Spring Time at the Tucker's

Let’s see what to say… things in my life are slowly getting crazier everyday! I’m not sure but it could just be me losing more and more energy every day. Makenzie is what I like to call a mover :) she is never holding still and if I just followed her around cleaning up I still would have a messy house.



I’m to the point sadly that I hate to bend over and pick up every single toy on the floor so I have resorted to kicking them with my foot into one spot so I only have to bend over once. Haha ridiculous I know but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do! :)



Don’t get me wrong about Makenzie this kid does about a million cute things a day. She has a way of getting me to laugh out loud she’s so funny. She loves dancing to music and sings songs. She knows the actions to the songs better then she can say the words so that’s how I figure out what song she is singing. She went to the pool 2 times this last week and can now blow bubbles in the water and has started to figure out how to balance with the arm floaters. (Is that what they’re called?) Lately she will come up and ask for a treat, say please, and before I get the chance to say yes or no, she will say OKAY and run to go get whatever she asked for. It’s pretty funny.

A bunch of crazy people Mike goes to school with thought it would be fun to have a mustache growing contest. haha So for the whole month of March they all grew out their nasty mustaches. At the end of the month they wore costumes and had all their classmates vote on the best Mustache....Mike WON! :) Whahahaha I will admit I think he pulled of the cop thing pretty good :) As for the stache it was quickly removed after the competition :)




Mike also just got done running in the So-Cal Ragnar Relay Race. If you’re like me and have never heard of this race then here is the description.
PICTURE THIS: You and 11 of your buddies running relay style, day and night, in a 200-mile running event through Southern California. Starting south of Los Angeles in beautiful Huntington Beach your team of 12 runners will head south down the pacific coast. Along the way you will pass through Anaheim, Carlsbad, Del Mar and La Jolla. The race (and your stamina) will wrap up near San Diego on beautiful Coronado Island. This isn’t your average 10K or half marathon, this is Ragnar!
Believe it or not he had a great time! The team that he ran with was a bunch of people from the ward we go to. So when they all came to church yesterday with matching “tattoos” they got some pretty funny looks haha.



After looking at the nasty blisters on his feet I personally would’ve give up running all together but he is already talking about doing it again next year :)
In all honesty I am super proud of him! Anyone that can run a total of 20 plus miles at sub 7 minute mile pace in my opinion is freaking AWESOME!!! Most men sit at home and watch hours of sports from their couch. Mike goes out and does what he loves, not only that but he will take Makenzie in the jogging stroller with him to give me a chance to take a nap or pick up the house. He has really done so much for me to make this pregnancy as smooth as possible and I’m blessed and truly thankful to have him in my life!



Things to come…I’m turning 24 on Wednesday!


Kinda weird depending on how I think about it some days I feel like that’s so old and time is going by so fast. Other times it’s like 24 that’s it! But either way it’s here and one of our friends is babysitting so we can go on a fun date :)
Easter is right around the corner and I can’t help but get excited for. Growing up my mom made all the holidays so much fun, so now I get to try and do that for Makenzie. It breaks my heart that she won’t have an amazing Easter basket like the one I grew up with that my mom made. (Due mostly to the fact that I’m incapable of being creative) But I hope she will learn to love the holidays as much as I did!
Well it’s late and I have a date with Betty Crocker’s Warm Delights…Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie flavored! Yes it has like 400 Calories but I’m going to eat it anyway!


:) Don’t judge me you know you want a bite! Haha
