Christmas Eve With The Tammens

We started off our Christmas celebration with friends at our Church childrens mass. We had a wonderful holiday this year and anticipate our 2009 year to be amazing.

I am truly a very lucky mom. Addi continues to amaze and surprise me with her kindness and pure joy for life. Everyone should be as lucky as I am. Thanks Addi.

So that's where the cooking talent is in our family. Good job Layla.

Look at our amazing 13 year old. Addi is the greatest kid. It takes very little to make her truly excited. She got tickets to see the Cheetah Girls and a guitar for her birthday. There's a Rock Star in the house!

The New Specks

Look at them new specks! My sweet boy inherited bad eyes from mom and dad. Sorry bud. We've promised lasik as soon as he's old enough.

It's official she's in Jr. High

Well she made it. It's our Jr. High student. Addi started the 7th grade this year and loves every minute of it. Her friends, dance and lunch seem to be the best for her. Hope mom survives.

The big K

The Fifth Grader

Camden's first day of FIFTH grade. Yes, mom had to go half an hour early an make threats if I didnt get my picture but, I did.

Fisherman in Training

My little fisherman. This summer we had the chance to fish with several Bees players as well as many great fisherman from aroud the Salt Lake area. Since I'm the fisherperson in our family Camden is learning from the best. However, I was not with him on this trip and he did me pround anyway. Look at that big FISH.

Camping the Tammen Way

We took off for our annual camping trip. This year we choose Idaho. We camped in Lava Hot Springs. It was a beautiful site right next to the river in a quiet little town. That was until the train woke us every thirty minutes!

Happy New Year Everyone

It was a busy end of the year for us. Addi turned 11 on December 1st. Mid December my mom came to stay with the kids while Brad and I went to Florida for the Baseball Winter Meetings. While in Florida I had the chance to see my dear friend Kristi and spend a little time with her family at Disney World. Brad and I also did a day at Universal Studios where we ate at the famous Bubby Gump Restaurant. It was GREAT!

Of course Christmas was a blast yet very busy. Now its all over and off we go with 2007.

I hope your new year gets off to a great start.
Much Love

Christmas time in the Mountains

Ar' The Pirate Family we are. We had a great Halloween dressing up as the pirates in one of our favorite movies. Trick or treating was a blast even though it was in the 20's.

Beautiful Cousins

Our Amazing Family

On our trip back to Illinois it was great for the cousins to have time to play together and watch their amazing bond. (Tamar, Addi, Camden, Tevin & Layla)
