Tucker's in the lead again

Whitney eating paper while Daddy and Uncle Ryan build the shed

It is WAY too hot out here!! How is it that they can work in this sun! I'm going diaper only style with this monkey Daddy got me.

Tucker in the bucket
Seriously.....
How do you drive this thing? Watch out world. Whitney's at the wheel.

Babies in a bucket. Mom doesn't want to get a kiddie pool before moving. Weird.

Uncle Scotti's ear is really cool. Give me a piece of that!



We've had a lot of craziness and fun this week. Now we are doing the last things we need to do in Utah. The plans for moving and when change daily, so who knows, but there has been a lot of prep work on the house to get it ready for.... whatever. Tucker's second tooth is almost in and his first tooth is razor sharp. And he just so happens to like paper even more, now that he can shred it. They get better and better at sitting up..... and sleeping at night. They've both slept through the night by my definition 5 out of 7 nights. Good. We can get lots done around the house when they go to bed. Except for that one night Tucker wanted to play at midnight. Jim finally gave up and drove him around. Jim discovered the more bouncing, the better, so he was aiming for potholes. The policeman wasn't so amused, but didn't want to hear another Tucker scream, so he let Jim drive "erratically" around the neighborhood (only going about 20 mph) to hit all the potholes. They've tried oatmeal this week and love it. Whitney likes it better than rice cereal by a long shot.

My mom and Scott went home this week after having a s'mores campfire, kayaking (almost in a thunderstorm), babysitting babies while Mommy went to work, and hiking Mt. Timp (we let Scott and Ryan do that one without babies, just to be nice). There's been a lot of shed building since. I haven't talked to Ryan much due to everyone being tired from being out in the hot sun. I think he's doing ok. We did a retry of the kayaking yesterday with a lot more success. I don't recommend pulling three people on a tub behind a kayak. The tube won, but no one flipped.

There should be a video attached somehow. It's a feeding time with rice cereal. Whitney was eating it through her toes, but of course, when the camera came out, she stopped. Stay tuned for next week...

  1. Too cute! Love the babies in the buckets! I still cannot believe you are moving. We'll just have to drive farther to visit!
