Snow and Progress!

2010-01-30T15:18:00.000-08:00

We had a big snow yesterday and here is just a few pictures. Tucker hated it at first but "warmed" up to shortly after we show him how to throw snowballs. We all had such a good time. Sledding and making a snowman and snow angel. To see more pictures check out Shauna's facebook page.

Well before all this snow we got yesterday, we made some progress on the house. The framing has begun.

Our Junior Contractor! Such a help to Daddy!

Tucker's First Pet

2010-01-04T12:42:00.001-08:00

We found the idea to make a fish bowl out of an old bubble gum machine and we thought we can do that. Shauna's parents had an old machine, so while were up there for Christmas we asked if we could have it and they said yes. So we came back to town and started on the process of cleaning it up and making the bottom of it waterproof. Today, Tim went to petsmart and picked us up the healthy, prettiest Betta Fish. So he brought him home and we adjusted him to the water temperature and than let him free in his new bowl. We decided to name him Bubblegum.

Tucker's 2nd Birthday Party

2009-11-16T11:17:00.001-08:00

Well, we had Tucker's second birthday party this last Saturday. It was so much fun and I think Tucker had a great time. Thank you everyone for making this day so special for him and for us.

Time with Grandparents and the School Carnival

2009-10-12T12:32:00.000-07:00

Well these pictures are in backwards order but they made it here regardless. Last Saturday, we went to Tim's school carnival. We had a great time eating carnival food and playing little games like duck pond and mini-golf. But I do have to say that the highlight was that Tim got in the dunk tank. He is such a good sport because it was way too cold that day and it kinda hurts to be dunked so many times but the kids love it. Fortunately, they had wet suits and swim caps this year to help the teachers stay warm.

Also, the end of September Tucker and I went up to IL to spend some time with my parents and for me to get to go to see Phantom of the Opera with my mom and sis and other family. We had a good time but we sure missed Daddy. We skyped with him everyday as you can see below and that helped. Tucker spent lots of time with his grandpa riding tractors and playing cars.

and all those other crazy relatives I miss so much!!!! Love, Tucker-Bug

Sorry there isn't much new pics but I will try to be better about taking more photos and videos. He keeps me so busy, I don't have an extra hand to take pictures and videos too!

Middle of the Summer

2009-07-01T13:21:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess most of you have heard by now but Tim has gotten his old job back and we are staying put. We are very happy and glad to know our future! We are still trying to sell our house and also our project house. Prays for both of those would be much appreciated! Here are some pictures and a video to enjoy!

Some pictures of us and that's all.

2009-06-13T18:09:00.000-07:00

So we are still clueless as to our future but that isn't stopping life from being busy! We just got back from visiting family in Texas and we are now settling in to a routine of Tim working on our project house and Tucker and I keep busy not destroying our house (that is for sale and getting shown from time to time.) So enjoy the pictures and we will let you know of our future just as soon as we do!

For all those that miss Tucker.....

2009-05-01T05:41:00.000-07:00

even the ones who see him everyday! Daddy!

Family Pics

2009-04-06T16:14:00.000-07:00

We took some family pics last Saturday and it was a very windy day!!

Finally an Update...

2009-03-25T11:46:00.000-07:00

Tucker is every day changing and growing into a big boy! Here are a few pics to show you how he has changed. Also we welcomed a new niece to our family so that makes a totally of two nephews and two nieces for us. Her name is Jenova and she is just as cute as she can be!

Valentine's Day

2009-02-16T07:16:00.001-08:00

This year Tim and I had a wonderful Valentine's together. We started the day with his gift of tulips. Than we went to our nephew's 4th birthday party. After the party we left Tucker with Tim's parents to stay with them overnight (1st time for us) and we went to the movie "New in Town" starring none other than Harry Connick Jr. After the movie, Tim surprised me with a trip down memory lane and also a trip down to Arkansas to eat at our special date spot, The Marketplace Grill (they closed the one in J-town). After the meal, Tim surprised me with another present, he took me to get my nose pierced. I was a little nervous but it really didn't hurt and was over before I knew it. After that, we drove home and enjoyed yummy chocolate covered strawberries that our friend Jamie made. We got to sleep in the next morning and even go out for Starbucks breakfast before meeting Tucker at church. Overall, it was a great day and we had so much fun just talking in the car. Thanks Tim, you are the best.

Long overdue update!

2009-02-16T07:02:00.000-08:00

This is a picture I took and turned in for the Regis and Kelly's beautiful baby search, we will see if he wins!
We had a nice day late January and we took Tucker to the park, he had so much fun on slide and swings.

We went to IL and visited family and friends recently. Here is a picture of Shauna's friend Katie and her beautiful daughter Khloe.

We had another nice but windy day recently and we took a walk with the stroller around the neighborhood. Tucker sported his 101 dalmation sweatershirt.

