Oops...

Well, I was doing pretty well with this blogging thing until... well last July! :/ I dont think it REALLY matters, since all of the people that read this are FB friends with me, and see our pix on there, or follow me on Instagram, which im totally addicted to btw.
Since last blog, we have moved to VA Beach, and have settled in! OH, and added another addition to our family:) Carson joined us on Sept. 13, 2011, making us a family of 4:) Jake would say 6, including the dogs of course...
Jake is very busy growing the practice, and i am home with the boys... trying to keep up with them but LOVING IT! Tucker just turned 2 and i cant believe how big he is getting.. Carson is almost 9 months and is getting pretty fast with his army crawl! other then that, I am still hard at work selling Scentsy:)
Just wanted to revamp the blog and see if i can REdedicate myself to actually using it! Its hard because now that i have an iphone, everything is on there so i never take the time to get on the REAL computer to get to bloggin! but like i said... im going to try!
So, STAY TUNED!

My Little Helper:)

Trip to VA

We were very lucky to go back home and visit with the fam the past few weeks. We got to go swimming at Nannys a lot which Tucker is SO in love with. He refuses to stay in any floating device and wants to be right in the water so he can get his face in and splash and play. He is a pro at holding his breath... It makes GG nervous, but it makes me feel good that he will be a great swimmer and not one of those kids who is afraid of the water:) He likes to sit on the side and scoot until he can lean over and jump in, which is so stinkin cute! This trip was mostly about relaxing so we did lots of it! Swimming and hanging out at the house with the fam:) We played outside with Cam (GG and Pops puppy) and watched Pops work in the garden. We saw lightning bugs, and trees everywhere. (Pretty sure Tucker didnt know what to make of all the trees at first, haha) Tucker played flash cards with GG on the iPad and loved it... He also started dancing as soon as we got there and hasnt stopped since, lol. We had lots of yummy watermelon which might just be Tuckers new favorite fruit.. Jake helped my dad take down the old light in the kitchen and install a ceiling fan, which looks FAB! They also installed a motion scensor light in the backyard so we would have any ankle rolling for the GG or twisted knees for aunt Katie. All in all, we had such a blast and feel so blessed that we got to visit with everybody. We did a lot of other things but i am so tired i cant even think so here are the pictures!! A BIG thanks to GG and Pops for all that you have done and continue to do for us.  We love you so much and are thankful to have you in our lives. LOVE YOU!!!

Getting kisses from Cam. Tucker LOVES dogs.

Dancing to the ABC's :)

He is also OBSESSED with phones. Its a little ridiculous.

The Birthday Boy!

Well, this is obviously almost 2 weeks late, but we were having too much fun in VA that i completely forgot to blog about Tuckers 1st Birthday!! May 30, 2010 was quite an exciting one for the Saxton's here in Kansas. We continue to be reminded everyday how blessed we are to have such a kind-hearted, loving, sweet, laid back, ADORABLE son. He is the greatest thing that we have been blessed with and we have no idea what we would do without him. For Tuckers birthday we were in VA! It was so great to have so much family and friends to help celebrate with us:) His birthday was on Memorial Day so we celebrated at our family annual Memorial Day pool party! It was so much fun and pretty much the PERFECT day. Here are some pictures of the birthday boy!

The only picture we dedicated to the cake i made for my little Tuckerman. He is quite the little monkey, so that was our "theme" IF you would call a monkey cake and monkey plates a theme! lol

 Singing to the birthday boy!! He loved it!!!! It looks like he is crying in all these pictures, but he really just rubbed sunscreen in his eyes :(

 First tasting... and definatly NOT the last, haha

 We love this little man:)

 So excited he can have a cupcake all to himself... Or was this the second one GG gave him? lol

 So handsome:)

 Birthday kisses for Momma!

 And GG:)

 Tucker had a blast, at least im pretty sure he did! He LOVED swimming, and having so many people to entertain. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us!! It is definatly the "1st birthday" that I've always wanted him to have.



Walking videos

So i have been attempting to get some good walking videos.. here are a few in our attempts! His record is now 10 steps:) He is doing so great and Jake is hoping he will be full on walking by his (Jakes) birthday. Don't worry, thats this Thursday! haha, probably wont make that, but he is making GREAT progress!

Weeble Wabble Walk...

YES we bribe him with food! He loves food... you could bribe me with food!

A short walk, or a stroll maybe, lol

Anyways, i havent captured his best walking yet, but we will keep trying! Love yall:)

It's been a LONG time of no blogging...

