Good Morning...

I woke up this morning to find this as the screen saver on our computer! I was laughing SO hard!

Thanks Ben!

This is why I love him! :)

Grandpas Birthday...

Those of you who know my grandpa, know that he is a fun and wild man. Unfortunately, a few years ago, he had a stroke, and since then has been pretty much bed ridden. The left side of his body still has very little movement. At the end of March, he turned 84 years old! So, my parents, and my two aunts and Tuck, of course, all met up at my grandparents house to celebrate his birthday. It was such a good day! It is still hard for me to see my grandpa like this, he has always been such a fun and lively and strong person my whole life. But such is life, and we have to deal with what we are given, and he is still wonderful! He was still telling his jokes and war stories, just like the grandpa I know and love, so it wasn't too bad.

We just made a day trip out of it, and my darling aunties were there. It is so good going back to my grandparents house. I have so many wonderful memories there. It is just good to be with people who know and love you and I have to say that I have a pretty great family! Those who know my family also know that when we get together, there is bound to be a photo shoot. These photos are just a few of MANY taken that day!

Tucker and Grandpa snuggling

And of course, kissing that bald head of his!

Here we are, all 4 generations... Me, Tuck, my mom and my grandparents

And the three boys that were there that day... my grandpa, my dad and Tucker

...And the Edvalson girls... Aren't they beautiful?

My Auntie Sherri, Auntie Lorraine, my Grandparents, and my Mommy.

My grandpa really liked my hat, and wanted to take a picture with him wearing his army hat. He's so cute!

It was so good spending time with grandpa, and we hope that he has many more birthdays to come!

Tuckers haircut...

I couldn't justify spending $12 on a haircut for Tucker. He hardly has any hair!!! So, I decided to give it a try! :) (my first time EVER) It only took 3 of us to hold him down and distract him! :) I think the look on his faces says it all....

Shock game & More...

Tucker went to his first Shock game this weekend! It was so much fun! I was a little hesitant to take him, because they can be loud-my parents have season tickets right at the goal line, and their section is seriously full of all the crazy fanatic fans that are wild and loud- Anyway...I didn't know how long he would last, but he was a champ and had SO much fun! There were so many things to look at, and coupled with is love for balls and dancing, he was in heaven! :) We sat the first half in my parents seats, and then sat in the owners booth the rest of the game (Ben's boss is part owner of the Spokane Shock), where there were other kids and more room to run around in.

It was the big season opener, so it was extra loud and extra fun!

Intently watching the game with Daddy...

Tuckers favorite part was dancing to the music they had playing most of the time. Especially when the cheerleaders got out there, he was out of his seat and moving right along with them! :)

Tuckers best friend, Carly came over to play the other day and I went downstairs and found them like this:

Both trying to fit through the little hole in Tuckers crawl toy! I still can't get over how much taller than him she is!

Usually Tucker is the ham for the camera, but I told them to say cheese, and Carly knew exactly what to do! :)

Yesterday Tucker did not take a nap all day! He is usually a PRO at sleeping. Let me tell you... I learned that I need nap time just as much as he does every day! Not to actually sleep myself, but to have ME time without a little one, ya know! Anyway, by the end of the evening, we were both pretty spent, and crabby. At about 6pm, I went into the kitchen to answer the phone, and within two minutes, came back to the living room, to find him passed out, exactly like this on the couch! (we were in the process of putting his PJ's on, because I figured he would be going to sleep early, I just didn't realize it would be this early!)

He was so exhausted!

Easter Festivities...

Well, I've been writing this post for like a week now, and finally have time to finish it and post it. Easter this year was fun, nothing too fancy. Just the norm...church, lots of candy and a yummy yummy dinner with my family!

Here we are coloring Easter eggs at 'Paola & Pa Pas'" house.

(Grandma & Grandpa--we're not sure how the Paola came about for Grandma, but that's what Tucker always calls her)

Tuckers not really sure whats going on with all the eggs and dye.

But whatever it is, he's starting to like it!

And by the end of the night, we were lucky to find a part of him that wasn't covered in dye!

( I don't know why we didn't think to put down newspaper--oh well, at least it was at Grandmas--j/k) :)

Tuckers cousin, Keyton was hands in from the very beginning!

And of course, Tucker invited his best friend, Carly to join us--she was very crafty with her eggs!

Easter morning...

It was WAY too cold out to take nice family pictures outside in our Easter duds like I would have liked to do, but we snapped this one before church real quick!

And at Paola & Pa Pa's...

Here they are in their matching Easter outfits from Grandma. (we really tried to get a good picture of them together, but this was REALLY the best one, and eventually I gave up)

Grandma really does spoil them. They got these cool chairs for the summer time. Tucker has already used his, even though there is snow on the ground.

Tuckers favorite part of his Easter basket from grandma?--The bubbles!

Spring Cleaning...

We've just been up to some spring cleaning around here...

When we got home from Utah, I had alot of organizing/cleaning/laundry to do, luckily I had some help.

I just couldn't get him away from these brooms. :)

We went to visit my grandparents in Oregon for a night this week,with my parents and brother. They had some pretty bad wind storms down there this winter, so we helped them out with some yardwork and other little jobs that needed to be done around the house. Tucker was in on the action.

Happy Spring cleaning to all....

Easter Weekend....What?

So we woke up this morning to a yard full of snow...

I can't tell you how sad this makes me!
