The Tuckers!

Thanksgiving....

2011-11-29T20:14:00.001-07:00

....was awesome! As usual, we had lunch with Matt's family and then went and had dinner at my Dad's house. It's always fun to get to eat a ton of food twice! What made it extra special, is that some of my family on my Dad's side that I have not seen since 2008 was able to come down and visit for a few days! My Aunt Sandy and Uncle Gary and my cousin Randy and his family were here and it was so nice to be able to the spend some time with them. I guess I hadn't realized how much I missed them. Naomi didn't really care for the turkey but she loved the mashed potatoes and rolls. I would love to post some pictures but I don't think I got the camera out once! Grrrr! Maybe I can get my Aunt Sandy to email me some of the ones that she took! Hope you all were able to enjoy the holiday and spend it in a way that made you happy!

Epic fail...

I have come to the realization that I majorly stink at blogging!! I have decided to make an effort to be a little bit better at it if only for my family members who aren't part of our day to day lives. I'm fairly certain there will be major catching up and new posts to come!

St Patricks Day!!!

2011-03-16T17:40:00.003-06:00

In case anyone didn't know, tomorrow is St Patricks Day and as someone who is very proud of her Irish roots, it is one of my favorite holidays. I hope that you have a good day, however you choose to celebrate the day but please, be safe.

Oh hello blog...I remember you!

2011-02-12T21:30:00.005-07:00

So I realized that it has been a while since I updated (I'm very bad at this whole blogging thing)...here is a condensed version of a few of the highlights since my last post...

In January, we celebrate Matt's birthday. We had a birthday dinner for him at his parents' house with his parents, grandparents and sister Emily.

I'm not sure that Emily will appreciate this but I LOVE the look on Jonah's face! That kid cracks me up...I love him!

Naomi learned something new which is resulted in us having to adjust her mattress in her crib...Before

After...she has learned to pull herself up on things and has been doing it nonstop!

Naomi's "Uncle" Doug came to visit from Oklahoma City for a couple of days and it was a blast!

I am just waiting for all of the trouble they will get into together! ;0)

February so far as been nice and quiet (knock on wood). Naomi is cutting her two top front teeth and thankfully is doing just as good as she did with her bottom two. I'm not sure why we got so lucky with such an easy going child but hey, I'm not going to complain. Life is pretty much normal and quiet in our neck of the woods which I am grateful for.

New Family Pictures

2010-12-27T15:49:00.008-07:00

Matt's sister Christina is here for Christmas and she was nice enough to take some new family pictures for us. Thanks Tina!

Our cutie pie!

Even Allie got in on the action! ;0)

We love our girl!

Stop embarassing me Dad!

Oh boy are we in for it when she gets older!

Such a goof ball!

Christmas

2010-12-27T15:34:00.003-07:00

Christmas this year was very special for us because it was the first one with Naomi. We went over to my parents house in the morning and opened presents with them and then we were able to go over and spend the rest of the day with Matt's family. It was a very good day, despite the fact the Matt was sick and Naomi is cutting teeth and had a 102 degree fever.
My Grandma got Naomi a pillow and made her 2 pillow cases which are adorable!

Teagan absolutley adores Naomi and loves to be where ever she is.

Of course, Naomi loves the wrapping paper just as much as anything else, if not more ;0) Thank you to all of our family for making this a very memorable Christmas.

This is one of those toys that eventually she will be able to push around and she loves it. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Mackay!

New pics

2010-12-16T07:54:00.005-07:00

Here are some new pictures that I took yesterday of little miss cutie pie.

First.....

2010-12-15T12:05:00.003-07:00

Bath in the sink! Lol, it wasn't exactly a huge success but we got her clean. Her Nana, told me a trick to use for next time so we'll have to see how it works. I love the facial expression!

Our Princess...

2010-12-05T08:16:00.003-07:00

A couple weeks ago, Naomi's Papa took some more pics of her (it's hard not to when you have such a cute model!) while we were hanging out at their house. They were all so cute but here are some of my favorites!

Hehe..such a personality!

Yes, our daughter has mastered "Blue Steele". Her daddy is so proud! Lol

Cereal...Yay!

