McGuire Family Fun

Busy! Busy!

We have been staying busy with lots of activities. With the holidays and things we were able to see lots of family and spend time doing some fun things with the kids. I decided it would be fun to make sugar cookies as a family. It wasn't quite as fun as you would think with Tucker wanting to just eat the cookie dough, but it was something I will remember! Nolan watched, but he got in on the pictures. Sheldon was taking all of the pictures, but he was helping with the cookies too.

Lots of stuff to Update!

Well, I haven't blogged for quite sometime and I have heard that some of you noticed. My friend Jenny said I could bring Tucker over today, so I could get some more stuff done around the house. I am doing ok keeping up with my normal day to day stuff, but I never seem to get to any of the deeper cleaning and organizing stuff, so hopefully I will get some of that done today. Which means this update is going to be a quick one!

Where do we start. Most of you know I lost my grandmother in November, the week before Thanksgiving. (My mom's mom.) She was ready to go and my grandpa is doing well since. Because of the timing of her furneral and things, I was able to get together with my 3 sibilings and their families. My brother lives close to my parents, but my sisters live in Indiana, so my sister's and their families were at my mom and dad's for almost a whole week and we stayed too. That was really nice to get to spend so much time with them. Sheldon had to work, but he drove from there the day or two he worked. This is a picture of my mom and dad and their 6 grandchildren. Oh, and there is another one on the way. We found out that my sister is expecting this summer. That will be her number 2. (If you are counting, that makes 7 grandchildren and Tucker is the oldest at just over 2!)

New Haircut

I got a new haircut and I was going to put a picture, but I didn't like any of them. I will try to put one later. I cut the ponytail for Locks of Love. I told her if I had enough to cut what she needed and then just layer it up. I wasn't sure if I was going to really like it, but I do. I am not really picky and it is easier to fix than my long hair, but I do have to do a little more fixing more often because it won't go back into much of a ponytail anymore. Which as most of you know is my normal style! :)

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!

Just a quick update

Last weekend we visited family in Missouri. It was a lot of fun. Tucker fell asleep on the way down holding Elmo. Elmo has been his new best friend lately. I took these pictures today. Nolan is about 10 weeks old now and about 16 1/2 pounds. They get along really well. I can't wait until Nolan can really interact with Tucker. They should take some good naps when they can play together!
