Friday night we took Luke to "Star Wars in Concert". We had a great time. Just me, Jake and Luke. Luke was in awe at everything around him. It was such an experience. There were all sorts of memorabilia from the movies to look at in the foyer. Authentic movie weapons, costumes, original sheet music by John Williams. It was really neat. There were also actors walking around in character. It was a memorable night with our little Star Wars fanatic.
The orchestra was so amazing. You found yourself getting wrapped up in the clips from the movies and forgetting the music was live! It was wonderful. There were specials effects, lasers, smoke, fire, the works. Anthony Daniels (the actor who plays C-3PO in the movies) narrated the production. Luke looked at Jake during intermission and said, "BEST CONCERT EVER!"
The largest LED screen on tour.
Father and Son! Showing off our souvenirs, new T-shirts.
Luke was fascinated because they were playing all sorts of Star Wars sound effects before the show.
Surrender! People kept thinking Luke was so adorable. Most of the other little kids around were at least 7 or 8. Then there was little Luke. I forget how young he is, especially to be such a fan.
"You know of the rebellion against the Empire?" Rebel trooper and Rebel X-wing pilots.
"Boba Fett?! Boba Fett?!"
"Arise, Lord Vadar."
Dad and Luke getting blown up on the Trade Federation spaceship. Sorry for all of you not as familiar with the Star Wars universe as we are. In our house, it is a mandatory education. NO ONE knows more about Star Wars than Luke...well for sure no other 4 year old in the world.
Man we look alike! My sweet little boy!
Daddy and Luke. People kept smiling as they saw Luke and Jake playing lightsabers in the courtyard while we were waiting to get in. Luke is so lucky to have such a fun Daddy.
We let him wear his Darth Vadar costume. There were a BUNCH of people dressed up. Most of them kids...some who were what you would call
avid fans (that is putting it mildly :). It was an interesting collection of attendees.
Luke on the train on the way there. Sporting his new and currently favorite Star Wars shirt from Aunt Heather.
The guys watching football.
Grandma reading a story.
For those of you who haven't seen my house, our living room is the size of both stories. It has a loft looking over into it, but needless to say it is a very large room. Our previous 6 ft. pencil tree looked sadly pitiful in our new house. So this year we invested in a beautiful 9 ft. full Christmas tree. I LOVE IT! Thanks babe for indulging me with new decorations too.
Our Pretty Princess.
Grandma's girl.
Grandma Faye Ball and her little Lily Faye. We named Lily after my Grandmother because she is one of the kindest and sweetest women I know. I hope Lily will always know what a honor it is to carry my Grandmother's name.
Four generations of women. My mother's mother, my mother, me and my daughter.
Our Angels!
Uncle Jackson (holding Ty), "Uncle" Joey, Bishop Carlson, Uncle Matt, Uncle Elvin

Our annual homage to the cougs. Even if their season was not what we were hoping for.

Picking the perfect pumpkin.
Ty really is happy even though he looks pained.
On the hayride.
Best Friends.
Hay slides. The kids LOVED this. Ty couldn't get enough. Luke was even brave enough to go down the giant slide.
Having fun with Daddy.
We had a great time with the Speredons going to the pumpkin patch. Even though it was pretty cold the kids really enjoyed themselves.
