Trick or Treat 2011

2011-11-06T21:20:00.000-08:00

This was Tucker's first Halloween! We went as the pirate family with our little monkey! We had a great time as always with the Warnock family trick or treating in their neighborhood. Carson and Mallory did a great job trick or treating together....so much fun!

StoneyRidge Pumpkin Patch

2011-10-30T22:03:00.000-07:00

This was Tucker's first trip to the pumpkin patch at StoneyRidge Farms. The boys took their annual "How Tall this Fall" picture, picked out their pumpkins, tasted apples and pumpkin donuts, took a hay ride, went through the corn maze, rode the train and saw the fabulous pumpkin decorations! We love this family activity!

Fall is here!

2011-10-30T18:29:00.000-07:00

Carson and Tucker love when Grandma Bonnie and Papa Alan come to visit (which is at least once a month). It was a beautiful fall day so we decided to take a walk to enjoy the beautiful fall leaves!

Fall 2011

2011-10-30T18:19:00.000-07:00

The boys are both doing so well. Carson loves preschool and continues to want to learn as much as possible. Tucker is loving life. He is the happiest baby (smiling and talking a lot) and loves watching the world around him. Lately he has been trying new foods since he has his 2 bottom teeth. Some of Tucker's favovite foods include peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, apples and homemade squach!

September 2011

2011-09-30T21:13:00.001-07:00

Well is has been a busy month with Mommy going back to work with a new job so the boys have been going to Candys' 3 days a week and Lori's 2 days a week. We so appreciate the wonderful people in our lives!

Carson started Preschool at Laural Baptist Community Preschool on September 20th. He is loving learning about God, making new friends and becoming so independent!

Tucker will be going to MOPS with Candys this school year! Tucker continues to be a very content and happy baby! He is 5 months old now and is starting to get his first tooth! He is so much fun and just adores his older brother. It is so cute to see the love and brotherly bond Carson and Tucker have for each other. Tucker lights up when he sees his brother and Carson is the best at getting Tucker to laugh. Two sweet boys!

2011-08-31T22:25:00.000-07:00

The boys had a blast during harvest this year. Carson went out every morning and rode in the combine with Papa Alan. Tucker would hang out at the farm and go with Grandma Bonnie to take the lunches out to the field. Carson is still playing harvest with his toy combine and truck.

VBS

2011-08-03T14:52:00.000-07:00

2011-08-03T14:27:00.000-07:00

On Saturday we met up the Balzer Family for our annual trip to the Woodland Park Zoo. Carson was excited to introduce Tucker to them and I think Aspen was excited too because she has a baby brother Easton who is 6 months old. We saw lots of animals and even got to feed the giraffes and birds!

Tucker is 3 Months Old!

2011-08-03T09:05:00.000-07:00

Tucker is a healthy 3 month old baby! Last week I took Tucker in for his 3 month shots since he is on the alternative vaccination plan like his brother was on so he gets all his shots just spread out over time. Tucker weighed 17 lbs 12 oz. He is cooing, laughing, smiling a ton, and just started to roll over from his belly to his back (kind of more like pushes up and falls to the side but a good start to reaching another baby milestone!).

Boulevard Park in July

2011-08-03T08:50:00.000-07:00

We went to Boulevard Park on Sunday with our brave friend Nicky who loved picking up the crabs and Carson loved flipping the rocks over to find the crabs! There was music, entertainment, food and ice cream....fun day! Tucker enjoyed being outside and watching his big brother play!

We had a great time at the cabin on Lake Roosevelt. It was Tucker's first long car trip to Eastern Washington....he did a great job and didn't slow us down one bit....so proud of you Tucker Bug! Grandma Bonnie and Papa Alan were super excited to see all of us. Aunt Jenny and her boyfriend Jon and his 2 daughters Karlee and Parker joined us for the weekend. All the kids had fun playing together. We all went to the firework show at the casino. Tucker got all bundled up but slept through the loud bangs of the firework show. Carson enjoyed playing in the water, building sandcastles, and driving the boat. Tucker is such an easy going baby he just went with the flow. Tucker went on his first boat ride and seemed to like it! Thanks Grandma Bonnie and Papa Alan for a great weekend at the cabin we all had a great time!

Tuesday was Carson's last day of MOPS and got to go to the Plagerman's and ride on their horse, Sugar! Wednesday, we road tripped to the Everett Children's Museum with the Warnock Family! It was a beautiful day to play on the play structure on top of the museum. We all had a good time...so much fun the boys fell asleep on the drive home and were both in bed asleep by 7 pm. Thursday, we went out to mommy's school to visit her 3rd grade class. We brought the kiddos cookies for doing so well on the MSP....it was fun to see all their smiling faces!

