Some Videos

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Well we have been drying out after getting 5″ of rain in a little under 15hrs. Our property has been the land of lakes and I swore we needed a canoe on Thursday night to go out and feed the horses. Other than that things are going well down here in Florida with us settling into a routine after the holidays.  Heidi is doing great and getting bigger everyday, we have included new photos in the gallery and a few videos of her talking and playing with Nevada below. This should satisfy the grandparents for a little while :)

Derek will be starting to travel for work over the next few months for conferences, reviews and meetings so he will be busy. Also we have started to look for a house as we feel that this is the place that we need to be and we are really enjoying the area and the job. We are in a good position with where we are renting so we don’t have to be in any big hurry to buy. However, we have seen a pretty good prospect this week.

6 months Old!

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Hi everyone!

Just thought I would update on everyone on how Heidi is doing. She went to the Doctor this week and is doing really well. She is 12 lbs 2 oz and is 24 inches long. She has been doing really well rolling over and working on sitting up. It has been pretty cold here so we have been bundling up. All of the animals are doing well and are  growing some pretty thick coats that would do Colorado proud.  I took some new photos of Heidi and we hope you enjoy them.

5 months that means Cereal!

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Hi Everyone!

Just thought we would update you all as to what was going on with us.

First of all Derek went to Fort Collins to do his PhD Qualifier. He was gone for a week and got to see some friends and was able to get enough studying done to pass. This means that step one of 3 is complete for him to get his PhD. We were very excited and proud of him for getting this step done.

I did ok while he was gone the puppy was a little hyper but we managed to keep her busy enough.

We were able to start Heidi on solid food with some rice cereal. She seemed to like it and ate most of it. Though some of it did end up on her bib, the booster seat, her hands and tray. We got a video and some pics so we hope you enjoy.

Happy Halloween!

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Hi Everyone!

We hope you had a great halloween. We sure had fun. First a baby update. Heidi had her 4 month appointment and was able to get her next round of shots, no fun. But she is growing, 9 lbs 10 oz and 24 in. Still a petite little thing so mom has to eat more fat to try and fatten up the baby a little bit. But she looks super cute in the dress her Grandma Tucker bought for her.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The weather here has been nice and warm, around 80 and Derek said it definitely did not feel like fall, least of all Halloween. I guess he was just used to the winter parka being worn while trick or treating. We carved a couple of pumpkins and Derek insisted that we let Heidi play in the pumpkin goo, since he said he did not want another Traci on our hands.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We had fun at the Branch Trunk or Treat activity it was nice to see everyone and get together for a potluck. We dressed Heidi up as a pumpkin and Derek and I went as pumpkin farmers. She looked really cute and it was totally worth the time I spent making the costume.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We have the rest of the super cute Halloween pictures in the gallery so check them out. Other than that not much is going on just gearing up for some cooler weather which finally came, thankfully as it is now the 1st of November.

Hope you all are doing well and we will talk to you later.

Love Derek, Nichole and Heidi.

Brrrrr its cold in Florida!!

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Hi everyone!

I figured it is my turn to update the blog and tell you what is going on down here in Florida. First of all things went well while Derek was in San Antonio the baby behaved pretty well, she was just a little off her schedual but overall she did well. The dogs have been pretty good just lots of energy. The conference went well and Derek had a good time.

Our big news down here is that it finally started to cool off. It actually felt cold when the low at night was down to 42 degrees. The highs this weekend were in the 60′s which really makes us feel like it is fall, but was a total shock to everyone’s system since it has been so warm here. Heidi had to wear a coat for the first time and she looked so cute!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

She is doing so well. She is starting to giggle and we are trying to get it on camera, but so far she has been a little camera shy. I was able to get some really cute pictures of her in her cute outfits and bows so check them out in the gallery under More Heidi.

I am doing well just keeping busy with the baby and the horses and the dogs. I was also able to work with the local animal charity to get the feral cats spayed and neutered this week and they are doing really well. We just did not want another litter.

Other than that things are going well. Heidi gets her 4 month check up next week so I will update with all the numbers then. We hope you all are doing well!

Love

Derek, Nichole and Heidi.

Chores and Fun

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

Well it is Conference weekend I thought I would give a quick update on what is happening in the Tucker household. The puppy is doing well and her and Summit are starting to get a long and play. Nichole was able to capture them playing a few days ago on the video camera.

http://www.tetonedge.net/videos/Nevada.flv

Heidi is doing great and is growing and learning new things every day. She has been smiling and “baby talking” everyday. She is also starting to hold her head up more and looking around. She has been a real joy in our lives everyday.

http://www.tetonedge.net/videos/Happy Heidi.flv

Things in Florida have cooled down a lot and we have had mornings in the 50′s and days in the low 80′s so we have been able to get a lot of chores done around the house. Derek was able to this morning construct a sweet arena drag out of a few parts from Lowe’s and random stuff around the barn and it worked great. Derek will also be headed out on travel this month off and on for work presenting papers of his research and they will be posted after the papers have been presented.

Well that is about it, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Fall.

Love,

Derek, Nichole, and Heidi

Nevada

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Well I figured it was my turn to make a post and let everybody know about our new addition. Nichole and I adopted a puppy this week from a kill shelter. So everyone meet Nevada, she is a 4 month old blue heeler puppy. We have been looking for another dog for Summit to play with as she is getting a little neglected as our attention has been with Heidi. So I was looking and found Nevada and we went up to Chipley, FL to see her and Nichole was hooked. Summit has adjusted to her after defining the boundaries and they have been playing. We have added pictures of her to the gallery.

Heidi has been getting bigger everyday and is giving us big smiles all the time now. Everyday is something new and she is a great joy to our life. My sister made a few new bows for her and this a picture is for my sister and is our little girl pretty? I guess I am a little biased being the dad.

And here is a new video for the grandparents. Hope everyone is well

Summer in Florida

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I can’t believe how fast the summer is going as it is already August and the summer will be over and especially that Heidi is six weeks already. Time does really fly when you are having fun. The family has been keeping busy with the horses and the working around the house. We have added more pictures to the “Heidi” album in the gallery as well as a video below of her smiling. The grandparents will enjoy it I am sure. Nichole and I were also outside a few days ago cleaning the pool and found a butterfly that had just hatched from its cacoon. We were able to catch a picture of it below. Other than that we just have been working and doing the usual.

New Hair Cut

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

So I was finally able to go and get my hair cut this week. I had been planning to get it cut before Heidi was born but ended up not having the time since she came so early. I had grown it long enough to donate and since it has been so hot I decided to go and get it done. The cut is really different but I am pretty sure that I like it. It kind of reminds me of the hair cut that Katie Holmes got. I don’t know let me know what you think.

Heidi is doing well and seems to be gaining weight, she doesn’t seem to be growing taller just yet but does seem to be a little heavier. Summit also got a hair cut since she was really hot. Other than than things are going well here. More pictures are up in the Gallery of Heidi.

Talk to you all soon!

Derek, Nichole, and Heidi
