The Donut Chef

They got to hold dough balls and see the machine

After the tour eating donuts they frosted themselves

Emma, Broc, & Tanner putting sprinkles on their donuts

What a fun way to enjoy the school break!

We have a library book about a Donut Chef. I was reading it last week and Tanner asked "Mom, what's a glazed donut?". I realized we never buy donuts or go to donut shops so I arranged a tour of the local Krispy Kreme with some of Tanner's friends. They got to make their own donuts. It was so fun!

Christmas morning

A good looking bunch, but getting tired of getting pictures taken!

We got our high standards from Utah Valley....

We had a family tattoo party at home before the church party. Tanner didn't want to wear his Transformer costume when he saw us dressing up so we let him join the fun!

Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween last night! Hope that you all did too!

A few pictures from around here

Whenever Dave fixes anything Tanner gets out his "Bob The Builder" hat and all his tools. Tanner loves helping fix things so much he gets hyper. He even went and put jeans on instead of shorts so he could really be ready to help (although Dad's in shorts??).

Tanner never stops having fun. Friday night after his bath he came out of his room in church clothes instead of p.j.'s. He even went and combed his hair. Lately he likes doing his hair. I think he gets it from Dave.

Complete with shoes tied. The knots are HUGE. Tanner is very proud.

He put his own tie on, too. Remember, it's 8:30 pm and he was supposed to be putting his pajamas on.

fall

This is the beginning of fall color in the Ozarks. I took this picture standing in the driveway looking towards the south and zoomed in to get the beautiful red tree in our field before it loses its color. Wish I was a better picture taker. We do have a lot of beautiful nature I'd like to share!

Yesterday was our first day back to school. Syd had to have photos too. :)

Boating

Cade "no hands" on the kneeboard. He is finally brave enough to give it a try this year.

We spent the last week before school started going boating. One of my favorite things to do. One day we let the kids each bring a friend and then another day we took out a couple of friends and their families. We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the company was great.