2010-11-19T14:59:00.003-07:00

Since Miss Priss is now 4 months old, our Pediatrician told us that it was okay to go ahead and start her on rice cereal. The very first time I gave it to her she made a face every time I gave her a bite but she kept letting me give it to her so I labeled it a success! Now we just have to work on getting her to eat more of it.

Some of her facial expressions just crack me right up! :o)

Pics by Papa...

2010-11-19T14:44:00.004-07:00

These are some pictures that Matt's dad (aka Papa) took when we were over there a couple of weeks ago and I thought they were really cute.

She LOVES this toy alot and understandably so, it lights up and makes music!

I love this girl soooo much!

I r very cozy. :o)

Update...

2010-11-01T11:30:00.005-06:00

Since it has been so long since I have posted anything, I thought I would post some of the newer pics of Naomi.

It starts early...

2010-11-01T11:19:00.003-06:00

Anyone that know us knows that Matt is a big gamer. Well, Naomi loves to sit and watch him play. I'm not sure if I should gear myself up to have another gamer in the family or not. ;0)

This is what it looks like....

And then they notice I'm there...I love the faces!

More Halloween Fun!

2010-11-01T09:35:00.003-06:00

Teagan absolutely loves Naomi and loves to hold every chance she gets! Here they are cuddled up after we had got home and everyone was relaxing.

There was another thing that made Halloween great, we got to hear Naomi laugh for the first time! After we got back from Trick or Treating I was changing Naomi's diaper and Andi started talking to her and this is what happened.

Halloween 2010

2010-11-01T09:15:00.006-06:00

This Halloween was so fun for me! Our original plan was for Matt to be Mario, I would be Princess Peach and Naomi would be Toadstool. When we went to find a Princess Peach costume, they didn't have one that fit so we went with Plan B. Matt dressed up as Mario, Naomi was Toadette instead of Toadstool and I was Luigi! Saturday night we went to our wards Trunk or Treat and had a blast and Sunday night we went over to my parents house and had a awesome time!

Our cutie Toadette! Credit goes to her Nana for helping make her skirt and hat!

Here we go!

Us with my brother Braden and sister Teagan

Daddy and his girl!

While we walked around w/ my brother and sister, my Dad stayed behind to hand out candy. Doesn't he look thrilled. ;0)

All in all, I would have to rate our first Halloween w/ Naomi a huge success!

3 weeks old

2010-07-21T13:04:00.002-06:00

Our amazingly strong daughter has loved lifting her head up and looking around since she was born!

That's right, we've almost mastered binky!! Woot Woot!!

Naomi Jean is Here!!!

2010-06-30T09:24:00.015-06:00

This is Aunty Tina posting here for the new family. Early this morning Elisha delivered sweet Naomi Jean at 12:16am. It was a way fast delivery and NO drugs were involved. I swear Elisha is an Amazon Warrior Queen. Hardly any pushing and both Mom and baby are doing great!

She is so strong that as she was lying here she kept kicking and turning her head. I was so impressed with the strength this sweet baby has.

They had her in the little warmer for a long time (maybe an hour) to get her to keep her oxygen up, so no one could hold her. Matt would just rub her back and she so loved it!

The happy family.

Vitals: 6lbs. 14ozs. and just under 19 inches long.

She is the sweetest, calm little one. Matt and Elisha are doing great and just wanted you all to get a glimpse of Naomi.

GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

2010-06-11T09:06:00.002-06:00

For those of you who don't know me very well, I am a very big soccer fan. I played for about 6 years and am very excited that the 2010 World Cup started today! Matt is also a huge fan, although we are going for different teams. I am going for USA and he is showing his loyalty to Italy. So if you see us arguing or looking like we aren't getting along, don't worry, it will only last a month (or until one of our teams gets knocked out) ; )

Sweet!....cont'd

2010-06-10T13:05:00.003-06:00

Just this past weekend, Matt and his Dad went and picked up the crib and put it together. It looks awesome and fits perfectly with the room!

Sweet!

