The Tanner Family

Thanksgiving 2011

2011-11-30T09:42:00.001-08:00

We had family at our house this year for Thanksgiving. Great people, great football and great food which = great day! We couldn't eat in the dining room there were to many people so we did it in our living room. We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Joel's 1st Soccer Practice

Happy 4th Birthday Joel

2011-09-17T14:06:00.000-07:00

Joel had his 4th birthday, and I can tell you he a had a great day. He got to go to the fire station and meet a fireman and sit in all the fire truck that they had. I will tell you he was in heaven. Then later that night he had his birthday party at the park. You can tell by the joy on his face what he thinks about birthday's. I can't believe my boy is 4!!!!!!!!!!

Pic Update

2011-09-06T23:05:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of Paul, the kids, his Dad and his grandfather. The other picture are from the fair we went to in July and a few random ones.

Finally a post!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-09-01T12:33:00.000-07:00

Man I don't ever post anything I promise to get back in the habit. A lot has been going on here. We have been working on our yard and Joel has been helping me take care of our garden. It's kind of funny now that Drew is such a mover he wants to do everything that Joel does and it has become a game for Drew, you know to irritate his brother. Drew now picks on Joel as much as Joel picks on Drew. It's pretty funny to watch. Joel is turning 4 years old next week holy heck where has the time gone. He is big into firetrucks right now so for part of his birthday we are going to the fire station to meet the fire fighters and sit in the fire truck. I could tell you a ton of stuff but I don't think everyone wants to read that much so I will leave it at that for now and just say we are great. Hope to hear from you all. And keep checking back I will start posting again.

Finally Pictures

2011-05-30T22:55:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not updating very much, I didn't realize that owning a home could take up so much time. And these boys want all of my attention. We are all doing great. Paul's work is starting to pick up a little as of tomorrow he will have done 4 home inspections. He is also working part time for the post office which has been good for us. I have been playing in a basketball league and a city volleyball league. We lost by 9pts in the championship for basketball, and for volleyball we won it all. Drew and Joel are cute as can be. Joel is getting to that age where he is not very obedient but he is still a great kid. Drew is just a trouble maker and a climber he has become our little monkey. You can tell by that picture above.

Drew

2011-04-19T07:50:00.000-07:00

The posting is slow so this is all I have for now. Drew is getting so big can you tell. He is now walking full time. He took his first steps a day after his first birthday, I will put a video up for you to see. He is babbling like crazy so he might start saying some real words soon. His first word was done (which is so stinkin cute). The boys are both getting so big and they are learning how to play together. Joel is learning so much. He is learning how to count and say his Abc's as well as write letters.

Drew's first buzzer hair cut and he actually did pretty good.

New pics

2011-03-12T15:08:00.000-08:00

Drew refusing to walk (not the I care all that much) but yet he does this and he will walk like this. Funny kid!

Hearing Dad's voice. As you can see he is trying to find him.

It's about time

2011-02-07T15:04:00.000-08:00

Sorry I know that I haven't posted in forever but I have good reasons I promise. These boys sure have been keeping me busy. Let me give you a quick update. Paul has been working quite a bit lately doing property preservation stuff (getting homes ready to sell). Joel is talking about anything and everything and will tell you all sorts of stories. Joel has hit the stage where he is getting sick of Drew getting in his space (so we are constantly having to tell him to stop hitting or kicking his brother). He is learning things so quickly. My favorite thing he does now is sing. Now my crew from Rexburg knows how much Joel loves to dance well picture him singing and dancing it is so dang cute. And well Drew he is turning into a handsome little man. He is standing and pulling himself up now. All he ever wants is Mama (yes I have a big mama's boy). Drew has learned to sign a few thing (more, eat, and please), oh did I mention the kid claps. He now has six teeth and is learning how to use them. As for me I have found a new love Volleyball. I am playing 4 to 5 times a week and have been playing on a city league.
Life is great here in Oregon, and we hope all is well with all of you. Here are some updated pictures enjoy.

Update

2010-12-04T13:46:00.000-08:00

Kid update! Drew is getting huge as you can see by the pictures he is now 8 and 1/2 months and is now weighting in at 20lbs 5 oz and 29inches long yeah I know big kid. He is army crawling all over the place and getting into everything. And I must tell you he is a mama's boy attached to me at the hip. Joel is doing great talking up a storm and he sings to us all the time. Our boys are amazing.

