Tanner Tucker is catching on to this "gift" thing.

Clayton Tucker checking out his new clothes

The 2007 Cousins l-r Debbie & Austin, Cade & Amy Jo & Carson, Brooke & Chase



One of my favorite times of the year is Christmas, I love the music, the way most people's hearts are more open, and receptive to the spirit of the Lord. And of course I love getting to get together with our family and friends. This year Tanner and Clayton are more understanding of the season, and Austin, Chase, Carson, and Cade were able to enjoy their first Christmas. We are overwhelmed with the blessings poured down upon our family, and publicly give thanks, and acknowledge the Lord's hand in all that we have. We hope that all enjoyed the holidays as well as we gear up for a new year.

The November Cousins Meet


The cousins meet and I hear that Chase was throwing his weight around. L-R Carson, Cade, Chase.

Grandma & Grandpa one for each


In the past Grandma has always taken the more active role in holding and caring for the babies, now I have no excuse, there are too many little ones around. We are grateful.

Beaming Grandma


This such a neat picture to have twice the fun in having a new baby. This year has been a flurry with Austin on March 16, Chase on November 7th, and now Carson and Cade on the 27th of November. We need time to slow down a little so we can enjoy them more. Great work all of our kids.

Shane & Amy Jo are Parents!!


We are so excited to announce that Shane & Amy Jo have crossed that line and are now fully Invested parents. Not that all children are not a challenge to get and take care of, but I think that these two have paid a price for their little bundles of joy.
After Amy Jo spent about 9 weeks of her life in bed at the hospital, she then came back to the same hospital, and proceeded to give birth naturally to those little boys. Carson was born first at around 8:15pm on the 27th of November he weighed in at 4lbs 8oz, 16 inches long. About 5 minutes later Cade followed and weighed in at 4lbs 13 oz, and a whopping 171/2 inches long.
That is almost 10 pounds of baby Amy, Great work Amy Jo you are amazing.
You both are such great examples, and have such a great attitude, like all of our grandchildren Carson and Cade are very luck kids. They have the best parents.

Phil & Brooke are Parents:)



Congratulations to the new parents, mostly Brooke who delivered a healthy handsome baby boy this morning November 7, 2007 at 7:00 am in Twin Falls, Idaho. Great work everyone, special thanks to Dr. Astin who helped the miracle take place.

Our Trip To Florida & North Carolina


Annette and I had the opportunity to travel to Orlando Florida with our friends the Astins. We had a wonderful week in sunny Florida. We got in plenty of golf, Universal Studios, Disney, visited one of the most beautiful temples we have ever seen, and we got to watch the launch of the Space Shuttle.


We then flew up to Winston-Salem NC and visited all of our families there. Thanks for the great time, we had a wonderful visit.

Space Shuttle Discovery Launch


An amazing experience to watch!
