VA trip

Well this past week Tucker and I were lucky enough to go back to Virginia for a visit with my family. We were sad Jake couldnt go with us but I was REALLY excited to see my family.Tucker was a champ on the flight! Never cried once, and just laughed and smiled at all the people around:) Tucker was also excited to meet all the Gholsons he has heard so much about! We had such a blast and cant wait to head back in 7 weeks for Christmas. Tucker will finally get to meet all his cousins (on my side) and I will finally get to see ALL my siblings together! So here are some pictures of our trip!

Fall has arrived!!!

So its finally that time of year! The air is nice and crisp, the sweaters and long sleeved shirts are out, and the cocoamotion is out! yeah baby! Fall is by far my favorite season, and i am so glad it has finally decided to come around! I have started a new kick of walking every morning:) Hopefully i can continue to do it, as long as my friends who walk with me continue to go and keep me motivated. It is kinda hard to get out there when you know you have no one to talk to.. So here are some new pictures of us! We went to the Kansas state fair a few weeks ago with our friends the Morris'. They are such a fun family and we are really grateful to have them right down the street:) Here are some pictures of the fair and some newbies of my little, or shall i say big boy! he is 4 months old and i have already retired all his 3-6 month clothes:( He's in the 6-9 monthers and so stinkin cute! we go to the Dr on Thursday, and i will post his stats then. (for those who are interested, lol) We are getting ready for our trip to VA in a few weeks! Tucker will get to meet his family there for the first time and all of my friends from back home:) I am super excited to see everybody and have them see my little man.

 Jake named this bunny Jackie... most of you can probably see why, lol

 Jake and Tucker up in a huge car. The guys loved looking at all the tanks and 4 wheelers and other "toys":)

 My little boy i growing up so fast!

 So excited!

 Squealing, one of his new favorite things to do! If you walk by my house at any given time during the time, more then likely you will hear Tucker squealing! haha

 Photo session, trying to get some for GG and some for my walls... i thought this was cute:)

 I just love that little face!

 Playin with daddy!

 Im not pointing, i was actually getting the drool, haha

 Out of order, but is is us at the fair...

Me and the butter sculpture. So weird, haha but also very interesting!

Here are some videos of tucker... one is him and his jumper which he LOVES! and the other is him laughing.... well he was laughing until we get the flip out, but you can see him laugh in the beginning and then stare at the camera the rest of the time. Usually if i start singing, he will sing with me, it is SO cute, and i sing all the time. so it happens alot, haha i will try to get some better videos:)

well there it is! til next time:)

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!!
