Totally Random

THE DONALD JR. What a Champion! Tuck will have a poster of this guy.



This is a private school sticker. I cannot say whose car this is, BUT it seems like we are getting old!


Just a great picture....this face is one of the million reasons that we love him.

Chuck E. Cheese & Beer....Odd Combo

As the pics below will attest, I did visit Chuck E Cheese's (to be called CEC) and they DO serve alcohol. Now, I thought it a little odd/strange/weird/redneck/hoosier(fot those in the STL) that CEC would have a liquor license. That was before I entered the said establishment. In fact, I did not believe it when a friend told me. BUT, in yet another fantastic display of Americanism you can get a "cold one" while your kids spend hours collecting tickets and running wild. This is probably reason #2 that I love America....#1 being garage sales, but that is for another post. Anyway, i will stopp blabbing and let the pictures speak.



The menu...I had to have proof


If you can make out the labels, I believe that CEC carries both a "blush" and "chablis" on tap....now that's AMERICAN! What is better/worse...wine in a box or wine on tap? You make the call.

Love me some Livvy

and I miss her like crazy :(

These girls love Tuck

This is my high school small group (Libby's). I know this is Tucker's blog, but I love them and they love Tucker... so they are making the blog. From left: Dani, Ali, Lizzy, Elizabeth, Holly, me.

Helping us weed the garden
His first birthday party at Chuck E Cheese

More new words:
"mato" = tomato
"Bye Bye Woah-Wah" = Bye Bye Noah (his buddy). Everything is Bye Bye ____
Kyle took him to breakfast Sat am and when the waitress took his plate he said "Bye Bye cat-cakes" for the rest of the day.
"ocks" = socks
"cwocks" = Crocs
"Cuh-co's cwocks" = Tucker's Crocs = the small little brown Crocs
There are so many... I can't remember everything. He repeats most anything and wants to know what EVERYTHING is called. Very cute.

Cool kid

Time for a haircut

Nobody tell him he is not a model.

A good hour

...of entertainment today! He has a terrible diaper rash so I am trying to keep him naked as much as possible. He, of course, loves it and spent this time emptying and restuffing my wallet. Over and over...
He walks around our house (which is filled with pictures of people we love) and points asking who everyone in the picture is. He repeats the names his little mouth will let him say and then brings the frame back several times pointing out who he remembers. I can't put in to words how adorable he is right now. He is a little sponge -- trying to take in everything and say it for himself.

Kyle's favorite moment in Daddyhood

Some of you got the phone call...

Tucker ate his own poop. Yes, that's his own poop on the side of his mouth, on his hands and on his shirt. He reached in to his Diaper Genie, pulled out his last diaper and decided to taste it. It was terrible. Disgusting. And slightly amusing after we realized it couldn't hurt him.

Video April 19th

His vocab is increasing by the hour, but I wanted to make sure I got some of his "chinese" on here. I'm almost sad he'll be talking soon - his other language is so cute. His newest "thing" is phrases like "I dunno" and "I got it" and "Here we go."

Ahh! I just remembered that this is going to be facing the wrong way -- sorry!

April 19

First of all, Happy Birthday to Heather! I don't know if she even checks this blog, but Happy 31st! While I'm here, Happy Birthday to Leland tomorrow - the big 3-0! We are all getting OLD. Kyle has been obsessed with "30 is the new 20" since February 10th... I just don't know if the rest of us are buying it.

Second, the post from earlier this week is a result of me asking Kyle to blog more. That's what you get.

Third, just had some good pictures of the man, Tuck, that I wanted to share.


I've been waiting until he could actually walk in Crocs. There is nothing cuter than a toddler in these little shoes!

These are PG-13 and I pray that Clayton and Cherie don't come on this blog and find their precious daughter without her shirt on! :) But Tuck and Izzy had to be shirtless to eat their favorite food, ketchup!

Shout out to Girbs!

Kyle couldn't resist taking this picture. She is going to kill us, but we just have to give a shout out to the ULTIMATE yuppie :)

Jax News of the Weird...

Yep, that there is a Moonpie...a southern delicacy. We were taking a walk yesterday and happened across a neighbor with a Great Dane of 12 months and 150lbs, Diesel. He was not in the yard and so we inquired as to his whereabouts. We were told he was now in the back yard...and this is where it gets weird. Apparently a homeless woman has not been able to keep herself from feeding Diesel that southern delicacy pictured above. Yeah, that's right, she continues to feed Diesel Moonpies thus making him sick and sending him to the vet (which all with dogs know is never cheap). The JSO (local po-po) has been called to the scene in the last week to keep the peace, but have been rendered usless against the wiles of The Moonpie Bandit. That is our neighborhood folks...it's different, but we would never change it....actually we would but cannot afford to at this time. We welcome any comments and any other News of the Weird.

Happy Easter!

Probably the two most adorable creatures that ever lived...

He wasn't too sure about the Easter bunny HOLDING him. He enjoyed him from afar.
They had cute activities to do like decorating cookies.

This picture is just SO Tuck. He loves making this face and he is very excited about the spoonfuls of ketchup he just consumed (Yuck!)for brunch.

1552 Flagler Avenue

Just our house. I don't think I've ever put it on here for those of you that haven't been down to visit.

What have I been up to?

Mostly I have just been chillin'...

Then my Nan came to visit me and play with me for a week.

Then I went to Atlanta with the 'rents to visit all my friends. William and Olivia and I all hung out.

Then Lola the babysitter watched me while my Mama and Daddy went to Ben and Carol's 30-60 Birthday Soiree!

We had a shower for Rob and Grace - I can't wait to have a new friend when their baby comes.

2nd Double Ear Infection

Poor baby. I can't resist taking pictures of him when he is sick -- he is just so pitiful and cute.

My little doll...

I finally have a doll to dress. Kyle hasn't let me dress him for the seven years we have been married, but Tucker doesn't protest! All the seersucker and patchwork I want!

Watch out!

Get excited Uncle Brian! Tuck is way in to baseball these days... but watch out! He will swing at anything his path.

anything can be a "baseball"... soccer balls, etc

Wild West

Tucker and Garrett


Have you ever seen a cuter cowboy?

Happy Birthday

UNCLE BRIAN!!!

We love you!

He's sensitive...

So he takes care of his "baby" Big Bird...


So he puts rubberbands around his wrist to pull his hair back later...

So he walks around in heels...

So he carries a purse...

I don't see why Kyle is worried. Everything he knows about day-to-day life is what I do all day! He is a mini-mommy!!!
