the hunt is on!!

It was pretty chilly outside but it didn't stop Koriann from hunting!!
I think Zeke had just as much fun as Koriann.
Koriann digging through her loot.

Koriann finding her Easter basket, she was so excited!!
Zeke went crazy putting out candy and eggs everywhere for his little girl!!
While cleaning the yard we discovered tulips that we didn't even know were there.
Opening the egg to see what's inside.

I really love this picture, Zeke loves to be involved with everything we do!!


Koriann was so cute finding all of her eggs, we probably went a little over board on the eggs, but she is the apple of our eye. That and Zeke really enjoys spoiling her!!! She had to open every egg before putting it in her sack. He facial expressions were priceless. Koriann would say" oh this so cool, or wow" after opening every egg. It was so fun to see how excited she would get when she would find an egg. She would pass over a few on her way to pick one up then hurry and run back to get the others. Overall we had such a great day, granted it could of been better weather but oh well.

Easter Egg Dying

Koriann was lovin' the dye cups and only tried drinking out of it once, luckily we caught her in time.
Love love this little girl and the sweetness she brings to our home!!
Zeke's cool eggs!!
Koriann and her daddy had so much fun, he would do anything to make her happy!!

We dyed our eggs early Saturday morning and it was so much fun this year. Koriann is getting more and more into the holidays and it makes it so much fun!! She had a hard time putting the eggs softly into the dye, so we had dye everywhere, but we didn't care it can all be cleaned up and it's just stuff. Koriann really enjoyed writing on the eggs then seeing them come out of the dye.

Yard Work Part 2

Our new windows!!! It's so nice that we can actually see outside now!!
Koriann Easter present from Grandma and Grandpa Tucker, she loves it and so do I!!!
Zeke's hard work is really paying off. The yard is really starting to come together, I really appreciate all that he does!!
Yes, no more trees!! Zeke only has this one stump left to remove, and boy were the other 2 huge!!
The east side of our house can now actually get sunshine.


I just have to say what a amazing guy Zeke is, he is the best. The past week he has been working so hard outside on the yard, even though he leaves early in the morning and doesn't get home till late. There was so much junk in our yard from the previous owner and Zeke has gotten rid of it all, now you can actually see the back yard. Now all he has left to do is remove those ugly awnings from over the windows. Oh and we need to plant the yard, if this weather would ever cooperate. Thanks Zeke for all your hard work and taking time to still spend with Koriann and myself.

No more ugly trees - Part 1

Ya there was a tree this size on each side of the house, so ugly.
Cuting down the first one, and you can see the other one in the background.

Zeke thought maybe we should of just trimmed them all up like this one, but I said no!!

The worst part about the trees was they were all leaning toward the house pretty bad. It was kinda scary when the wind would blow, I thought they might come on the house.


We finally were able to get the hideous pines trees cut down aroung our house. Seriously who in the heavens plants pine trees right next to a house? They were huge and really just a pain in the but. Hopefully now everything will grow good since our yard can actually see the sun now.

I couldn't believe how tall they were until Zeke measured them, 70+ feet tall. Holy smokes did they cause a mess they came down. It took forever to clean up all the branches and rake the pine needles and cones up. All that is left is the stumps and Zeke already has one of them out.

Oh we also got new windows this last week also, can I just say how nice it is to have them. We love them and it is nice to be able to actually open a window.

Up next is seeding the lawn, putting in the garden, and a play area for Koriann! Lots of things to do, poor Zeke. I think he is ready for this baby also so that I can help with scratch some things of our to do list.

Zeke doing lots of hard work and me not so much!

Koriann was so so excited when she saw the pool!!

Zeke is so good to his little girl, he would do anything for her!!
Zeke being the great dad that he is took her swimming every chance we got.
Koriann was a little nervous at first but soon warmed right up to it. She really has only been in a big pool twice, usually she just swims in her little pool at home. Koriann was getting real brave and started thinking she didn't need daddy's help since she had her floaties.

I should have been better and took more pics of the weekend, but I just didn't feel like it with me having contractions and all the whole weekend!!



I am so ready to have this baby!! I really hate the last few weeks of pregnancy, it is so uncomfortable. No matter what you do you just can't feel good, you feet hurt, you can't sleep and everything else just seems like a monumental task right? At least that is how I feel. But luckily I have Zeke here to pick up the slack, even though he already works so hard. I think right now Koriann even anticipates him coming home more than I do, because then she really gets to play. He has been so good to make dinner, do dishes, bathe Koriann and just give her as much attention as possible, oh and he gives me massages just because he is great like that.
A few weeks a go we went to Tanda's homecoming, which was way great, but it was horrible traveling and me having to sit for that long. I was miserable, but I knew Zeke wanted to go so he could see his family and he didn't want to leave me home alone. Koriann and him had a blast swimming and it was really great for Koriann to be around her older cousins, since she is the baby of them all. All the cousins came swimming and were in the hot tub and Koriann just wanted to be right there with the big kids, it was to cute.
I think Zeke favorite part of the trip was giving Zeb his boots, he worked so hard on them, so he had better like them!! All in all we had a very enjoyable trip and Koriann had a blast and played way to hard. On the way home she was sound asleep before we even got to church rock!!
