Charlie is 3!!!

On January 2nd (yes, I'm really behind!) Charlie turned 3!!!! The day started with a trip to the Perot Museum with Nana and baby Luke and Charlie had a blast!! That evening we had a celebration and he opened his gifts.  Charlie was so excited!!
Closing his eyes for the big gift!
His first bike!!!
It was probably the coldest night of the year on his birthday, but Dad still took him to the neighborhood school to ride and he did great. We were impressed with how quickly he learned!
I think he likes his new bike!

We then headed home for birthday cupcakes
Happy 3rd birthday!!
That weekend we went to see the Trains with our families.  Charlie is obsessed with trains at the moment and we thought this would be perfect.  After the holidays, it was nice to have a low key birthday celebration.












We were going to take him to one of our favorite brunch places, but the wait was forever.  So we headed to the food court instead.  It was perfect!
Blowing our more candles
Opening more gifts





Baby Luke even enjoyed the celebration!
What a fun time we had celebrating our sweet boy turning 3! Happy birthday Charlie Austin!!!

More Santa!

A few weeks ago Santa came to our house to see the boys!! Charlie was crazy excited about this.  He didn't stay long, but it was so fun!

Charlie telling him everything he wants for Christmas- bulldozers, dump trucks, fire trucks, train tracks......
 He then read Charlie Twas the Night Before Christmas...
 I'm pretty sure Charlie is telling Santa that he skipped a page or pronounced a word wrong.  He has no fear telling Santa he is wrong.  Oh my!!

 Luke and I watched the fun!
 Thank you Santa!
 Luke's first time meeting Santa!
 Rucker boys....
 Bye Santa....can't wait for you to come back next year!

Baptism

A few weekends ago (the weekend of the big ice storm!) Luke and Charlie were baptized at our church.   It was a very special day in their lives, and we are thankful to all of our family who drove through the ice to be there and support them.

Waiting so patiently.... tongue out, of course.

Charlie was first...

Sweet Luke was up next...

So thankful we found a great church to guide and support us in raising these boys ...

Afterwards we went to our favorite taco place to celebrate the boys.  Thanks Nana for the cake- it was delicious and turned out so cute!!

Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Adam with the boys- Charlie was more interested in his cake than taking pictures!
