Week of firsts:)

Well, this past week or so has been a week of firsts for Tucker! He went to his first football game, his first wedding, and his first road trip! As well as his first Marriott stay (thanks GG!) We went to the Valley Center High School football game, which they got stomped but who doesnt love going to a football game?! Jake loved taking Tucker, he wants to make sure he is introduced to sports as soon as possible, haha. I love my husband. Then the next day a guy from Jakes work got married so we went to the reception! Tucker looked so cute and it was fun for us to all get dressed up instead of wearing my usual jeans and one of many t-shirts, lol. Then this weekend Jake had a CE course in Kansas City, so Tucker and I tagged along! I loved having a relaxing weekend of NOT having to clean up and being able to just snuggle in a nice comfy bed with my little man, while watching movies, til Jake got back! Then we went to the plaza.We had California Pizza Kitchen (i LOVE that place!) while we were there Tucker flirted with the girls at the next table, talkin and talkin!!we walked around a bit. Then headed back to the hotel. The next day we waited for Jake to get back then we went swimmin and Tucker loved it as always. I think he is definatly gonna get the Gholson swimming gene:) None of the pictures have a smile.. because like ive said before.... my child is for some reason camera shy! SO DISAPPOINTING! anyhow.. we went to eat at this FAB place called Houstons and i had the best prime rib of my LIFE! i dont even have a picture because i started eatting and couldnt stop! jake had some DELISH ribs :) and of course we swapped cuz we love food! then we headed back to get some well needed rest. The next morning we got up and packed and then headed to Independence to go see the visitors center, and over to the Liberty jail. It was an great experience and we are so glad we were able to swing by! here are some pix of the past week or 2:)

New pix of Tuckerman

Sorry it has been so long since our last update... BUT! here are some new pix of our little Tuckerman:) He is about 15(ish) pounds, and growing like a weed! Tucker is teething, but has been taking it like a champ! Not too much fussing, just random days of being a little more impatient, lol. Lately, Tucker has LOVED LOVED LOVED splashing in the bathtub:) It is so much, that i have had to start putting the little bathtub in the actual bathtub because water is flying like crazy!! Next week we are going to Kansas City so hopefully we will have fun pix from the trip:)

Tucker is eating rice cereal now. Daddy took a little too long to take the picture, lol. This is after he finished.

Eating his hands after getting his bath.

Bouncing like a mad man... He loves this thing!

 My son is camera shy.. Whenever i get the camera out he never smiles!! He must've gotten that from Jake ;)

 So Cute:) Love these onesies Lindsay made!! Thanks Linds!!

Update:)

Here is an update! My most recent thing is i got a new sewing machine! My mom got me an awesome table and i have been playing around with it during Tuckers naptime:) I have made 2 blankets and cant wait to get on my next project. Im still learning so the blankets are nothing fancy yet! my mom taught me how to do a french seam while she was here so that is pretty mcuh all i know how to do, haha. Here are the 2 blankets i have made so far..

This is the monkey blanket. It says "LITTLE MONKEY"  under the monkeys

Here is the animal blanket. I loved the way the animals looked! Its super cute fabric!

And here are some pictures of my growing boy!! He is smiling and laughing like crazy these days, and eating like its his J-O-B! Its ridiculous how much he eats! He is growing like a weed, in 3-6 mos clothes, and loves to sit up! He loves his bumbo chair and sitting on anyones lap that will let him sit up so he can look around the room.

My boys, they are so cute.. They snuggle as soon as Daddy gets home from work! We are so lucky Jake has a job were he gets home at 2:15 almost every day!

Layin out on GGs blanket!

Gettin ready for bed!

He was watching the t.v after bath time! haha

He loves standing up, he bounces up and down...

Tummy time!! his head looks super huge in this pic haha it really isnt THAT big! i swear, lol

Sittin on daddy:) He started singing Kenny Chesney with him, it was SUPER cute!

This is mid smile while he was singing with Daddy:)

Theres an update!! We will do better about updating! or at least ill try! haha

Family Visits!

Since we had Tucker blessed, we were lucky enough to have some of our family in town! My mom and dad came, as well as Jakes dad, and his sister Megan. Then my cousin Rushell and her family came too! We had such a great time with everyone and are so glad they could make it! We went to "Cow Town", one of the MANY attractions here in Wichita, lol. And we also had a cookout after Tuckers blessing! Many of our friends came and got to celebrate with us, it was such a great time:) Here are some pictures from the time our families were here!

Mom and Dad came and OF COURSE we had to go to Freddys:)
