Half a Century

Today is my Grandparent's 50th Anniversary!

Depending on which one you ask, they were high school sweethearts. :) My grandpa joined the church after my grandma left for Ricks College.
They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple a year after his baptism on February 7, 1961.

In fifty years their posterity includes
8 kids
29 grandkids (#30 is on the way!)
10 great-grandkids

I am so grateful for their examples of love, faith, and dedication.

Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa!

We love you!

Tanner's First Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's House - January 12, 2011
On a side note, I have other pictures to upload, yet once again blogger is not working for me. FAIL.

Tanner's First Snow

The week after Christmas we got our first real snow storm. Time for Tanner to experience the beautiful white stuff. When we walked outside he was quite enchanted. After sitting down he was a little more hesitant. Overall, I think he enjoyed it.
Lucky for him, we have had a lot this winter (but still not comparable to last winter). Another storm is predicted for this week.

Seven and Eight Months

I am having major issues getting pictures to upload to blogger...so until I can do the massive December and January post I am planning, you will have to be held over with these.

Tanner turned 7 months on Christmas Day! To celebrate he started scooting around - I think the real motivation was the Christmas tree and its bright lights. He loved the wrapping paper.

His monthly photo shoots are getting harder the more mobile he gets, this can be witnessed in the 8 month shoot.
Attacking the paper...
Refusing to be distracted with Steph's old cell phone and still attacking the paper....
Finally looking at the camera. Love the big blue eyes (like his dad)!

It is so hard to believe Tanner is 8 months old. My baby is getting too big! He loves solid foods. He army crawled and scooted for about a month, however he now does real crawling about 85% of the time. As of this week, pulling himself up on just about everything. I thought my house was fairly kid-proof, until my child became mobile. I am definitely learning I can't leave things in his reach - and his reach is much higher and farther than I initially imagined. On Friday his 5th tooth popped through the gums and number 6 is on the way. He loves to laugh and play with any technological thing mom and dad have. His smile is contagious and he is quite the flirt when we go to the store. We love having him around.
