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!

Riding Lessons





A few days after we got home, we had a wonderful visit with Grammy. Tucker was so excited, but slightly irritated that Grandpa didn't come too. We assured him that he'll come soon. While she was here, Grammy got to see Tucker at his riding lesson. He's doing awesome, and I couldn't be more proud. After missing two weeks, he didn't forget a thing! My little cowboy.....

Almost done...........




Just a couple more of our trip. I think the one of Mike and Ty is one of my favorites. The one of Tucker and Ty sleeping is our last full day, after Mike had taken Caitlyn and Colton to the airport. The little ones and I had played on the beach one last time, and we finally had to wake Tucker up at 8pm to go to dinner. Ty never did wake up until we returned from dinner and started getting him into his pj's. They were beat, to say the least!! A very fun, but very long week for the babies!!

Fun days






We spent one day at Sea World, which was very cool. Mike and I neither one have ever been to any of the cool parks in Orlando, so we were thrilled to make it there!! Tucker was tall enough to ride one of the water rides, which actually a pretty good roller coaster. He had hilarious looks on his face going down the hills, but loved it and was ready to ride again!!The pic is on a roller coaster in the kiddieland part of Sea World. Ty was wide eyed even at the end of the night!!
The next day, we headed out to the Daytona International Speedway for a tour. We got on the track, into Victory Lane, and got to go up in the Nextel Tower. Mike was in redneck heaven!!!! Even Caitlyn, who was NOT thrilled with the thought of going to a Nascar track, told me she thought it was really neat to see. I don't think we've converted her to a full fledged fan yet though!!

And more.........






Don't get bored, but we have hundreds of pics, so I have to share a few!!

More kid pics








Here's several more pics of our beautiful kids!!

Spring Break






We went to Daytona Beach for Spring Break with all four kids. We had such a wonderful time. These pics are the first day on the beach and the view from our room.

Valentine's Day



We had a wonderful Cupid Day this year. Tucker had a great time making cookies with me-and doesn't he look great as a mini Pampered Chef?!

Pony Ride


We have started a new reward/incentive plan for Tucker, and his favorite reward that he is working for each week is a pony ride at a small ranch. These pics are of his first week there, and he was comfortable as could be on top of that pony. We also started actual riding lessons at another nearby ranch yesterday. I was amazed at everything they did with him on the first day, and especially since he's only four. They taught him the proper way to walk behind a horse, how to brush the horse and clean his feet, and they even let him take control of the reins by himself. When he made the pony, Mercury, walk all by himself, he was proud as a peacock. I was especially impressed, although a bit nervous, when they put him on a lungeline and made Mercury trot. Tucker held one arm in the air!! He did a great job and can't wait for next week!! He'll be ready to rodeo before we know it!

The boys.......







Since crawfish season is in, its about a weekly event at out house. Tucker loves them, and he has alot of fun with daddy preparing to eat them. Ty is just the happiest baby in the world. He smiles all the time, and doesn't fuss much at all. We are blessed!

Tucker's 4th Birthday



I'm only a month behind the eight ball right now, but FINALLY, I'm putting up some new posts! For all of you that have mentioned ever so nicely to me that you've been waiting for new pics.......thanks for regularly checking, and here they are!!


We had a small Chuck E Cheese party with our friends the day before Tucker's birthday, where Tucker had a great time with Riley and Nate. We took him bowling on the big day and had a nice little party at home too. I can't believe he's four already!! Where does the time go?
