Tanner and Denver heading out to Clear Creek

Tanner and Denver left for Clear Creek this morning. It's a week long camp sponsored by the school district for 5th graders. Tanner is less than thrilled about going. I told him he'd have fun once he got there. He and Denver always have fun!! So it's just Ty and I this week...No plans...AHHHHHH....A little calm after the whirlwind of the last couple of weeks..Now I can concentrate on getting this house sold or rented!

Wahlen Reunion 2008

The Wahlen Reunion was a lot of fun. Doing anything with the Wahlens is a good time!!!! We ate, went to the park, swam, visited...and ate some more!!! The top picture is a picture Tanner and Greg will always cherish with Grandpa Wahlen. What an awesome awesome man!!!
We are so lucky to be part of this family!!!!!!!!!!

Our Special Day

It was a great day!!!! Ty was blessed and I went to the temple for my first time!!! Both were very memorable experiences and I'm grateful that our family and friends were there to share it with us! All of the pictures of Ty and our little family were taken by other cameras so I'll add more later!

Let me just say to everyone that I appreciate their examples and unconditional love and support. Me going to the temple has been a long awaited day not only for me but for my family. We can't wait to be sealed as a family!

Summer So Far.

Tanner was really sick almost the whole time we were in CA.




It's been a fun/crazy/hectic/busy summer so far!! We were in Huntington Beach visiting Greg and the rest of the fam for a few weeks. We just got back last week and turned around and went to Bear Lake for the Hooper Family Reunion. Nicole and her kids are in town which is always fun!! I'm still working 30 hours which I think might send Me, Tanner & Ty over the edge! Hence, why I never update my blog...So here it is in a flash folks :)

Memories....

Tanner has moved on up on in the lunch line...

For some reason I can't make these pictures bigger...

Tanner signing the adoption papers.

Everyone outstide the courthouse afterwards.


So it's official. Tanner has been pushed back in the lunch line. I say that because when I told Tanner he was getting adopted his response was, "Now I'll have to move back in the lunch line." Isn't that funny? The way kids think is so simple.
This was an amazing day! We are so grateful for everyone who was able to come and take part in Tanners adoption ceremony! I'm sad my Dad couldn't be there because I know this meant a lot to him and it was a day he and my mom have been waiting for for a long time! My parents have done so much for Tanner over the years and still continue to now. I'm also sad my sisters couldn't be there :( It's hard having big events like this and not having them here!

I appreciate Judge Bazelle for being able to see the big picture and for allowing Greg to adopt Tanner. I appreciate Grady, our attorney, who spent all the time he did to get this done without charging us a single cent. I appreciate my mom and the brunch that she had afterwards for everyone to enjoy. I realize every night when I say my prayers how much people are constantly serving my little family. I don't know what I continue to do right to be soo blessed???
You know, it didn't take the adoption to make Tanner Greg's son but it's nice to have it official and on paper! I worried how the transition would be with Greg and Tanner after we were married. Tanner wasn't super excited to make our little duo a trio. But with Greg's kindness, sensitivity and goofiness it's worked!
We are a happy little family!

How Cute is He?????

Here's an updated picture of Ty. This is us going to Tanners baseball game yesterday. He's smiling now and it's so much fun! He's such a good little guy!