I just think this picture is so cute!

Tucker's New Look

2009-01-15T13:18:00.000-08:00

So the time approached for Tucker to get his haircut. I had enough of people calling him a girl and it was starting to resemble a mullet. Both myself and Tim were hoping that it would start to curl like Tim's did when he was little but no such lucky. Tucker had a little curl but not much. So Here is a before shot:

And than, I had a go at cutting it but it turned into more of a bob, and also he would not stay still long enough to cut anything other than the back.

So I took him to Mastercuts and he again would not sit still. The girl was very good but we both could not get him to sit still long enough to do a trimmed cut. So Finally, I just told her to use the clippers on all of it and here is how it turned out....

My little boy looks so grown up now!!! We will probably let it grow out again but for now his hair is as short as his daddy's!

2008-12-08T06:28:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone, we finally got a new camera. So here is the update. The first two pics are from the tree farm where we got our Christmas tree. The third pic is our family picture, we had Aunt Aubri take. And the last two pictures are of our Christmas tree and the stockings (very sad that we don't have a fireplace to hang our stocking on but the TV cabinet works too.) If you look in the background of the stocking picture, you can see Tucker's one year pictures.

Tucker's 1st Birthday Party

2008-11-23T18:39:00.000-08:00

This Sunday we had Tucker's puppy party, it was so much fun. He loved all his fun new toys and mommy was grateful for all the new clothes. Tucker loved his cupcake. He ate almost the whole thing.

ONE Great Day for Tucker!!

2008-11-19T17:41:00.000-08:00

Today, Tucker turned one!! We spent the early part of the day receiving phone calls, facebook messages and visitors with presents from some of our family and friends. After Tim got off work, Tucker received his present, a new tool bench. After that we went out for dinner and went and got some pictures taken to celebrate the big day. Thanks to everyone who made this day so special for all of us. Also sorry that there are not more pictures, but our camera broke! Of all the times for our camera to break, on Tucker birthday, right before the holidays.

This was the cake we let Tucker destroy for his pictures at penny's. A ballon from one of his girlfriends.

In the Dog House...

2008-11-19T17:30:00.000-08:00

Tim made Tucker a "castle" but to me it looks more like a dog house for my cute little puppy!!

Vandals

2008-11-04T16:02:00.000-08:00

Recently, two of Tim's students have been leaving him gifts on his car. We looked out the window on Sunday to see them in the process of leaving another gift for him. Before they have wrote on his windows and toilet papered his car but this time they were leaving him jonas brothers posters. We decided that we would pretend we never saw them and let them continue their prank. However, we never expected to come back from our walk to this....

Halloween

2008-10-31T16:31:00.001-07:00

If you can't tell Tucker is a dalmation, Tim is a firefighter, and Shauna is the damsel in distress that the brave duo rescued.

Walking Like Crazy

2008-10-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

Update!!!

2008-10-04T17:28:00.000-07:00

Well things have been crazy around here but I was reminded by my sis that I needed to post some more pictures.

Here is Tim brushing Tucker's teeth. He loves it!! The toothpaste must taste good.
Here is a picture of our living room. Tim painted the top half a cream color to help bring light into the room.

Here is a ten month picture. He is getting so tall and putting some more weight on.

Here is Tucker's new hiding place. I turned my back for a minute to put some clothes in his closet and when I turned around I couldn't find him, I searched the house for like five minutes before I found him coming out from under his changing table. Sneaky boy, never made a noise when I was calling his name!

Here is a picture of Tucker with Tim's great-uncle Woody, we went to see him for his 90th birthday party!

I just love this picture of my boys!!!

Here is a video of the teeth brushing.

Grammy's Video

2008-09-12T08:08:00.000-07:00

Here is a video for Shauna's mom. She fell off a ladder and fractured her hip and shoulder and has to have a pin put in her hip. Tucker wanted to make her a video to let her know that he is thinking about her and wants her to feel better. I LOVE YOU GRAMMY!!!!!!

Fun Times on the Lake

2008-09-03T17:27:00.000-07:00

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to my parent's lake house in Kentucky. We had a fun time riding the boat and jet ski and playing in the water. We even got to see my (Shauna's) great uncle and aunt and family.

Tucker fell asleep as soon as the boat got moving, it seemed to have rocked him to sleep.

9 months and under the weather

Our new house

2008-08-07T07:33:00.000-07:00

Sorry the pics took so long to get up but none the less here they are. We still need to landscape the front of the house and dress it up a bit and also we have a garage planned for the back of the house. But for now we are pretty settled in here.

A Few Cute Pics

2008-08-07T07:04:00.001-07:00

Tucker, mommy's little puppy dog

Mommy got a baby bike trailer for her birthday and we tried it out the other day. He seemed to like it but he got tried by the end of our trip.

