Latest of Tucker

My little Tuck is growing so much…

he is eating 8 ounces every feeding now & we are having to add cereal at night time…

he is 23 1/2 in. long now, 10 lbs. 13.25 ounces and growing growing growing…

He smiles and coos and talks to you whenever he gets a chance and is a true baby of the family…

spoiled rotten…demands attention…cries when he is the slighest wet and screams and pitches fits when you change his clothes…that is the only time you hear him though…

he has been an absolute joy these past 9 weeks…i’m relishing my time with him and already missing where we’ve been. Parker has finally dubbed him bubba also and tells us all the time how much he loves him(that is special for him…he has been a little bit jealous of all the attention tucker has gotten)

i’ve added a couple of pictures from the past 2 days so you could see how he has changed! i hope you enjoy.

It was a GREAT DAY!!!

My birthday this year was wonderful…i awoke to the sweet sound of my precious hubby & boys singing me happy birthday along with a Butterfinger Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen…YUMMY!!!

Needless to say i was on a sugar high from eating a big ole slice at 8:00a.m. Then we went to lunch at one of my fav’s…Olive Garden…We had a good time! And I was reminded all day that it was my b’day…and how old i was!

My Little Graduate!

We had his pre-k graduation last week and they were soooo cute….I help out a little with the music so they would have a nice program and they were adorable…i really got attached to some of these kids over the past 2 years and i’m gonna miss them i think as much as jackson will….I’ve added some cute pics of all of them…marching in…praying, singing, getting their certificates….their teachers this year were AWESOME and we’re gonna miss first pres. next year…but looking forward to East Central…he wants to start tomorrow….

Is it sad???

That my birthday is 2 days away (May 14) and i just remembered that….

People…I am THAT tired!!!

Does it ever slow down???

The Fireman & Computer Technician!!!

Well..2 exciting stories in our house in 2 days…you might want to stay tuned in to the glenngang…you never know what you are going to get.

Yesterday evening I was cooking dinner…Jackson was on the computer playing….Parker in his bedroom playing…Jason weedeating the jungle we call a yard…and Tucker was SCREAMING!!!! I had the food under control went to get the baby to settle him down…I had not been sitting down for 2 seconds and i heard a pop & hissing sound & Saw a flame reflecting off of my wall (mind you, i was in my living room on the opposite side of the wall….Jackson then began screaming THERE’S A FIRE…MOMMY THERE’S A FIRE…He started crying it scared him so bad….I basically threw the baby in his arms and said go sit down with him….I got FLOUR, didn’t have baking soda, (thank you GIGI…i remembered from the christmas party) kept a level head and put that fire out…Nothing was hurt but my heart…it scared the mess out of me and Jackson…Jason didn’t have a clue and neither did parker.

Job #2- The computer technician…

Kids were supposed to be napping..Jason & I were in the bed watching “PS…I Love You” & feeding Tucker this afternoon….being lazy….I heard parker up and I asked jason to go see what he was doing….The next statement coming from Jason’s mouth was “OH MY GOD”…not in a taking the lords name in vain way….but crying out to god way because of what parker was doing…

He had basically stripped over half the keyboard of Jason’s laptop keys and thrown them in the floor…so while jason was freaking out…i diligently (not vigilant, mom =) ) worked and put each piece back on…Thank you Jesus I didn’t get the job today of poop watcher from him swallowing anything!!! All pieces were present and accounted for….So that was ONE good thing that came out of the situation!
