Oma's visit!

They were playing a game called, "Would you rather..."

There was a lot of sillyness, laughter, and...makeup! 

(Blackmail photos...need I say more?!) 

 

Gunner and Oma had many rematches of "Uno".  I think Oma kept winning, because I kept seeing her victory dancing.  :)

Awww, so tender.

Emma was a soldier in "The Nutcracker" this year. She did a great job.  The performance was beautiful!

 

Gideon's baby blessing

He is such a sweet, good baby. 

We are so glad and thankful that John could make it to the blessing.  So many of our loved ones were missing and we know they were thinking of us and there in spirit.  What a cool day...little Evie, Nicki's baby, was blessed in Ohio the same day!  So cool!

Gideon was having so much fun with Grandpa.  Look at his bright smile!

Last day of Soccer and Awards 2012

He is so proud of his trophy!  And we are so proud of him!

Gage actually got in and played.  Maybe Grandpa being there was the good luck charm?  Who knows, we're just thrilled that we got to watch him since it was the last game.  He also got a trophy but I failed to get a picture with him holding it.  Bummer.

Halloween 2012 "A Family of Vampires"

After our ward's Trunk-or-Treat

I Vant to suck you blood! Blah! Blah, blah!

She's more gorgeous than scarey!

 

Now thats creepy!  OOH!  His eyes are the bomb!

This just makes me giggle.  hehehe :)

 

This is the only time we could get him to wear all of his costume.  Somehow we got him to think it was his idea.  3 yr olds! He sure is a cutie pa-toottie!

Trick-or-Treat night

Nana & Papa's visit

 

                                                    Waiting in line to go apple picking.

The hayride going to the orchards.

I'm not sure how many pounds we picked.  But I've canned apple sauce, apple butter, apple pie filling, and apple jelly.  (yes, I'm patting myself on the back)

We celebrated Dad's birthday.

You ARE seeing what you think you're seeing!

Beautiful!

Gunner's Soccer

 

 

Gunner is a pretty good little soccer player.  He's full of energy and has good control of the ball.  As you can see he likes playing goalie too. 

Gage and Coach Dad

 



Gideon Tanner

Okay, I could only upload ONE photo of Gideon!  The connection is acting wacky!  I'll try again tomorrow.  But here is our little man #3.  He was 7lbs. 4oz. 19in. long.  He is 9 days old in this picture.  (I took it today)

water days

I figured I should put pics up of my other two enjoying the water.  The pool has been a lot of fun to enjoy.

Gunner's new trick

It scares the daylights out of me everytime!  He does pretty well with  making sure to jump away from the side, but he has hit his head twice.  No bleeding or bumps.  But he decided to "take a break" from doing his trick for awhile.  :)  Still, I think this is a pretty cool shot!

Whow! She's huge!

36 weeks, I think.

                                                       
37 weeks.  You can kind of see my toes!   (only because I'm sticking them out!  hehehe)

Everyone is getting excited!  And Mom is getting swollen, and more fat, and impatient!  :)

Check this out!

This is Emma's first fancy dessert!  She did such a great job!  It was beautiful and tasty and she put so much love into it.  She couldn't wait to serve it to us after dinner.  My heart was so full watching her glow with pride!  My sweet little caterer!  I love it!

His first tooth!

 Oh my goodness, he was sooooo excited about getting his first loose tooth.  But it was driving him crazy at the same time. He didn't like the wiggly feeling of it.  Our experience with Emma has shown that it can take months to lose a tooth.  So we explained that to him and encouraged him to be patient.  Which is VERY hard for him.  Lo and behold, three days after discovering the loose tooth, he loses it!  It was the neatest thing to watch him talk about it.  His eyes get big and round and he just lights up.  Of course the tooth fairy came that night and left a $1.  Which he snuck to school to show his teacher and friends.  (what am I going to do with him??)  :)
