Nintendo Testers
Josh, Morgan and Zach are now Nintendo game testers. Well, they were for a few hours yesterday… Our neighbor, Yumi, works for Nintendo and they were looking for kids to test one of their new games. So she thought of our kids. All three ended up going over yesterday (Friday), right after school and each spent about 30-40 minutes playing a new Nintendo DS game (can’t say anything more about it than that…we’ve been sworn to secrecy!). The kids got to wait in one of the facility’s break rooms while one was doing the testing. The break room was outfitted with several game consoles (including Xbox…they have to evaluate their competition!) and the kids’ favorite was Rock band. They also got a bunch of snacks and were given a bag of goodies as a thank you. One of the things they got was a little square container, yellow, with question marks on the sides. Inside were little yellow coin shaped candies! Zach said, “I need Mario to open this box!”
Gymnastics and Volleyball season
Posted by Kevin in Gymnastics, Morgan, Sports, Zach on March 14, 2010
Morgan’s been in 4 meets now, starting better than she ended last year and increasing each time. Should have some video to show sometime soon, probably post it on Facebook.
Zach, meanwhile has started playing Volleyball with the 5th graders at St. Catherine’s. This is the first time they’ve played. They’ve won a game and they’re improving fast!
Literature day costumes

The school has the kids dress up for “Liturature Day” and the Harvest Party at the church that evening.? They have to be a character from a book….
Josh is a LEP officer from Artemis Fowl, Morgan is Rascal the Racoon, and Zach is Jigsaw Jones!
Children’s Choir presents Dr. Newheart’s Christmas Cure
Posted by Kevin Tucker in Events, Morgan, Zach on September 26, 2007
The Fairview Children’s Choir, directed by Janet Kockritz, will be presenting their show this night.? It’s always a great presentation and Zach and Morgan are heavily involved!
Sports, sports, & more sports
Ironic to think that I, shunning sports and even P.E. while growing up, should have such athletic kids!
This is a very busy fall with all the kids participating in numerous sports activites.? Josh & Zach are both strong players on their soccer teams, playing in all positions.? Morgan is still involved in gymnastics as a part of the League AAA team at Seattle Gymnastics and, numerous meets are coming up soon!? All three of them have decided to do cross country this year, Morgan & Josh running a mile and Zach the half mile.? Morgans has been especially determined with this as running is definately not her favorite sport, yet she has endured numerous training runs during the summer and has already finished well in her first cross country meet this last Sunday!
The family sport now is Tae Kwan Do, excluding Leigh due to her back.? All the kids & I tested for their yellow belts at the beginning of September and passed!?
Take a look at the kids sport pages for their achievements!
Another baseball weekend
This was the weekend of the RUG Little League Hit-a-thon and picture day.? Created a new picture? gallery for them.? Not only that, but Zach’s team also managed to have a game scheduled that day.? He and his team played well as always.? His friend Evan on his team got the first Grand Slam of the season.? Way to go Mariners!
Josh and Zach have been soliciting support for their hit-a-thon last week and have one more week to ask for additional sponsors and collect funds.? If you’re interested in help out their league to pay for new uniforms, equipment, and such, the boys would be glad to hear from you!? You can sponsor them for a flat fee or per foot for their longest hit.? Josh, at the minor league level, hit 100 feet.? Zach, at the coach pitch where they let the ball roll before counting the distance, managed 165 feet.
Morgan decided to spend her time with her friend Drea, even though her family was cleaning house.? She said she’d rather clean with her friend than stand around at a baseball field…?
Some friends had some tickets to the Mariners that night that they couldn’t use, so Leigh took Josh, Zach and Loren Nelson to the game.? Too bad the Mariners didn’t do so well.? Morgan and Kevin stayed over at the Gordons for dinner and had Pizza Hut pizza and watched some episodes of the Addams Family and the Monkeys.? Funny stuff.? If you ever want to find a movie or tv show you can’t find anywhere else, try the Scarecrow video store on Roosevelt and 50th.? They have everything!
This Sunday we enjoyed services at Fairview, then Leigh went to spend some time working on quilts for Project Linus at Pacific Fabrics up on Northgate Way.? Morgan spent some time with Loren & Dora at their house and Kevin & the boys went over to Maple Leaf Park and spent some quality time in the batting cage.? They even let me hit a little bit.
At 5, we headed back to Fairview for a nice time watching a video from Anderson about the music of the Church of God over the years.? It was really good.? One amazing thing they showed was a “choir” of 12 pianists!? They played double on 6 grand pianos and even had a director!? It was pretty amazing.
Back at home, I (Kevin) spent some time out in the yard until dark, tying up raspberry vines (transplants from Uncle Mas’s garden) and cleaning up the tiger lilly bed.? Need to figure out what’s eating the tiger lilies and see how to protect them…
Zach’s getting baptized!
Posted by Kevin Tucker in Events, Kids, Zach on April 15, 2007
A momentuous occasion for us as Zach makes a public declaration of his decision to accept Jesus Christ as his Savior.? He will be baptized at the Fairview Church during the morning service.
Zach’s baptism went very well. Pastor Dan was honored to be asked by Zach to perform the deed!? Here’s the audio and a few pictures.? We are very proud of him and his decision and we celebrate his choice!
Little League Hit-a-thon and Picture Day
Posted by Kevin Tucker in Events, Josh, Kids, Zach on April 11, 2007
Both boys will be participating in this all day event of a hit-a-thon and team picture day.? This is the new fund raiser for our little league and the boys may be contacting you to see if you might be willing to contribute a bit to their league.
Mariners vs. the Yankees
Posted by Kevin Tucker in Events, Kids, Zach on April 10, 2007
The last game of the season for Zach’s Mariners!? Ending the season with a 3rd matchup against the Yankees at Northgate Elementary field, NW corner.
After game comments:? Despite heavy (for Seattle) rain, both teams persevered and finished 4 soaking innings.? There were even home runs hit and great fielding accomplished!? No pictures were taken though… 
? It’s been a very fun season with the Mariners and Coach Todd has done an awesome job with the kids!? We’re both sad and glad that it’s over, but we are looking forward to the end of season party!
