Never sure what you are going to get.

Tucker is so incredibly sweet right now. He OFTEN just tells us how much he loves us and gives us hugs and kisses.

And then minutes later... tons of attitude and sass!

We are just at a point in parenting where we have many, many "discussions" on an hourly basis about what is appropriate, nice, good, necessary, etc. It is TIRING work!

But look at this sweet face...

Here & There

Taking an afternoon snooze... a rare thing these days.

Mac is really growing up so fast. He is so mobile and he now plays with cars and bugs Tucker all the time. It will just be a matter of time before he is walking around.

Tucker before Halloween... my friend Cherie went all out for these Halloween treats and then we made a bunch of cookies with the cookie cutters. Tucker has been hyper (both because of excitement for the holiday fun and the increased sugar flowing through his system) for at least a week.

Mac sleeps JUST like Tucker. Well, I should clarify. He looks like Tucker when he is sleeping. He does not sleep well like Tucker. But still... So, so sweet to go in & peek!

Light of Christ

All the 4 year olds have the opportunity to be the "Light of Christ" at Southside for one of the chapel services each year. I knew Tucker would love doing this and it was a really special day for him. We all walked up with him to light the candles at the beginning (as the whole school sings "This Little Light of Mine" of course!) and then he and Kyle put the flames out at the end.

Twirling...

These two sweet friends had a fantastic weekend together in Atlanta. We dressed them in their Halloween costumes for a little pretend Halloween photo shoot!

Tucker loves his Livvy!

Fall Fun!

My sweet little family.

We walked up to the Pumpkin Patch last night. Tucker has been asking hourly since October 2nd (when the pumpkins arrived at his school) when we would be getting our pumpkin. So it was not a moment too soon!

Tucker's choice. We opted for a more manageable pumpkin.

Big time!

The only one who can get Mac to keep a bib on is Tucker. And he loves helping feed him. For about 2 bites. Then he's out.

Mac's Life

at 10 months.

Sweet baby Mac loves playing with Tuck and terrorizing Jackson (just when Jackson thought he could relax again because Tucker stopped bugging him.)

Baby Mac knows how to throw a tantrum. This is foreign territory as Tucker never threw tantrums. Ever. Mac has definite opinions about things. For a couple months he has refused to pick up his own food (in this particular tantrum I documented.) He has now decided to shovel his own food in his mouth, but not on this day. He cries.

He throws his body around.

He flips his head to the side.

But then he recovers...

More playing with Bro.

Mac loves to bug Tucker. He is always pushing him and pulling his hair and yelling at him. It's hilarious.

Love these boys.

Tucker's Life

It's Pumpkin Patch time again and Tucker's class got to go on Wednesday to pick out their pumpkins, read stories and have a scavenger hunt. He continues to LOVE school.

A little reading time with Mimi.

These are clearly out of order... back to the Pumpkin Patch.

And in other Tucker news, the Raptors continue to dominate every opponent. We joined the right team to get in on the winning :) Last week was their first real competition and they ended up winning by many goals... some teams haven't gotten to score at all. Tucker continues to run around and have fun and barely touch the ball. Luckily the other five take care of business. Last week we played against the Sports Guy in Jacksonville's son and he talked about the game on his morning radio show this week. One of our mom's happened to be listening and was close to the studio so she went in and they trash talked each other for a few minutes. Really funny that the 4 year old soccer game got some press!

The Raptors!

Watching Tucker play soccer is hilarious... his team is AWESOME. They all played a little last year and they can run circles around 97% of all 4 year olds. Tucker DOES NOT CARE about running or scoring a goal -- he loves it but he just does his own thing out there.

Random fun...