Ok, so i know its been forever since my last check in. i could make a million excuses but mostly i just havent felt like messing with it! So here is a little update! Tucker doing great, growing like crazy! He is still just as happy and content as ever (minus this week that he has had a 102 fever and viral infection and has been SOOO pathetic:( anywho! he loves to play with anyone who will play with him, but mostly loves to play with Daddy. He eats anything and everything.. he is totally off baby food and has enjoyed everything he has tasted.. chicken, steak, burgers, all veggies and fruits.. Tucker is most definatly NOT picky, JUST like his father;) He has just started walking this past wek or 2 and is up to about 8 steps! Im thinkin he will pick it up really fast once he is feeling better!
As for me, I have been feeling MUCH better the past 2 weeks or so, not throwing up all the time, just my usual headaches which I can live with i guess. I just barely am showing now, so i guess thats good! Everything with the baby is looking great! He is measuring right on and is very active. I am still babysitting with will be up in a few weeks when the kids get out of school here on May 19th (they get out SO early here! its weird..) and then we are off to VA for our summer vacation! I am SO excited to see my family and to be with them to celebrate Tuckers 1st birthday:) We cant wait to go swimming at Nannys, and meet Mom and Dads new puppy Cam. Tucker loves dogs and is one of his favorite things to say and sign, its super cute and i love it!)
Jake is doing great too:) He has been working a ton in the basement and we should be ready for sheet rock next week! He is such a hard worker, and i love how he has to do things the right way even if it means taking longer or doing things over again.. I know the basement will look awesome when its done. OH and ps, i am REALLY good at running electrical wire if you ever need any help;)
Here are a few pictures for yall! Sorry we didnt get any good pictures on easter, even tho Tucker looked SUPER cute, he was not the happiest baby....

I found Tucker sleeping like this one night, Jake was on a walk with Leeroy and Dolly, so i had to take a picture to show him.

Tucker likes going to Daddys bookshelf and ripping EVERYTHING off of it.

He has really good balance as Nanny says :)

Making his favorite noise... It's like a rolling R sound, he will do it ANYTIME.. If he is bawling his eyes out, you can do it, and he will stop crying to do it, haha sooo funny.

Me and my Tuckerman. It's my goal when we are in VA to have my Mom and kate take as many pictures of us as a family together since i feel like we have none.  Lets get on that ladies! lol

We had to wake him up from his nap for church... he was not very happy, but he looked so cute in his little Easter outfit! (Thanks GG)

Attempt #1 for a family pic.. THANKS LYDIA! haha, she is SUPER short so she was trying to not get our double chins, but cut off our heads. Plus Jake is squinting and Tucker didnt want to look..

Candid shot since the others were no better then #1 haha but Tucker and Jake look quite handsome so i will post it even tho I am not pleased with myself in this one, lol

Well folks, thats all for now! When Tucker starts feeling better I will try to get some newer pix and some video of our walkin man! Hope everyone is enjoying their spring!

Just a video or two!

So we have been pretty busy in the Saxton home! I started babysitting once the new year came so i have been horrible at keeping our blog updated! I cant find the camera right now but i will post a few videos! Tucker is getting so big, i swear he grows an inch every night! He is just over 22 lbs, over 29 inches, andso stinkin cute! He is such a sweet, happy and VERY content baby! I hope all of our kids are just as easy going, but i guess it comes from Jake, lol. Tucker sleeps between 12 and 13 hours every night and takes 2 naps a day. He is still sticking with his army crawl, which i think he just prefers because he is pretty speedy with it! He has been pulling up on everything he can.. the couch, the bookshelf, the kitchen chairs, the bathtub... He loves to be standing, and has just started using his truck toy as a walker. (Thanks Hunter!) Today he walked a ways across the living room with it, but by the time i got the camera he would only take a few steps.. Ill try to keep the flip closer by so that i can catch him in the act! He also LOVES his car garage toy that GG gave him for Christmas.. He loves putting the cars in it and rolling them down. I also have to cut his hair about every 2 weeks.Its thick and getting blonder every day! i guess i dont HAVE to but i like it short, and NOT sticking straight up,lol. and it grows SOOO fast! i guess he gets that from me! So here are a few vidoes!

This is tuckers car toy GG gave him! and yes i did use my foot to sit it back up, lol.. embarrassingggg!

Heres Tucker using his truck as a walker, lol he always has to chase the camera when he sees it

Pullin up on the couch, his feet were stuck in his pants so it took him a sec, haha

 Well thats all for today!! I will try to be better about posting, and taking more pictures! Hope everyone is having a great february! Take care:)
