Tucker is 2!!!

Tucker turned 2 on November 2nd. We had his birthday on Saturday the 1st. I made this cake. I had lots of fun and it turned out ok, but the picture does it quite a bit of justice.

Nolan was worn out quickly by all of the company.

Tucker wasn't actually feeling very well, so he wasn't the entertainer that he normally is.

He did brighten up toward the end of the party, but he waited to have some cake and ice cream until the next day when he felt better.

The robe was one of his many birthday presents and he really likes everything he got. Everyone knows him pretty well! Thank you to all of the family that could make it and hopefully he will feel better for his next party!

Big Boy Underwear (kind of)

We have been trying lots of different things to help Tucker start to figure out the potty thing. He doesn't really seem to care much, but we keep trying. We decided to get him some big boy underwear and this is what happened. He did this by himself! He was being pretty goofy that night.

They are put away for now, but we'll see how it goes again soon.

Baseball room

We have been slowly transitioning Tucker's room into a 'big boy' room for a little while now. The walls aren't colored to match the theme, but I did want to make him some new curtains and a blanket for his bed. Tucker's grandma Patty made him a fleece quillow and letters that match perfectly. She also found him the baseball bean bag chair at a garage sale the other day. Tucker loves to play any kind of ball too, so he is pretty excited about his room.

Stop and smell the...flowers!

After bible study this morning, my little guy decided to stop and smell the beautiful flowers that line the sidewalk into the building.

He is such a good reminder to stay on track and not get in too much of a hurry!

Cheese!

Tucker's friend, Tommy, had his second birthday on Saturday the 7th. I think all of the kids had fun. Here is Tucker saying "cheese"!

Financial Peace University Jr.?

Sheldon and I have really enjoyed the Financial Peace University. We are sitting in on the class again, as a refresher. We have much more confidence in how we are doing things now than we did before. It has been a huge blessing to us. We didn't realize it was impacting Tucker so much though. I was balancing the checkbook one day and left it only for a moment. When I returned I found this.

He had no idea what he was doing, but I thought it would be a good picture to send to Dave Ramsey and tell him that we were starting early, really early!
