Just Clowning Around

We finally got to celebrate Tucker's 7th birthday today. This year he chose a monster theme. At first I wasn't sure that it would be very cute but, I LOVED it. My mom made the cutest monster cupcakes, Tucker and I made some monster decorations and we used lots of bright primary colors. He also really wanted a clown for some entertainment. So I found one online that we had seen a party before. Her name is Sweet-Tart and she is great! Here is her website http://www.texomaparties.com/ She did some awesome face painting, a little magic show and made Tucker a really cool balloon parrott. We ran out of time for all of the kiddos to get a ballon. We all had an absolute blast!! I am so thankful for all the wonderful family and friends that we have in our lives. My mom spent all day helping me clean and decorate for today's festivities. Then she stayed and helped clean up too. Not to mention that she had stayed up until 1:30 am decorating the cupcakes. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mom that loves me and my family to pieces. Even with all the yucky weather so many people took the time to show Tucker how important he is to them by coming to celebrate with us. Seven years ago I could have never imagined all the blessings God had in store for my life. I am so blessed to have Tucker as my son. He has taught me so much about life and what is really important. He has taught me love unconditional. Tucker has such a sweet heart and loves life! I am so excited to continue to love him and watch him grow. I know God has great things ahead for my little love bug. Here are a few pictures from today!

It has been a while

Well a LOT has changed since my last post. Leah is almost two and Tucker just turned seven. They are both full of energy and are keeping Jake and I very busy. Tucker is playing basketball right now. Last week he had the Flu on his birthday so we had to cancel and reschedule for this weekend. We have been out of school since Tuesday because of snow and ice. We are still having the party though and we just may go sledding as the party activity if the clown I hired is unable to make it.Tucker is reading now. He is not so sure if he likes it or not. He says that he would rather just work on cars. I have told him you still have to learn to read! I also think that he is the best lego builder ever. He loves them and could build all day long. He is also in his first years of cub scouts and he is loving it! I am so proud of the young man he is and is becoming. Leah is learning and changing so much every day. She loves Minnie and Mickey Mouse. If it has mouse on it she has to have it. Her best friend is her cousin Maddie. Those girls are so funny together. Their conversations crack me up. Blah and PaPa are her favorite people, she always wants to go to their house or in Blah's car. She likes to call her Meems and Pop on the phone. Her favorite toys are baby dolls and an IPhone. She is very dramatic, I know I will be in trouble in about 10 years. Her sweet smile can always make everything instantly okay.
We have been snowed in for FOUR days. We finally went out today and went sledding in our neighborhood. We had a blast with some great friends!

That's all for now, I am going to try REALLY hard to keep up with this better! Happy reading!
