Girls Camp

So I survived my time at Girls Camp! Overall, it was a great experience and I was able to get to know our girls a lot better. I've served in the YW in our ward for 2 and a half years and have loved it. These girls are amazing and teach me so much.

Soooo HOT!

So anyone that knows me, knows that I can not stand the heat. Yes, I grew up in California where the weather is perfect and occasionally it gets really hot. But, there's a beach to go to. Today it was over 100 degrees with crazy humidity. I hate the east coast weather. Tonight we went to a Family Home Evening group with some people in the ward. We were all sweating, but I had never seen Tanner get so hot. His face was so red and he was drenched in sweat. His hair also got really curly... wonder where he gets that. Anyway, you can kind of see the curly hair in these pictures. I love it!

Memorial Day

We had a really fun Memorial Day. We went over to the Howden's house for a BBQ. Good times were had by all... and this picture was just too cute. Here's Tanner with his girlfriend Bryn. These little baldies are so cute together. Tanner gets so excited when he sees her and actually gives her hugs, which is rare for him.




And the most popular activity at the BBQ - a bucket of water. Who's the genius that brought that out?

Backyard Fun

Here is my first attempt at a video. Hope it works! It's Tanner with his new bike out in our backyard.

Yummy!

Tanner's first injury

So today was a little traumatic for me. Tanner fell down the stairs in our backyard... wood stairs off our back porch onto the cement patio. It was like slow motion. He only cried for about 30 seconds and then was fine, except for this lovely scratch. However, I was a wreck. I felt like the worst mom. How could I have let this happen? I'm lucky that Tanner is such a stud and took it like a man. He was so tough! He definitely did not get that from me.




Oh so sad!

More fun with visitors

Our friends Brett and Jenae came out to visit this past week. We had so much fun hanging out and doing the tourist thing.


Here we are at Betsy Ross' house. We saw all the sites of downtown Philly. It's so fun living here!


We also went up to New York for the day.


Tanner loved Times Square. He was an angel!
