A Carnival! A Carnival!


As you all know, Tucker kind of likes a character called Thomas the Tank Engine. In some of the Thomas stories, a carnival is featured. Saturday night, we passed by the fair and Tucker exclaimed when he saw the lights, "A Carnival! A Carnival! I want to go play at the Carnival!" So we took him to the Delta Fair at the Agricenter with Nana and Papa. We barely went into the fair because the small rides for the kids Tucker's age was right at the entrance. We did go in just far enough to find Pronto Pups and Funnel cakes though. Tucker had a great time and we all enjoyed watching him more than anything. Be sure to click on the pictures to see a large view. The expressions on his face while on the rides is priceless.




Big News!

Actually, everyone who reads this blog probably already knows the big news, but I couldn't not post something. My sister, Kim, is having a baby!!!!!

I am so excited that there will be a new little one to snuggle with in our family. Kim hasn't been feeling so hot, but the baby has been healthy, strong, moving and hiccuping during all the ultrasounds so far. She is due in late February, although the due date has changed some since the beginning, so we don't really know when to expect this little one. Kim's husband, Geoff, I think wants a boy. But most of us have a feeling this one is going to be a girl. But we will hopefully know soon. Geoff has 4 nieces already, so his family could probably stand a boy. But only time will tell. We are all hoping to know the gender soon so we can begin the shopping/spoiling process.

Please keep Kim and Geoff in your prayers. Kim has had some complications along the way and is feeling pretty bad. She is on bedrest for the time being (and possibly the duration of her pregnancy) and is already getting bored.

Whitney's Wedding Shower


This past Saturday, my sister-in-law, Dawn, and I hosted a wedding shower for our niece Whitney, who will be married in Florida in 2 weeks. Therefore, we decided to go for beach theme. It was a great time and I really enjoyed getting to plan it with Dawn. The lady who made my wedding cake and some of Tucker's birthday cakes did this one. Everyone thought it was very cute.
