Zoolights

A few weeks ago we took the boys to the National Zoo to see the "Zoolights". It wasn't that great but Tucker had fun and that's all that matters.

Sunny Days to Snowy Days

Weren't we just swimming in the pool in Florida? I really hate cold weather but I do love when it snows.

Only in Florida

Disney World

While in Florida for Thanksgiving we decided to go to Disney World. We went the Friday after Thanksgiving and yes you heard me right, the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was probably one of the busiest times of the year but who cares. We endured the long lines and people everywhere and had a ball. We got to the park around noon and stayed until 10 that night. Yes you heard me right 10 that night. All the kids got naps (even Tucker) so they were very manageable so we just stayed late. I was afraid Tucker might be too young to really enjoy it but he had a great time and even rode his first roller coaster. After he rode it he looked at Johnny and said "do it again"! It was really one of the best times we have had with the kids and look forward to many more Disney trips.

9 month old cutie

Jacob just turned 9 months on November 21. I can't believe how the time has flown by. He had his check up today and he weighs 19 lbs and is 28 inches long. He is 50th percentile for his weight and height. He got all his shots today and handled it very well. We all went in with him to get our flu shots. I think I cried more than Tucker and Jacob. Just kidding!

Thanksgiving in Florida

This year for Thanksgiving we headed down south to Tampa Florida to see Johnny's family. We had such a wonderful time but I can honestly say its good to be home! My boys just don't sleep when we are away. Tucker does ok but Jacob really knows when he is not in his bed.

Thanksgiving day Papa John went to Orlando and picked up Papa and Nana Hinely and they came down to Tampa to spend the day with all of us. It was really nice to see them. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am so blessed to have such wonderful family in Florida and Alabama.

DaDa I am a big boy but I need my pacy

Those were the words coming from Tucker's room Monday night when we put him to bed. I knew we were going to have a hard time but maybe not as bad as it got. Tucker was really upset and finally we just put him in our bed to get him to calm down. He finally got to sleep and Johnny put him back in his crib around midnight. He woke up around 4 am and was really upset screaming "I need my pacy"! We just put back in our bed and he slept until almost 9. I guess for his nap it took me about 30 minutes to convince him to even go into his room to get in the bed. He was having a hard time but finally after promising him candy and ice cream if he would take a nap it finally worked. He took a nap on his own for almost 2 hours. I was really worried about putting him to bed last night but it wasn't that bad. He cried and I did put him in my bed and let him fall asleep next to me but when Johnny moved him to his bed he did wake up and was fine with sleeping in his room. It is 8:30 Wednesday morning and he is still asleep. I think we are going to be ok without the pacy.
