Spring Break Happenings

Some big things have taken place these past few days.

1. We kept Baby Tucker overnight for the first time! It was the first of many cousin sleepovers. We wanted to give Amy and Nathan a break and spend some time with the little booger. It went great and he was a sweetheart but I will say 3 in diapers would not be an easy feat!! I get giddy excited though thinking of the upcoming sleepovers when all the little boys are bundled in their make-shift tent and sleeping bags with popcorn/movies and farting contests. :) I told Amy we should pre-plan to just switch off every other Friday night when they get older to whose house the sleep over will be at. Seriously, how fun does that sound??!! Love me some boys.

2. I am now an aunt of 2 little boys!! Erica, my sister-in-law had her baby (almost 3 weeks early!) Thursday morning!! Baby Jack.

3. Thursday we had an already-planned day at the Tulsa Aquarium with my whole family. We all thought Lincoln would love it (which he did) but Noah's joy was unexpected and super cute! We've wondered if Noah will share Lincoln's fearless passion for water this summer in our community pool and after seeing that little sucker at the aquarium (he seriously was diving into the open tanks - hilarious!) I'm pretty sure we'll have 2 waterlogs on our hands this summer. My parents, sisters, and their families all went and then we finished the afternoon off with Cheesecake Factory.

4. After the Aquarium, Jason and Lincoln continued on to OKC to see Baby Jack. I am one of the hosts for Bethany's shower Saturday and had quite a few things to finish up before the shower, so Noah and I headed back home. So last night + today (Jason and Lincoln will be home late) was just Mommy and Noah time and I LOVED it. We went to the park, took some naps, sang lots of songs, and spent a lot of time getting that little guy to walk more! I think Noah J. is going to be able to sing. :) I know it might seem like my dream since that's my thing, but he is so different about music than Lincoln was at this age...I'm just saying. We'll see. :) Noah, here in the past month or so, has really come alive in his personality. I've pretty much decided age 1-2 are some of the most fun times (so far). We have discussed having another kid soon, but I'll be honest - I'm just loving this stage right now where both boys are at, and I kind of just want to sit and relish in it for a bit.

 5. In housing updates, the couple interested called today wanting our mailing address to mail (what we can best presume) an official offer on our house! Now, we're trying not to get too excited because we also understand that it could be an offer we can't do. I've said a handful of prayers today and had to relinquish some worry over the matter. You can bet I'll be checking that mailbox for the next few days like a hawk.

6. And tomorrow is Bethany's shower!!! So excited!!!!

Now off to finish up some things for the shower and clean the house a bit before the older boys get home tonight.
