Christmas Breakfast

Our ward held a Breakfast with Santa! The kids loved it. This year Ava didn't even scream at Santa!

Here are some of Tanner's good buds from our ward,neighborhood and preschool.........and his cute sister

Ava actually had a nice long conversation with Santa, and I LEARNED THEN that she wanted a PINK KITTY from him! Santa works hard!!

Maybe it was the sugar or the excitement of Christmas, but these faces were easy to get out of these kids!!! Tis the Season

Thanksgiving 09

We had a fun and busy celebrating Thanksgiving with Brandt's family! We have so so much to be grateful. Look at the size of that table! Half of it is kids.

This is Ava and her cousin Quint. All of the cousins play so well together now that they are older! Of course I didn't get a pic of them all together.

Such fun ages!

These are just some recent cute pictures of my kids. I just love this age for both of them. They are adorable. If kids were born at the age 2-3 I probably would have more kids. Anyway....I just love them and am so lucky to be there mom!

This is my favorite girl! She has so much sweet in her... and even more smart! I just love being around her!

Tanner's Thanksgiving @ Preschool

Tanner and his classmates. Boston Kellen Tanner and Briggs. .. Jake was traveling. They did a cute program and then a feast for the moms and siblings. Happy Thanksgiving!


This is Mrs. Terri. We just love her, she is amazing.

Comfy nap

I found my little Ava asleep like this while her and Tanner were watching a movie one afternoon. She has stopped taking her 1-2 hour naps in her room, but sometimes falls asleep for awhile in the car or on the carpet. I had to take a picture, then I woke her up and tried to cuddle her but she just cried and cried......I should have left her I guess.

Halloween 2009

It is rare to get everyone smiling at the same time for a picture, we lucked out here, but Daddy isn't in it, he is behind the camera.

Tanner was a Power Ranger and Ava was a fairy from the movie TinkerBell. The kids had a great time Trick or Treating and they really liked handing candy and toothbrushes out to the kids who came to our house.

Grandma Teresa Came

........And so did the SNOW!!!!

Our poor snowman fell over shortly after the above picture! Luckily it missed Tanner.


Pretty lame this is one of the only pics of my mom I took the whole time, I guess we were pretty busy...kids, shoveling snow, cookin, cleaning,shopping........the regular.
We love Grandma Teresa, she is amazing! Can't wait to see her again at Christmas!
