Elizabeth is here!

So I haven't done too great at posting lately. However, I wanted all to know that Elizabeth Ann is finally here! She arrived October 17th. She is doing great and Hayden is doing a great job at being a helper for me and also as a big brother. He loves on her a lot! Once we get more pictures uploaded I will update with those and more stories about the big day! For now here are my 3 favorite people!!!

Exciting week for the Bucks!

This past week was a big week for Hayden as well as for the family. We are coming to the realization that our little man is growing up. Kind of sad but also excited to see what he is learning and able to do. Hayden started Pre School at the Mother's Day Out here in Gatlinburg. (where I also work) Here is a picture of his first day this week.


This next picture is just for fun and to see how much he has been growing the past year. This is from his first day at Mother's Day Out last year. Funny thing is Hayden can still wear those clothes.



The other big thing that happened this week is Hayden is now tall enough to ride his big boy bike. We took him to a park in Pigeon Forge that has a great walking path and flat. He can now pedal his bike all by himself; except for a small push start. He loved it and I'm excited that I can walk and he can ride his bike!!! Here is a link to a short video that Joey made of this new experience as well as a picture.

Baby Buck Reveal Party

So we have had one exciting week this week!!! Mom and dad came in this past Saturday and after they got here we were looking forward to our reveal day. When we had a sonogram about a month ago I had the nurse put in an envelope if the baby was a boy or a girl. The envelope stayed in our safe deposit box til this past Thursday. I then gave it to a friend who was going to make either a pink or blue cake. This reveal was this past Sunday June 12th. Here are a few pictures that captured the moment.







IT'S A GIRL!!! Elizabeth Ann Buck will be here in October!!
Dad passed on a sweet moment that he experience with Hayden the Monday following the reveal party. While at the playground at my parents condo a couple of girls came up to play and Hayden being his friendly self was talking to them. Dad didn't hear it all but he did here, "that's my little sister's name." So when Hayden came over to Dad, he asked Hayden if one of the girls names was Elizabeth and he said yes. Hayden is going to be a great big brother.
