Em's Front Porch: Our Little Swashbuckler

Our little Lukey turned 5 this week! I say little because that's what he is... little and cuddly and sweet. Can he really be five? Granted he does have enough energy in that little body to power a small house and his rock solid little calves are always in motion. Yes he's grown 3 inches since December according to the marks my mom makes on her laundry room door (was it 3 mom?) Did I mention he swims like a fish now too? Jumps off the diving board and swims right to the bottom sometimes making us wonder if he is ever going to come up for air. All this aside he is still my little Lukey and probably always will be.

Luke got a pirate outfit for his birthday this year. This was very appropriate seeing as his birthday celebrations all revolved around pirates this year. Pirates have been the current craze at our house lately. Shiver me timbers, it's true! It is also very fitting seeing as Lukey LOVES to dress up. Luke and Isaiah are often found in costume to play the role of some character or another. But Luke is known for his random outfits as well, the one's that make you go hmmmm. What better way to celebrate Lukey than to take a look at some of his fun outfits over the years. Enjoy Matey!

Happy Birthday Luke! He has a fun pirate vest too which is not shown here

Another pirate a couple years ago

Just being silly

Grama with a gun?

This is Pharaoh if I remember right

I'm afraid I can't really tell you what this is

The King- a couple interpretations

Cowboys are also popular with Luke- he loves his button down shirts and boots

more cowboy!

They keep things interesting, that's for sure

Oh so cute

Oh so fun to go down memory lane.... but the here and now is pretty great too!

We were camping on Luke's actual birthday (pictures of vacation to come) So we had a little backyard party last night for Luke and our friend Ruby. Arrrrgh! It was a jolly good time.
