11 months
This little nugget of sugar is 11 months! Each day is more and more fun with this little sweet boy...but it still doesn't change the fact that he's not allowed to grow up this fast!! He is a little booger....he has us all wrapped around his little finger! He loves the beautiful chaos of our house...and likes to be right in the middle of everything! If Jackson is going potty then we are sure to find Tuck next to him unrolling all the toilet paper...if Bella is playing with her dolls then we are most definitely going to find Tuck in her closet pulling out every piece of doll clothing we own....and when I'm cooking Tucky loves to dig into my pots and pans and create his own music...now if daddy is outside in the yard you better believe Tuck will be waiting by that door for the opportunity to dart our and roam the yard. He's as fast as lightening...and due to his petite figure he can easily squeeze in the smallest crevices! He's mastered crawling up the stairs and giggles the entire way as he glances back so proud of himself to make sure we all de him! He says "dadda" and"mamma" constantly! He loves to greet daddy on the porch when he comes home from work...he squeals and waves while saying "dadda dada dadda!!!" He is an eater...eats everything!! He eats and eats til his Bly button looks like it's gonna pop!! He is in love with balls...and is naturally a good little thrower! He's pulling up on everything possible so I'm sure he will be trying to take his first steps soon enough! He is a pure joy and brightens up our family so much!

3 year old handsome man
Say it isn't so...my snuggle bug can not possibly be three!!!!!? This little guy has stolen my heart...he's full of...(wait, I had to stop for him to smooch me, hug me and give me a thumbs up)....ok back now. He's full of personality, energy, love, tenderness, eagerness, and courage! He is 110% all boy! He loves worms, bugs, trains, trucks, dirt, mud, running, jumping, wrestling, rolling, skipping, balls, bats, weapons, guitars, singing, dancing, eating....and of course eating meat! He is the boy who scales the outside of the trampoline...full of adventure....and the boy who nuzzles in my neck at rest time to sleep. He skips 4 steps as he jumps down the stairs and lands on his feet...yet he greets his friends with a tight squeeze and a kiss on the cheek. Although, he is full of energy, he has grown to love school time! His attention span has grown leaps and bounds the past few months...and he's so proud of himself when he finishes his tracing, puzzles and activities all on his own! He's mastered saying his alphabet, counting to 10, all his colors and his shapes! Go Jack go!
He's my handsome boy who all he asked for at Christmas was "skinny jeans, a "belk" (belt) and a bike"...and he got them all! You will rarely find him without his "belk" on!! He loves to play hard but it's top priority to be looking his best for church!
He loves his sissy and loves to snuggle with her...sleepovers with her are the best! He's my boy who plays bar and sleeps harder...
Ooooo I forgot to mention that He loves tunnels!!!
It's my prayer that the Lord will give us wisdom as we allow him to be wild at heart...yet tamed by the Holy Spirit...fuof adventure yet submissive to the Lord's leading. I pray he is able to fully enjoy playing and running hard as well as serving gently and loving with compassion. Such a privilege to invest in His sweet life! I'm sure this next year will be filled with lots of new and crazy wild adventures!!

5 year old Princess
I can not even believe I am writing the blog entry for a five year old!! It can't be so!! Surely my princess isn't growing up this fast!!? Although, it does make me a little sad that she's growing up so fast...it is such a privilege to have the opportunity to see her grow and mature so beautifully inside and out. Over the past year she has transformed from a preschool/toddler to a sweet, tender little girl! It's so much fun doing things together as she has more independence and interest in activities! We woke up early on her birthday and ventured out to breakfast at Panera Bread. I felt like I was with a fun girlfriend just hanging out people watching and enjoying a cinnamon bagel. :) Then, we headed to Old Navy to get a few cute summer sundresses! My girl has got style...she's such a cutie to shop with!
Daddy came home eat from work and took her out on a date to see the new Cinderella! Of course she dresses up...she was super excited. :)
We have had so much fun learning this year. She has become a diligent little student...she's always loved "school projects" but it was so cool this year to see the pieces all come together for her as she began to read. The joy and confidence she gained through mastering her letters and sounds....reading simple stories as well as mastering writing her letters and numbers. She has a love for drawing and coloring too! I can definitely see that she has lots of creativity flowing. She loves anything princess, anything ballet, anything dress-up, anything doll related as well as all kinds of music and art! In the course of a single day, she averages 6 different outfits....with a few dress up dresses thrown in there! Her locks of hair continue to thicken and she loves having her hair braided in all sorts of ways. She has the most tender heart...now she's a strong girl and has a very strong mind...but she has the sweetest heart that desires to obey and please. It's been amazing to see her heart turn toward spiritual things. She is full of questions as she's seeking to understand and know more about Jesus. She prays the most thoughtful prayers...as she's praying and talking with us about Jesus...I can just see her little wheels turning. It's my daily prayer that she will continue to have a heart sensitive toward spiritual things and a heart that desires to follow Jesus with her whole being. She has such a contagious, fun personality that draws others to her...and it's my prayer that as she seeks Jesus that others will experience His love through her. This coming year will be filled with lots of new adventures for her as she begins Kibdergarten...and going to her new school on Tuesdays! I pray the Lord guides her and guards her in every way. It's truly a blessing to be her mommy. :)

Strawberry Pickin'
Last weekend, we headed north about 20 minutes and went strawberry picking! We went to this same farm last fall where we picked pumpkins...such a sweet farm...full of yummy treats!
We all had lots of fun filling our baskets with scrumptious juicy strawberries!
Tucker loves them so much!!! :)
