Well we have just got done with a very busy week as Heidi just turned 1 year old. We can’t believe how time has flown bye and that she is already a year. She has truly been the greatest bundles of joy in our lives. It is amazing how much your love can grow when you add a child to the family. We were blessed to have Nichole’s Uncle Frank here for the week and they were able to visit the beach and have fun in the sand. Nichole’s parents then came for Heidi’s birthday and the weekend and we were able to throw her a party and open presents. Heidi wasn’t so sure about either, but her eating the frosting off of the cupcake proves that she has Tucker genes as Derek’s sister does the same exact thing. We have a few photos up in the gallery and I have posted a couple below as well as here eating her first cupcake so enjoy.

Heidi is getting bigger everyday and is almost walking, she tries to go from table to table and then gives up and crawls and it is faster and man is she fast. Every time we turn around she has made it to another part of the house in nearly seconds. She will be going in for her 1 year check up next week and we will post her growth stats. Nichole and Heidi have been enjoying a swim group with a few Mom’s from church at their backyard pool and Heidi has really grown to like the water. She is keeping us busy all the time.
On a sad note this weekend we lost one of our dogs, Nevada, which was the blue heeler we adopted 8 months ago. She got extremely sick on a trail ride we took and passed away while I was trying to get her home. She will be missed and was a great friend even though we had her for a short time. I thought she would be Heidi’s friend for a long time, but it seems as though another dog might have to fill that place.
Derek, Nichole, and Heidi
