Jazz vs. Suns in style..

So near the end of January, we were able to enjoy a great day in the Utah with the fam, thanks to Hailey watching my kids! Thanks Boog! We went to the Jazz game, and thanks to my dad's "connections" we sat in some awesome seats. Let's just say we usually sit a little higher than we did that night! Two of the seats were in the front row, we didn't make the rotation since the married kids are off the payroll, ha ha ! It was a great time!

Tanner's Home!

Returning from a glorious 2 year soul saving mission, please welcome back from Detroit Michigan, ELDER TANNER WAHLEN! (little Saturday's Warrior shout out)

The three amigos, together again

Tanner, we'd like to introduce you to Quincy Lu, the craziest woman you ever met...

Tanner was reliving his old glory days when he ran through the banner we made for him so we tried to recreate it!

The whole airport clan

Tears of Joy

Grandpa, Carla, and Tanner

Tanner and Whit, she's changed quite a bit over the last two years!

Good to be Home!

It has been so great to have Tanner home, I know he was an awesome missionary! Halle and Quincy weren't sure what they thought of him at first, but warmed up quickly! We love you Tan!

Once there was a Snowman

New Years Morning, Chan took the girls out to make a snowman. I wanted to take a picture of the girls in their snow stuff and Quincy didn't want to be left out so she snuck in there. So excuse the lack of pants and one shoe.

They were so excited about their snowman and I'm so mad that I didn't get a picture of the final product, but it was pretty stinkin' awesome, just sayin.

Back to Disneyland???

The other day I found Halle and Quincy had taken everything out of a box of things I ordered and both gotten in. Halle said they were riding a boat to Disneyland, oh how I wish it were true!

Christmas Kindergarten Program

At the beginning of December, McKinley's teacher Mrs. Crane and another Kindergarten teacher Miss Law put on a DARLING Christmas program. McKinley was the moon, from "Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon." A little boy in her class would jump over her and she would stand up and wipe her brow like "phew." All the kids said parts and did great!After the program with some of her friends. Saddie, Reagan, Marin, and McKin. She refused to keep her costume long enough to take the picture, oh well!

Breakfast with Santa

This year we started to make it a tradition and Misti and I took the kids to Breakfast with Santa at the Shilling House again. The kids had a great time!

Go COUGS!

So since our lives revolve around BYU Football (of course I wouldn't have it any other way) we had to be back to Utah in time for the big game. I was planning to watch the game on TV at my sister Jill's house in Clinton so I could watch the kids there, but my WONDERFUL friend Misti ended up watching them for me at her in-laws in Lehi so I could go to the game. Thanks MIST! I totally owe her, and thanks to the Bruderers for letting the girls come there and helping with them. Even though they are Utes, I think they have a LOT of class, ha ha! The game was so exciting and I was glad I got to go, especially since the right team ended up on top!
