Lueck. Too cute! We love hats! These are the best I could get. Londs won't sit still for pictures, she is too busy running around and playing!

It is a 6 piece mix and match outfit with two pairs of pants, shirt, jacket, socks and a hat!

Londs playing dress up in Grandma McNicol's Birthday outfit. Too cute in denim! Back veiw of the dress.


Thanks Grandma L & M! Love you! Londs

We finally put in new blinds, painted the office, wired the surround sound and many must do's along with; running the holiday 5k, playing flag football, eating turkey dinner, watching "Ice Age" the movie, visiting the local Mormon Fort for a Pow-Wow and best of all hanging out together!
Check out our weekend!

Out on the town with the girls! This is at the New York, New York Casino. Can you see the steam coming from the street hole?Hailey, Ashley, London and I went out out on the town while they were here in Las Vegas last week. Lond's and I wanted to show them the town, although there is no way you can see everything in a couple of days. Here are a few things we did get to see.
Hailey and Ashley are my dad's step daughters. They were out here with my Dad and Judy for a work convention. Hanging with the Polar Bear at the Coca Cola Factory.
Lond's chessing away!

Coca Cola has "The taste of the World" You can try several products they have from all over the world. Some were tasty and others were worth just taking a sip. I really like the Lift Apple from Mexico.
It was great fun! We also enjoyed touring the M&M factory! The highlight for me was the "Shark Reef". Mandalay Bay has a huge exhibit of fish, sharks and every kind of Ocean creature you could imagine. I loved learning about the different fish and sharks. You had a hand phone you would carry around and stop at each exhibit to listen to their informative spill. You walked through tunnels with shark swimming al around you. They even had a small pool with sting rays you could touch. Pretty cool!!! I tried putting the photo's on but I'm having some problems. I will try later. lol

Our familiy's first Trunk or Treat! Robbie, Marsh and Londs

I think you'll get a QUACK out of this!

Halloween with the cousins.... We spent our Halloween evening with David's family. Yummy food, trick or treating and family fun what more could you ask for?
Here is a group picture of London with her cousins dressed up and ready to go head out for trick or treating! (L to R Camyrn, Shannon, London, Ethan & Autumn) Camryn is dressed as a scary devil.
Ethan is a scary pirate. London wasn't too sure about Ethan when we first got there. He looked pretty scary!
Autumn as our little clown. She was too cute!

Shannon as a fashionable witch. Can you see her blue hair?

Erin Lee Lueck

We have not seen Baby Erin for almost 5 weeks now. Here she is sleeping peacefully. For those of you who check out our Blog often, this is the baby without a name 5 weeks ago.
Proud parents: David and Crytal Lueck (robbie's eldest brother)

Erin is now 5 weeks old. She is still so tiny and sooo precious! For all the grandparents, aunts and uncles who are far away and have not see baby Erin, here is a little video clip to veiw her sweetness.

Halloween 5K Run

My two cheerleaders Dad and Lond's ----->

London and I after the race.

Here I am receieving my award--->

This morning I ran the Las Vegas Halloween 5k. We started the race at 7am. Robbie and London were there to cheer me on!
It has been several years since I have ran any kind of race. I came in 34 out of 116 racers and won 1st place in my age division (25-29yrs) I was the 5th women runner to finish! Ahhh It was a great feeling to finish! I forgot the rush you get when you are competing. I did it just to find other ways to get involved in the community and to have a change in my workout routine.

LITTLE DUCKY

This is London's first Halloween! We found her costume a few months ago at the Children's Place and fell in love with it. It just seemed to suit her personality. It has taken me everything not to show you her in the costume until Halloween. We have had a couple of practice dress up days and she hated the head piece. We talked about the day we would really need her to wear the head piece to take pictures. When we went to take her pictures London didn't make a fuss with anything, she kept the head piece on and didn't try ripping it off. As you can see we got several poses while having a blast!

This is our favorite!
London's signiture tounge pose. She always has that tounge going! lol
Yeah! Our little girl is standing! Gotta love the tights

Go...Go... Gadget Legs!!!!

Make an online slide show at onetruemedia.com

Here is London taking her first steps! She has been taking steps off and on for the past month, but on Sunday night she really figured it out! London is walking like a champ! See for yourself. LOL We will get current videos posted soon. She has progressed so much more this week, she makes this video seem old! She's our little crusier!!!!

London's first trip to the Las Vegas, ZOO

This is an Ape of some reigion.

We took a trip to the Las Vegas Zoo yesterday with the Nile boys.(below R to L Jaxon, Jordan and Erica) It was quite an interesting experience! As we approched the Zoo, we almost past it. The entrance was run down and not what we had expected to see for the Las Vegas Zoo. I would have posted a picture of the entrance, but my camera batteries died half way through the trip.:( The Zoo is alittle run down, but actually has quite a range of animals. As you can see they had swarms of piggens eating the bird feed we bought. Behind the Niles we have the goats. You can actually walk into the gated area to touch, feed and get head butted by the goats. Our experience with the goats is quite funny... We were feeding the goats and Mr. Billy the head buttr, head butt me right in the leg. It took me by surprise and hurt, then he/or she butts Erica. He was getting mean! We were both holding a baby and thought it was out of our best interest to get the heck out of there. As we were leaving the gated area we had to make our way through three gates. Mr. Billy goat #2 followed right behind us opening the gates. It was crazy holding babies, getting a toddler out and making sure the goats didn't get out. We were able to get out without anymore harm, but worried that the goats would get out. The last gate shut tight behind us. All was fine and we carried on through the Zoo.


London and her buddy Jaxon sitting infront of the big Tortise. We thought it was cute how Jaxon put his arm around London for the picture. I have no idea what they are both looking at, it was hard to get them both interested in the camera. They were interested at looking at eveything else. Lond's and I by the tortise.


The tortise was my favorite! I loved watching it move on it's stubby legs. For some crazy reason it reminded me of London crawling around.LOL Those tortise's are pretty quick! The fluffy chicken

Another great story to share......

It was towards the end of our adventure through the Zoo and Lond's was getting hungry so I pulled the snacks out. Gotta love snacks! (wink, wink) Anyhow, London was eating her graham sticks and hanging out watching the chickens and such. All of a sudden I see her reaching down to this fluffy chicken and snap... the chicken grabbed London's cracker and takes off. It was alittle startling, I was just glad the chicken didn't pick at London. The chicken kept following so we really had to watch our backs.

Overall we really enjoyed the time at the Zoo. The weather was perfect and us mom's needed a break from the everyday routine. The Zoo needs some serious upkeep and a bit of TLC. We will most likley return again just for kicks. We decide that all the amazing animal exhibits are at the Casinos on the main strip. We'll have to make a trip to those next! Gotta love a good adventure.

London in her pony's again! I love putting pony's in London's hair. She is looking like a big girl more and more everyday. :(
I am not ready for her to be a toddler, I want her to stay my little baby just abit longer. She will be 1yrs. old next month. Ahhhh! Where does the time go? Raarr...She's in for the attack. Robbie gets the beaver puppet out and attacks London, she loves it and gets so excited. They have alot of fun playing together, I love watching them!

London's First Ball
Londy's first soccer ball! She loves to hold your hands and kick it around. Dad was excited to go with London to the Nike store and pick out her first ball. You go girl!


Rolling the ball around with Dad!
