SORRY!

WOW-it has been a long time since I posted last! Things have been busy, WORK has been CRAZY, and I have been sick. I am so ready for the cool weather to be here, I love FALL! We are supposedly going to our first cool front next week and I am so excited! I am going to a garage sale this weekend (on Saturday) and spending the day with my cousin and her son so hopefully I feel better. Sorry this post is not so interesting, I dont have pictures because I am in the process of buying a new camera! YAHOO! So hopefully the next post will be picture filled!!!

Hope all is well out there in blogland--I'll be back soon!

I'm so excited...

and I just can't hide it!

I GET TO GO SEE MY SISTER and her FAMILY tonight,

and I'm staying till monday!!

I cannot wait!!

It's like a breath of fresh air!

TUCKER family-HERE I COME!!!!

2 Special Boys

...NEED SOME PRAYER!!!

This special boy is my baby brother Kyle-pictured above with Ty from easter at my sisters house this year-and my borther is going through a WHOLE lot of mess - trials, consequences, sadness, anger, fear, guilt, frustration, hurt - and I am sure more, but he could really use some special prayer right now.

And...this special baby boy is my nephew, Darden who is 6 months old now and he is having some medical tests ran today and maybe more to come but please pray for him to be healthy and strong and to grow big so that he can run and play with Ty soon. (While you are praying for him plesae pray for my sister Audrey and bro-in-law Dusty while their baby is going through this time!!)

Sweet Jesus be near my family is these very differnt times of need!

In you name, Amen.

boys...will be boys

I have always heard the saying "Boys will be boys." It made sense to an extent - that is until I had a little BOY of my own.

I swear boys are just differnt than girls! I don't understand how when I see a spider I want SOMEONE ELSE to come smoosh it...but when he sees a spider he asks for a jar to CATCH it!

This weekend, Daniel mowed the grass and came running in from the back yard screaming for Ty to "COME QUICK." Ty (followed by me, because I wanted to see what was SO important) ran out the back door to find Daniel pointing at a TOAD! EW! I remember playing with snails, and tadpoles, and little bitty frogs when I was little, but I don't EVER recal liking the big, NASTY, slimy, TOADS that can "tinkle" in your hand and give you WARTS!! GAG ME!!

BUT-Ty seems to like them and I like to take pictures so since my camera batteries were dead I used my cell phone-so please excuse the HORRIBLE quality of these next pictures.

THAT BOY with HIS TOAD!!!

That TOAD in the bucket!

p.s. we did let the TOAD go in the front yard before dinner and baths that night (all with a histerically crying little boy who LOVED that TOAD and wanted HIM as a PET!!) so-no TOADS were harmed during this post! :)

Big Green Tractor

Daniel works for Shades of Texas which is an awesome landscaping company (that also does many other things). My Uncle Jon is the owner and Daniel really enjoys working there. He come home tired and dirty 9 times out of 10 but he says he loves that!

Today I got a text message from my Aunt Brenda with this picture of Daniel doing one of his MANY jobs...

It made me think of the new country song that is out right now, Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. I really like this song and maybe one day Daniel will "take me for a ride on his big green tractor, because as long as I'm with him it really don't matter."

I am so in love with that man!!!

New Look

When I started this blog last month I didnt really know if I would keep up with it or not! I know I am very interested in reading the MANY blogs I read but I dont feel like I write near as well as them, so I was afraid I wouldnt keep it updated. I have really grown to love blogging and talking about all things going on in our lives so I might keep this going for a while. (Even if no one reads it.)

I also thought all the templates that blogger has all were very ugly but didnt quite know how to make my blog look better! So I asked my cousin Jennifer how she did her background and she told me to go to this site---and that's where we are now! Isn't my makeover SOOOO pretty??

Who knows, I might change it up again one day, but for now, this is SOOOO much better the one I had before.

Home-Made Pizza ROCKS!

On Monday night, after Ty's frist day of Pre-K I decided to try something different and fun for dinner with Ty. (Daniel had to work late-he didn't get home until close to 8:30 I think) SO--we made HOME-MADE PIZZA! I bought the personal sized already cooked pizza crust, some pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese and baby spinach (since we are trying to eat more variety of vegitables). I also browned some deer-hamburger with a little seasoning for extra-meaty topping.

Basically the pictures say it all-so heres the STORY---

Ty, adding his cheese and my pizza with no cheese yet next to his! He had so much fun being able to do it all by his-self and was very proud!

Basically-Ty LOVES cheese so he got to put EXTRA!

Dont you just wanna kiss those dimpled cheeks! I know I sure do! (By the way-He didn't get those dimples from me-I think they came from his Mimi though since she is the only one I know who has them!)

OH YEAH-I sliced a FRESH jalapenio and put it on the pizza we made for Daniel to eat when he got home-he likes spicy, so he GOT spicy!

Pizza is COOKED, good and cripsy, with a cup of milk, and a salad with ranch! We ate in the living room so we could watch Toy Story.

Doesn't it just look YUMMY!!!

Ty decided to take a picture of me eating since I was taking so many of him.

Ty CHOWING down, he cleaned his plate and at as much as I did, which is usual for him!

THE END-there was no pizza left and we will do this again for dinner!
