Pictures of The Savior

As I was online today searching for different pictures of Christ, I found so many that I not only love, but that I have never seen before. I love that some if not alot of these were painted by so many different denominations. These two pictures of Christ particularly stood out to me. I usually don't like the ones of him smiling real big, only becuase I haven't seen any artist portray him in the way I see him smiling that big, but I did like these two! As I flipped past both of these, I couldn't help but realize that these pics reminded me of my husband Austen! The features even resemble each other! I really did! I said it to Austen & I could see that he was flattered, but he said, "no don't compare me to Him, becuase is it CHRIST", (and he holds him so sacredly.) But I said, I see what you're saying honey, but you also have to realize that we are supposed to be like him! I think it's great that I saw you in this! He smiled. And these really do remind me of Austen. Not just the similar features, but the way he is having a good time, and is so loving to children, and & how children are drawn to him! :)  I am in no way saying that He is right up there by Jesus, I still want there to be that level of all due respect, but I still think it neat that this reminded me of him. :)

I LOVE all my pics of my little niece Ella, but I just realized I need to put one up of the mama that did all the work! Don't worry Coley, one's a comin! (my dumb camera card is acting up?!) Love u Coley! ;)

IT'S A GIRL!! FINALLY!!! (after SEVEN Tucker grandsons, there's finally a GIRL!)

Beautiful little "Ella Marie Tucker". The very first Tucker grand-daughter!

Boy is she going to be spoiled by her aunt Stephi! Look at all that hair! We were SO glad we got to go see her! Best trip in a long time! I love you already my sweet little niece! :)

PROUD Daddy!

"Precious"

My sweet little niece! And look at all that HAIR!!?!

"Proud Aunt!"

Brendan was so gentle with her. He loves babies!

Ella Marie Tucker

(Austen needs a girl!)

More of that sweet little Ella! The boys just fell in love with her, like the rest of us!

Proud Cousin! Brendan was SO excited to meet little Ella! He kept asking "are we there yet"? All the way there!

I updated my playlist! (Austen always finds the best music!)

Austen's Promotion!!!

Austen has been working sales for DISH Network the past 6 months or so, and it has been really slow because of winter time. Well, the 2nd day after we moved into Logan, Austen got a phone call, and they promoted him to become the new Area Tech Manager! We are so excited! He oversee's & installs everything from Logan, Brigham City, Treemonton & Preston Id! I am so proud of him & we are so thankful the Lord provided this excellent job! The pay is alot better too! We will miss him as he has to be gone more, but we have been praying that something would work out, and...even though the answers don't always come right away, I believe that if we are patient, the Lord will provide! :)

We are moved!

Well, it's finally over! (has been for a few weeks, but this is the first chance I have had to sit down & blog about it!) Anyway, we got all moved, made a GREAT trip to Rexburg to see my DARLING little niece "Ella Marie" and made it back safe again! Stuart & Nicole have the sweetest little baby girl (first one on the Tucker side too!) with tons of thick blond curly hair! I've never seen a baby with so much hair! My camera is acting up right now, but I will post pics soon, I promise!
We LOVE our new house! We love the location, just 2 blocks from campus & 2 blocks from the Logan Temple, and there's so much room! I think they said it's alomst 2000 sq feet altogether! The boys just don't know what to do with all this room to run, not to mention having a toy room in addition to their bedroom! And....I have a sewing room! YEAH! (well, techinically it's my sewing room/ Austen's study!) We still keep the computer out in the living room, so there's even more room in the study! It's very nice. It also has all brand new carpet & flooring throughout the entire house, so that is SO nice now that little Eli is trying to crawl! New paint, lots of updates, beautifully landscaped as well! There is a nice patio off the back that will be great for BBQ's this summer! There is just so much to look forward to! We can't wait to get setteled & have friends & family over! We are very thankful the Lord provided such a wonderful place for us to be a family & so convenient for Austen to finish school! Pics coming soon! :)

"From the Mouth of Babes"

These past few weeks Brendan & Liamm & I have been practicing the song "I am a child of God" now that we have the piano in the house! (yeah!) I play & they follow along with the piano. It is very cute. Brendan knows all the words by heart to the first verse, and cute little Liamm simply sings the words "I am a child of God" throught the whole entire song! (very cute!) Well, yesterday, as I was explaining to Brendan that there were two more verses to the song, he said he wanted to learn them. So, I took each sentance, one at a time & had him repeat them after me. The first sentance of the 2nd verse says "I am a child of God, & so my needs are great". Brendan followed along great, & we got it down. Then, b4 we could start on the 3rd verse, Eli started needing me, so I went to get up & Brendan stopped me & said "wait Mommy, what about the other one?" I said "the other what"? He said you know the other song (he meant the 3rd verse) so I said "oh you want to learn the 3rd verse to"? And then he said, "yeah, you know, I am a child of God, & so my 'arms' are great too"!!!! Ha ha! I asked him, "Your arms??" And he said "yeah, you know like the other one says my 'knees" are great"! I laughed & explained the difference, but I thought it was so cute! He was probably sitting there thinking we were singing how we are thankful for our bodies, since we were talking about that a while back too! Ha ha! I just had to write that one down! :) Oh the innocence of babes!
