Chris had so much fun bowling with kaden for the first time. They don't look anything a like, do they? :)

STANDING FOR SOMETHING

3 1/2 hrs later, we were able to see the Beautiful President Hinkley. It was really nice to be able to spend that time to reflect on his life and all that he has done for all of us. He is such a amazing man! We were able to see the celebration of his birthday while we waited inside. It was really nice also for Chris and I to have that time to ourselves! When we walked into the room where his body was it was such a peaceful feeling and worth every minute we waited. He looked so happy. Death can be such a beautiful thing. We were only able to see him for maybe a second, but it was just enough time to see his beautiful body and thank him. I put on the title Standing for Something, because we were defiantly standing for something and that was a memory that will last us a life time. Thank you Chris for going with me and sharing this memory with me. I will be forever grateful you did this with me and that we were able to see the wonderful Prophet and spend that time together. I enjoyed every minute with you and feeling the love our Heavenly Father has for each of us. A continuing confirmation that this church is True and that these Prophets are true servants of Heavenly Father. I just feel that we are so lucky to be a part of this, we are given so much. It is just a happy feeling to know we are loved and watched over, One thing I try to always remember is to make sure that I just live in this world trying to do whats right and not BECOME of this world.

BE HUMBLE

Someone asked me once If I could meet anyone in this world who would it be? I said"Gordon B. Hinckley". He really is the one person I wanted to meet in this life time to thank him for bringing me back into the church, as I served my mission our beloved Prophet loved us all Missionaries so much and his words of Wisdom and love gave me power within my self to serve our Heavenly Father Faithfully. I loved Gordon B. Hinckley so much and am filled with joy that he is reuniting with his wonderful wife. He did amazing work here on this earth we all know how proud Heavenly Father is of him. Chris said the day he passed away" what a welcoming he was about to receive". There are so many things I could say about this amazing faithful loving Prophet. It humbles me to have known how lucky my little family and I have been to have lived on this earth the time Gordon B Hinckley lead this TRUE church. We love you! and will miss you dearly.

MIDNIGHT & STILL AWAKE

A while back Chris was given these energy drinks for him to try, they are in a plastic tube just full of sugar. After our Vegas trip he put them in the junk drawer, they had been in there in for awhile and I completely forgot about them. Until a couple of days ago Kade found one in the drawer and wanted a drink, I said no hunny that is not for little boys"but I want some" well kade "no" it is bed time, I am going to get Connor and I will be right back, before I knew it there he was saying " I LIKE IT MOMMY, I LIKE IT" handing me the drink, I looked at him and said Kade, please tell me you didn't drink half of this and if you did how in world did you get it open?

He just kept saying yummy I like it mommy" well needless to say here it was 3 hrs later and he was still running back and forth to our room to his" saying the funniest things like his Elmo had to go potty and he would come in to our bedroom knowing we were in bed and turn on our bathroom light and pretend ELMO was going potty! Chris and I could not stop laughing he was just talking to himself and going back and forth we did not know what to do! I just kept asking Chris if Kaden was going to be alright knowing that was not good for him at all... I felt so bad that I had left that drink in there, I honestly have no idea how he could of opened it himself. He always seem to be out smarting me! I should have thrown it away along time ago I don't like those things anyways I think we just forgot we put it in there. Needless to say it was an unforgettable night.

VASELINE

Unfortunantly I don't have a picture, but last Friday, Chris and I attempted to watch a movie, We thought Kade was asleep, well that was our first mistake thinking he was asleep, chris went to check on him and pretty soon I hear "heather you better come see this" I had so many things going through my mind of what he could of done not prepared for what I was about to see. There kade was in his bathroom with a large container of VASELINE smeared everywhere. He looked at me and said " Mommy look what I made" I was speechless! He had it all over the mirror in his drinking cup, he had it in both hands just smearing it all over his face.
Have you ever tried cleaning up Vaseline? Let me tell you that is not the easiest thing to clean. After what felt like using a whole roll of toilet paper and all the wipes and 45 minutes later the mess was cleaned up and chris and I were like well I guess you can forget the movie and we just went to bed just looking at each other thinking "the joys of parenthood" Kaden still thinks he did nothing wrong! oh my little boy you think you are so funny!!

