I almost Forgot!

This was by far the best picture! Thanks Alan for taking it!!

So Tanner's Baptism was a SUCCESS!

We just wanted to say ThAnK YoU! to everyone who made such an effort to come! It really did mean so much to us. This was a big day in our family. I still can't believe I'm old enough to have an 8 year old!! The scary thing is just how fast it seems to be moving along. Why is it so easy to picture him in middle school and high school already?? The very fact that I've been married for 9 and a half years and in that much time Tanner will be graduating is just beyond me! It all just needs to sllllloooooow down.


After the baptism we had a luncheon that was a hugh success as well. In the hectic morning I had no time to gather everything for it and put Ben in charge. The poor guy barely knew what the plan was in the first place and was some how able to get EVERYTHING that we needed to that church regardless. I was soooo impressed. We had a few batches of those crock pot classics (which if you haven't had them, they're the best... especially the chicken and dumplings) and my mom brought some rolls from a local restaurant... YUMMY!

Patrick (my bro) and Helen (Ben's sis) ended up staying with us for the rest of the next week until Thanksgiving.... awwww... but that will be part of my next story....

anyways...

CONGRATES Tanner on a very wise decision in life! We love you and are so proud of the young man you're becoming
