Gavin's Trip to the Zoo

Here are some pictures of our first trip to the Zoo. Gavin is starting to hit the "terrible twos", so there were a few fits and Allen was sick, so he couldn't come. So even though he needed carried the whole time and I couldn't get too many pictures, we have a wonderful day. He will only enjoy it more.

Father and Son "handy-man" weekend

Allen and Gavin had a very "handy" weekend. First they replaced our kitchen sink faucet because it leaked. Gavin is getting so big and opinionated!!Then we ordered a new bed which finally arrived (the first was damaged, then they never showed on the selected delivery day, so it ended up being really late). From talking to Chrissi though, I think this is the same bed that Nikki and Tyler have (from IKEA). I hope you guys liked yours, we seem pleased.

This picture is old, but I thought I'd share a picture from our mothers day celebration with Liz. We went out to a Tapas place for dinner downtown and then surprised her with tickets to the Michael Buble concern. It was a lot of fun and she was so happy. Look how old Karen and Marcy are getting!!

Thank God for the Outdoors

If Gavin could live outside, he definitely would. We have a really hard time keep in his little butt inside, which is a good thing I guess. Here are some more recent pictures and I'll post more to our shutterfly account (gavintucker.shutterfly.com)

Bubbles work when we're stuck inside though :)

Below are pictures from a wedding Allen was in, and yes the flip flops and black jacket were the requested attire for the groomsmen. I just thought these were cute.


Gavin's first taste of driving a car, and he loves it!!!

Spring is HERE

Clearly I've been a slacker with updating the blog, but an update is finally here. Gavin recovered quickly from the pneumonia at Easter time and has since been doing great and growing like a weed. He LOVES to be outside and insists on going out everyday even if just to walk around in the yard and dig up my plants.

This is where I found him and Pearl one day, sitting in the dishwasher! I have a feeling they're going to get in trouble together a lot.

He also was quite fascinated (and is still) with putting things on his head. At least this one is clear on 3 out of 4 sides.

And the best and most recent skill.....mastering the doggie door! Yes, Gavin can go in and out has he pleases with the dogs. At least it leads to a fenced in yard.

Easter 2008

Well....Thursday we found out that Gavin had pneumonia, but he has since been doing much better. Luckily we were still able to go to Easter at my sister's house. There were 8-9 kids all under the age of 7 running around the house. Gavin didn't know what to do with so many kids, but had a marvelous time. We played on their new swing set and had an Eater egg hunt. It was pretty chilly, so we didn't spend much time outside.

Play with Grandparents this weekend.

Gavin had an exciting day with grandparents this weekend. The morning was with Allen's parents (Mama/Papa). He had a marvelous time with a balloon and his cousin Jackson.


We then went to my parents (Grammie/Grampie) and he played with Toby, their dog. He though running around while Toby tried to get the tennis ball was a very exciting game.


I just liked how happy he looks just playing with his show. His eye color is gorgeous!! He's going to be a heart breaker.

Enjoying the nice weather

We were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather on Sunday and went to the park. Gavin wasn't a fan of the swing which is surprising for as much as he enjoys rough housing. He did, however, thoroughly enjoy going down the slide and throwing dirt.

When we got home a bath was very necessary and I couldn't resist a few pictures of bathtime including peek-a-boo with Daddy.
