Luke and Joss have some father daughter time

I, Luke, gave Joss a bath tonight. She is so funny. I just like to watch her. We took a few pictures together. It was her idea of course. Seriously though. Keri and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful, beautiful baby. She is so happy all the time now. The first month or two was a little rough. But once we figured out the right combination of food, sleep, holding positions and voices it became much easier. I already love her so much. I never thought it could be so much fun to have a baby. People say that she looks like me but I think that she might look more like Keri. I can see that she definitely has my eyes. Hopefully she will not get my eyebrows. If she does I will feel compelled ti get her laser hair removal for her birthdays and every other major holiday. Including Columbus Day (the guy discovered America). I seems unreal still to me that I have a daughter. Even though I see her every day and I hold her all the time it just seems unreal. I was holding her on the couch and I thought to myself I wonder what she thinks of me so far? Which brought on a multitude of more questions. First of all can a baby have an opinion of their parents? Does she know I am her Daddy? Does she like me? Does she have thoughts? Does she wonder where I go between 8 and 5? Does she miss me? Am I doing a good job so far? When will she start to walk or talk? What will she say first? And on and on and on...

I don't know if I'll ever have an answer to most of those questions but I can't wait to find out.

Luke and Kolbe Went Duck Hunting

Kolbe and I got up at about 4:30 this morning to go duck hunting with Austin Jackson. This was the first time I've been in about 3 years and Kolbe's first time ever. I am so proud of him. He did absolutely awesome. Kolbe was a little timid with the first one but after that he figured it out he did awesome. He was able to bring all the ducks back in from the water. Austin and I did pretty well. There were not whole lot of ducks flying around this morning seeing as how it was 75 degrees. 40 degrees would have been better. However it was nice because we had a couple good fly-bye's and Austin and I were shooting pretty good. We got a couple of 'coots and 3 Mallard's. 1 Drake (male with green head) and 2 hens (females that are mostly brown). Believe it or not we saw 2 deer (one large buck and one smaller buck) swimming across the lake. All of this took place on Lake Lewisville right behind Paloma Creek. Can't wait to go back. All this fun only a few miles from our house!

This is Funny

I found this on another bloggers page and thought that it was worth posting for more to see. Keri and I watched it at least 10 times and laughed a little harder each time!!!

Thousand Trails

Lots of Good Food
Joss likes to ride bikes almost as much as her dad!

Ready for the Hayride!


Joss and Lollie


Joss just loves this thing!!!

Keri and I went with her family this weekend up to Lake Texoma to a camp ground called Thousand Trails. We stayed there from Friday night till Sunday afternoon. It was a lot of fun. Joss got to go on her first hayride, first bicycle ride, and her first vacation!! Keri and I took a little while to get up there. We were the last ones there as usual. We arrived on Friday night around 9:pm. We sat around the campfire and hung out. Saturday we played several rounds of putt-putt, rode bikes, went on walks, played frisbee, took naps, played card games and scrabble and ate lots of good food. Needless to say it was a great time.