The top pictures are from a hockey game we went to. If you can't tell the resemblance that is Paul's younger brother next to him.

A couple pics

2010-11-20T13:13:00.000-08:00

Well Drew is growing so quick. He is now 8 months old, I know crazy how fast he is growing. He is all over the place (just army crawling, he is still trying to figure out how to crawl on his hands and knees). The kid loves banana's and ritz crackers. Still a thumb sucker but that's okay with me for now. As you can see in the second picture Drew is starting to bug Joel now which if you ask me is funny sometimes. All and all the boys are doing great and so are we. We are still working on the house here and there but there is not much left to do inside, I will post more pictures later.

Halloween 2010

2010-11-06T14:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry it takes so long to get pics up here. This website has become so slow. I can get them on facebook just fine, its just this site I have trouble with. Here they are though I had time to sit down and let them load. Aren't the boys super cute, my little Mario and Luigi!

I think its cute that they both grabbed their hats.

Finally

2010-10-27T17:47:00.000-07:00

So I have been trying to get new pictures up forever but they just wouldn't load well today I finally had success. Here they are. We are all doing well moved into our new home still working on stuff though. Paul has started his business, and has found some jobs but has not started them yet but hopefully will be starting soon on the bigger ones. His Aunt has hired him to insulate her place so there will be some money coming in. I will keep you all update but for now here are some pics. Joel's pumpkin which he was so excited about. The others are from a high school football game we went to with his brother Jess and his girl Dee. And the last one is of Drew who is now trying to figure out how to crawl.

Here they are some new pics

2010-09-23T16:38:00.000-07:00

DREW

2010-09-04T16:38:00.000-07:00

Drew has some new things happening in his life.

Check him out he's started to sit on his own (still a little tipsy but doin good).

He sleeps just about any where.

Drew just love Joel and as you can see the feelings are mutual.
And check it out he is eat big boy food now.

Best Video Ever

2010-08-27T11:39:00.000-07:00

So we got the best video of the boys. These two just love each other, as you can see in the video. They can just make each other crack up.

The popcorn Song and the latest

2010-08-19T14:52:00.000-07:00

Here is Joel singing popcorn popping on the apricot tree. So darn cute I just love him to pieces.

We went and played at pebble beach in WA and hung out with my best girlfriend in the world. And we got to see my Aunt Polly for a while.

Our trip to Wild waves man it was lots of fun Joel loved the huge wave pool, he couldn't get enough of it. He went on a whole bunch rides too.

Drew's first visit to Great Grandma Freeman's

We bought a HOUSE!!!

2010-08-07T08:57:00.000-07:00

So we are in Oregon now and look what we bought. It was a fast process before we got back my wonderful mother-in-law had been looking for houses for us. We checked out about 20 house and this is the beauty we found and we just love it. It is a 3 bed 2 bath home. It does not close until the 3rd of September so we will finish the little repairs we need to before we move in while staying in our apartment since we are paid all the way through September. It needs some things fixed up but nothing we cannot do. Joel seems to be more excited that we get to get a puppy and maybe a kitty. Enjoy the pictures.

2010-07-24T12:33:00.000-07:00

Silly Kid

2010-07-16T10:34:00.000-07:00

Oh and before you get to the other part of the post check out the little stud holding his head up. He now can roll from his back to his stomach.
So Drew has become fascinated with his tongue and I have to say it is really entertaining. Check out this cuteness!

A couple pictures Paul's sister Tracie took so cute!

Check this kid out. So Drew has started to roll from his back to his stomach within the last couple weeks. He goes to his stomach but his arm gets stuck because he wants to suck on his hand.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

2010-06-19T18:46:00.000-07:00

WELL PAUL IS GONE UNTIL TOMORROW SO WE THOUGHT WE WOULD WISH HIM AND DAD A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

Water Park and Fishing

2010-06-15T10:59:00.000-07:00

Here is what Drew did while we fished.

Paul and Joel caught a fish and reeled it in together, how cute.

Dam Marathon

2010-06-13T15:32:00.000-07:00

How amazing is he let me count the ways. My wonderful husband ran his 1st Half-Marathon here in Rexburg yesterday and he finished in 2 hours and 10 minutes, not to shabby if you ask me. Our friend Joe in the picture with Paul ran the full marathon in 3hrs and 35 min and it was his first marathon, these guys did incredible. They were of course both exhausted after the race, so needless to say Paul and I had a very low key day.

And here are some updated pictures and video of the boys, they are just so darn cute!

