Birthday Party with Carson & Cade

Some Thanksgiving shots

The Tucker Family Thanksgiving that just kept on giving

This year was our Thanksgiving "on" and Christmas "off" or with all of our family sharing Thanksgiving together this year with the Tuckers. They will all go with their In Laws for Christmas (Thanks Weeks, Chandlers, Carpenters, and Renchers.)

So in accordance with Grandma Tucker's wishes we tried to make the most of it. We started out with converting the garage to a large Wii room, and of course a wonderful meal thanks Annette. But did we stop there? No way, we helped celebrate Carson & Cade's first Birthday Thursday evening. Wasn't that enough? Not yet, we then moved the party to Salt Lake, where we sandwiched in the Boise State Football game with the official turning on of the lights at Temple Square. Enough? almost, we then met at Maddox with many of our Tucker relatives thanks for everyone who came, and especially for Scott & Sheri for putting it all together. Finished right? No, we then all traveled back to Twin for a Family Photo. Needless to say we spent some wonderful family time together, good news, no major damage done. Thanks for everyone who helped so much. It was great. Enjoy some pics

Handling Halloween

This year we were able to make a quick trip to Boise and drop off some Halloween goodies to our families.  We got to see Tanner, Clayton, and Austin in their costumes, they were awesome.  We had a nice visit with Shane & Amy Jo, and unfortunately we missed Brady & Katie.  

Twin Falls Halloween

Last night we got to play with our little frog "Chase", thanks mom & dad from bringing him by.

We capped off the night by being able to clean the Twin Falls Temple on Halloween Night, that was a choice experience, we are always amazed as the many small blessings that come our way with a House of the Lord nearby.

Hemlock Golf Course

A beautiful little 9 hole course with it's own quirks.

Our Fall Trip to the East Coast

Our Fall trip back east was a great time, we were able to visit our family in North Carolina. Here are some candid shots during Breakfast at Clemmons Kitchen.

Sturbridge, Mass

We spent a day at an old settlement called Sturbridge, it was a re-creation of an original early 1800's settlement. It was interesting, and I'm glad I was born when I was.

More Leaves

The Berkshires

Every Fall we usually go on a little "golf trip" to prolong the golf season and enjoy Fall golf at Myrtle Beach. Last year we were in Orlando with the Astins and somehow our Fall golf for this year was "hijacked" to the Berkshires in Massachusetts. We were suppose to enjoy the beautiful changing of the leaves and some golf.
It actually turned out to be a really fun trip, I admit it was not as warm or beautiful as Myrtle Beach but the area is beautiful, the golf was fun, and a lot cheaper than down South.

Alaska Cruise

When you go on an Alaskan Cruise you have some great opportunities for Pictures and to practice your photo editing and publishing skills. We had a great time with Phil & Brooke, we hope that they are not too tired of us. The Cruise was amazing, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I will post some pics and you can check out our other blog at: http://mytuckerfamily.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

St. George Temple

Last week we had an alarm show in Las Vegas, we would rather stay in St. George than on the strip in Las Vegas. The alarm show was overwhelming as usual, so many things to see, and learn it is impossible to take it all in. It is good to see what is new and exciting in the world of Security.

The other thing that was overwhelming to us is that we both still love St. George. We always leave St. George wondering how we can work it out so that we can spend 6 months working and living in St. George, and 6 months living and working in Twin. Family beware, the St. George bug has bit again, hang on!!

Aloha, Aloha

In Hawaii aloha means hello it can also mean good bye, here we say Hello from Hawaii. But this was taken our last day in the sun, so we also say good bye to Hawaii.

Ko Olina 2008

So this year we stayed at the Ko Olina Vacation site on the west side of Oahu. It was a wonderful, a very comfortable, beautiful, and "warm" resort. The weather was wonderful, only had a little rain one day.

Annette's Annual Therapy Session

Each January after we have "survived the holidays", when the sun hides its face, and the temperature drops below 40 Annette informed me a few years ago that I can either take her to somewhere warm, or I can pay for the therapy sessions necessary to keep her sane.
