Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses

We were very lucky to go back home and visit with the fam the past few weeks. We got to go swimming at Nannys a lot which Tucker is SO in love with. He refuses to stay in any floating device and wants to be right in the water so he can get his face in and splash and play. He is a pro at holding his breath... It makes GG nervous, but it makes me feel good that he will be a great swimmer and not one of those kids who is afraid of the water:) He likes to sit on the side and scoot until he can lean over and jump in, which is so stinkin cute! This trip was mostly about relaxing so we did lots of it! Swimming and hanging out at the house with the fam:) We played outside with Cam (GG and Pops puppy) and watched Pops work in the garden. We saw lightning bugs, and trees everywhere. (Pretty sure Tucker didnt know what to make of all the trees at first, haha) Tucker played flash cards with GG on the iPad and loved it... He also started dancing as soon as we got there and hasnt stopped since, lol. We had lots of yummy watermelon which might just be Tuckers new favorite fruit.. Jake helped my dad take down the old light in the kitchen and install a ceiling fan, which looks FAB! They also installed a motion scensor light in the backyard so we would have any ankle rolling for the GG or twisted knees for aunt Katie. All in all, we had such a blast and feel so blessed that we got to visit with everybody. We did a lot of other things but i am so tired i cant even think so here are the pictures!! A BIG thanks to GG and Pops for all that you have done and continue to do for us.  We love you so much and are thankful to have you in our lives. LOVE YOU!!!

"Talking" on the phone with GG

Well, this is obviously almost 2 weeks late, but we were having too much fun in VA that i completely forgot to blog about Tuckers 1st Birthday!! May 30, 2010 was quite an exciting one for the Saxton's here in Kansas. We continue to be reminded everyday how blessed we are to have such a kind-hearted, loving, sweet, laid back, ADORABLE son. He is the greatest thing that we have been blessed with and we have no idea what we would do without him. For Tuckers birthday we were in VA! It was so great to have so much family and friends to help celebrate with us:) His birthday was on Memorial Day so we celebrated at our family annual Memorial Day pool party! It was so much fun and pretty much the PERFECT day. Here are some pictures of the birthday boy!
