Cassie's Baby Shower

While we were in UT, Alli and Cassie's friend Danielle threw a baby shower for Cassie and it was pretty fun. The food was oh so delicious, lots of fun friends and family, so many cute gifts and a few games. Fun was had by all I hope.


So fun to see some old faces from Hawaii. Jess lent Tucker the hat you'll see in the next post. She brought some of her son Charlies winter clothes over for Tucker. How nice.

And it was so fun to see Nancy and baby Van and Miss Heidi and baby Oliver, who is apparently the perfect baby that just sits there and snuggles and relaxes. Van might be a bit more like Tucker! Sorry Nance!

Cassie's beautiful sister-in-law Amy and cutie pie niece Avery.

Brit (without the baby, another sis-inlaw is Quins mom from the other post whose hand tuck was trying to suck off :) and Cassie's friend Megan with a very sweet sleeping baby.


Quite a feast we had.


Avery was the perfect little helper and kept things moving right along.





Uncle Chris with Tuck after a long day, and the cutest little hat that Amy made for baby Thompson. Going to have to get one of those for Tucker when we go back in a few weeks! She has a company Loopty Loo Designs, so go check it out if you think the hat is adorable too :)

So glad I got to be here for this. It was a great day :)

giggling fool

For some reason he thought I was hilarious tonight. And he was making me crack up too. It was a pretty fun weekend with him. We visited friends on Saturday, went swimming with no tears much to daddy's delight. Fun in the bath and shower. Nice relaxing time on the carpet with his cozy blankets. Fun bike ride on Sunday, and no tears in the car ride up to north shore, and being pretty stinking cute and hilarious tonight, just making face and being funny. We're pretty much totally in love with this kid. It's official.


I come over from doing dishes tonight to find this going on.

He does this thing were he sucks his bottom lip and I totally love it.


He's got some pretty funny faces lately.

And can be seen like this many times a day. While we were in UT his love for soft, silky blankets was realized.

toes

We really love this little buddy. He started noticing and being able to reach his feet a few weeks ago. Last week he started being a total thumb sucker and hasn't been into his toes quite as much, but it is a pretty cute phase. Sometimes his feetie pjs get so soaked I have to change them before bed. That also might have something to do with him being the most slobbery baby alive.

missing

Sometimes I really miss these girls. Cute Terrie and wonderful Heidi (who is also very cute). Being married is cool, but I was really blessed with having some fantastic friends to live with during my single years. I just came across this picture and I started really missing them. The best roommates a girl could have while living in town. Terrie, who never minded doing the dishes (how amazing is that) and so much fun to hang around with, and Heidi who took total care of me and both made delicious cinnamon oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. And I can't believe how much has changed in the 2 years since this lovely wedding. 1 more wedding and 3 awesome babies. How exciting. And I really wish that we all lived together still so we could be mom's together. Burbank and Germany are really just too far away sometimes.

sneak preview

Tucker and I made it to UT in one piece by ourselves and are having fun wtih the family. More to come soon!

Cassie's sister in laws daughter Quin came over to visit. Tucker decided it was ok to suck on her hand. I think they'll be good friends :)

we love grandad and nana :)

We had a great time watching general conference with them at home. Hanging around in between sessions. Well Sunday morning this is what we did in between sessions... Saturday morning we were busy getting the golf cart, aka electric car, out of the sand, without it falling off the sand cliff. With the help of some very kind ward members and unsuspecting people on the beach and a very sincere prayer it all worked out just fine. Never a dull moment with Dave around.

We had Nat and her friends over for dinner one night, and I just noticed we forgot to get any pictures of them. But it was fun to meet them and have them over. Seems like Natalie is having a grand ol' time.

Grandad resting after he tore apart the downstairs and organized it all.

He's getting the hang of sucking his thumb. Maybe a bad habit, but really it is so cute.

And in the last few weeks he's really been getting good at using his hands and playing with toys. He is getting pretty vocal as well, i love all the little noises he makes and how he will talk back sometimes. or just randomly yell out.

I love this one: Nana doing crazy eyes with Tucker.

Tucker loves his little perch on grandad's side.

Auntie Linda who is Tuckers surrogate grandma while his are far away. She is amazing and we are so lucky to have her!

Saying goodbye. So sad. So fun to have them to ourselves for a week!!
