Happy Birthday Aubry!

Happy Birthday! Oh to the days before the departure of so many friends! We miss you guys and hope that you have a terrific birthday! I don't know how Jeff will top the car last year! Best of luck with that! But it should pay off for you either way, well, unless he just plain forgets!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Tanner's first Pinewood Derby...

Our ward is a student ward, thus we have no scouts. But to avoid missing out on such fun, we do a free for all Pinewood Derby every year!
These two actually get along, they act like an old married couple sometimes. Brooke liked Tanner's car so much she would race with him to the end to pick it up and bring it back to the top. In this picture, I told them to smile but he wanted to hold his car and she politely wasn't going to let that happen. They are too funny!
We enlisted the help of my dad to build Tanner's car, and it was a good thing we did because he took 2nd place!!! I am not sure if we have destroyed some right-of-passage type thing with scouting, but he loved it and has an awesome car! My dad even bought him red wheels because he loves red. He wasn't sure what we were up to when we showed him the block of wood, but once we got to the race track, he figured it out! So thanks to Pop for helping out with this and building the kid a SWEET race car!

This and That

This was just cute when they started doing it, so I was glad when they did it again for me to take a quick video!

Tanner has been learning a lot at preschool! He is getting closer to getting them all in there! I mean really who needs E-P? They really are just superfluous anyway! My favorite is that you know HIS ABC's! He actually knows it better than this, but a camera comes out and he gets goofy!

Stay tuned... more to come I promise!

My Baby Girl

Happy Birthday Little Miss Cup-Kate... She turned one! Okay it was like a week and a half ago, but the pictures are actually from her party! I am not late with taking those, just posting them! Anyway, we went to Craigos with both of our families and of course ate WAY too much (but I have no regets, I love Craigos). I just got her a little cake because who needs extra cake to eat when you have dessert pizza? But she loved the frosting, mostly the pink flower and we had a great time!
Oh, I have something on my face? How embarrassing! Where? Right here?
This is Tanner's present to his baby sister... he plays with it more than she does.
So a few updates on this little sweetie... she began walking a few weeks ago. She got her first two teeth for New Years (I thought it would have been funny if they had come in for Christmas). She still doesn't have very much hair, but it is fairly blonde. She loves her daddy and stands on the bench at church and says "Da... Da...Da" until he is out of his meetings and comes into sacrament. She is not shy and when she is, it is all an act. She thinks Tanner is hillarious, and the only person funnier is herself, or maybe Pop. She loves to eat. And she prefers her thumb to whole milk any day of the week. So there is a bit about my blonde hair, blue eyed baby.
And this little video is from Grandma's birthday a few days later. Kate learned a new trick with her straw.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!! Until next year...

Tanner Snowboarding and such...

This post is about the Tan-man... again!!!
The next one will be about Kate since she is turning 1 this week! Wow, where did that time go?
Anyway, quick thanks to my mom and dad for replacing the camera that they bought us last year. In order to attempt (key word) to prevent any misfortune coming to this new little beauty, we bought Tanner his own little camera for Christmas and bought the extended replacement warranty for ours. Hopefully this works because they said that they won't buy us anymore cameras... (my fingers are crossed)
moving on,

We took Tanner snowboarding a few weeks ago and he loved it, but as you can tell from the video, he had no interest in turning, stopping, slowing down, or dad's help! All I can say is bless his dear preschool teacher because she is so great with him! This was also later in the day and he was getting tired and grumpy! But cousin Morgan came with us and she tried her lot at skiing and did great!

I had brought a bag full of treats for those two and they had eaten pretty much everything by the time we were done! But here is a shot of Tanner and his Pringles. Nana helped him make a duck bill, oh such a classic.


Doesn't he look cute? I love it, he looks like he knows what's up!!!

Well, I should mention, in case you were wondering, we had a lovely Christmas and Kate got her first two teeth for New Years. So until I get Kate's post up, have a good one!

Merry Christmas!!!

Just posting to say Merry Christmas and we are still alive! Here is a picture of Tanner and cousin Morgan on their first Christmas! Tomorrow is Kate's and I am sorry to say that I think Santa is being a little more generous to Tanner than my baby girl, even though according to the rules Kate should be getting more! Oh well, at least she won't know the difference! We are excited to meet our new cousin Violet this weekend...good luck with the flight and both kids Ali! So as a card that I found says..."Be a rebel, have a Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!"
