Right after Tucker was born Luke was going thru his "wipie" stage. (We went thru a lot of wipes during this time) I laid Tucker down and went into the kitchen to get a diaper, the wipes were on the couch and Luke was next to Tuck on the floor. I changed Tucker's diaper and gave the old diaper to Luke and asked him to please put the diaper in the garbage. He was a great helper and agreed to do that for me. When Luke walked back into the living room he had his wipe and he proceeded to wipe my arm, Tuck's face and clean his own face. I thought nothing of it because he was sitting right next to the wipe box when I walked into the kitchen. I picked Tucker up and walked into the kitchen for whatever reason and noticed that the diaper I gave Luke to throw out had been opened and the wipe was missing from it! I have to admit, while I was a little grossed out at the idea of being wiped with a "used" wipie I did find it a bit funny. I did however learn my lesson the first time around. I do NOT ask Tucker to throw away diapers.Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Wipes
Tucker has developed an infatuation that is similar to one Lucas had at his age. He LOVES wipes! Every time he gets a diaper change he says, "I need a wipe." Why does he need a wipe? After receiving his wipe he wipes his hands, face, and every toy he can get ahold of. When Luke was his age he LOVED cleaning all his toys with wipes! Tucker's new addiction to wipes reminded me of something Luke did that I would love to share.

Dover Days
Our days in Dover are passing quickly and soon we'll have to say goodbye. I have to admit while Dover wouldn't have been my first choice of places to be stationed it has been a lot of fun. Before coming home on vacation, where Luke would stay with my parents and not come back to Dover, he had many last play dates. His last trip to the pool, last Sunday at church, and last play date with Sophia. I know he's young and probably won't remember any of this, but I do hope he can keep some of these memories. They were good ones.
When Kent came to visit we got some good pics of the boys before church. Isn't he handsome!!
Tucker doesn't enjoy dressing up as much, but he is precious.
The boys really enjoy water balloon fights. Who would imagine you can spend .50 cents and have so much fun? The balloons look like hand grenades. Tucker dropped his first balloon and when I bent down to look under the care to see where it went he busted one right on my head! Little booger.
One of their current favorite past times is playing Mario Kart on the Wii. Luke is actually pretty good, he places higher then 12th now! Poor Tucker has no idea what's going on.
Here is Tucker playing with a remote control care before church, he loves his U of L hat.
Micah and the boys before church.
Me and the boys before church.
Luke's last day at the pool. He's gotten to be a good little swimmer, he doesn't require water wings anymore! Not because he can swim, but because he can touch!
They had so much fun with daddy.
Tuck enjoys floating around in his tube.

Update
Our family has had an exciting year and I thought now would be a good time to give an update. For those of you who didn't know Micah went to Kandahar, Afghanistan earlier this spring. He left on Easter Sunday and got back the Friday before Mother's Day. While he was there the boys and I came home to spend Easter in Kentucky. They had a great time with all of their family, and looked so cute in their Easter outfits!
Tucker is a hard booger to get a picture of!
This was Tucker's idea of hunting eggs...too bad it wouldn't fit in his basket.
Of course no trip to Kentucky is complete without a trip to the lake.
Is anyone surprised that we went fishing? I didn't think so.
Each of the boys got their very own super hero fishing poles! Mom ended up using Tucker's, he had a difficult time casting! Luke caught on pretty quick and really enjoyed fishing, this of course made dad very proud. He's taking credit for his love and devotion to bluegill fishing.
When Micah got back to Dover from his excursion to Afghanistan he learned he had received orders to Ramstein, Germany. Our report no later than date is October 30, 2009. It's been very hectic getting passports and hard orders so me and the boys get to go too. We have decided to take a vacation to Kentucky before he leaves for Travis for en route school. I think that's how it's spelled. We will be headed home on July 14th. The boys are very excited to visit their grandparents and of course go fishing! It's a little sad actually, when we leave here the boys will be staying in Kentucky while Micah and I come back to see our stuff get packed up and moved. I wonder if the boys will miss their home here? So anyways, just a few more days and we'll be saying goodbye Dover!

