Misc. Updates


Pictures of Tucker and Avery having fun one morning in Tucker's car seat. Not too much happening in the Mills family right now, just counting down until the holidays and our baby girl arrives. We still don't have any good names picked out so suggestions are definitely welcome.

Tucker Updates:
He has started saying prayers on his own, which is the cutest and my favorite thing he does right now. He is also going through a phase where he prefers me sometimes slightly over Sheldon, which is kind of nice since he has always been such a Daddy's boy :)

Elaine Updates:
I got a coupon in the mail from our local grocery store for a free turkey up to 24 lbs!! That's right totally free! Sheldon and I bought it last weekend and it would have cost $20. It's huge, I'm hoping it will fit in my roaster I have. You can tell my life isn't very exciting when I update about good deals I get.

Sheldon Updates:
Still playing soccer lots, working hard at work setting up an American Marketing Association chapter in Utah. I'm very excited that Wednesday has now become his night to cook dinner, so guess who's not cooking dinner tonight!

And just to round out this post, a cute video of Tucker jumping, one of his favorite things to do. I love how he tries to copy Sheldon's somersault, he still needs a little practice.

Olsen Family Visit

My Mom came up to visit us the week after Halloween since my Dad was on a business trip. We had lots of fun shopping and going to story time together. I didn't get many pictures, but I did take some pictures when we went to a park on Saturday. It was great that my Dad was also able to come up after his business trip.

We were going to play Bocce ball at the park but we realized the little white ball was missing. So instead Sheldon came up with the fun game of trying to walk on all the balls. Sheldon was really good at it, I was definitely not. I blame it on my big belly throws my balance off.













We had lots of fun enjoying the warm weather. Sadly, I think it may have been the last of the warm weather, it has been snowing this week.

Mustache!

Somehow my sister and my cousin always come up with funniest things to teach Tucker. The latest trick is having him put his finger under his nose and say "Mustache!" I think it's one of my favorites so far. Here are a few pictures and the video at the end.





Halloween 2010

We had such a fun Halloween this after and post-Halloween since my Mom came to visit us all last week. Sheldon and Tucker made for some very scary pirates. I kind of pooped out in the costume department, I did not feel like dressing up as a pregnant pirate or as a pregnant anything else. Sheldon's work does a great trick-or-treat and it was so fun this year for Tucker. He loved finding the bowls of candy that people had left by their offices and putting it in his little bag.


Whenever Tucker looks at these pictures of himself, he always says messy face.

Avery was a cute little cupcake this year, although you can't really tell from this picture. She was definitely scared of Sheldon's pirate costume.


On Saturday night we just stayed home and handed out candy since we had gone to a ward trunk or treat the night before. We were really excited to hand out candy this year since we got big candy bars to hand out! We don't get very many trick or treaters since we are a basement apartment, we have to bribe them to stop at our house. Tucker loved handing out the candy though and he would say "see ya" and then close the door when they left. It was definitely the most fun I've hand handing out candy. We also let Tucker try some root beer and of course he was a big fan.


This is a video of Tucker eating some candy on Halloween. I just love the way he says M&M's. Please ignore my big belly in the background :)
