The Boys

Tanner and I took Colbyn and Dax over to the shop the other day (well we do pretyt much every day we're up here) and I just so happen to have my camera with me and hadn't taken pictures in quite some time so I thought I would. Dew ran to catch up with Tanner, who was walking back to work on something on his truck and I just thought it looked so adorable. Dew calls that truck the Broke.


Too bad this one is blurry and a little cut off b/c it is so cute otherwise!
CHEEEEEESE!!


I wasn't so good at aiming the camera so that Dax's head got in the pictures.
And this is Colbyn getting into Tanner's stock of Cars... him and Dax love to get into them... and yes that is a completely filled laundry basket behind Dew of just Cars, Tanner has a lot.

On A Happier Note

we were taking pictures... like a few months ago... because she liked the sound that my phone makes when you take a picture (monkey) i promise she laughed agter this picture was taken

Never Mind

I wanted to post picture of the 4 new CUTE baby chicks... and 2 ducks that Tanner had just got last week on the blog and I hadn't gotten around to naming them yet b/c i wanted Tanner's nephew to name one, when... on Wednesday Tanner got a phone call from his mom saying that our barn was on fire... we hurried up to South Jordan to see the damage and to try and do anything we could but this is what it looked like by the time we got up there... the firefighters had already come and put it out. So we no longer have Thanksgivingdinner and Water, and all of the other animals which adds up to 14 babies all together (his buddy had just barely added 4 "teenage" chickens like the day before). We still have the other half of the barn but it needs to be fixed up before we can put animals in that side.
We found out (after the fact, from the renter) that the neighborhood kids, including the renters', have been sneaking into the barn everyday and we think they probably knocked down one of the heat lamps. :( We're pretty upset about it, Tanner and his buddy had put a lot of time and money into it... but Tanner's neighbor did donate $100 to "Tanner's Farmer Cooperative" she knew how hard they had worked on it and how excited Tanner was about being a farmer! So we're just going to try and fix that side back up again so we can have at least baby ducks again.

TooT TooT!!


A little horn tooting for Tanner T. because i'm pretty proud :)!! So he had a state-wide competition this weekend for all the students in diesel technology! The competition is called Skills USA V.I.C.A. (they're pretty hard core) They do competitions for all things considered trades, comsmotolgy, firefighting, graphic communications, cabinet making, and like 100s more. I went to the awards ceremony with tanner which included awards for all the 1000s of people competing in all the other areas as well. And Tanner Thompson got first in Diesel Equipment Technology!!!(he got third out of all UVSC students, but somehow improved since then) He now goes to nationals in Kansas City, all his teachers that he's had so far in diesel have all gotten first in nationals so they are pretty excited to take Tanner to all the BIG companies around the area to train him! And on top of the cool gold medal he gets he also got like 800 dollars worth of tools and paraphernalia from companies like CAT, wheeler, international, john deere, snap on tools, UTA... pretty much all the places he could go to work... all of the companies were there too! So I guess just from winning this he pretty much has his choice of places to work now... It's pretty exciting! Unforunately I didn't get a picture of him on the podium in his official VICA outfit getting his medal... but his teacher did!

A Dream Date

for Tanner. He has been wanting to take me over to the shop forever to play with all the toys... or well tools. It ended up being fun though. This is me MIG Welding.

And this is me arc welding... i guess i should have taken pictures of how good my welding was.

And this is the plasma cutter.... LOTS o FUN! it was my favorite toy!

And plasma cutter again. And yes there are little holes all in my sneakers now.

And this is what i cut out well one of the many things!

And this is an attempt to get a picture of my hair and the dirt that was allll over my face. I kept trying to itch my face or try to remove a bit of dirt on my face and i just spread more on.
He had to choose the day I had my hair all done cute and i didn't even get to go show it off... just got stuck under a welding helmet... sheeez

And He Shall Be Called...

Dinner!!! Well that's just his nickname... his full name is Thanksgivingdinner! He's precious... until he gets big and ugly and gets those hang-y gobbler things then i'll probably not be as fond of him anymore! But Tanner is pretty excited about raising him some animals this summer and being a true hick! These turkeys are the first ones we have so far... he's planning on getting chickens, 2 cows, and 2 pigs, he spent all weekend building a chicken coop w/ his buddy and a little habitat for our turkeys!! And this is Colbyn driving tanner's truck over to go see the "babies"! He really enjoys going over and seeing them and holding them!
These are all four of them, i picked the tiniest one i could find at the store! He is the one sitting by the water bucket! Dax named one of the other ones Water... i guess he thought it went along great with Dinner!

Colbyn just about chokes these poor things whenever we let him hold them but he sure loves holding them...... and unfortunately kissing them too. Without fail every time he kisses them. I guess because they are just so little they deserve kisses, here you can note the strangling of the bird.
Dax thought it was pretty funny that he jumped in this picture with me and my Dinner!
and then it pooped in my hand... Colbyn kept trying to hand feed/force feed him wheat that was sitting in a near bucket and i think he scared the thing into having an accident.
