21 inches

Such a cute little baby!

Long story short... in labor all night, Dr. appt early morning,

sent me straight to the hospital, epidural didn't work, got really sick,

baby wasn't getting oxygen, baby born, such a cutie, enjoying the moment, 

baby turned blue, nurse took baby away, next thing I knew baby was in intensive care.

Tanner spent the next three days in a oxygen tent, with tubes up his nose, 

needles in his hand, then, foot, then finally in his head, where he couldn't pull it out!

Tanner with his big brother Brandon.

Blessing day July 7 1985

The day Tanner got the nickname Trapper!

(Grandpa forgot his name, & when he was blessing the food

he said... we are so thankful for Trapper John, ha ha so funny!)

Also, this was the day Brandon's wife Robyn was born.

(little did Brandon know his future wife was on her way, when

this photo was taken.) 

3 months old

First Christmas

 One year old

Tanner loved to make messes!

This is one of his favorites, emptying all of the

shampoo & conditioner over everything, and rubbing it all around.

This one is at least cleaner than his favorite mess, which was,

playing with the ashes in the fireplace!

Second Christmas. Look at that face!

This is where Tanners loving pop started.

On a hot summer day in Saint George!

I promise its NOT a Dr. Pepper!

Cheese

 Ho Ho Ho

Tanner loves Christmas. He likes to open his presents really slow,

to make them last a really long time.

Love the acid washed jeans.

Tanner wanted to be a Care Bear when he grew up.

3rd Christmas

Trying to get a picture for Christmas cards, 

Tanner wouldn't hold still. He loved fires.

( He is excited for those ashes to burn down so he can make a mess!)

5 years old

Halloween Tanners favorite holiday. NOT! For some strange reason, 

Tanner has never really liked Halloween. When he was little never liked to dress up,

& when he did, he wouldn't put the on the full costume.

(notice the care bear costume, no head piece, & I had to give him 

the sucker just to get him to put it on!)

A bunch of crazies!  

Tanner & Brandon sporting their M C Hammer pants!

(you gotta love the 90's)

Swimming in Saint George, awwww such good memories!

Playing in the snow with Amy & Austin.

Cliff jumping in Lake Powell.

Tube wars at Lake Powell.

Surfing in Hawaii!

So many good memories, Tanner it has been a life full of fun.

You make our family so much sweeter!

I wish we could go back and do it all again, I would savor every moment!

Happy Birthday, I Love you more than you know!

Love you forever, MOM : D

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Have you ever met one of those people that just seem to have their act together. They’re always smiling; they’re well like by everyone that meets them. In fact, when you're there friend, it’s usually for life. They seem to be able to do everything, and everything they decide to do is not just 100%, but 200 %. They seem to be oozing with talents and abilities. Besides that, they’re very practical and rarely ever complain, at least out loud.

To top it off they look amazing. In fact, the older they get, the better they look.  How can that be?

You can't look at a person like this without feeling  admiration for the kind of person they are. Even when they are in pain and not feeling well, you rarely see it in the expression of their face.

They are one of those people that are fun to observe, especially when they are in their zone. Their ability to stay focused, and actually create what they think about is really quite amazing.

How would you like to have the privilege of being married to a person like this? Well, I am. On May 21^st it will be 29 years of life full of glitter. When I say glitter, I really mean it. It usually shows up on face or clothing on a daily basis. That what happens when you are married to a cute consultant.

Live hasn't been easy. We have had our share of struggles and ups and downs of life. That's how it's suppose to be, but it has always been wonderful.

Linda, I want you to know how much I love you. I cherish our life together, wherever the journey takes us. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for the blessing of having you in my life. Because of you becoming a mother, I became a father and grandpa, and you became the sexiest grandma I know.

Thank you for making me a better person than I could have ever been able to become without you. To me that’s priceless.

Happy Mother Day to the best wife and mother to our children a man could ever have.

Love forever,

Dave

Mom,

            Happy mothers day!!! I hope you have the best mothers day ever! Thank you so much for everything you have ever done! I know how stressed you get when I am always bugging you about dance stuff and that but I’m sorry. Thanks for always being there when I needed you and always bringing my things that I left to school and checking me out to eat something when I didn’t pack a lunch. What would I do if you couldn’t come get me? Thanks for driving me to dance almost every day and also to all the competitions and conventions, but most of all thanks for being the greatest mom anyone could ask for! I love you so so so so much!! Love,

                                                        Amy May Yam