TAGGED

So I was wondering how long I could go with out being tagged. But my dear friend Kelly just wanted to add me on all the fun. No really I am excited to do it so here it goes.....


What is his name? Christopher Tanner

How long have you been together? 6 years this past Nov(and Chris surprised me and flew us to Vegas with no kids(loved that hee hee) and we had sooooo much fun, thank you Chris for a great surprise)

How long did you date? Those of you who know the story know that we really didn't date, seriously I had my wedding dress before our first real date, what can I say it was love at first sight okay maybe 3rd hee hee! It just all fell into place.... So we actually dated/get ready for a wedding about 4 months....

Who eats more? Are you kidding me! Chris by far that boy can eat and eat and just gain muscle, but since I started my program with Total Health and Fitness I eat about 6-7 times a day so maybe me right now who knows right!!!! All I know is when we go somewhere for dinner people wonder if I starve my husband because he can just eat and eat !

Who said I love you first? Chris (I was so shocked I said thank you)who says thank you right.... I did however let him know I loved him too.

Who is taller? He is

Who is smarter? I wish I could say me, but of course it is Chris for someone who really doesn't like school sure passed with flying colors! He loves to learn, but hates school, now me I love to learn too but can't wait to go back to school this summer, I told chris even if I am 90 years old I will get my degree, in what, I am not quite sure, but I will do it..... go me right hee hee

Who does the laundry? I do, I really enjoy cleaning it is the one thing I feel I am really good at. Since connor was born I just can't seem to keep up with the laundry(please tell me I am not alone in this)but I am trying and seriously if I don't do it, it won't get done.....

Who does the dishes? I do, but on the weekends chris is really good to help.....

Who sleeps on the right? I do(I am still afraid of being closet to the door I know how silly is that, but if something were to happen it would get me first right hee hee (it is just an old fear I can't seem to get rid of)

Who pays the bills? ANY TAKERS!!! chris does our bills and gets mad me for not doing the bills at home, because then he has to not only do our bills but our business bills too, I tell him that is what he gets for being the smart one.

Who mows the lawn? Believe it or not I have never mowed a lawn in my life, and right now neither because we live in a place where it is done for us, that is what we pay the HOA FEE for hee hee, but can't wait to have our own lawn soon..... (so chris can do the mowing hee hee jk)

Who cooks dinner? I do

Who drives when you are together? Chris. For some reason he thinks I am not a good driver....

Who is more stubborn? Of course me, I don't have kelly's excuse, I think my mission made me stubborn.... I don't know I use to never be stubborn then I got married and became really stubborn.

Who kissed who first? Chris kissed me first

Who asked out who first? he did

Who proposed? Chris (and when he did he kneeled down and said "I promise to love you forever, will you marry me? ) how sweet is that!

Who wears the pants? So Chris thought I was full of it saying I wear the pants, looks like we both think we wear the pants.... (but I know I really do)ha ha ha

so now I tag, anna, heidi, bryn and jamie

off to school

3 GOING INTO HIGHSCHOOL

Kaden put his back pack on and said "mommy I'm going to highschool, see ya" It was so funny I said "highschool huh! yep so I need my books and pencils. Well kaden I said lets go to school so your first assignment is to teach connor how to play ball, which he did, and your second assignment is to find a round shape tunnel and crawl through it. Then he sat in connor's room (which was the classroom for him) and he showed me all the shapes and learned how to recognize the #1 and 2... He loves school for some reason he has this perfect image about school in that little brain of his(lets hope it stays that way) I may be ready for him to go to preschool, but not highschool....
Don't bug me he says"I'm at school learning"
playing ball with connor
and crawling through the round tunel!
is it just me or does the second baby get bigger faster then the first?
