Man, does time fly by! I can't believe it has been so long since I last REALLY blogged. Here is an update of what has been going on in the past 3-4 weeks. Brace yourself for a long post!!
Us Sailor girls got together for a MUCH needed craft day! And I mean a FULL day of nothing but crafts we have all been meaning to get done. I brought 5 full totes full of stuff including my silhoutte cameo for doing vinyl and whatnot for everyone. I got lots done! Here is just one of my many projects I got completed. Thanks Pinterest for the idea. I just painted my knife block white then put vinyl on it and sanded the edges. I also bought little number stickers that coordinate with the knifes so I know where each knife goes=) I love how it turned out!
We rarely go out and eat since we have Tucker, but we ventured out and went to good ol' Sizzler. He did really well and found a new love for raisins! He LOVES them! He gets his little thumb and pointer finger and pinches them so carefully. So cute! He does this really funny thing where he blinks for a long time. I just happened to get a pic of it while at Sizzler. He does it a lot when he is excited or when I get mad at him. I think he does it like he is disappearing or something when I get mad at him. haha. So fun to see his little personality coming out!
For Halloween I was debating whether to go all out or not since it was his first Halloween. I opted to just borrow a costume my brother had. Cutest giraffe I have ever seen! I figure I will wait to spend money on outfits when they get to an age when they really want to dress up as something.
This year rather than going and making so many rounds to relatives homes, my grandpa decided to come to my parents to hang out so he could see all the kids at once. I love this pic of him with Tucker!
Here is my mom with all the kids. Connor is the storm trooper of course. He has been OBSESSED with storm troopers from birth I think! Then Braxton is Indiana Jones. Miley is a cute witch. (my sister made her a really cute witch skirt but forgot it, so this is her substitute skirt). Then Bailee is a princess. LOVE them all!
I had to work Halloween night so James got to make the rounds. After my parents he went to his parents. Here are jut some of the cousins. So fun to see them all growing up!
Have I mentioned that Backyardigans are Tucker's FAVORITE!?? He's obsessed! I am so glad it is a way cute show and I love it as well! I sing the songs to him and dance. He loves dancing to the music. He claps and bounces uncontrollably. I have to say though, he has GREAT rhythm!
I took this pic when we were at Joann's and James said I should send it out as Thank You cards since the cart says Thank You! So, don't be surprised if you get this as a thank you card in the mail=)
Tucker is so lucky to have such great grandparents!! This is a cute pic of my dad with Tuck watching Backyardigans. People die when they see how obsessed he is with Backyardigans.
Tucker is cruising around like crazy now!! He is also obsessed with this walker! First thing he does when he wakes up is grabs this thing and he is off until bedtime! No joke! I am glad though cuz he is SOOOOO close to walking! He stands by himself and took a couple steps today. So, any day now!! So fun to see him grow up! Sad though, too.
Tucker has been sick for what seems FOREVER, but that doesn't stop him! Every tuesday and thursday I get to watch my niece for an hour or so and Tucker was sick but he just pushed her around for a good 20 minutes! I wish I had that kind of energy! Imagine the possibilities! I would get so much done!
He loves the dogs and loves watching them run around outside!
We went shopping a couple time with my sis in her car and Tuck got to ride forward facing. He LOVES it! He also loves sitting next to his cousins who entertain him! I would like that better too if what I normally got was staring at the back of a seat everywhere I went!
This shopping adventure we brought Connor along.
And, this has been the story of my life it seems the past few months. Our "Blue Boo" (Blue Malibu) that we purchased from James' grandma about 4-5 years ago, has finally breathed its last breathe. It has been a great, old, grandma car..but we are definitely needing a newer, more reliable car. Especially since we have Tucker now. I am excited to get a new car, but NOT looking forward to a car payment! BOO!! We have prolonged this long enough, and it is time I guess. We are going this week to find a car, wish us luck!!
Seriously, I love these men! What a great pic! James can REALLY get Tuck laughing! Especially before he goes to bed cuz he is super slap happy! Love it!
And to end this post I thought I would leave you with a cute video to make you smile today! (side note: James took this video HENCE the snotty nose and messy face! haha.)
ENjOY!!!!!
