Tait's Ordination into the Priesthood, and Grandpa Williamson's Birthday! June 12, 2011

We had some family come to town to help celebrate Tait becoming a member of the Priesthood. I am so proud of the man that he is becoming and I am so glad that he makes such good choices. Afterwards we had a family party, and this is what happens when I let the kids take the camera...

Honey and Tammie threading meat onto skewers...

Nana and Aidia talking at the table...

Taya and Amara playing around...

Answering the door! Interesting huh!?

Kade having fun in his excersaucer...

Playing cat in the cradle...

Playing games in the office...

Strike a pose Tony...

More meat...

More meat...

Grandpa getting ready to open his gifts...

Telling some sort of story or giving some advice I'm sure...

This is what I made him for his birthday, the perfect quote for my dad: "It's lonely at the Top, but it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the Bottom".

Tait playing with his new gift, the basketball and his hoop.
Daddy with his invention, a long BBQ just for this recipe :)

The men with the meat...

Tait and grandpa with their cake.

Happy Birthday Boys!

Tait's 12th Birthday~ June 9, 2011

 Tait is 12, can you believe it!?  He is a Young Man, and a fine one at that.  He is such a great friend, son, student and brother!  He is so ready to be moving out of Primary... We love you Tait and we are glad you had a great birthday!

Tait is opening his family gifts here, they are wrapped in tin foil, we adopted this tradition from our good friends, the Hancocks!  Then Tait is off to a scavenger hunt to find his big gift!

 The fridge is one of the stops~

 There it is, in the back of the van...

 It's a basketball hoop!  Yes!

 Tait chose to go to IHop for his birthday breakfast!  Here he is teaching Kade how to use his tongue :)

 Yes, he's got it!

 Such a cute smile!

 Yummy french toast.

Here is Tait lighting his own birthday candles at his birthday party...

 12 candles...

 Make a wish!

 Yup, they are trick candles... :)

 One girlfriend!

 Opening his gifts, well, really when they are this old, it's usually money in a card :)

 Kade was having fun with Tiernan too!~

 Tait with his friends... Kristian, Carter and Trent.  We miss you guys!

 MOM, stop taking pictures!

Peanut Butter S'mores... Yum! June 2011

 Have you ever tried adding peanut butter to your s'mores?  Well it's delicious!  You should try it!

 We like to use our gas cook top to "roast" our marshmallows.  Smart huh!?
