Yeah, when I’m feeding Elliot, some days things can get pretty wild around this place…as evident in Tuckers home videos.
Enjoy–

Meet our Fish (named water) (Tucker is talking)…

Tucker and Truman (at our house when you need a few minutes to yourself, you ask for alone time. Sometimes to get Elliot to eat well, with out his brothers jumping on top of him, I have to ask for alone time.) Truman was apparently in a silly mood this day.

Not sure what happened here, but love to hear Tucker apologizing to Truman. Also, remembering that someone is in tears at least a third of the day:

Again, I sometime wonder what my kids are doing when I am not watching. Now I guess I kind of know? The boys setting up a ‘war’, Nothing eventful, just my boys being my boys.

You can’t see it, because of the way the camera was situated, but Tucker set up an elaborate ‘war’ on the table. I wanted to share the beginning of the video though, because it just makes me laugh.

I saved the best for last, my favorite….Super Tucker:

As you can see, there is NEVER a dull moment in this house. Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did.

We have lived in our current house for over 2 years, but no one here knew my older boys as babys. I constantly get asked, who does Elliot look like? And truth be told, I am not sure who he looks like…but pulled a few baby pictures of my other boys at about the same age. You be the judge, I’d love to hear your opinions!

So over a week ago Toph showed me this video,I had heard the message before, but it warmed my heart ‘to see it’.

Since watching this, there hasn’t been a day that has gone by that I haven’t thought about the message President Hinckley shared with us. I have told my children about it. We watched it together, and we’ve talked about it. I’ve thought about what I am doing to encourage them to make the good choice similar to what these young boys have done, and what choices am I making daily help those around me.

I am inspired to do and be better, and hope it does the same for you.

Elliot has been blessed to born into a family with so many people who love him. It has been so fun to have people come to our home and meet him, and just to spend so much time with family….

My sister-in-law Tiff brought her kids down, it was so fun to have them here, and amazing to see how tiny Elliot looks in comparison to Eleanor. She is only 5 months older–

When the kids saw us putting these two together, they all wanted to be in the picture… Here are all the Greene Grandkids together. Aren’t they cute? I think so, but I maybe a little biased!

The Great Grandparent Hunsakers (My grandparents), came down to meet our sweet little man with Grams and Gramps…we had a good night of company and pizza.



Dad borrowed Great Grandpas glasses…made us laugh…

The Evelyns came down and enjoyed a nice meal of sauerkraut and sausage. Not to many people would enjoy that meal, we’re grateful they too share similar tastes as our family!

(no picture of all the little boys, as they were all running/playing together!)

It’s been so fun to introduce Elliot to those we love…

We’ve had some grand adventures, us two…

No one I would rather have done it with.
Love you sweets.

On his last birthday (which was shortly before Elliots birth, hence the tardiness of the post), Tucker turned 6 Years old!

Tucker is such a wonderful boy, he is creative, enthusiastic, smart and so lovable. The older he gets, the more and more we’ve come to love this sweet boy!

Since Tuckers birthday falls during the Holiday Season, we were celebrating up in Logan.
–The birthday day…
Instead of the traditional birthday donuts, Tucker chose French Toast (which Grandma Phillips graciously made for him)…

He got some fun new presents including, Bionicles (thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker),

Legos (Thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa Greene),

Robot Sweater,

New Bank (Which is like an ATM, and counts and keeps track of your money, Tucker uses this daily)

and a Sewing Machine.

I taught him how to use the sewing machine for a few minutes, and soon he did it by himself, and made a pillow,

It was a fun morning celebrating with people we love,



Again, as Tucks Birthday falls on a holiday, he gets to celebrate with the Yummy, Yummy Phillips family Traditional Dinner/Party…

And with all of this yummy food, Tuck wanted a birthday cheese sandwich…

More Shots,

And Tucker is spoiled by his Aunt Cat, who made him a yummy birthday cake, don’t you want some cake right now? After looking at this one, I totally do!


He got more presents,This wonderful picture from Patrick, which is hanging next to his bed,

and played more with his bank, with all of his cousins, grandma and dad!

Tucker is very lucky to have so many people who love him!!

–Before his birthday, Tucker was excited about his party. He got ready for his friend party before Christmas,
Tucker didn’t want homemade invites this year, he chose out these ones

and hand wrote all the words

We couldn’t find a robot pinata (again), but we found this one (batman), and stuffed it,

Then transformed him to this,

–Friends Birthday Party
We had a great time, Tucker invited his friends and cousins, and of course, it was a ROBOTS themed party all around!
Here he is dressed for the party (according to the theme) a Robot…

We started by making ourselves into robots…

Then played a game of ‘Robot Says’, doing Robot Moves…

Robot Bingo anyone?

Load up your bags, and head downstairs…

For robot PINATA time…

After our bags were filled with sweet robot treats, we filled our bellies with robot cupcakes and icecream…


It was a great birthday party. Thanks to my Family who helped pull it off!
And of course, we’re grateful for our Tuck-man, a reason to celebrate everyday of the year!

My new favorite ‘commercials’…

(This little boy in the above video, reminds Toph and I both of Truman..)

I am grateful to belong to a church that values, and puts a priority on family. And I’m glad to be married to a man, who feels the same.

As Christopher said about these videos, “It’s great being a dad”.

Yep, and it’s great to be a momma too.

Especially when they’re named RYAN. Today is his Birthday, happy birthday big brother!

Big brothers are special because they teach you many things throughout your lifetime.
I have been taught some important lessons….
–If your big brother cuts your hair off, and sticks it under the rug, and then your mom finds you, you still have to go get your hair cut, and you still look like a boy.
–At a young age, drinking Benadryl, even though your big brother says it’s lemonaide, is still Benadryl.
–Helping and serving others does make you happier.
–If you have an older sibling who is awesome at school, the teachers just assume you’re awesome too.
–Volvo’s are very sturdy cars in crashes.
–Big brother’s can get younger siblings to do anything, like clean up other siblings throwup, Stay in their rooms, and so on, and so on.
–Caveman games and Vegas Dreams are awesome Nintendo games.
–Happiness does come from Choosing the Right and Serving the Lord.
–Being willing to help those around you blesses their lives. (I would know considering you’ve helped us move and move, and then put up crown molding, and put in sprinkling systems, and etc.)
(I am sure Amy and Eric could add many a things to this list too! 🙂 )
I’m a lucky girl to have a big brother like him.
Hope your day is fantastic Ry-Guy. Love you!

Toph and the boys made this, Can’t help but love Jib Jabs, but especially ones with elves in them!
