Happy Birthday Tanner Boy !

On September 11th Tanner turned the big 1! Tanner is one special little boy, and we are grateful to have him in our family. He is a little charmer with his cute cheesy grins and a little sweet heart with his nice cuddles. Tanner started taking his first steps right about 11 months and by his birthday was walking pretty well! He loves being around lots of people and enjoys socializing and making people feel good. We had lots of fun celebrating our favorite little boy.

 We celebrated Tanner, Scott, and Rachel's Birthday and our Thursday get together 

Tanner started stealing Scott's cupcake, it was pretty hilarious!

 Tanner opening presents at his party that weekend.

 That  is a T- Rex on his cake

 Tanner didn't disappoint when it came to eat his cake, it was very entertaining. 

There was face stuffing and cake punching, it was great.

Please click here and watch the video of Tanner eating his cake. You won't be disappointed :)

Thomas Family Reunion 2014

The Thomas Family Reunion is always something we look forward to and we had a great time this year. We were only able to go up for one day but we enjoyed getting away. Thanks for all the pictures everybody.

 I love how Makenna is looking at Audrey here

 I love this picture of Tanner and Grandma

 Makenna still talks about how she went to the mountains and got candy.

Utah Trip

As I started putting this post together from our trip to Utah in August my heart just starting aching a little bit. It just made me miss the people that I love that live too far away. At least I took a TON of pictures to remember the great time we had.

The First day we went to the "This is the place park" ....which is not the same thing as Ensign Peak monument. It is a little pioneer village that has been set up and you can check out all the pioneer things to do. Like a blacksmith and leather shop. It also included a printing press and school house. It hadn't been pouring rain most of the time, I think it would have been even more fun!

School House

Tanner and one of his beloved Grandmas

The Kids and I stayed with my good friend Kailey for a couple of nights. It was really nice to be able to hang out just like old times. This is Kailey, Lucas and Makenna

We went to this wicked sweet Splash park. They have this river with water flowing. 

Makenna loved it!

Oh Cute kids

We realized we didn't have pictures of just us.

 Then it was back to Spencer and Emily's House

Spencer spent lots of time getting acquainted with the kids 

These just make me smile

Getting to know Lucy the dog. Makenna was terrified. Tanner was a lot more brave.

We went to the Ogden Temple open house while we were there

Grandkids with Grandpa and Grandma

We went to the BEAN museum at BYU one evening, it had real stuff animal. It had every kind of animal you could think of. It was really cool and would definitely recommend it. 

 Having  Fun with cousins. Makenna and Paige

 Matt

Spencer's youngest, Paige was Baptized while we were there. We enjoyed being able to go and hear the talked from Matt and Scott and Music by Rhett. These pictures are from the lunch afterward and Spencer and Emily's house. 

 Spencer and Emily' Neighbor hood is beautiful and if you take a little walk it takes you to this gorgeous path. Hailey and Whitney taking a walk with a one morning.

Getting ready with the girls :)

 Just a couple of pictures I took in their back yard.

 

My cousin Jennifer and her family are living in Utah for a few months and we were able to get together with them. Here is Makenna and Owen they are just a few months apart and had fun together.

 Spencer winning more Uncle points with Makenna on the Tramp.

 Makenna and Tanner did really really well on the probably close to 13 hour drive. 

 

 I'm so grateful that my parents let us tag along with them. We just love them!
