Too Cute!!!

As I was trying so hard to find a great picture of Tanner as an infant (which is not hard to find if you can find the file. :>) He was a gorgeous baby!!! (I promise to post some when I can access them). Anyway, I ran across this picture. This is when we lived at Edwards, CA. Jay was in the Test Pilot program so once again, time with daddy was a precious thing. He was doing so much studying to be at the top of his class that he was "really using" his glasses. The boys found some and wanted to "look just like Daddy". Too bad we cannot just bottle the little ones up and keep them at this cute, safe, moment!! Right before Jay left to Iraq we had our "annual" birthday photos of the kids taken. This is Jay's least favorite day of the year. It usually results in someone spilling something on someone right before a picture is taken and at least one of the kids in tears. This year I decided to try and do it a little differently. I found a great photographer in our area that met us a the park and took pictures of the kids there. They got to run around and she went crazy with the pictures. We got some good ones but definitely not the conventional pictures. However, I think she captured true personalities. But she also put together this collage for Jay to take with him so that he could have the kids with him while he was half way across the world. It is gorgeous and brings tears to my eyes when I see it. So I have to share.


Have a great weekend, my friends!!!!
