Poor Baby Tucker

Tucker was really sick last week. How sad for him. And how sad for us. He had a super high fever and was really freaking us out. 103.5 as the highest, but that's high enough as far as I'm concerned. Up all night to make sure he didn't catch fire. After 2 days we headed to Kailua to the Docs office and a rash had just started appearing on his stomach. But I forgot to mention that right off, so after seriously torturing poor Tucker for about an hour, or you would think we were torturing him since it took us 4 people to look in his ears and the people in the next building could hear him for sure. So glad Jake was there with us :) But then we mentioned the rash and she said, "Oh, it's Roseola." High fever for a 2-3 days followed by a rash on the stomach for a day or two. This is what it looks like. By this point he was back to happy and no fever. But it looked bad. It's not supposed to itch or bother him or anything, but how sad looking.



But this was the same day, so you see he wasn't doing too bad. But it was scary looking!



So glad uncle Jake was at the docs with us! What a nightmare to do alone. I saw a friend there with 4 kids by herself and I was just thinking that is insane. I can't even go alone with Tucker! My oh my how things will change I suppose.


Tell me these toes aren't cute. I love how he rubs his toes together while he's eating.

Well hello there...

i'm kind of excited to watch this...

Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration

A motion picture about the life and legacy of Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"People around the world now have a new way to learn about Joseph Smith, the founder and first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A film called Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration is now available online, marking the first time the Church has shared a full-length film on the Internet."

"The film will also help people better understand Latter-day Saint belief in modern prophets, the purpose of temples, and the eternal nature of family relationships. There is also additional context around historical events such as the First Vision — when God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith when he was 14 years old." Read more here...

bike rides

Tucker loves going on bike rides with his dad. It's probably his favorite thing to do. He's been liking it with uncle Jake these days too. Even though sometimes it starts raining, or it's suuuuper windy, or kind of chilly, it doesn't even matter.

And he totally lounges in this thing and puts his feet up and taps away. He's still too small for the straps to fit, but he's in there pretty good. Don't be alarmed.

How can you not love these two?

And if you notice, Tucker has his tongue sticking out. That is pretty much the way he rolls these days. He's soon to be getting his top 2 front teeth! They are oh so close to coming down. All of a sudden I'm kind of nervous for them to come because then he's going to start looking so big and I'm going to want time to really start slowing down.

Holli-Aynn Cart

Happy Birthday Holli :)

We all went to stay the weekend at Ko'olina on the west side and it was sooooo fun. We hung out at the pool, went on the slide, under the waterfalls, and hung out at the beach. Tucker loved the pools. And we bbqued and had soooo much good food and enjoyed the awesome sunset. And there was a perfect closet for Tucker to sleep in and the place was so nice.

Thanks Holli for an awesome birthday and getting us over to the west side. We love you!

The awesome place we stayed in...




"learning" with enos.

have i mentioned...

Not sure, but have I mentioned how much I love this kid? And how much he makes me laugh. He is really so much fun I could hardly stand to put him to bed tonight.

I love when he crashes in for a quick cuddle like this.



I believe I mentioned he can fit a ping pong ball in his mouth. Just one of his many party tricks.



And finally, all hail King Trix.



I really do love this kid.

date day to pt. reyes

Thanks to Nana Nancy and Aunties Joslin and Ellie, Doug and I were able to get away for the day and drive down to Pt. Reyes Lighthouse and see "the only place I've been wanting to go for so long" as Doug likes to say about almost everything :) But I'm so glad we got the chance and made the trip. So nice to drive in the car without being anxious that Tucker is going to start screaming at any moment. So nice just to hang out with Doug all day. So nice to go on a fun road trip. It was sooo windy there. And so green and blue and beautiful. The lighthouse stairs were closed, so that was a bummer, but overall, this day was a 10.

And apparently Tucker was an angel all day. Bonus.



















Guess who was really excited to see this smiley face when she got home.
