Why my daddy's a soldier........

instead of a barber!! We agreed that Tucker was in very bad need of a haircut, and I was okay with a short buzz with the clippers, however, bald is not what mom had in mind!! Tucker did look in the mirror and say, "now I look like Grandpa"! That was pretty funny! Although I'm less than thrilled, Tucker seems to like it. He loves feeling it and says "now I can see my brain"! Oh, the things kids say...... The first pic looks like Tucker is saying, "hmmmm, what am I doing?" Next is what I call the Full Metal Jacket look. Finally, this is the reason why Pearce/Krider boys need hair-far too much ear!!!

Ty

Here are a few pics of the not so little man. Daddy's mission is to make him a Kasey Kahne fan. He's already holding up the #1 sign!!!

Houston vacation

We took a wonderful Mother's Day weekend trip to Houston compliments of The Pampered Chef. I earned a free stay in '05, and since it was expiring the following week, we decided we better use it!!!! Most of our time was spent at the Kemah Boardwalk, which is like a small amusement park. What a great place to take the kids. Tucker had a great time, and the food was fabulous! We also found a neat little place with putt-putt and bumper boats. It just happened to be National Miniature Golf Day, so we got to play for free. Who knew there was such a day?! We also went shopping for an inflatable water slide for the yard. We had to end up ordering it, and we're looking forward to it getting here next week. It's so hot here in the summer, and the post pool doesn't allow swim diapers, so taking the boys to the pool is pretty much out of the question. So, we'll be the cool family on the street with the giant waterslide! Look for pics after next week!!! Anyways, here are some pics from Houston.......believe it or not, Tucker really liked the ferris wheel!

Fishing

Daddy took Tucker fishing for the first time this morning. It was an early morning out of bed and off to the brand new Huddle House on post for breakfast. Then to Catfish Cove, the children's fishing pond on post, and a great morning of father-son time. Tucker was very proud to show off the first of his many catches!

7 months old!

Ty was 7 months old yesterday, I can hardly believe it! Look closely and you can see his first tooth that came through last week!

How do I get out of this predicament?

Ty managed to get himself tucked under the footstool. Tucker thought it hilarious and wanted to join him. He really thought it was funny when I told him he used to do the same thing!

All jumped out!

Looks comfortable, huh? He was still trying to jump as I pulled him out to put him in bed. Never even opened his eyes!

Cowboys

We recently went to a PBR rodeo, which Tucker was, of course, thrilled about. This pic is him in front of the bucking shoots. He told me he couldn't wait to be "ridin' them bulls someday". He was also super excited to meet announcer Donny Gay that night. For those of you that know bull riding-Wow! So neat for Tucker to get a high five from him. For those of you not so familiar, think football's Al Michaels or Frank Gifford. We saw a sign from Ty that he will follow in his brother's footsteps of loving all things rodeo. He took hold of Tucker's stickhorse and did not want to give it up. Big brother wasn't quite sure what he should (or could) do about that one!!

EASTER

The boys had a great time on Easter morning. Tucker is really getting into searching for the eggs, but as you can see from the picture, he's just not always sure where to check next! Ty loved his new Easter duckie and couldn't wait to get it in his mouth! Thanks Grammy!
