UNC Football

Four of my favorite people!  My husband and my three brothers.  

This past Saturday Caleb, Jason, Jordan and Shane went to the UNC football game together.  They all were excited, but especially Caleb and Jordan were pumped.  They had such a great time and UNC won!  It was a great game.  I really love my family.  The older I get, the more appreciative I am.  

Happy Birthday Mom!

On Wednesday my sweet Mom will turn 51!  Because of that, this past Friday night we had her a celebration at Maggianos.  It was a lot of fun.  Caden sure did enjoy his Gigi!  Happy Birthday Mom.  We love you a ton!

Welcome Eli Landon Tucker

Pretty Mama and baby.

Look at all that hair.

That little guy melted my heart.  I could have held him for hours.

Our good friends Ryan and Angie have had a new addition to their family!  Our little buddy Eli has made his grand entrance.  We are thrilled!  He is healthy and a beautiful baby.  Born Sunday, November 8, 9lbs. 8oz., 21 inches.

Angie is the woman!  She labored for 24 hours, pushed for 1 hour and then had a c-section.  You can't get any tougher than that.  She looks great, is so thrilled and such an inspiration to me.  Ryan is so happy too.  You can see it all over his face.  Please pray for Noah.  He can't see his family until they go home Wednesday.  Gotta be tough on the little guy.  Ryan, Angie, and Noah we are so excited for your family.  Love all four of you!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My family!

Homeboy eating Grandaddy's birthday cake.  Can I just say the tray was clean at the end.

Faith, Caden and Jordan acting crazy for sure.  What a great Auntie and Uncle.

This past Sunday we headed to Wilson to celebrate my Dad's 53rd birthday!  We had such a great time.  For dinner we had BBQ chicken and the fixings.  Yes, my Dad cooked on his own birthday.  He insisted.  I guess cooking for his family brings him joy.  I can tell you he brought my pregnant belly joy.  My fav is my Dad's BBQ chicken.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!  We love you a ton.

Happy Halloween!

Doesn't he look like the real Mickey?  This costume was awesome!

Loving his outfit as you can see.

Daddy was pretty thrilled about this fun night himself.

Mommy and Mr. Mickey.

Caden was in awe of this balloon. 

What a great night we had tonight!  Jason, Mickey Mouse and myself went to church for our Halloween event called "Fiesta."  

The night started off with of course getting Caden dressed.  He loved his borrowed costume.  Thank you Tuckers for the contribution!  It was a success.  Caden actually didn't know who Mickey was until tonight.  But tonight, he fell in love with him.  Jason and I laughed the entire time getting him dressed because he was so cute.  Caden also enjoyed looking and laughing at himself in the bathroom mirror.  He loved the costume so much that he left the hat and the gloves on for much longer than I thought he would.  He was a proud little guy.

Fiesta is really a blast for the whole family.  Tons of games, candy, jumpy things, food, cake walk, etc., etc., etc.  Last year Caden went when he was so little.  Tonight we quickly realized he's at a prime age.  Those little legs were moving the entire time.  If his legs weren't moving, his eyes were.  Hope you enjoy our pictures from our time!  

P.S.  I love being a Mommy.  It's so much fun.

Asleep at the wheel...

So Caden's normal routine on a normal day is two naps. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. He is a lover of sleep! Well, on Sundays it's a little different. Because our church starts at 10am he cannot take his morning nap which would normally begin at 10am. I've tried putting him down a little earlier, but he will not sleep. He's always exhausted when we get home from church, but today, the tiredness was exceptional.

I came home to cook him a quick grilled cheese. I wanted his belly full before he went for a nap. He never passes up a yummy grilled cheese, except today. I cooked it, served it and turned my back for 1.5 minutes. You can see the results above. As he fell asleep, there was a piece of sandwhich in his mouth. I forked it out with my finger, wiped him clean and layed my sweet little angel down without a peep.

Walking in Daddy's Shoes

Our son's new favorite event is to try on our shoes.  Here is the little guy standing in Jason's crocs.  We couldn't pass up this picture moment!  What a cutie pie.