Drew's Growth

2010-06-03T12:52:00.000-07:00

Drew is growing so fast he is now as of his 2 month check up a couple weeks ago 12 lbs (8lbs at birth) and 24 in (Birth 20 in). He is getting so big already,and he is getting cuter and cuter.

2010-05-28T15:50:00.000-07:00

So Joel has been picking Drew up, not good I know, but we wanted to see how he was doing it. Needless to say we don't really take our eyes off the boys anymore.

Here is Drew cooing these two are for you Mom and Dad.

And here is Joel talking so well.

Smiley Boy

2010-05-17T11:03:00.001-07:00

Joel loves to help with Drew, one of the things he likes to do is feed Drew.

Mother's Day

2010-05-10T10:53:00.000-07:00

What a great Mother's Day weekend we went on a long walk and out to dinner Friday. Then Saturday we went and played games and played mini golf. Finally on Mother's Day my boys took me to the park and we had a picnic. I had a great Mother's Day!

Real Smiles

2010-05-02T21:37:00.000-07:00

The Last couple weeks

2010-04-29T14:22:00.000-07:00

Here is Drew doing what he does best sleeping!
So we got this bike at the good will store for 5 bucks(yes it was a girls bike and yes it was complete I just forgot to take a picture before I sanded it). So anyway I worked on it while Paul worked on his motorcycle and I think it turned out pretty good.

Paul got his Motorcycle running finally and got to ride it to school. I think anyone that knows Paul knows how excited he was.

Photo Shoot

2010-04-21T20:48:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures my sister-in law Kelly took of the family. ( I love you Kelly you are the greatest) This first one is so precious!!!

BROTHERS

2010-03-21T18:56:00.000-07:00

HE HAS ARRIVED

2010-03-19T15:19:00.000-07:00

Drew Ryan Tanner is what we like to call him. He was born this morning the 19th of March 2010 at 7:51am, he weighs in at a modest 8lbs even, and is a very average 20" long. Paula began feeling contractions around 5am but none of them were terribly close together or consistent so we waited until 7am, when she actually started to have some bleeding, to head to the hospital. Once at the hospital and after all the routine questions and paperwork, it only took about 15-20 minutes of pushing, a total of 4 sets of pushes, to help him find his way into the world.
Here are some pictures and video clips to help introduce him to all yall that can't have the pleasure of meeting him for a while. So it is my pleasure to introduce you, Drew, world, World, Drew.

Our New toy

2010-03-17T12:59:00.000-07:00

So we have been doing research on elliptical's and finally found the best one. Well we broke down and bought it (with tax return money of course). Paul and I are super excited to use it, however sadly I will have to sit back and watch Paul use it for a while by himself while I heal.

An update of Pics

2010-03-14T20:34:00.000-07:00

At a friends house playing games, Joel got into being the drummer.

Joel is pretty darn good at hitting balls, he can hit it if you pitch it to him a lot of the time we just decided to use the T instead.
Here is Joel reading again, another book that he loves and can read as you can hear.

Here is Joel trying on the new baby's clothes! As you can see they don't fit him he got very stuck in a 12 month outfit.

We're getting Fish

2010-03-06T18:55:00.000-08:00

We decided to get Joel some fish so we got the tank today and will be putting fish in it tomorrow! Man is Joel stoked!!! The kid loves fish.

Motorcycle progress

2010-03-06T18:43:00.000-08:00

Got the motorcycle running it just needs some fine tuning.

Joel Lately

2010-03-04T18:01:00.000-08:00

Poor Joel has been stuck in the house because of me so we got outside for a little while. It has been 40 degrees which is warm for this time here so with the ice melting we got out so the little man could ride his bike.

Reading with Daddy

2010-02-23T20:05:00.000-08:00

Alright this video is almost 4 minutes long so make sure you have time to watch it. Joel and Paul have read this book quite a bit so Joel has picked up on it. Listen to them read together.

Joel and His teddy

2010-02-21T09:52:00.000-08:00

Joel just like his mama love his teddy ruxpin. For those of you don't know what it is it plays tapes (well cartridges now that they have been updated) and you follow along with the book. Let me tell you it sure is a good thing that we have rechargeable batteries because he plays it all the time.

Joel's Changing Habit

2010-02-17T14:52:00.000-08:00

Joel has been changing his clothes probably 4 or 5 times a day and he does it all by himself in fact he really never wants our help (Mr. Independent) . This was him caught in the middle of changing. We are not quite sure why he puts his pants up so high but this just cracked us up. You know I should have stood next to him and compared belly's.

