4th of July

We went to the beach for the 4th of July with Courtney, Lauren, and Addy; and Jennifer, Wes, and Cooper.  We had such a great time!  We stayed at The Indies on Fort Morgan Road in a really nice condo.  It's so fun that we went to the beach together in college and now we're going together with our families!  This is my favorite picture...how difficult is it to get everyone to look at the camera??  I mean I understand that the kids won't, but we couldn't even get the Daddies to!

Carrie!!

Cameron and I went to the Carrie Underwood concert last month at the BJCC.  It was a great show.  Cameron wasn't originally supposed to go, but when plans changed for Alye, he had to go with me.  I don't think he minded, since he has a bit of a crush on her!  This is one of the best pictures I got.  She flew around the arena in this truck, so everyone got a to see her pretty close.  

Toy Story 3

Tucker, my mom, and I went to see Toy Story 3 yesterday.  It was super cute!  Tucker loves to go to the "big movie show."  He sat perfectly still the whole time...with M&Ms and popcorn, of course!  I think we may try to go to some of the free movies they offer throughout the summer.  It's a great activity, especially when it is SO hot outside.

At home....

Well, I no longer have a job...which is a good and bad thing, I guess. I'm happy to be home with Tucker, but of course nervous about how everything is going to work financially. Anyway, I've got a little more time on my hands now, so I thought I'd document what we do through this blog. Seems like a good way to keep up with what's going on with our family...most of it will probably be pretty boring!

Merry Christmas!!

We've been so busy, I haven't posted anything in a long time!  I will have to catch up while I'm off for a little while.  I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!  This year is so much fun already because Tucker is so excited about everything, I can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning.  Even though, he'll probably be so overwhelmed he won't give me the reaction I want, but either way it will be wonderful!  I'm so thankful for the birth of Jesus Christ!

Halloween Fun

It has been so long since I posted anything.  We just got the internet at home, so maybe I can keep up better.  

This was by far our most fun Halloween yet!  Tucker dressed as a cowboy- again!  He insisted on being a cowboy, even when I gave him a million different other choices!  We went trick or treating with all of his cousins.  Tucker had so much fun, he loves his cousins.  They were so cute to watch, it's just sad how fast they are all growing up.  I don't want these fun years to be over! After trick-or-treating we went to see Addy and Cooper.  We took lots of pictures, but none with my camera!  So hopefully I will get some and post later.

We carved this big-smile pumpkin...Tucker wouldn't help clean it out because it was yuck. :)

The cowboy before his school party...with his signature cheese smile.

All the cousins at the first trick-or-treat stop...

So much fun, can't wait until next year...hopefully we can talk Tucker in to being something other than a cowboy!!

School Boy

Oh my gosh!  I am so behind!  It has been a busy summer!  Tucker started his new class last week.   His new teachers name is Holly.  She is super sweet, I really like her and the plan for the school year.  It has been a week now since he started his new class and he is still crying every day.  And not just crying, clinging to my leg for dear life...and then I can still hear him screaming for me as I walk down the stairs and out the door.  Talk about a bad way to start the day!  I have tried bribing him with Happy Meals and new toys, new movies...nothing has worked yet!  This is such a fun age, though, he talks ALL THE TIME and amazes me with some of the things he picks up on.  He is in love with the Backyardigans right now and we watch at least 5 episodes a day...I know, you should not let your child watch that much TV, but whoever made that rule needs to tell him that- because I'm not fighting that battle!  He is very strong-willed and wants to make all of his own decisions- I don't know where he gets that?!?
