Tucker is ONE!!!

Tears...Tears...and many more Tears!!! 
How can my sweet tiny blueberry of a baby be one already!!! 
My heart is breaking over the thought that I no longer have baby!! But I am rejoicing over this incredible little boy and what a sweet and perfect personality he has and I am so very thankful that he is mine! When we first learned we were expecting another baby...I was thrilled..beyond excited for another baby and a summer baby at that. When I received the that call from the Dr. saying we had lost the baby I was just devistated. I already fallen in love with this baby, and praised Jesus when we found out he was not only ok but farther along than we had thought. His life verse is Jeremiah 29:11 and I cannot wait to see what plans God has for him. 

He has 8 teeth, still not walking but loves pulling himself up to things. He is fearless...loves diving off of our bed and our big chair. He gets into everything and is so quick! He is still VERY happy and so very content but it starting to develop a slight temper. When something gets taken from him he screams and pitches a fit. When he is really mad he will throw his head and he will arch his back. He is finally out of our room and sleeping with sissy during the night...which he now sleeps all night. During the day he sleeps in his crib in the boy's room. Kooper is still waking up thru the night and goes back and forth from his room to ours so we are keeping Tenlee and Tucker together which is working out ok for now. He weighs almost 22 lbs and is right on track for his 1 year checkup.

He likes:
Our dog Gema and the kitty's
being outside
playing in water
being thrown up in the air
leaning backwards and being flipped back
EATING
LOVES his B and his thumb when he is tired
LOVES his mommy!

He dislikes:
swinging
loud noices
being in the barn with loud animals
HATES being put into his carseat...it is a battle everytime

Everything goes in his mouth!
Having fun at VBS
 July 11th-His birthday
 Good Morning Birthday Boy!!!

Tucker's Turtle Party

I decided to do a turtle themed party for my little man..I have literally been planning this since he was just a few months old to be honest:) I LOVE planning birthday parties...I am so very thankful for each of my kiddos so we try to make their birthday incredibly special. I knew I wanted his party to be outside...I already have 3 winter birthdays in our house so I was excited to have a July birthday party to plan. Some friends from our church graciously let us use their tent which was perfect since it ended up looking rainy and was sort of windy out. 
 
  
 
 
 
 
We found these turtles down by the river and they became pets to the kids for a few weeks. They would feed them each day and talk to them...they even named them. They were sort of sad to see them go back to their homes after the party was over. 
 I decided to once again make my own cake. I just hate spending money on food:) I got an angle food cake and then topped it with whipped creme..much easier to clean up and better than heavy toppings. I then just put crushed grahm crackers on the top with his turle and then put some on the bottom to create an ocean look. I was very pleased with how it looked and he LOVED it!

 
 
I LOVE this picture of him!!
She made him his present this year..she colored a page full of little turtles. She was so proud of it!
 
 
 
Just chilling out after his party
 
He will always be my baby boy!
