Looks whose 1

It has been busy busy busy around here. Jake's working all the time now, they had a lay off and he survived(thank goodness) but that means we see less of him...but I would rather see him less than see him everyday, while we live at my mama's!!!! I am happy staying right here at home, where I am spoiled to mama duty which is incredibly taxing, exhausting, wonderful, emotional in so many ways, and I wouldn't change it for anything. I get a nap almost everyday with my favorite little guy! Yes I still take naps with them and I don't want to stop! Mackenzie is in Kindergarten and loves it! She is doing so great. Spelling all the time, trying to read more and more, and trying out math! She says things to me about words, like this is a compound word, and I have to literally think what in the world is a compound word!!! Okay so then I think that maybe I do need to go back into the Real world....no way! Tripp is finally adjusting to preschool and loves it most days. He is still a mama's boy! He loves TV....I will find him in his room all snuggled under his covers watching TV. He also is all boy and is rough and loves motorcycles, trucks, 4 wheelers, any sport! He is learning to recognize his letters and his name. He tries to right it. He is getting better at working on the computer which I think has helped his confidence alot more. Tucker is just precious still. He is generally happy all the time. Loves everyone and will talk to anybody(got that from me). He loves to put a laundry basket upside down and stand on it and talk his language! He climbs on everything and anything. It's really scary sometimes. He smiles everytime you look at him which just melts my heart. He is learning and growing so fast, I just want it to slow down.

Just growing too fast

Mackenzie started Kindergarten last week and loves it! She gets to ride the bus home and that's exciting for her. I feel comfortable with her riding it, because it takes her all of 10 minutes to get home, my neices and nephews ride it, and the bus driver was driving my sisters and brothers to school...old family friend. Tripp started preschool today and he has already gotten in trouble twice that they told me about. He said he was not going to go to school anymore! He yelled at his teacher and tore up some wipes. AAAAHHHHHH!!!! He is my stresser! But cute as can be so that makes it hard to stay mad for very long.. He better get his act together though, cause it's gonna be a long year! Tucker is walking everywhere now and into everything. He thinks that he is big now and can do what the big kids can do. he love to follow the kids around and tries to play with them. He is still a sweet baby and has me wrapped around his fingers! Me and Jake are doing great just getting into a new routine with the kids and I think it's going to be a great year!

Tucker's Blessing

We have had a busy month with Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas. We had Tucker blessed on the Dec. 5th. He is such a sweet baby and such a joy to have. I am so glad the Lord knew we needed him in our family. We love you Tucker.

Halloween

Tucker Elliott Martin

Tucker is here and I am in love with him. He was 8lbs 7oz and has lots of dark hair. He is amazing. I love to just look at him except last night when he was up all night long. ha ha...just kidding I couldn't look at him I was falling asleep feeding him, couldn't keep my eyes open. He loves to eat and be held. He looks so much like my other two kids, but different at the same time. I love him and I am doing great. The kids love him and Kenzie can't get enough of him. Wants to hold him all the time.
