Due to unfortunate circumstances...

I am thinking it is just a matter of time before everyone makes their blogs private.  I have heard some scary things from friends about keeping their blogs public.  I know we like to believe the world is okay for the most part...but to think someone might be using innocent photos of OUR children for their own will and pleasure is enough to force me to make the change.  I feel an obligation to protect the things I value the most.  Without going into detail, I do know for certain that my blog and the photos, thoughts, ideas and information posted HAS been 'abused' by someone I know.  I can't let this go on any further.  So, if you would like to still be an 'invited' guest to our family blog, please let me know via the comments option below or by emailing me at tanyas_stuff@comcast.net

Also, please know that I would love to have all of you (who are friends and family) to be included in that list if you are interested.  I still think it is a great way to keep in touch and see pics of your growing families and your adventures in life!  It sure makes the world a smaller and more lovely place!  I will be making the switch to PRIVATE in one week:)

A Perfect Weekend

A few weeks ago we blessed Tyler and visited lots of family!  It really was a perfect weekend. Here are some more photos from that trip.  Sadly, I forgot to take photos of the great family party at Grandma Fern's home.  Grandma Fern and Carolyn and many others pitched in to make it absolutely wonderful. 

 

Grandma Fern, who will be 92 this year and

Tyler, 2 months old.  If I remember right, he is the 37th great grandchild.

We were finally able to have Ben's family come up to my parents home in the mountains.  It was a beautiful day!  My parents made us some yummy food (Dad's homemade Fried Rice) and our visit was short but sweet.

My mom, Marge and Ben's mom, Carolyn.

Here are the cousins watching Josh's soccer game (actually I think they were mostly just eating snacks the whole time). 

Water fun with the cousins!

These two are so stinkin' cute together!  They really enjoy each other.

See what I mean?

Mr. Bigstuff Camden, who doesn't know he is only 18 months old.  So cute!

Cute cousins.

The girly swirlies loving Baby Tyler.

On the way home we stopped at Shoshone Falls.  Quite impressive!  These are called 'The Niagra of the West'.  They drop 50 feet further than Niagra Falls.  Huh...and to think we have passed these amazing waterfalls so many times and never took the time to see them until now.
