May I offer you a goldfish?

words

We were attempting to get some of Tucker's words on film but he wasn't totally cooperating. I love his words right now and that unless you are used to them they might not mean the same thing to you as they do to me.

And I'll just have to update this as I think of more so I can remember. I pretty much can't be trusted to remember anything long term if it is not written down. Even important things I think I'll never forget, totally forgotten.

And when we drive up the point he always says NatNat right when we turn up the hill. And Bowen as we get close to the Millers house across from FoodLand, and Bussss when we pass PCC where all the buses are parked.

Letters he can say the sound of and recognize thanks to Letter Factory and Mandy and everyone teaching

and a bunch more, but those he knows real good.

It has been raining for a week now. This morning was crazy lightning and thunderstorms. The road was closed because as Doug said, "the river was busting it's guts", so Doug had to come home this morning. Tuck woke up so late at 8 in a great mood after sleeping through the noisiest storm and we had a delicious scrambled egg breakfast.

Then we got a fun family cuddle session!






Take that Dad!


And then we got some more cute pics...






And then the boys went out to play in the puddles. Luckily I don't think anyone on our street got any water in their houses. Here is Linda's house though. Looking kind of close...


Entrance of BYUH when I got to work. The boys are on a bike ride checking the waves at the Red House and now they are coming to visit me at work. I kind of like days like these sometimes. Mornings with us home together and close and having fun. (Minus all those that might be flooding of course.)

I almost don't want to post again because I love seeing those last two pictures so much but this is a close second. I feel real lucky to have these two. And soon another one, another boy at that. Doug is giddy. He keeps reminding me that I'm going to be totally outnumbered soon.



And in case you haven't seen this video yet, this was just a few minutes earlier. It's pretty funny. Some say Doug is just getting what he deserves for peeing on so many people in his life.

This might be the cutest little buddy I ever did see.

friends

I see great things to come with these two. Tucker says "Bowen" now. It's so cute.

blanket

I love how Tuck says blanket lately. With and emphasis on the T.
