Tanner's 12!

I can't believe he's 12...where has the time gone?!
He's been wanting a phone....

 Some new vans...

and ice cream for his birthday.  So that's what he got!
We love you T.  You have brought so much fun to our lives!!

Globetrotters Game

 We've been wanting to see the Globetrotter's for some time now.  What a BLAST!  These guys really know how to put on a show!  We had great seats too!  One row up from the floor!

 The boys had a great time getting autographs from all the players they could.

Family Photo Session

When my parents, brother and his family were here for Christmas we had some family photos taken by our friend Marty.

I love this one of Oma and Poppa with the kids.

My brother with his beautiful girls...Michelle and Lani.

Mom and Dad...married almost 47 years!

 I LOVE this one of us!

Friday the 13th

Some would say this is an unlucky day.  For Tanner, it was one of the best days of his life!   Not only was it his "month birthday" (he is 11yrs. 11mo. old today)  But he got to meet one incredible guy!

Titus Young of the Detroit Lions!

Titus even had a few inspirational words to say to Tanner that he will never forget.  And on the way home ....Tanner never even looked up once....he was too busy looking at Titus' autograph!

Christmas Concerts

Tonight we went to both boys Christmas Concerts.  It was a whirlwind of driving back and forth so that we were able to see some of each performance since they were both at the same time. Yikes!  Thankfully we have wonderful friends that were able to join us at both schools so that someone was there for each kid.

{We celebrated at Mona Lisa Fondue restaurant.}

I can't believe we've been married 19yrs. already!

  I love you more than ever!

Thanksgiving 2011

 We didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving this year, but we had fun making our own traditions.  Turkey, football and a movie (went to see Arthur Christmas) before dessert.

Halloween 2011

 Carving Pumpkins

Ready for dinner...
and after school snacks.

Dinner was the traditional chili with fixings, cornbread and hot dog mummys.  We even had Blood Orange Soda!

Chase dressed as a" teenage boy"!  Ha...how original!  He spent the evening eating "teenager type" foods and hanging out with other "teenagers" watching scary movies.

 Tanner dressed as a creepy Mad Hatter Mr. Hyde!

 He and his buddies, Devin and Cody, had fun scaring kids! (Not the little ones though...they were really good about that)

 Devin, Cody and Tanner

Happy Halloween!
