A Random List

No pictures for this post.

A few things I am grateful for:
1. My family
2. The Dairy Queen by Sean and Ky's opening up FINALLY!
3. Finding out there is going to be a Cafe Rio opening by our house. (well kind of) pretty soon!
4. I am able to take more classes and this will give me another raise NEXT August.
5. That I have parents who are willing to help pay for my education that NEVER seems to end. I have been a student for way to long now and I have more education then many people I know...and THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THEN ME!!!!!!!!!
6. For Tucker's amazing daycare and all the LOVE and attention he has received from her and her WHOLE family. It is going to be VERY SAD to have to move him in August...I will probably cry!
7. For everyday that I get to spend with Tucker...and Mickey too. I love to spend time with my guys.

That's all!

Tucker is going to be ONE SOON! I am already planning his party! I have had the picnic space at the park rented out for like 5 months now! I know I am nuts...but I want it to be great and special...even though he won't remember it.

Dolphin Habitat and the Secret Garden

Tucker and I spend a lot of time inside and we have been alone a lot of nights becuase Mickey has been working two jobs (his last day of doing this is Monday!).


I decided last weekend that we needed to do something and get out of the house and spend time together without the TV as a distraction. So, the genius that I am I decided that it would be a great idea to go and do outside activities (in the 115 degree weather!). We had taken Tucker to Shark Reef a few weeks ago and he really enjoyed it so I though another aquatic adventure would be perfect! We met Sean, Ky, their son Jordan, Shawn, Dawn, and their two sons Trent and Eric at the Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage. It was schorching hot outside so hot that our feet were on fire from the bottom becuase the ground was so hot. The kids were all great sports and not too much complaining! We must have showed up at the right time because we got to see the "random interactions" with the dolphins as the trainers came out to play with the dolphins. All the boys enjoyed the jumps and silly noises from the dolphins!
It was so bright outside the Sean needed to wear Tucker's shades! Jordan was so excited to see the dolphins
and so was Trent!
There it is....
and there is goes.
So much fun!
Mickey really ruins every picture and he might not be allowed in the next ones we take!

Eric and Jordan checking out eh dolphins from below...pretty sweet!
We really had an amazing day despite the fact that I forgot a spoon and a BOTTLE! What a bad mom! Tucker got to drink out of a water bottle and he ate after we left. He was a trooper though no crying at all and he loved every minute of his day. Maybe we have a Marine Biologist on our hands!
