Happy 10th Birthday, Luke!

Ten-a DECADE! I can hardly comprehend our son being 10!!!

Here is Luke before his party, opening a present from his sister.

Opening a present from G & G P while on the phone. THANK YOU!

Opening presents from Mom & Dad!

He received a special bday coloring book from his cousins, the 'meatballs!' THANK YOU!

Blowing out 10 candles at his Transformer-themed party.

The cake--chocolate cake with chocolate chunks in it topped with chocolate frosting with chocolate chips. Chocolate, anyone??

Pinata fun--this little thing was hard to bust open!! Luke, Maggie and the Thon cousins took turns whacking at it!

The birthday boy taking his turn.

Happy Valentine's Day

Toothless Grin

Well, she did, she lost her second tooth! It just popped right out into her hand like the one before it did. There is nothing like that toothless grin! :)

Desk + Necklaces

Jesse decided to do some upgrading in our room to accommodate the electronics. I really love having the TV off our dresser. Below the TV is my new little computer desk.

A closer view of my desk. The cabinet was something I found at a garage sale. It looked awful when I bought it for $10, but I think it's gorgeous now! Knobs are from Target.

I was also tired of my necklaces always being twisted and knotted. Jesse designed the board for me on his router. I painted and distressed it and picked out these knobs from Hobby Lobby. If you have never been to a Hobby Lobby, it's a TREAT to go there! I love it!

My favorite knob is the middle one. I had originally planned to use old glass doorknobs, but when I saw these, I was sold.

Headboard

This is the headboard Jesse made for Jamie for Christmas. I think it turned out beautiful!

Here's the man himself...

Closeup view. She gave us a pic of what she wanted and he designed it from memory.
