Family Fun

Chris' parents recently came into town and we had such a great time! The boys get SO excited to stay in a hotel with their grandparents.....they think it is living the HIGH LIFE! Here are a few pics from their visit.

While Grammy and Pops were here, they bought Tuck this school bus on steroids! Monster Truck style. It didn't take Tuck very long to figure out that the back door actually opened. Take a close look at the pic.....what do you see?

Did you have a guess? FRENCH FRIES!!!! He thought it was the funniest thing and so did we! Always a fun time!

Fall Fun and Super Heros!

We had the privilege to watch some of our friend's kids the other day! The kids of course had a fabulous time!

Fall has become my most FAVORITE season since we moved to TN! I love the colors, smells and sounds! Here are some of my favs (I wished I could say that I took these...but I actually got them off the internet..LOL):



Cooper loves to play dress up about 100 times a day! His most favorite is any kind of superhero! Here are Coop and his buddy Zach saving the day!

Oh to be a Superhero! I often wonder if I did have a Superhero's powers, what would I want for power? I think I would pick 2.....if possible. I would want to be able to fly, so that I could easily see all of my amazing family and friends that live far away! Or...to slow time down! I especially want this power many times during the day with my kids (some days I would like to speed up time when they are having a rough day, and want daddy to hurry home from work...LOL). But in all honesty, they are doing such fun things, have such an innocence, enjoy the littelest things in life, and are just SO darn cute! To capture that moment for just a LITTLE bit longer would be an awesome power as a parent!

What would you pick for your Superhero power?

Welcome to the zoo....Tuck is turning 2!

This past weekend we had Tuck's 2nd birthday party! It was such a beautiful day and fantastic. We decided to have a Diego (Di Di) and animal party! I think it was a hit! Here are some pics of our great day!

We decided to keep the food kid friendly and along with the animal theme.

Tuck had a REALLY hard time waiting.....so he had a few handfuls of icing beforehand....yum!

I couldn't get Cooper to stand still long enough to get a good pic of him! Just a blur in most! Here was our little favor bag we gave to all our friends! Thanks to everyone for making it such a special event!

Tuck...our little man

Oh....who am I kidding, he won't EVER play the name game! But he is so darn cute! Growing fast and doing funny things all the time. Here are a few pics and video to view for your pleasure! In the first video, watch at the end when Coop falls off his bed...we thought it was so funny!

Here is Tuck's new trick of climbing out of his crib! Scared me to death. He fell out of his crib and so now is in a big boy bed. Below is Coop taking a video of Tuck the monkey! There is also a cute pic of his new little bed....such a BIG boy!

One of my most favorite sounds it the boys laughing. Once they both get started....it is so hard for them to start. Here is one of my favs of daddy making Tuck laugh

A little of this and a little of that

We all ventured to Winchester, TN with Chris this past weekend! He had to work and we decided to go with him...to check out the town. They were having their annual Dogwood Festival. We had a grea time!



We had a great time at the festival! Once we were done with our funnel cakes and petting zoo...we got a little silly! We had a great time making silly faces and the boys became "TP Ninjas"!





Last but not least, our sweet Tucker is starting to try to talk/sing more! This video just melts my heart.

May 2010

May has been a VERY crazy month for us! First, Cooper has started his swim lessons and has been doing AMAZING! We are so proud of how far he has come. Tucker and Cooper think that the goggles are the coolest things ever, so they where them all the time! The pic of them with them on is one of my favorites!







My parents came up for a week and we had a great visit! We got to enjoy some wonderful family time and get to listen to some great live music.





Nashvile unfortunately suffered from devastating floods!! Many people lost all of their belongings and their homes. We were so lucky that we didn't have any flooding or damage! We are SO thankful. Here are some pics of how bad it really was. If you look close at the picture with the horse, that is a barn in the background. The water was almost to the very top of the roof. The other pic is of my bank!

April 2010

Easter was so wonderful! We traveled to St. Louis to spend the holiday with Chris' brother Jimmy and his family. My in-laws were able to come up too. The kids had the best time.....but we were so busy I forgot to take pics! LOL....this is the best I have. Ha!

The weather has been so BEAUTIFUL here that we have had many days of playing at the park. The boys are too cute! They are really starting to play well together and becoming such little buddies.
