Tanner and the Stairs

We knew the day was coming soon. I just didn't know when and well, here it is. Tanner has conquered the stairs. I didn't get the camera in time to take a pictures of him on the way up, but I did get a couple at the top, so that's a good thing...right?

Ladies watch out...

All I can say is I'm their mom so it's a bit of a bias opinion, but I think they are pretty dang handsome!
They all wanted suites so they could be like Dad. We bought them a little big, but usually kids grow so...anyway you can't tell with their coats on, the 2 inches of extra material bunched in their belts or the 3 inches of hem on the bottom. So the over all effect is a nice lookin' group of boys.
They don't sell suites little enough for Tanner but eventually it will come.
ok I'm done braging I will be more humble from now on....

I've found the answer

After a long search I have found the asnwer to Titus's question!







It's a 'Hill-Billy'

It's not what we had in mind when we said that's what Tanner looked like....but hey it's an answer.

Todd has a tuff job....

Look at the view from his office...man, what a job. The whole valley was over cast. He had to fly around for a while to find a place to go through the clouds and get back down. The pictures turned out pretty good, even though they were taken on his phone camera. Days like this make the hard work totally worth it. The mountain you can see is Mount Timpanogos. Pretty Amazing!

I have been thinking...

As I read my friend’s and Family’s blogs and hear stories of things that are happening in other people’s lives, it makes me more grateful than I can even begin to express for the things that I have. So I have decided to make a list of the things I am grateful for.

My wonderful Husband
My beautiful boys
Mine, and my families, health
My husbands job, and the fact that he comes home every night
My mom
My mother-in-law, My Father-in-law- ALL my in-laws
My Dad, even though he’s not here to read this
The smiles my boys give me every day and every night
My home, and the fact that it has air conditioning and a heater.
The Gospel, and the hope it gives me.
My friends, and their support
A free country, where there is a grocery store on every corner, and the right to an opinion that can be expressed
MY LIFE

I could go on and on…I wrote all these things down not to brag about what I have or anything else, but so that I can see, written down, the blessing that I have. I hope that I can be strong when others need me and grateful for the things I have even when times are hard.
I pray for all my friends and family who are having potentially crushing hard trials. May you and your families stay strong and be blessed.

I'm a Dork...

I know, I know...Me being a dork is nothing new, I just thought I had really out done myself this time. I went to the grocery store to get food (of course). I gathered all my things together and went in the store, did my shopping and came back out to the car. I looked all the pockets of the diaper bag for them and shook it, you know...to listen for the familiar key rattel noise....and then I realized...oh-look on the seat, right next to my driver license, inside the LOCKED car.

The people in the parking lot must have thought I was a total dork, becuase I took the time to take a picture. Good thing I only had one boy with me. The tiny one that couldn't get out of the cart, and it was a warm day AND Todd was home so it wasn't a big deal to come bail me out. So I guess it was good timing to be dork :-)

Halloween Fun

There's not much to say here other than we had a lot of fun on Halloween (and the day before with friends). After a quick stop at Grandma Christensen's house to see Aunt and Uncle's costumes, we headed up to Grandma Biesingers and had fun walking around her neighborhood. After that was done we enjoyed some donuts and juice with grandma. It was a fun night and we all fell into bed when we got home!