At 6:30 a.m. mommy and daddy went to St. Joseph hospital for mommy's appointment to be induced. Around 8 a.m mommy had an iv started and things were pretty slow so Grandma Bonnie and Papa Alan brought Carson to the hospital see mommy and daddy. At about noon mommy got an epidural and the dr. broke her water which meant active labor had started. Mommy and daddy watched a movie (How do you know) to pass the time while things progressed. Around 6:45 p.m. Dr. Kaepernick said it was time for mommy to push. It took about 5 pushes and at 6:59 p.m. Tucker Marcus was born! Tucker weighed 9 lbs. 7 oz and was 21 inches long...big boy just like his brother!

Pumpkin Fun Day

2009-10-03T21:29:00.001-07:00

I began my day with finger painting in my p.j.s.

After I got ready this morning my mom made pumpkin pie playdough and I played with it for a long time. It smelled good enough to eat!

It was a cool but sunny day so I played in the rocks with my tractor for a while.

Then I needed a snack so I had a juicy apple.

Later my mom and dad took me to the Young Life Pumpkin Patch which is where I go to daycare 2 days a week at the Plagermans.

I picked out a few pumpkins.

A picture of me with my pumpkin.

I ran around the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin. Candys even gave us a pumpkin bar while we there... she is so nice and a great baker!

When I got home I decorated one of the pumpkins. Then when I was finished my mom just washed it off so I can do it again and again!

Pumpkin Fun Day was a blast! I love Fall!

Riding around in the wheat truck with Aunt Jen, mama and dada. We hauled a few loads into the grain elevators. So much fun!

Happy Father's Day, Dada! I love you so much!
Bringing Dada his Father's Day presents.

Dada is opening the present from me. He said he really liked it and took it to work to hang on the wall so he can think of me while he is at work.

I made the world all by myself for the best dad in the world.

I am learning more and more words daily. I love this transportation puzzle and know most of the names of each vehicle..."boat"

Ah, found the sail boat.

This is my favorite vehicle "bus".

So proud of myself for completing the puzzle.

Corn on the cob is my favorite vegetable right now. I mimic my mama when she touches it and says "hot" then I wait until she gives me the okay to eat it...yummy!

Howdy partner!

Helping mama sweep the floors in my pjs.

I love to listen to music and scarf dance.

The best part is when my mama and dada cover me in scarves.

Scarf dancing is so much fun!

I like to say "wee" when I swing.

I love to go in and out of the little playhouse under the slide.

Happy Easter

2009-04-12T22:25:00.001-07:00

Look what the Easter Bunny left me this morning!

Last year I was able to sit inside of this basket, not this year.

Wow! I thought I better dump everything out so I could really see what was inside.

I played with the water table for 2 hours this morning, putting eggs down the slide. I am going to love it outside with water when the weather warms up.

So much fun!

Thought maybe I saw the Easter Bunny in Harrington on Stone Farms?

Spring Break

My first time to Riverfront Park was fun! I couldn't stop laughing at the birds catching bread with their beaks

I also got to go on the carousel and watch the horses go up and down.

My mom, Grandma Bonnie, Auntie Great and Ilona all went to Chuck E. Cheese.

I had a great time exploring everything.

The pizza was yummy! I picked all of the sausages off my Grandma's pizza and ate them.

I also liked pushing all of the coin buttons.

My mom and I drove to Harrington to visit my Grandparents and Great Grandparents. I had fun playing outside with my wagon full of Easter Eggs.

Grandma Bonnie showed me how collect the eggs in my basket.

I dyed Easter Eggs and took them to both sets of Great Grandparents.

Early Easter Basket from Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Alan. They also got me a slide which I think I will really enjoy this Spring/Summer.

Hanging out with Grandpa Alan.

Today was my 1st Birthday! Happy Birthday to me! My Grandma Bonnie flew to Bellingham last night so I got to spend the whole day with her today. It was a great day!

I played hide-n-seek with my Grandma Bonnie in my tunnels this morning.

Thank you Grandma Bonnie for a special 1st Birthday!

A little update on what I've been up to...I am currently a wobbly walker, taking 4-5 steps at a time and getting more brave everyday. I have 9 teeth already and working on 3 molars...ouch! I love dancing, puppies, cars, art and playing with friends. It is so much fun to be ONE!