2010-06-10T12:43:00.010-06:00

I am very grateful that over Memorial Day weekend my parents came and helped me with a couple of major things at the house because Matt was out town. One of them being finishing the babies room. It turned out so amazing and I am so in love with it! I think it has become Matt and I's favorite room in the house.

Baby Naomi's Room

2010-05-06T12:31:00.006-06:00

This past weekend Matt & I and his parents went and picked out paint for the babies room and yesterday Matt and his mom started painting. It's not 100% finished but I am already in love with it! I decided that I should probably take a few pictures and post them.

I think Matt was having a little too much fun

I'm very grateful that Matt's mom was willing to come and help him since I wasn't able to.

We started by doing the ceiling a nice white.

And Lavender for the walls. Matt was very proud of himself because he picked out the color.

Even though I wasn't actually doing any painting I still managed to get some on me. Hmm....wonder how that happened? *cough* matt *cough*

We are so in love with this color! Everytime Matt goes into the room he just starts to laugh he's so excited. We can't wait to see the complete finished product!

Baby's first sonogram!!!

2010-01-18T14:21:00.001-07:00

will you help me read this?

Crazy Dog

2009-10-19T11:43:00.003-06:00

So Matt and I were running some errands this morning and we are just about headed home and we get a call from Yolanda letting us know that our crazy dog, Allie, decided to go out on the roof from her deck!

Catch up 2, my B-Day and State Fair!

2009-10-10T22:07:00.000-06:00

Every year for the past 3 years Matt has taken me to the State Fair Rodeo for my birthday and luckily we got to go again this year!
This was before I knew we would spend an hour in traffic because a semi had gotten run off the road. Boo!

Aaron Tippin's tour bus. I tried to see him but could get close enough. =(

We had box seats and were directly across from the flag. Go USA!

Very funny clown named Gizmo McCracken

Matt walked around the whole arena to find a concession stand with big cups and fountain drinks. He had to settle for a big cup and a bottled soda.

Matt pointed the camera at me and this is was happened. Weirdo, I know.

In car after, I thought we needed a couple of new pics of us

And this is what happened as a result of that thought! ;)

It was a very awesome night and I'm grateful that Matt takes me and puts up with all my yell while we're there!

Catch up one, My Dad's B-Day

2009-10-10T21:57:00.001-06:00

I have a bit of catching up to do and I decided to start with my Dad's B-Day party which was at the end of August.

Me and my buddy B. He's a pretty awesome brother when he wants to be.

Blowing out the candles, that's (from left to right) my cousin Matt, my sister Teagan, my dad and my brother Braden and me

We had a fun night and I was glad to get to spend time with my side of the family.

Apologies....

2009-09-17T20:46:00.000-06:00

So I gotta apologize cause I know that I've been really bad and this whole blogging thing. I promise in the next few days I'll let you know what we've up to (I've got lots!)

Ok Tina

2008-11-23T20:35:00.000-07:00

So I told Tina when I started this that I would not have a lot to write about but I'll update anyway. Nothing new has really happened except that Friday Matt, Anna, Ryan, Sam and I went to see Twilight! It was awesome! Now, that being said, for those of you who have read the books and love them, don't go into this movie thinking that it's going to be exactly like the books because it's not. Go into to expecting it to be a tad different from the movies and you'll enjoy it. Let's see, oh ya, Matt and I have our 3 year anniversary coming up this Wednesday! Woo Hoo! Thanksgiving is coming up too! I LOVE Thanksgiving and having an excuse to eat a butt load of food. What makes it even better is that we get to have 2 Thanksgivings! One with my Dad and Step-Mom and one with Matt's family so twice the food! I'll see if I can get an updated picture of Matt and I to put up so until next time......

Hola

2008-10-29T23:24:00.001-06:00

Hi there, I'm Elisha, the spokesperson for The Three Amigos. We consist of myself, my husband Matt and our dog Allie, who is really treated more like a person than a dog. I decided to try this blogging thing for my sister-in-law Tina. She thought it would be a good idea for me to do one and I can't really say no to her. = )

This is Allie, she pretty much runs the show at our house

This is Matt and his amazingly awesome Donatello hat.

This is me (Elisha)