My Valentine

2010-02-10T14:06:00.000-08:00

A wonderful loving Husband!

Amazing devoted Father.

And a great son to the sweetest parents!
I have to say Mom and Dad you raised an absolutely wonderful man. I love this man so much and am so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed me with such an incredible husband.

The window

2010-02-04T09:40:00.000-08:00

So Joel has found his new favorite spot in the house sitting up by the window. He hangs out up there most of the day.(2nd picture) Well last night after his bath he decided to give the world a peep show.

Snow and Nap Time

2010-02-02T10:23:00.000-08:00

So Joel was suppose to be taking a nap and well he started yelling "help" "stuck"! So I went back to his room and this is what I found.

Joel has discovered that you can eat the snow and loves it.

I'm Going To Work

2010-01-26T18:45:00.000-08:00

I am not sure if you can hear him but he says he's going to work.

Funny video

2010-01-23T10:07:00.000-08:00

So Paul has been pretty tired lately because of Joel and I. I am not sleeping very well at night anymore with this little guy in me getting so big and Joel has had a cold and cough (and of course you don't sleep well when you sick). Anyway Paul has been such a trooper, well Joel was trying to talk to him and Paul answered him once but he was asleep (yeah a sleep talker). If you watch Joel he got frustrated with him.

Joel is really into forts so I put the tent up in the house and he loves it.

A forgoten video

2010-01-22T14:04:00.000-08:00

We bought a baby gate a while ago and it has been the only way to keep Joel in his room. Thankfully he hasn't figured out how to climb it yet. However sometimes he will make an attempt to escape, I am not sure what made him think that he could some how fit under it.
The video is of Joel body slamming his cousin Tanner, which just cracked me up. The funny thing is that they did it over and over again. I don't remember when I took this but I just found it so enjoy.

Sick Boy

2010-01-10T15:30:00.001-08:00

Joel has been sick for a week now and he seems to be feeling more and more miserable. This is how he has looked most of the time. It hurts so much when he coughs. He hasn't been sleeping very well at all so that means Paul and I aren't sleeping very well. The picture below is him eating a banana which is about all he ate yesterday aside from to gogurts.

We have gotten him to laugh a couple times which is good, right!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning

2009-12-25T11:07:00.000-08:00

This top one and bottom one are from last night.
So here is one of the cutest videos, wait for the part where he says "uh open" and watch his eyes! So stinkin cute! Joel loved Christmas morning, which we thought he would I just never believed he would be up at 7am he is usually waking up at 9am. I think he was to excited to sleep, because when I went in there he said "I'm done".

The last two pictures are of us making Christmas cookies.

Joel was a cute little train engineer, don't you just love the dirty coal face.

All the cousins went trick or treating!

Bath Time

2009-10-31T12:44:00.001-07:00

I took some pictures of Joel in the bath last night and thought I would share them. He hardly ever lays on his back in the water so I was very shocked, I think he started doing it because we have been taking him swimming at the school!

Pumpkin pickin'

2009-10-01T08:37:00.001-07:00

So we decided to go and buy our pumpkins last night and man they are huge. Joel loved it he kept trying to pick them up and of course had no success but it was pretty funny. He even surprised us and said pumpkin what a smarty pants. We are all doing great not to happy with the weather change it went for 80 degrees to 40 somethin the next day so now its way cold here. We have just been busy with school and Joel. I am now 15 weeks along so I should be able to feel kicking any day now, how exciting. We will keep you updated.

10 K Run

2009-09-05T17:52:00.001-07:00

Not a very attractive picture of Paul but considering he just ran 6 miles I'd say he looks pretty good. He finished 27th out of I am not sure how many (lots though) with a time of 55 minutes, he did awesome.

This weekend

2009-09-05T17:44:00.001-07:00

At Nate and Kelly's place they have a play structure and of course Joel loved it.

So first I have to brag how amazing my little boy is. He has just recently started potty training and holy smokes he is not even 2 yet. My kid is amazing I have to say. He is becoming more and more interested, he went potty on the toilet like 9 or 10 times yesterday. So way to go Joel!

Here are Joel's cousins on the right Tanner and Dallin and Joel's buddy Paxton all playing together how nice.

Paul built Joel a bed isn't it amazing, he has good hands and a great imagination. It is pretty high but Paul is going to build him a ladder.

