Thoughts

1) I love the Masters.  It is by far my favorite tournament - thank goodness for HDTV coverage.

2) Thanks Anna and Zeb for giving me a reason to "detail" the interior of my car...maybe it will stay clean for 24 hours - guess that means I can't take Tucker for a ride for 24 hours since that is how it gets nasty.

3) I love unexpected visits from friends - Kim surprised us at work yesterday and it was a wonderful visit.

4) Our dog is spoiled...and I am not sure how it happened...I blame his grandparents and his father...not me

5) Why the heck is it 89 degrees in April??

6) I think it is nap time now...

Tucker, A Box, and A Door...

Andrew won a new wedge from a custom wedge shop last week - and his new toy showed up today.  The box it arrived in was sitting on our bed and a certain someone pulled some of the packing paper out of the box...so Andrew took it away from him and picked up the box and pretended to hit Tucker with it.  Well wise little one bit the box and of course Drew let him have it.  And this is what happened....

And yes - he backed from the kitchen to the bedroom...only one problem...the box is too wide at that angle for the doorway.  When the box hit the doorway, Tucker dropped the box and immediately growled at it for not going back in the bedroom with him...

And in case you are wondering - yes, we are very proud parents.

Thanks Grumps!

Tucker got a present in the mail this past week.  It was made especially for him by his Grumps...

Tucker says he will share his table when we have company...how sweet of him!

Happy Birthday Tucker

Tuck-man, Butter-Bean, Whinny-Pants, Oreo Cookie, Wild Man...Today is your first birthday.  We are so glad you came to live with us - we love you and all your craziness.  Just a few pictures from today so we can compare in future years and laugh about how you have changed.

Brilliant One...

Go ahead and flip your monitor sideways because we can't flip the video, but here is Tucker showing off his IQ...

Rain is a Good Thing

Right?  Rain is a good thing for farmers, for drinking water supplies, etc...but rain is a very bad thing in the middle of a Friday night when you had committed to cutting the backyard grass for the first time this season around 10am.  On the flip side of it, maybe it is a good thing - get the house cleaned then make all sorts of (healthy, ignore previous post) yummy things for dinner this coming week.  Cook rather than exercise, why not?  Excuse me while I finish my second cup of coffee so I can begin cleaning and then maybe I will take the dog for a walk before going to Kroger....

Yummmy

Have I mentioned I have "sweet teeth" not a tooth, and it is a daily issue.  Anyway, banana pudding is one of my (many) favorite desserts.  So I HAD (read: life would not be the same if I didn't before time ran out) to try the new, limited-time only, banana pudding milkshake at Chick-Fil-A.  And, whoa doggie...it is awesome! Tastes just like banana pudding!  Go try one, you can tell them to hold the cherry - but do yourself a favor, keep the whipped cream...
