Catching up

As you can see I have changed the name of my blog from " Mom of 2" to " Tucker Gang".  I thought that it was time for a change.  I know that it has been awhile sense I have posted on here.  Life has been crazy this summer.  My parents decided to remodel the main area of their house which was much needed so we have been helping them with that and getting in their veggie garden. Over Memorial Day we went camping with a mission friend of mine, her family has property in St. George.

This is one of my favorite pictures from that trip.  Paul was cold from after suffering from heat stroke and so he found the only spot where the sun was and sat down looking into the field where there were cows.

 

 

In July was my family reunion at Moon Lake, Mark was unable to go do to work so the kids and I loaded up in my mom's car and went with them for a week long of much need rest and fun.  First we stopped in Coleville to camp at camper world over the weekend and then Monday we headed to Moon Lake to camp with my Aunt Janet and Uncle Verl and then Thursday we move to the group site for the family reunion. It ended up raining most of the time, but we still played hard. We had a horseshoe tournament and I teamed up with my dad.  We ended up loosing but it was a lot of fun and I learned that I could really play. 

 

A few weeks ago I have started home schooling Paul, Lilly, and Rickylyn.  We have school three days a week. It has been great fun and Paul is able to learn beyond the 2 hours that school time is.  Not only that but Lilly and Rickylyn can start at age 2 instead of waiting till next year to be in school.  The all are very smart and love the idea that I am the teacher and that they get to learn a lot of fun stuff.  This month they are learning about their bodies and how it works, it is interesting and fun to see the colors they color their organs and where on thier body outlines they place them.  But they love learning about what and how their bodies work.  So now you can see why life has been crazy. 

 

We are doing great and are glad to be able to teach our children.
