Summer's gone

Well, I am kind of caught up. I left lots out, but thought I could hilight a few things. Ethan is headed back to school this week!! Where did the summer go? Ethan actually admitted to being excited for school to start!! I must be really boring! Addi started potty training the first of June and I am sooo proud to say that she has nearly mastered it!! It didn't take her long. Once she got the day time down, the night time seemed to follow right behind!! It is so wonderful, no diapers and no pullups!! Hopefully she doesn't change her mind!!

TAT Family Reunion

The kids were able to do lots of fun things at the reunion like shoot balloons with the BB guns. This is Dallen.
And there was face painting. Great job Rylie and Kelsey!! Cute little Savanah as a kitty!
Here is Eastan as a tiger!
Uncle Wes had a ring toss with pop! Here is Klint giving it a shot..
Trace was scaring all the little ones with is flame face!!

Ethan became a pro at riding horses. Smoke has been around along time...
Ethan did admit that it hurt pretty bad in the seat area when smoke galloped!!
Uncle Wes making sure all goes well for me...I got a little nervous with Ethan being responsible for Addi and Smoke.
Addi smelling the wild flowers at Uncle Chet's...
Hunter bowling...Reunions are a stress for the one preparing it!! Thanks to Charmian for all she did to make it a fun reunion!! Every year Ethan says, "this was the best reunion ever!" We are sending our first nephew missionary off in a month or so. That gave all of the girls something to cry about. It brought back memories of sending our brothers off. It is a great thing, but sure tough. We are proud of Ty and will miss him the next few years. Austin and Bennett are following too close behind. Let's all gear up for a double wammy of emotions!! Memories last a lifetime and the past few days we were able to create many memories that can never be taken away!! TAT family I love you lots thanks for a great weekend!!

4th of July

What natural smile they both have...waiting for the parade to start.
Ethan was encouraging Addi to gather the treats, it didn't take her long to get the hang of it.
This is what makes the Parowan parade worth while...
Dan and I took the kids to Paguitch Lake with some friends on the 5th for fireworks. It was chilly but nice...we took treats and sat on the edge of the lake. It was neat to see the fireworks over the lake. Dan was busy all day on the 4th doing volunteer stuff for the Brian Head Fire Dept. They host a breakfast and then have dinner for the volunteers and their families in the evening before they set off fireworks. We didn't see him much on the 4th but did enjoy the fireworks with Kimala and Dawsyn. If you ever feel the need for a great firework show and a cool, relaxing night try out Brian Head. It really is a fun time!!
