Quick Update

Our little guy is growing up so quickly! He is SO busy! The weather has been beautiful, so he constantly begs to play outside. He loves to play basketball as well as run through his sprinkler.

Tucker's new favorite game is "Ring Around the Rosie". He especially likes to fall down as he screams "DOWN!".

Tucker loves to read! That makes my little 1st grade teacher's heart so proud. He is completely obsessed with one book that we pulled from a box from my classroom stuff called Chicka, Chicka 123. We read it at least 3 times each day from start to finish!

Retreat and More Potty

We went to KBA this weekend for a youth retreat. Tuck went along and had a great time. He ran all over the cabin and got whatever he wanted from the youth!

Today was a great day! We had fun together as a family spending time at church (even though Tuck left with quite a mark). This evening we were sitting around visiting with a youth when we heard Tucker grunting from another room. Matt walked down the hall to find him sitting on his potty! He pooped on his potty, but he hadn't figured out how to take his diaper off so it was on. I was so proud of the fact that he understood what to do though!

Easter

We had a great weekend celebrating Easter this weekend. We began the fun on Saturday with a trip to Ada where Tucker participated in egg hunts at both sets of grandparents' houses. He quickly found that there was candy in the eggs, so he stopped after each egg and checked out the candy inside.

While at Nan and Pa's house, Tucker decorated an egg with his cousins. He thought the egg dye was juice and kept spazzing out to get his hands on it. After pulling his egg from the bowl, he proceeded to dump the entire bowl of green egg dye all over himself and me. I declared that one was enough and began to scrub our jaundice looking skin down.

Sunday morning we awoke to lots of rain, so Tucker hunted eggs inside before heading off to church. He was very serious about it, and again he dumped each egg in his basket before moving on the the next. It was so fun to watch him hunt for eggs! He was also surprised with some outdoor toys (a sprinkler, bubble gun, etc.) from the Easter Bunny.

Tucker's Cousin

Last Monday, we went to OKC to welcome Tucker's new cousin, Jackson, into the world. It was a long day at the hospital, but Tuck did great. He played with his big cousins before finally crashing for the night in the waiting room. He's a little unsure about Jack, but it won't be long before Jack joins the group of rowdy cousins!

All the cousins!
