Life in the Fast Lane



my sister Leah and me! Isn't she so cute pregnant! Both her and Meredith are due in less than 3 weeks I think! I can't wait to become a new aunt again. I told Tanner what our family does when new babies come! We all go to the hospital and wait for the baby to be born and get all excited looking at the nursery babies. Then the parents get their special time and then we get to come in and all hold the baby before she goes and is all cleaned up! I already have cute Deacon and Ella, and can't wait to see the next babies! It's so special to see new babies because you know that they are from Heavenly Father and it shows how wonderful His creations are !







Last weekend my sister and brother-in-law had a weekend away from the girls before the new baby comes. So my parents watched Anna and Kirsten. My other sister had her baby shower that weekend, so my mom and I went to that while Tanner and my dad watched them. They were supposed to take naps, but didn't and so Tanner took them to the park up the street and he became the best uncle when he did that.

So when my mom and I came back Tanner and I chilled with the girls and then went shopping since it was tax-free weekend. I found a cute pair of jeans and Tanner found a nice white polo.

Then we went to dinner with my parents and nieces to celebrate my Dad's birthday! That Wednesday, Tanner and I went to the temple and while we were down there we got my dad the conference CDs which he loved.

This week we have been getting ready for school, buying books, permits, and everything else in between!

Lots of work and fun!

Roughriders Game


We got free ticket s from the family business to go to the Rough Riders game. We met up with Alan and Luz who work with Tanner and had a double date. The game was great to watch and in the 2nd inning the Rough Riders hit 3 home runs!!! An d they won the game ! YAY !At the game
If you look closely you can see the pink jerseys that the Roughriders wore in honor of the Mary Kay charity foundation. They auctioned them off to raise money for their charity. You could tell the people who were mary kay because they had on so much make up and were all dazzled up.
They had all sorts of fun games during the innings. Here was a tug of war with some kids and the teeth.
Funny Tanner.

This is their mascot, Deuce. It was Mary Kay night and pink was everywhere literally!!!! Pink shirts, hats etc.

Birthdays and Anniversaries Celebration

We decided to celebrate my parent's anniversary and my sister Meredith and Brother-in-laws' anniversary and my dad's birthday and Neil's birthday on one sunday! We had fun getting together. We love parties in our family! Any reason to celebrate will do.

Tanner and me!

Family action!

Six Flags

A couple weeks ago we went to Six Flags with Emma and Randi. It was quite a hot day and my job was making sure everyone had enough water. We had lots of fun and here are a couple pictures we took. Don't mind the sweat looks. : )

A couple weeks ago we went to Six Flags and took Emma and Randi. They spent the night at the aparment and


We waited in line for the Superman. Tanner ended up sitting in the middle of me and Emma and Randi waited for us at the bottom. It was so fun. We were able to see Arlington from the top with a lot of screams!
This is at the end of the day! We were so tired and hot and sticky....but overall despite the hot weather we had a wonderful time at six flags! Here we are in front of the batmobile that's in front of the long line for the Batman ride! I love that ride. While Tanner and the girls went on a water ride, I went on the Batman and it was so fun!

Family

Today I went to Meredith's to work on some special gifts I'm making for Deacon and Ella. Sorry, I can't tell yet ;) I took some pics of Anna and Kirsten who have such pretty blue eyes!

Little Anna sneaked into a little corner and was drinking her water bottle. Then I coaxed her out and asked her to smooch her lips! Isn't she adorable ? And almost 3! I can't believe it!
Kirsten putting on my lipgloss. Every time I see them the first thing they ask is "Can I have some lipgloss?" And Anna will find it in my purse and put it on and then give some to kirsten. Today was a lounging day as you can see!

Last night I went shopping with my mom and came home and watched So You Think You Can Dance?! These are just a couple of pics from when Tanner came home from work.

Tanner and me just after he came home from work making funny faces.
Here we are posing for mom!
My mom fixing Tanner's work/dress pants!
My dad playing spider solataire looking quite librairain-ish! Isn't he handsome?!

Just a typical night and day with me and Tanner!

BOWLING IN DENTON

Mom Blankenfeld, Emma, Randi, and Richard came down to Denton for FHE 2 mondays ago! We all went bowling and enjoyed the time together. Mom Blankenfeld won the first game and Tanner won the last game! The last game I got 5 strikes :) I was so excited ! We all aimed for strikes! There were so many things that happened with our lane and most of the time it happened during Emma's turn. First a little girl had a ball and threw it into our lane. Then the lane just froze and so we moved lanes and happened to move next to the a pro bowler who owned the little shop in the bowling alley. He gave us some tips and we nodded and smiled! They actually helped and I started doing well, but then had a streak of gutters, but came back:)
Randi waiting to bowl!
Richard had never been bowling and so we all tried to help him. The pro bowler did some great work trying to help him!
While bowling everyone else would talk around the screen at the table. But Emma always watched and I had made a strike and I looked back to celebrate and there was everyone talking but Emma clapping for me! What a cheerleader.
Mom Blankenfeld about to bowl. She was so much fun. She always made sure to tell how well we'd done after our bowl!

This is the pro bowler who helped us, Just kidding. It's just tanner acting funny with his 14 lb ball.

Cute Emma with her new brown hair! In the back you can see the bowling ball in the gutter, we all had our chances with gutter balls but we all cheered each other on!!

Me and Tanner!
