Baby Blessing



Tanner was given a special baby blessing at our church on August 7, 2011. Not to be confused with a baptism, the blessing is like a special prayer for Tanner. Since Jeremy holds the priesthood, he was able to give Tanner the blessing. It was such a special day- one that I had been looking forward to for a long time.

We were very blessed to have most of our family spend the weekend of the blessing with us.

 While everyone was here, we all went to the beach! Grandma & Grandpa Davidson were real troopers. I loved visiting with Gpa while I fed Tanner in the shade.

The men that participated in the blessing (Matt held the microphone for Jeremy during the blessing) It's awesome that Tanner has so many great guys to look up to.

I love his little outfit - especially that white bow tie! How cute! It seems like the cool thing to do with family is head to the beach (: He is such a cute kid, I love all of his facial expressions!

4th of July

  Our celebrations for Independence Day 2020 were very different than what we're used to. This is my favorite holiday along with Easter, and I try to go big each year, so it took a lot of stretching for me to find ways to make the week special with so many Covid limitations. We ended up having a lot of fun! First we got things festive looking around the house with art projects.  Tanner really liked painting, with straws!  Dallin really liked it, too! We went to Walmart to buy some clothes for Mom, Tanner, and Dallin. Mom really wanted to see how she looked so Tanner took some pictures. We couldn't go into the changing rooms cuz of Covid, and there weren't any mirrors around, so this is the only thing we could do! Cool guys ready to celebrate in their new shirts!! Can you see the great horned owl in the tree? This is our view from our balcony. There it goes!! Massage time for Mom!! Dallin really wanted to be a masseuse, so this is one way for him to do it! Grandpa Papa and...

A Happy New Year

Image
Between Christmas and New Year's, we had some great vacationing. Jeremy worked on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (cuz they are slower days), and then took off Mondays. So he had a much needed relaxing two weeks. And we loved it, too, because we got to see lots of Daddy! The boys played while Daddy snow-blowed, and then Jeremy took them around the yard a few times in the sled. Tanner is getting very creative with his imaginary drum sets. One day, he used the remote controls for percussion instruments. We went to the Minneapolis Zoo on one of Jeremy's days off! (Thanks, Uncle Steve and Aunt Katie for the giftcard!) You might be wondering, "Why go to the zoo in the winter? Isn't it freezing there?" The answer is yes, it is actually colder than freezing. We wanted to go to the zoo because of the huge indoor tropic exhibit they have! Dallin and I enjoyed the toddler playroom.  Dallin kept finding the trickiest ways to climb on the exhibit. He didn't want to g...

Summer Begins!

Image
Summer is in the air! This post features photos from end of May to beginning of June 2021. Field Trip at the Rose Garden in Balboa Park. Homeschool project with Aunt Katie.  This lesson they explored dragon fruit and made really yummy parfaits. Final days of Bucket Drumming class, Music Mappers class, Family Music class, and private lessons.  Tanner worked for me and earned $10 each week as my teacher's assistant in Bucket Drumming class. After training him, he did really well. Also, I recorded students playing piano and singing for a virtual recital. I hired someone to edit and compile the videos and it turned out darling. However, it was very time consuming. Dallin reading to Tanner Silly snack Baseball Game with our friend from Little League Sailing in Mission Bay (maybe on Memorial Weekend?) with JoMatta.  Jeremy was really interested in taking us sailing. He watched a bunch of YouTube videos about sailing, rented us a sailboat and was the captain of the ship. We had ...
