September

This is Luke in the Celebrating Cultures even at Primrose. His class represented China!

Gigi came to see the parade and eat Chinese food with Luke!

Mrs. Wudte and Mrs. Hassanzadeh

For Grandma's birthday we took a catamaran out into Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. Laying on this trampoline net is probably one of my favorite places on Earth.

Captain Hawaiian Shorts

Peter Pan Salute

In early September we surprised Luke and  trekked it to Disney World for a (very early Halloween Party) and Pirate and Pals cruise! Here we are getting ready for the cruise...Captain Hook and Mr. Smee were even there!

FREE FOOD...okay we paid for it with our tickets but you better believe the Ragas family came home with many bags of Smart Pop tucked away in my purse!

Big Pirate, Little Pirate

It's a Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich!!!!!!!! 

Luke made friends with this girl and they danced and danced until...

it was limbo time!!

On the boat we got all settled in to watch fireworks over Cinderella's castle.

When we got back to the dock Peter Pan was there to greet us.

This is Luke's reaction to seeing Peter Pan...Todd seems less shocked.

This guy was AWESOME as Peter Pan! He talked to every kid for awhile and took pictures with each one afterwards. 

Getting ready for  Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Yes, that is a stroller in the background. We somewhat officially decided that this was our last Disney trip to use the stroller  :(

The beauty of Disney in September is this family walking by Luke were the ONLY other people on the bus with us to the park!!!

We are complete dorks...

Dance party with Toy Story Characters...someone was a little shy!

Todd got some bananas!

This is one of the Trick or Treat stations set up around the park. Luke ate the candy almost as fast as he received it!

Outside Pirates of the Caribbean Luke played cannonball toss!

Before the fireworks

During the special Halloween Parade...I think this is the same Peter Pan from the other pictures.

Spooky 

Fun at the pool!

Texas Summer Trip 2012

Our trip to Texas went by too fast, as they always do. We never have quite enough time to see everyone or do everything we want. Anyway, here we are visiting Tim and Allison for dinner and swimming. Neither of which were captured in a photo (just his gem)...you're welcome.

Here is Luke napping with Papa...you just can't see his head.

If you want Mark to baby or dog sit here is what you will get...

master supervisor at work!!!

Debbie on the other hand, takes a more kid friendly approach to childcare...

SUGAR!!!

The highlight of our trip was the side trip to Wichita Falls to see two of our friends get married! Luke loved wearing his "neck-tie" and "medding shirt."

Beautiful bride and groom!

They allowed Uncle Brian to be in the wedding!

At one point (before any drinks) Dad got separated from the group...don't worry he found us  and was very excited about it!

Luke found Uncle  Brian!!!

Group photo

Luke signed the guest  photo for us!

Fueling up before the dance party begins

Papa, Nanny and all of their crazy friends!

Quit stealing the props from the photo booth.

Bride and Groomsmen...not Luke in the mask. Okay at least he wasn't the only kid stealing from the  photo booth.

Let the dancing commence

"This is thriller...thriller night..."

Go Nanny, Go Nanny

Teach us how to dougie, teach us, teach us how to dougie...

Let's kiss from across the table while you are taking a drink...muah

Not really a good picture of us but it's the only one from that night.

Teaching Luke how to "get a little bit softer now" during "Shout."

I had a few cocktails by this point (no joke!)  and all I can say is I am glad that despite this crazy squat, I remained all covered up in the important areas.

You know you make me want to shout!!!!

Guess who was happy about cake! Also, I don't remember taking pictures while sitting on the floor so the photographer must have been Luke.

Love, love, love this picture!!!!!

Dancing machines!

Serious dancing

I am pretty sure most of the bubble solution ended up all over the floor about 3 minutes after this picture was taken.

So much going on here...not really sure what to address first!

Guess who loves tiny bubbles????

Guess who likes cake????
