Grandma Tanner's Mission

Amazing!

Hey, I can't believe it...I'm actually getting better at blogging. Music! Can you hear it? I figured it out all by my lonesome, no help from hubby. Dang I'm good!

Mini-Vikes Soccer Cousins

Ethan (Vaughn's son), Benson (Todd's son), Emily (Valerie's daughter), Justin and Jaxson all play on the Mini-Vikes Middleton Soccer Team. It is fun to go watch them play...and when I say play, I mean play. Every now and then one of them will actually play soccer. Actually, Benson and Jaxson are pretty good. Jaxson usually scores during the games. Valerie is just happy that Emily now chases the ball instead of stand there and cry. It has been fun. Their favorite part is the snack after the game!

Grandpa Tanner and the boys!

Mike's dad and his wife just sold their home in Meridian and moved permantly to California. We miss having them around. Before the house sold, Grandpa would have to come up to take care of things so we got to see him every now and then. Lynda has been in California for quite a while. Now I guess we'll have to make a trip to go visit them in sunny California.

Grandma Tanner and the kids

Grandma likes to come and watch the kids play their basketball, soccer and softball games. This time she had come to watch Mallary play basketball. Mallary is on the 3rd grade Select team. She made 13 points at her last game!

Annual Christmas Pajamas!

Grandma Tanner makes the kids pajamas every year. She has been doing it for 15 years and the kids (and parents) LOVE it. She is so nice to pick out the great prints and make all twelve of her grandkids pajamas. Steve and Karla didn't come for Christmas so their three kids are missing from this picture. We had a great Christmas Eve with Mike's mom and his brother Gary and his family. We had yummy food, played Christmas music with chimes and had a little Christmas program. It was a lot of fun and for the first time ever, we did it at our house. Too fun!

Waltman Family Gift & Goodie Night

All of the grandkids draw names for gifts. It is quite an ordeal because their are over 50 grandkids. We all gathered at my parent's home and had a great party.

Christmas Lights

Mike did a GREAT job putting up Christmas lights. He went ALL out and we loved it...but not the power bill. We decided we are switching to LED lights from now on.
