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!!

twinners

feels like this should be the first day of school or something :)

ok, real quick before i need to get into bed because i'm sure Tucker is going to wake up a few times this night because the little buddy is really sick. he has a fever and a stuffy/runny nose and wakes up because he can't breathe. i feel so sad for him. but this is at gas chambers last week. i think this photo is awesome (nice work doug) and kind of reminds me of a dali painting, don't you think?

doug always says i put so many pictures of the same thing, and i know it's true, but really it takes much less time to just put them all up rather than sit there and analyze which one to choose. so unless he wants to be the family blogger, this is what you get.

dave and nancy just left (pictures to come in next post) and it was sooo fun to have them here as usual. got some house projects done, some beach time, some shopping, watched conference and some hanging around.

i just went back to work a few days ago and we found a babysitter to watch tucker until doug takes off in two weeks and it was really sad to leave him, but i feel good about it for now and can't wait for doug to be a stay at home dad for awhile.

but, i do get kinda sad when i come home and realized he's been practicing turning from his back to stomach all day and is pretty much a pro at it by the time i got home. so cool how quickly he gets the hang of things. have to make sure not to put him on the edge of the bed anymore, and maybe be a bit more careful about leaving him on the changing table. and it makes me really appreciate every minute i have to spend with him and i'm totally looking forward to weekends because i get to see him every minute. but it's nice to be back at work and being productive and getting things back in order over there.

anyway. i love these two boys. they are pretty cute if i do say so myself. i love laying on my side and tucker on his and talking and hanging out. i'm really starting to love being a mom. month three is WAY better than month one. and i'm so glad i made it becuase it's all seeming very worth it now. i bet you're glad to hear that mom. you were a bit worried there for a second weren't you.

alligators

so he's not really strong enough for this bumbo yet, and after a bit he ends up with his face on the side arm with some spit up there too, but he's not crying so i figure he's fine, right?

thanks for the hat and good times auntie holli :)