Since he can now stand up in his crib, it has made nap time somewhat difficult. The other day we went in to check on him and he had slumped over and fell asleep on his own.

And finally, Tucker has learned to crawl!! It is interesting to seem him travel all around the house. He even finds fun places to play, like under our kitchen table.

A Little Late But 8 Month Pics

2008-08-07T06:54:00.000-07:00

Since we moved shortly after Tucker turned 8 months, I never posted the pics. Here are a few...

Swimming with my friend Emery

2008-07-17T09:18:00.000-07:00

Trip to Grammy & Grandpa's House

2008-07-17T09:02:00.000-07:00

We took a little family trip to see Shauna's parents and some of Shauna's extended family in early July. Tucker was able to see his great grandparents while there and he was also able to meet some family that had never seen him before. He was especially excited to meet his second cousin Rory. Rory was so sweet with him. Here are some pictures of our trip.

St. Louis Zoo

2008-07-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

While visiting Grammy and Grandpa, we took a trip to the St. Louis Zoo. It was very hot but it was so fun to see all the animals. Tucker did so well but he was so tired he fell asleep at the end of the tour. One of our favorite parts was when we saw the elephant giving himself a bath.

A Fourth of July Family Photo Shoot

2008-07-05T16:01:00.000-07:00

Introduction to Casey Sunday Dinner

2008-06-30T11:28:00.000-07:00

Tucker had his first taste of Grandmommy's Sunday Dinner this Sunday. We gave him a taste of mashed potatoes (No, Grandpa, they did not have butter or salt on them!)

I LOVE TOYS!!!!!

2008-06-30T11:17:00.001-07:00

Tucker has been playing with toys for a couple months now but lately he has been able to pick out which toys he wants to play with all by himself. Also he has been pulling up on the toy basket, so he can reach his toys better. The only problem is that he is.....

pretty tried when he is done playing.

Tucker's New Hairstyle

2008-06-30T11:08:00.000-07:00

Tucker's hair is finally getting a little length , so we thought we would try to style it a little. Last weekend, we tried the in style faux-hawk. Plus, Tucker wanted to be just like his Uncle Chris (who also has a faux-hawk). What do you think???

Tucker's mail from Italy

2008-06-30T11:00:00.000-07:00

Today, Tucker got a picture in the mail from his cousin Jacob. He drew a picture of them hunting for frogs!!!! Tucker loved the picture and we hung it on our fridge!!!! Thanks Jacob, we love you all and miss you bunches!!!!! Here are a few pictures of Tucker opening his mail.

The Walker

2008-06-20T14:09:00.001-07:00

Tucker has a walker at his Tata and Grandmommy's house and he has learned to move about the kitchen and dinning room. The only problem is......

he can only go backwards!!!!!! Maybe someday he will learn to go forwards.

7 Months!!!!!

2008-06-20T14:01:00.000-07:00

We had a little trouble taking Tucker's seven month pictures yesterday because we were dealing with a cranky baby and a missing camera. We finally took some pictures but with a different camera. The first picture, Tucker had just awoke from a nap and was not happy!!! The rest are okay but very blurry. So maybe next month will be better.

Teething Biscuit

2008-06-20T13:40:00.000-07:00

Tucker's Grandmommy bought him some teething biscuits and we decided to see if he would like them. If you remember me mentioning he is not really a big fan of the Gerber Puffs, so I was not quite sure how he would like some more food he would have to chew. He.......

loved it!!!!!!! He chewed on it awhile and got pretty messy (I recommend feeding them while in diaper and in a highchair). We all had fun watching him eat it.

Here is a little video of the experience too!!

Like father, like son!!

2008-06-10T13:44:00.000-07:00

Enjoying an afternoon of reading at the Casey home!! We start the reading early, are you proud Tata?

Tucker Update

2008-06-10T13:08:00.001-07:00

Well, I guess that we are slow at updating our blog but we will try to get better. Tucker has developed quite a little personality these last couple of weeks. He loves to play with toys and make these squealing sounds while he plays. He also loves to eat!!!! Every time we try a new food he is skeptical at first bite but by the second bite he loves it and opens his mouth wide to eat more. We tried to give him some Gerber puffs to snack on, but those were not his favorite. He seems to not like the texture but I think they are slowing going to be a favorite treat. Tim let him lick his apple this morning and he loved it!!!!! Not a surprise, since he gobbles down his applesauce!!!!!

Tucker is 6 months!!!

2008-05-20T08:38:00.000-07:00

New Beginnings!

2008-03-19T12:04:00.000-07:00

Well our phanfare site has decided that only members can view the pages and we didn't like that, so we decided to create a blog so that you can view some photos and videos without having to become a member of something! Hope you enjoy!! Tim and Shauna
