Happy 8 Months Tuck!


Tucker has spent his 7th and now going into his 8th Month here in Florida - he's enjoyed the sunshine, family and new friends while we've been down here.  He's a gem of a boy who LOVES people, LOVES being held (sometimes too much as I cannot tend to his every need as Miss Stella the 3 yr. old can be on the "demanding" side - working on that let me tell ya!) and he LOVES LOVES to giggle and laugh - so anytime you want to make goofy faces with goofy voices or dance goofy for him (as his mommy does) he will be your captive audience NO DOUBT! 












FIRST "Real Food" - Carrots made by mommy :)



 Aunt Snookie - we love this bib you gave us the week Tucker was born :)





And another really cute bib - this one has sentimental value to it as my mom made this using Tucker's Great Grandpa Shorty's shirt (my grandpa).  Grandpa passed away just 2 weeks before Tuck was born :(  He was married to my grandma Stella :)






BLAST FROM THE PAST

Tucker & Stella meet Cousin Rory from Montana for the first time!




Cousin Jodi has been sending random photos whenever she comes across something that has Stella's name in it (Coffee Shop in Denver, Farm in CO...) well - here's our first Tucker pic from Jodi - she now lives in N.C.  Thanks for always thinking of the kiddos Jodi!

 Stella & Mommy Day ♥ and these two girls are prepped for Florida, toes & all! BTW - I like Stella's "outside of the box" mentality....when asked what color she wanted her toes painted she replied "The big toes blue and all little ones Pink!" So that's what she's got going on and I have to say, it looks pretty cute. She picked Purple With A Purpose for me. Thanks for Stella's gift card for pedi Jill those kid pedi panda chairs were too cute!



 Tonya come to the rescue, yet again 
Helps me finish up my packing for FL (THANK YOU!)



ROAD TRIP TO FLORIDA 2013
DAY 1 

 Jumping on the hotel bed after a pretty rough start to our road trip
(it was rough due to my extreme lack of sleep with Mr. Tucker)


 Watching us jump on the bed

Hotel Swim

 Just Chillin in the hotel pool room





And we made it - HALF WAY that is....to G.Aunt Janice & G.Uncle Marks in Georgia!

Justin stayed for a few hours this early evening before he jumped back in his truck and continued onto FL (arriving at 6am 9 hours later)

The kids and I stayed for a few nights to recuperate from our challenging road trip then Janice hopped in the car with me and we made it 12 hours straight to the house - this was a much better road trip day.







 

WE ARRIVE in FLORIDA
(finally!!!)
