GO. . . TANNER . . . GO!!!

Tanner is running track again this year. He is following in Ryan's BIG footsteps or I should say is running in them! He is working hard and may just beat some of Ryan's records. This is him running the 4 x 800.




Tanner is running the 1600 here. He was followed closely by the Williams Field guy but ended up sprinting out and beating him!


His biggest fan club! (Mom too but she is taking the picture!) Its so fun to listen to the boys cheer him on!


He has given his all! Way to go. . . Tanner!

Its been a GREAT day!

This is the way that Rachelle LOVES to unwind! After a stressful day, she often comes home and says, I wish that I could just hold Merek! Should I go get him!!! Its obvious that he kinda likes her too! She will make such a GREAT mommy someday!

1st T-ball game

Branden & Donivan had their first T-ball game. (4/5/10) It was the most fun that I have had in a long time! Big brother, Tanner went with me and we didn't stop laughing the entire game. The boys missed the first two practices because of the wedding last week. I kind of worried that perhaps they wouldn't know exactly what to do but Tanner assured me that they most definitely did! And they did!!!

We had to go to several different stores to find a small lefty t-ball mitt. Donivan is left handed just like his Dad and Kyle!


After we arrived, got our new "Blue Thunder" shirts, I placed their hats on their heads. The first thing they did was turn the hats around to wear them "just like Tanner"!


Mark missed the game because I forgot to schedule him off work early so when he looked at the pictures, he could only comment on "their perfect form"!!!

It didn't matter where the coach positioned Donivan, the minute the ball was hit, he was all over the field to get it first! Even if it meant tackling a team mate! He would pick it up and put both hands in the air and yell, "I got it Tanner"! Tanner had to teach him to throw the ball to first base! Finally the coach put him in the pitcher position and the ball was hit pretty hard off into right field. Donivan took off running and still was the first one to get the ball!

As I sat there on the field, once again, I couldn't believe that I was doing this all over again! However, I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world!!!

EASTER 2010

EASTER was very lame this year at our home. We just finished the wedding and mom was very tired and partied out! However a wonderful friend and neighbor came to the rescue and planned a neighborhood Easter egg hunt while the men were at the Priesthood session. Lots of eggs and grilled hotdogs, beans and fruit! Only a little boy could love that meal! Sunday was General Conference so we relaxed at home and ate leftovers from the wedding dinner! We saved the great meal that I had planned for next Sunday. We had all been together quite abit for the wedding so all the married kids went to the in-laws for dinner. Kyle & Chrystal were honeymooning in San Diego when a 7.2 earthquake hit and rocked their 28th floor hotel room! Michael & Tessa spent the day with us watching conference and we ended the evening with Braxton and Merek coming for a visit so the day was wonderful! (Oh yes - Kevin & Jenna came with them!!!!)









Kyle's bachelor party

Kyle's party was held at BJ's! A few of the guys (friends & family)! Not many pictures - thats what happens when you depend on the men to take the picts! Not even good shots of those they took!

New paint and gates for our home!

It took a wedding to finally complete our remodeling project that we started 6 years ago! The last step was new paint and we finally did it! Look at the old paint. . .






New Paint Job!!! If it wasn't the last house on the street, I would drive by everytime!





New gates that Kyle made! They are beautiful!
