diaper basket make over

I recently bought this cute little basket from Wal-Mart, to hold Charlie's diapers and wipes in and I decided it needed a little make over.

Before

After

It took a little time to get the wipe box to look right but in the end it turned out really nice.

leaky diapers

I have a bit of a dilemma, Charlie has recently learned to roll over and he loves to sleep on his stomach but every morning when I get him out of bed he is soaked! I have tried different diapers but nothing seems to work. Do you guys have any ideas? I am tired of changing his sheets every morning :(

Revamping the coffee table

A few months ago my wonderful sister in-law gave us a coffee table for our living room :) I decided to revamp it and add some color.

First we cleaned the table really well. (There were cracks around the table that things get stuck in All the time and it drives me crazy!)

BEFORE

Next we used a wood filler to fix the scratches, dents and fill in the cracks on the table and let that dry. Then we sanded it down, gave it a few coats of paint and......

VIOLA!!!

Our new coffee table

We are back!

I know that it has been a really long time since we last posted so there is a lot to catch up on, so here is the short version of what has been going on.

About 7 months ago we moved up to Washington and I love Washington!!! It is so nice here and our new ward is great. Gordon and I are teaching the 13 and 14 year old kids in Sunday school. It is challenging teaching, but I enjoy it.

About 6 months ago we had a baby.Charlie is doing really well, he is almost 6 months old and he is growing so fast! He is either smiling or crying, there never seems to be an in between. Charlie also loves to talk he is always gabbing, squealing, or screaming at his toys. Today he said his first word "dada"!!!

Blog-o-matic 3.0

I now introduce the newest version! Blog-o-matic 3.0

Blog-o-matic is just a feed generator. If my user (my gmail address gordon.michael.tucker) has access to read a blog (private or not) then you can now get a feed for updates. It only exposes the blog title, so no worries about what is and isn't in your blog.

To use it, just enter the following:

http://feeds.whoputthatthere.com/Feeds/BLOGGER_NAME_HERE

Some examples are:

http://feeds.whoputthatthere.com/Feeds/extremetuckers

http://feeds.whoputthatthere.com/Feeds/tuckers-space

If you think others would like this, I'll see if I can make a user that anyone can add (like blogomatic@avantewebdesign.com or something like that)

*notes

  The feed is updated at most every 60 minutes, so don't expect anything faster than that.

  The feed only shows the latest 5 entries in each blog.

  If the blog doesn't have a title, it may not have a link directly to the blog post, so put titles on all your blog posts or it may just link to your base blog address.

  If you want, you can set up feedburner with the url from above and give that out. That way you know how many people get your feed and such.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Father-In-Laws site

I've been trying to help out my father-in-law by improving his site. I've made some good improvements (Such as a "Related eBooks" section, a blog, and some improved interfaces), but I could use everyone's help.

If you could visit his eBook site and let me know if there is anything glaringly obvious that I could improve, or if you have an awesome idea to get more traffic to the site, I would really appreciate it.

I've been having lots of fun working on the site, as well as some other projets. Everything is going good at the Tucker house and Charlie is still doing what babies do (You know... eating, sleeping, pooping).

Just for some good measure, here is a picture of my "Bananas over mommy" baby.

Calling all pictures!

I went through all my old (digital) pictures and realized that I don't have very many pictures. I know there are more out there that were taken when we visit family (Like the last 3 Christmases) If anyone has pictures of me and/or Jessica, I would GREATLY appreciate getting a copy of them (I want all the pictures of us together especially).

If anyone has old pictures that aren't digital yet, let me know about em (so I can bug you to get them scanned so I can have a copy)

Thanks everyone!