Update

Look how dirty that kid is, okay that is cake mixed with dirt not just dirt. So we got to have Paul's sister Kelly and the boys here for a few days. They have been in New Jersey for 4 months doing summer sales and now they are back for school in Pocatello. We enjoyed having them here, Joel especially he loved having a buddy to play with whenever. Joel is happy as you can be. I tell ya I have never been around a kid that is so stinkin happy almost all the time. He has his moment like any other kid of course but 90% of the time he is happy. I love it. Heavenly Father sure blessed me with a great little boy.

Joel has become our little monkey! He loves to hang.

DUCK RACE

2009-08-10T14:22:00.000-07:00

Look at that mouth of Joel's it is so full of teeth!

This past weekend we went to the Duck Race, its a community event they do every year. They drop tons of rubber ducks into a river (the ducks have numbers and people have the opportunity to buy ducks with the chance to win something) they go over the falls and the first one to finish that person wins a car and then there are prizes for like the next 5 after it. Anyway it was a fun thing to do there was a car show, boat race and a fireman challenge where firemen competed against each other in a obstacle course. Not a lot has been going on with us. We can't wait for Paul's sister Kelly and her boys to get back from New Jersey this weekend, we are so excited to see you!

Okay everyone I hope you ready here come a lot of pictures!

He loves swimming

2009-06-30T09:55:00.000-07:00

So I just love these blue eyes they are so beautiful! Okay now let me talk about this next picture Joel seems to know when the pool is out and well once he finds it he jumps right in no matter what he is wearing! What a funny boy.

Air Show

2009-06-24T18:39:00.000-07:00

Almost ready to ride!

2009-06-18T16:24:00.000-07:00

Got it started sounds pretty good but it doesn't seem to be getting enough fuel so I will probably have to go through the carbs again and put some new jets in for the higher altitude.

Fishing and Car Show

2009-06-15T13:17:00.000-07:00

So Saturday we had a family outing first we went to the car show here in town and then we went fishing with some friends. Joel gave me a little scare right after this picture was taken. We loves to throw rocks into water so I think you can see where this is goin. He was throwing rocks and getting closer and closer to the water well he took a tumble he would have been fine but then he started to panic and began to role. Well the rolling obviously put him straight into the water. So I stepped into the water and pull him out so the rest of the time we were there he ran around in an extra jacket we had and a diaper. What a silly little boy!!!

The Circus is in town

2009-06-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

The whole circus was awesome but of course Joel's favorite part was the motorcycle's driving in the cage ball which I did get a good picture of but I got a video.

We went with some friends and this is Joel's buddy Owen.

Just Wednesday

2009-05-27T14:56:00.000-07:00

They look the same in this picture, does anyone else see it? Defiantly father and son!

Well it was back to school for Paul and I however there was fun in the sun once classes were done for the day! We busted out the pool for the 1st time this year. The park and water park were ridiculously packed today so we didn't want to even try to go over there (Kelly I know you know what I mean!)

Just love these pictures

2009-05-25T22:09:00.000-07:00

These pictures are from this weekend!

Joel's words

2009-05-14T15:39:00.000-07:00

Joel and I have been working on his words and thought you would like to hear how good he is doing. We have been practicing I love you!

FINAL FOUR GRADUATE SCHOOLS

2009-05-07T19:19:00.000-07:00

Paul has narrowed it down now we know where we are applying for Graduate school. We won't apply until the Fall of course, but he had to narrow it down from 15 schools that he liked. Its pretty exciting to have an idea where we are going. Paul still needs to take the GRE for grad school and that will be done early fall so he can send in his test score with his application. Anyway we will let you know more as time goes on.

OH NO

2009-04-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

Look at our little trouble maker, I never thought this day would come. Hey what can I expect he is a 1 1/2 years old its almost to be expected. You know even so he is still an amazing little kid.

Look at that face is that a how dare you look or what!

What a Laugh

2009-04-02T18:02:00.000-07:00

So the first time I fell going up to the ball and he got a big kick out of it, so of course I had to do it again and again!

And Joel has been throwing out words left and right lately, one of his new words is "THIS". He sounds so grown up. Other words that he says is; No, yes, yo, yeah, please, thanks, Papa (which is grandpa), Dada, Mama, Amen, what,Cookie, Doggy, Shoe, down, cool, that, Juice, and go! He says "what's that" all of the time, so we call that his two word sentence. What a smart little kid.
