Nothing beats a baby's laugh!

So we have LOVED being able to make Tucker laugh! Seriously, there is nothing better than hearing your baby laugh and giggle! James really got Tucker going and got a little of it on video. ENJOY, we sure did!

Easter fun!

Every year we enjoy having my family over to our house for Easter. It is a lot of fun and we are glad to have that tradition! Tucker wasn't the happiest of campers, but, he LOVED being outside! Here is a pic of my twinner boys! haha. It wasn't planned, but I love it! Both are so handsome!
Everyone loves holding him!
Grandma can't get enough

I found a YUMMY carrot cake to test out on Pinterest and decorated it with M&Ms. It was my first homemade carrot cake and I think it turned out great! I will add this to the Easter tradition. But I WILL remember in the future to have 4 eggs on hand...not 3....so I don't have to run to the store at 10:30p.m. the night before!
Tucker only slept for about 45 minutes total during the day yesterday. He was SOOO overstimulated when bedtime came that it took him a while to go to bed which is SOOO not like him! But it was fun and so worth it! Can't wait until next year=)

Organization, cousins, zoo...oh my!

As like many of you out there, I am obsessed with Pinterest! I love it because I don't have to do all the work of finding blogs, they come to me! So, I have been using the organization ideas I found and recipes a lot lately. The top pic I just got a shoe organizer from Wal-mart and put all my jewelry and hair stuff in them and hung it on the back of the door. Now I have an empty drawer! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner!

The next pic is of the command center I made. I just covered a piece of wood with fabric then hung a mail box, a to do list, a frame with all my weekly, daily and monthly cleaning lists, a calendar and a clip for receipts and whatnot. I love it! Mostly to have a place to put the mail and the calendar. Plus, when I have a cleaning checklist, I tend to do it because I feel satisfied when I check something off! Lame, I know.
I also got the idea of putting all the dumb manuals you get from items like appliances, electronics, tools, baby stuff, etc. in a binder and categorized them! Super easy and out of the way!
This immediately struck me as a great idea on Pinterest! I got a craft organizer box from Hobby Lobby and organized the batteries. James HAS to have every sized battery in our house and he buys them in bulk at Costco and it gets REAL annoying to have them dispersed everywhere in the house. So, now they are easy to find and we won't keep buying AA batteries when we already have 50 of them! (Side note: I also got my label maker out and put what kind of battery goes in each slot. Yeah, I am a BIG nerd!)
I used to have all my scrapbook paper in a plastic drawer thing. But I couldn't set anything on the top of it cuz the weight would make it hard to open the drawers. So, I found these nifty containers at Costco fro $19.99 and got my label maker and organized them. Much easier for me!
NOW on to my cousins babies blessing. Here is James and Tucker! Love them both!
This pic is kind of blurry, but this is me with my cousin Kaci and her boy Jackson. They flew in from Washington for the blessing. Miss them! Wish they lived closer! She is really my only cousin close to my age.
Tucker not looking so happy! haha
My cousin Kaci and her husband Aaron and baby Jackson!
My cousin Kyle who blessed his boy Daken. Daken was due a month after Tucker, but ended up being born 4 days before Tucker...and Tucker was 9 days early!
Little Jackson....he is a busy body! I just know Tucker and him are going to get along GREAT!
My Aunt Robyn and baby Daken hanging out at Kyle's house.

Sorry for all the MANY different events! Just easier to throw it all in one post. We have been glad to be busy! Tucker loves being out and about! This summer is going to be so much fun! I am sure there will be MANY more pics to come=)
