February FUN!

Right now I did something that most moms don’t do… I gave Makenzie a sucker :) And to be honest she is sitting more quiet then she ever has before so I’m going to try and get this done as fast as I can.
Mike and I have been trying to decide what to do about getting a double stroller. We have looked everywhere and read a ton on the internet and we decided to get this one…


I know it’s huge but other than that it’s perfect and we got it for a sweet price! Mike and Makenzie had a great time putting it together and going for very short rides around the apartment. :)
Mikes parents were able to come visit us for a few days. Makenzie loved all the attention! We took them to a nature park just down the street. None of us have ever been before and it turned out to be pretty cool. There was a beautiful pond that we sat by to watch ducks and turtles.


Before we dropped them off at the airport we decided to spend the afternoon at the beach. We were pretty much the only ones there… I guess you have to be from Idaho to enjoy ocean water in February. We had a really good time. Makenzie found lots of sea shells and had a blast playing in the sand. Mike and his dad tried out the boogie board that I got him for Christmas.




The other big thing going on in our simple life right now is that Makenzie is wearing “BIG GIRL PANTIES!” haha I know it’s crazy but she has been doing SO good. We have only had two accidences so far. Both times Makenzie was playing and I think she just got too excited :) so we are trying to be more careful about how crazy we let her get :)


Church was pretty crazy! She figured out fast that if she said “potty” we would get up and leave sacrament meeting to take her to the bathroom. I would guess we went to the bathroom 8 times in just 3 hours. By the end of church I was so tired. But we made it out with dry panties! :)

One of Makenzie’s friends here had a Princess Birthday party. So that is why she is all dressed up. The party was outside and right next to a pretty steep hill. So most of the time we were there I was making sure Makenzie didn’t die as she followed the older kids up and down the hill.




Today has been a lot of fun! I love Valentine’s Day :) Mike did a great job making me feel special! I love that boy soooooooooo much! I had to work this morning and when I came home there was a “We Love You” note on the door that Makenzie even helped make. Inside was a note on the floor from Makenzie’s toys. It turned out super cute.


He just went all out flowers, balloons, and heart shaped pizza…that we ate before I remembered to take a picture and it was GOOD!
We got some fun things in the mail from my mom and sister :) They always do cute things for us! The bow in Makenzie’s hair my mom made and it’s adorable!

The shirt she is wearing is from my sister and Makenzie even got to try a Fun Dip Valentine from her cousin Lexie. She is a huge fan. Haha


So that’s what’s been going on over at the Tuckers :) Hope everyone had a great day!

  1. I guess I'm not like most moms.... my boys are eating suckers right now too. Only they're not sitting quietly, they're slamming their suckers onto pots and pans, and breaking them into tiny pieces. Oh boy... :)
    Your Makenzie is so cute- good luck with potty training it sounds like she's doing great. My least favorite was when Christopher was in time out and would cry out, "I have to go potty." I knew it was just to get out of time out, but how can I not take him? Anyway, you have an adorable family!
