One week old

Out little sweetie. It is hard to believe that she is one week old today.

Hold on tight Anna Grace

I love these hand pictures.

Big Brothers

The boys just can't get enough of Anna Grace. It is really amazing to Mark and I how much they are "into" their little sister. They can't wait to hold her.

Coming home from the hospital

We came home on Friday from the hospital. We were ready to get out of there. I had great care but 2 days post delivery was a bit much.

Anna grace is Here!!!!!

Our little miracle was born today-June 20, 2007 at 8:30 am CST. She was 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 18 1/4 inches long. She and mommy are doing great!!! Welcome to the Tanner family!!!

Ethan's Turns Four!!!!

Ethan had his fourth birthday party on Sunday. It is amazing how quickly time has passed. He had a Thomas the Tank Engine party. They played pin the number on Thomas and we had a Pinata for the kids. Fun was had by all.

Ashton our little business man

Ashton came into the house this afternoon wanting "string" to make belts with his can tops so that he can sell them. I showed him how to crochet and add the can tops to it as he goes. He took off with it and is talking about how he is going to sell them on ebay.

We were Wild at the Zoo

Mark and the boys went to the Fort Worth Zoo today with Amy, Blake, Bailee and Michael. They had a great time. They saw the baby giraffe and the alligator wanted Ashton... (I wonder how much he would pay for a really good meal?)

Tomatos everywhere.....

I bought 2 very small tomato plants about 1 1/2 months ago. We have been watching them grow and get buds on them. I went to Ace Hardware to get stakes, when I got the stakes home I realized that the plants were too big for them. I returned them for the huge tomato stakes. I can not believe how big they have gotten. It is the good old horse compost that I spread last year. Ethan loves tomatos.

Summer Fun!!!!!

Summer has been a lot of fun. In between all of the rain, we have been to the movies twice and we have been to the skatepark. Today we went to the park and went fishing. Ethan had a fish break his hook and Ashton caught a small catfish. They were so excited. Our kids love the outdoors!!!

Boys and Their Toys

It is dangerous with me working at Cabela's. I get some very good discounts and we have lots of cool toys that boys love. Today i got such a good deal on a bow for me and Ashton that it was too good to pass up. So, now all the boys have some new really cool toys to play with. Ashton was so excited when he got home from school.

Beth's Work Picnic

We had a work picnic this past Saturday at Circle K ranch in Flower Mound. What a great place for this type of activity. Just about anything you want to do was available. Jump houses for the kids, horseback riding, rock wall for climbing, swimming, etc, etc. The boys and us had a lot of fun. Great food and fun on a beautiful day.

Ashton's Soccer

Ashton has become quite the soccer player and he is on a very good team. When they win or tie on Saturday they will have won the league. That is quite a difference from last season where the team he was on barely scored a goal. He has a great coach and kids that have played together for a few seasons. Maybe he has found a new sport to be good at!!

New Pictures

The Tanner family took pregnancy pictures on Sunday afternoon. WE ARE GETTING CLOSE NOW!!!!

Cheetah has been "taped"

We kept finding Cheetah on the changing table and in the crib. I was talking about it at work one day and a friend told me to put tape upside down in the crib and changing table. This way when she gets up there she will "get taped" and will not want to do it again. Well, we taped everything last week and have been awaiting the day when she "gets taped". It has been pretty funny to hear us talk about it around the house, "honey, did Cheetah get taped today?"... well, the day has come. Mark is not here to enjoy the moment. The boys and I were in Ethan's room cleaning up and Cheetah came in sounding "scratchy"... she sat down and tried to see what she had gotten herself into.... the boys and I sure did enjoy the moment.... (this isn't pet abuse is it?)

Beth and I (and Anna Grace) got to go to the American Heart Association Heart Ball on Saturday night. Good thing they didn't charge the $250 for Anna Grace to come with us. It was a lot of fun to dress up and go out with my beautiful wife. Can't wait until we get to do it again.

Yard Work Tanner Style

Ethan and I spent some time Saturday afternoon working on the curb appeal of our house. Ethan loves to help!!

Parent's Book report

Ashton read Charlotte's Web and then watched the movie. Mom and Dad helped with the book report. Dad performed the technical aspects and Mom performed the creative aspects. WHAT A TEAM EFFORT!!!!
