My baby brother Jens

Here is the latest picture I got of my baby brother Jens who is serving in Afghanistan right now. I am so grateful that he has been kept safe and continue to pray for him and the other troops serving. He will not be going home until next year so I thought that I would pay tribute to him for his sacrifice and quit complaining because he doesn't really complain all that much - and look where he is!!!! I am a little scared of whatever has crept under his lip and made a home - shave it off Jens!!!!!!

We love you xoxoxo

Mason Tanner

Mason is our oldest - 12 years old going on 20 - He is very active and loves sports. He has just returned from Scout camp and is working on all his requirements so he can earn his Eagle. He is going into 8th grade this year and can't wait to get to Poston Butte High School next year. He will be playing football again this year for STYFL and hopes to be able to play for Walker Butte also. He was just elected to the Order of the Arrow for scouting and is now serving as the 2nd counselor in the Deacons Quorum at Church.

Tristen Lisette

Little T will be entering 1st grade this fall. She did extremely well this past year and has done a great job practicing her reading this summer. We have a reading contest going on and she is keeping up nicely...she checks out at least 10 books each time we go to the library!! She continues to suprise us with her reading of the scriptures and is now reading 2-4 verses each night, mostly without our help. She is eagerly awaiting the start of soccer season and is branching out with her sporting skills. She has been tubing this summer and is also getting better on the u-board.

Clayton Bradley

Clayton is almost 4. He is keeping up with the other kids and keeping us on our toes. He loves the water and has really taken to swimming with his dolphin pack...he jumps in and lets loose in the pool all the time now. He continues to fight the evil ones and we often have to refer to him as Prince Caspian or Indiana Jones or whatever hero he feels like being. He has a great imagination and is constantly making up stories and keeps us laughing with his imaginary friends. Clayton attended Book of Mormon camp recently and loves to sing the songs he learned...he tells everyone about camp. He loves his new Sunbeam teacher Sister Rogers and has actually started participating in Sharing Time. He has fun playing with his friends Jada and Reese and now refers to them as "Bay Bay"...thanks a lot Big T!!!!!
