Gracie is getting a sister!

We are excited to have a new addition to our family in September (9/09/09). Janice has thought the baby was a boy this whole time. She was wrong! Hey Tuckers, do you want to trade? Just kidding. Also, does anyone have any name suggestions? We have not been thinking of girl names.

Easter and Our Stubborn Gracie

Gracie had a fun visit from the Easter Bunny. She also enjoyed going to Grandma and Grandpa Clayton's for dinner. Gracie is developing quite the personality. She insists on feeding herself which sometimes is quite messy as shown. Also, she is somewhat of a bully (She hasn't learned how to share yet.) We are ever wondering what our cute, curious Gracie is going to do next!

Devyn Turns Three!

Devyn had a fun Sponge Bob Birthday in March. Amber made a great Sponge Bob cake. Devyn was quite excited to get a four wheeler for his birthday.

A New Car Joins Our Family

Joe was on Spring break in March and was determined to get the new car he has been researching for over a year. He did it all while Janice was at work. Three banks, a couple of car lots and about ten phone calls to Janice later we had a 2009 Rav4 Toyota. We have not had a chance to take a picture of it yet but it looks a lot like the picture above except for it is a gold brown color. We have nicknamed it "Tank" because it has a zillion safety features and it is the biggest car Janice has ever drove.

Hooray! Eldon is Home

Eldon came home in February from a twelve month deployment(his second) to Kuwait. We got to go to the hanger and watch his plane fly in which was awesome. Seeing families reunited was even more awesome. We're glad to have Eldon home and are very proud of the service he does for our country.

Haircut Happenings

Gracie got her first haircut in January at Cookie Cutters where she got to sit in a pink car and watch Baby Einstein. Gracie kept pulling her pony tails out and couldn't see with the hair in her face so we had to get it cut. Since then Gracie has already had one trim.

Gracie Just Goes and Goes

This is Gracie in January. She started really crawling in November. Since then she stands up on everything, goes up and down stairs, gets into everything and insists on walking on her knees instead of her feet!

Catching up!

This was basically the rest of Christmas. We played a lot, slept a lot and ate a lot of good food. Gracie was totally spoiled and Janice's brother, Jacob was the star of Christmas. He got everyone a webcam so we could see each other opening our gifts on Christmas day. We suprised Dad early for his birthday and went to a Mexican restaurant, hence the sombrero.
