Lydia

January 19, 2009
Lydia loves peek a boo. I just had to get a picture of her in the action.

I also had to get a picture of her laughing. That would be Shaely jumping in front of her making her laugh.

Grandma Tanner bought matching dresses for Shaely and Lydia. I took this picture right before going to church.

Tanner's 5th Birthday

January 1, 2009

We went to Jakob's parent's house for a New Year's get-together and to celebrate Tanner's birthday. We also celebrated his cousin Breanna's birthday. She turned 8 the day before (Dec. 31). I forgot candles and my mother-in-law was out so they got 1 big candle to blow out. I made a cake and mom made cupcakes and they all got gobbled up in no time. Tanner, for some reason, decided to eat a roll first.

Christmas Eve

December 24,2008

The kids got to open 1 present from under our tree on Christmas Eve night, which happened to be pajamas (same as every year). It's a tradition we started when Andrew was little.

Tanner's Bandaid

December 16,2008
OK, this is funny. I hope this isn't too embarrassing to post this. Tanner told me that he got a band aid himself for his leg. He had a few rug burns from sliding down his grandparents' stairs. I didn't think much of it until he was changing into his pjs that night. Then we thought it was pretty funny and had to take some pictures of him. The little band aid on the other leg is for the little owee and the big "band aid" is for the big owee.

Some More Pictures

Here are more pictures from Thanksgiving.

Some Thanksgiving Pictures

November 27, 2008

Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving day with the Tanners, at the New Plymouth church building. This year all 7 of my brothers were here for Thanksgiving, it's been a few years since that has happened. Plus, my cousin's family from Washington and a family from my brother's ward were there also. Lots of people, 50 total.

The Boys' Fishing Trip

November 15, 2008

Jakob, Andrew and Dallin went with Mark Sherwood (from our ward) fishing to a place by the Niagra Falls, about 2 hours away. There they met with Micah Butler (from our ward). They had a full day of fishing. I think they had a good time. They were pretty tired from the traveling.

Leaving at 6:00 a.m.
