Spring T-ball

Tuck participated in spring t-ball and couldn't wait to get started. He played so much better this season and actually seemed to 'get it' a lot more than last season. There were no headstands or sitting breaks in the field. He wasn't as chatty with the other team while he was on base. He was all business and he took it very seriously!

Funny story. Tuck was on first base and we were sitting closer to home plate. Tuck yells rather loud while pointing to a man obviously on steroids, "Hey Dad, that guy's stronger than you!" Everybody heard and we all died laughing. He's super observant!

At the end of his season his coach had a party at Peter Piper Pizza, or Peter Pider Pizza as the blondies call it. He was SO thrilled to get his very own trophy with his name on it. He said it's the shortest trophy he has...it's the only trophy he has. It was fun watching him learn, hit the ball, and slide into home plate even though he didn't need to!

Muffins With Mom

Tatum's class did Muffins With Mom, and ONLY moms. No brothers, no pets, and definitely no dads! Upon my arrival Tatum gave me a crown that said Queen Mom as well as a pink flower. She had spent all week on a drawing of me as well as a Mom's Fact List. SO CUTE! She was SO excited to show me all the things she worked so hard on.












The muffins, grapes, and punch were delicious! I loved spending time just with her. She's my girly!














She even sang 3 songs to me. One was cute, the other funny, and the last sweet...and I may or may not have had watery eyes.

Tuck's Eye Mask

This is Tucker every night, sporting the eye mask.

I like how it matches these jammies.

He says without it he has night mares.

He's been known to stay up until 10 because he can't shut his eyes without it.

We think it's funny that he has at least 4 different eye masks.

I need to make him one to match his new quilt.

I find it ironic it says nice!

San Tan Flat

In the name of quality family time we decided to mix things up a bit and try a new restaurant. I'm pretty sure we haven't had so much fun in quite a while!

Enjoying Daddy time before he moves to Utah!

Being silly while waiting for our burger and fries.

Not only do we get to eat but we get to make a fire and then leave smelling like the fire!

Tucker thought the fire was the best thing ever! He was happy to just sit and bake.

Still waiting for our food.

Ahhh.

After we ate dinner we made smores! We brought all the fixings!

Tucker thought he died and went to Heaven!

Enjoying!

There was even a live band! Tatum and Chris slow danced while Tuck shook his booty to the faster songs. He bounced his hip to the left and tapped his right foot. We had a marvelous time. The blondies are begging to go back. I think we'll become regulars!

Worst Stub Ever!

The Worst Stub EVER!

Bruised, bleeding, and ozzing...he's not a happy boy!

The Blue Dot

One of the two blondies has recently been having a hard time telling the truth. Sometimes these lies are so believable and said so convincingly I believe them. Other times the story is so bizarre it's quite obvious it's a lie.

Well, one day I was scolding said blondie and they absolutely insisted they didn't do it. I knew other wise. It just so happens in our house when you tell a lie a blue dot shows up on your forehead. I saw the blue dot. I told the blondie what I saw and what it meant. They immediately put their hand over their forehead. The dot moved to their hand. They ran to the mirror to see it. Only mommies and daddies see it. They were busted and they knew it. They fessed up. They apologized. We moved on.

Now anytime this particular blondie is having difficulty telling the truth they ask if I can see the dot. I can. They smile and quit pulling their shenanigan. It's worked quite well. I wish the blue dot would have been invented much sooner. It produces results. It keeps them honest. It's keeps me happy. I wonder how long before they catch on....
