Love Them!!

A few weeks ago, before Grandma's birthday party, a sweet sister in our ward came over and did a photo shoot with Grandma, the boys, and all of them together. I have had these for a while but I am just now finding a few minutes to share them with you. There are quite a lot of them so I am putting only a few that I really like on here.

Photo Update

We have been so busy the last few weeks and the next few are not going to be any less busy so here is a quick photo update.
These first few pictures are little man smiling..or attempting to :)

We have had some crazy thunderstorms the last few weeks. It got very scary at times.

On Thursday the storm was so bad that we gathered the whole family in the center of the house. There was hail and wind and I was very scared. All of the sudden we heard the loudest sound..it was like freight train hitting a wall...when the storm was over, we looked outside and saw many of our neighbors outside looking at something...here it is..

It is now 5 days later and the tree is still in the middle of the road. Taking a detour is getting really old very quickly

Tanner started swimming lessons today. He had fun for a while and then got intimidated by all the other kids...we are working on that :)

For FHE tonight we played a very fun Book of Mormon Memory game that our friends gave us for Christmas. It is great to listen as Tanner explains who all the people are and what they did.

After the game we made dirt dessert. It was a big hit. Tanner wanted to eat all the gummy worms and leave everyone with just dirt...that's Tanner for ya ;)

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!

Another year has come and gone,

It's Father's Day again.

We love our daddy very much,

He is our greatest friend.

Our daddy likes to play with us

And takes us lots of places,

He always tells us funny stories

And makes up silly faces.

Daddy works while we're asleep

And spends his day in bed,

We make sure we are nice and loud

So he'll get up and play instead.

Daddy, we know you love us lots,

and we sure do love you back.

We couldn't have asked for a funner dad!

Love, Tanner, Monkey & Zach

Busy Little Bees!

My goodness, we have been so busy at our house. We had a surprise party for Grandma June on Friday night. It was so much fun. She was very surprised. My mom even flew in just for the occation and Grandma knew nothing about it.
As soon as I get all the pictures from our friend Rich, I will post them all.
To add to all the craziness, after some crazy lightening storms my computer hard drive fried and I lost everything. It took a few days but we are back up and running...on my new laptop. I really like this :)

Temple Trip w/ Primary

On Saturday Tanner and I had the opportunity to go to the Temple with our ward Primary.
It was a great experience for Tanner, even though he was a little on the grouchy side :(


Before we went in the Temple we all had a picnic lunch at the Temple

Tanner took this picture. He was very proud of himself

Some of the beautiful flowers on the grounds



The Primary kids and their parents..minus Tanner because he was throwing a fit off to the side :(

I asked Tanner if I could take a picture of his grumpy face..he was trying not to laugh :)

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!!

Natalie Stone actually took pictures!!

We had the best FHE tonight! We took the boys and grandma to downtown Greenville and played in the kids waterfall/fountain feature. It was so much fun. Grandma June even took her wheelchair through the falls :)
There are a ton of pictures, but you know what they say...a picture says a thousand words ;)

I love this picture. The building on the left is just the shell of the building and they use it for charity events. I really want my family pictures taken inside.






I don't think he was having any fun, do you? ;)








A trip to Dairy Queen rounded out the fun evening. I think Gavin really enjoyed it :)