It's Been a While
I started blogging because I enjoy reading blogs and thought it would be fun to let everyone have a glimpse into our life here in Dover. I didn't realize that people are actually reading mine and that they wondered why I don't leave posts more often. Well I don't really feel like our life here is all that interesting, or at least interesting enough to write about and it's not that I don't have the time but I don't make the time to blog. I was reading blogs tonight and got inspired...so here it is.
Luke and Tucker enjoy riding around on this Mater truck provided by their Grandpa Wilson. I know it doesn't seem right with Luke riding and Tucker pushing, but they actually prefer it this way.
We had beautiful weather for a day or two that finally allowed us to play outside! The kids loved it and really needed to get out of the house...they are going stir crazy. Luke took puppy for a ride on the four wheeler.
And Tucker chose to spend his time on the playground. He loves sliding boards and doesn't even mind getting shocked EVERY time he goes down.
Two days later we received this beautiful blanket of snow. Sorry kiddo's.
We decided to venture out into the snow and Tucker, poor Tucker, looked like the kid from a Christmas Story. Believe it or not the only reason he was crying was because he hated the gloves!
Micah and Luke made an igloo and enjoyed playing in it. I think Micah had more fun in the snow than either of the boys did!
Two days after receiving ten inches of snow we headed to Macon to 70 degree weather. It's a wonder we weren't not all sick as dogs!

Tattoos
Luke, like many 3 year olds loves tattoos. His first was from Capri Sun package and it was of a guitar, now he thinks all tattoos are called guitars. I realize only parents find that kind of mistake cute but it's even cuter because he mispronounces it. He says contar instead of guitar. The second thing I find adorable and annoying at the same time is that he constantly asks, "where that come from mommy?" He was sitting beside Micah on the couch and asked Micah where his contar come from. Micah told him where he got it and he tried to wipe it off his arm. When it didn't come off he got a little upset and tried to scratch it off! It was priceless. I'm also happy to report that everyone in our family is finally better. Last Sunday we got plagued with the flu. Tucker was hit first and the hardest, but by Wednesday he was much better. Luke got the bug on Thursday and me on Friday! Ugh! Micah had to work all week so you can imagine how much fun it's been around here. Micah never got the bug, he got his flu shot this year, lucky dog. As of today all appetites are back to normal and I lost 6 pounds! Now if I can just avoid eating I won't gain it back!

Christmas Round II
Micah's mom, dad and sister arrived in Dover New years eve and the boys got to have Christmas...again. They really enjoyed seeing their grandparents and of course getting more toys!
Luke loved his over sized Lego's, so you can imagine his excitement to receive not one, but two boxes of Lincoln Logs!
Here's Tucker opening a four wheeler with a little help from papa Wilson.
Micah helped Luke use both boxes of Lincoln logs to build a log town. It was very cool but only lasted about ten minutes. Luke went thru it like Godzilla stomping and kicking until the whole town was destroyed!

Flag Football
Just another day at the Wilson house.
Micah's flagfootball team won first place! Yeah! Football and softball in the same year, way to go guys!
Here's Luke telling daddy good job!

Christmas
This is what the boys woke up to Christmas morning, it really looked like Santa got the boys a ton! After all the presents were out of their boxes it didn't seem like much at all. : ( Luke was so overwhelmed he couldn't figure out what to open first. Tucker went straight for the plate of half eaten cookies!
Luke loved his guitar and insisted on playing up a Christmas song...he needs lessons. Tuck was worn out after a morning of candy.
Here's Luke with his light bright. He also loved his Bumble Bee and Starscream transformers and his skateboard. Transformers seems to have replaced the movie Cars as his favorite, I never thught I'd see the day.
Luke also received a cowboy hat and a horse that he rides around the house as fast as the horse will take him! He tries to get Tucker to ride on the back but that horse is a little wild for Tuck.
This is how Tucker spent the majority of Christmas day. I can't figure out why we even bothered to buy Tuck toys, he would have been perfectly happy with his stocking full of candy. This picture was hillarious, he just walked into the kitchen with peeps. We have no idea how he got the package open or why he pulled out a whole row of peeps, but he was enjoying himself.

Santa's Cookies
Luke thoroughly enjoys helping me in the kitchen, so you can imagine his excitement when it came time to bake cookies for Santa. Luke cut out candy canes, snowmen, gingerbread men and Christmas trees.After cooking our beautifully cut out cookies we got to show off our creative side in decorating. Luke spread the sprinkles with care in hopes that st. Nick would enjoy.
Here's Luke putting some finishing touches on a few cookies.
Ornament Painting
This year we thought it would be fun to let Luke paint ornaments for everyone. While he had a great time doing it we realized he may have no future as a painter. He had a great time painting the ornaments and it's been fun watching the expressions on our family's faces to his masterpieces. We will definately do this again next year.
