Savannah's Photos

This last week I took school pictures of the girls because I have not been very thrilled with the ones the school does so I decided to do my own so I did the girls photo shoot first I will do the boys sometime in the next week. I also did some of my friend Brandy's daughter Kaylee and her younger son Nephi! So here is some of Savannah it is hard to get some good ones of her cause she does a goofy smile!

Sage's Photos

Here a few of Sage's she is pretty photogenic so she had a lot that were good!!

Wild Game Park

A couple of weekends ago we went to a Wild Game Park in Bandon Oregon it was so very cool and the kids had a blast! They got play and feed baby tigers they loved it! They got to hold and pet a lot of different animals! They feed the bears their ice cream cones that held the food they feed the animals that roamed around the park!





He was eating peanuts!!

Swim Lessons

So Hunter, Sage and Cooper all had swim lessons this year Sierra wanted to so badly but to go by themselves they have to be three! So next year she will get to! All three of them did so well and they all love the water! They take after their mom I guess!

Over the past couple weeks!

I thought I would do a post of some pictures from a couple weekends ago we drove to St. Helen's Oregon where the other film spots of Twilight were filmed St. Helen's was one of the couple I haven't been too so we went and it was fun! The kids enjoyed it too! So they support mom in her craziness!





Police Station, Bella's House, and the restaurant the Bloated Toad in movie.


This is the alley that Bella walks down from the book store and the parking lot where the guys go after her and Edward shows up. Oh and the book store.





This is a shop where they bought all the prom dresses for the movie and there were life size stand ups of the different characters it was fun and the kids tried on different hats and stuff.

This is a hair salon in St. Helen's but in the movie it was the shop where the girls are trying on dresses and Bella is sitting in the window.

Just to Catch Up!

So I was so worried about keeping the kids busy this Summer but we have been going non-stop. Went on vacation had a awesome time wish I could go back! The kids have had two different weeks of Bible School which they really enjoy and its free and they are gone for a couple hours! Savannah has swim team practice monday thru Friday so that keeps her and me busy! Then she has some swim meets coming up in the next couple weeks so that will be fun! We are gonna try and go camping here in the next couple weeks the kids want to go so bad! We have the Tanton family reunion coming up on Aug 21st that will be fun. C. is home now but Dad left for Baghdad yesterday so one is home and now we can worry about another but at least he is safer. The kids still have 5 weeks til school starts but it has gone much better than I thought! I have officially signed up for the 1/2 marathon I am gonna do! I am excited and nervous but it will feel great to accomplish something that I would never thought I would do! I will post different pics from the last couple weeks! And I am a bad mom and forgot to post something for Savannah's birthday she turned 9 on the 19th! Oh and Hunter starts football in a couple weeks and I am starting the cookie dough fundraiser for that! So Hunter is trying to win the top prize of whoever sells the most cookie dough a minimum of 75 tubs he will win a x box 360! So if there are any of you who want to support him let us know!!! Then Hunter, Sage and Cooper start swim lessons next week so I think I have done pretty good at keeping them busy! I will be better and post more over the next couple weeks! Oh and for Savannah's birthday I took her, Sage and her friend Kaylee to see Eclipse they were very excited and when it was over they said it was Awesome! I also had a girls night out with some friends for one of our friends birthday we had fun! And Hunter has had Summer school for the last few weeks as well and he didn't complain so that is good because he was not happy about going at all so it must of been better than he expected!!

Back from Cali!!

So we are back from Cali! We had a great time! It was so nice to see family and hang out! It was so nice to see two of my best friends it was so nice to hang out and just chat while the kids played! I truly miss them so very much! I did not want to go back to Oregon once Saturday came around. I know the kids are glad to be home but me not so much! I got to see some old friends and it was so nice to see them and hang out!!! I didn't get a pic of me and Shannon dang it but it was awesome to see her and Jenn and just hang out! I miss both of them so much!
