Happy Birthday Tanner & Taylor!


15 years ago our lives were blessed times two. Tanner and Taylor entered the world 11 weeks early and only 3 pounds each. Each of them was a fighter and very determined. These same characteristics are with them today.

15 is a "unique" age. They both are starting to stretch their wings and have some independence but at the same time are comforted in knowing there are guidlines and expectations for them.

Tanner & Taylor have always been the best of friends. Rarely did you ever see one without the other. As they first started school, they became their own person, each with their own personality, interests and friends, but the bond between them has never faded. They disagree with one another, they encourage each other and they certainly love one another. "I've got your back" certainly is reflective of their relationship.

Being a twin doesn't come without its frustrations. They will both tell of the questions they dislike the most. Here are a few:
*Are you a twin? (while standing right next to each other)
*Which one are you?
*Where is your brother?

But there are some perks that come along with it as well:
*There is always someone to talk to (even late into the night)
*Although people may not remember "which one" you are, they always remember you.
*It's a great conversation starter :).

So..........Happy 15th Birthday Tanner & Taylor!

Trail to Eagle

Tanner and Taylor have been working hard and are ready to start work on their Eagle Projects. We have a great scout troop and some very dedicated leaders that have helped these guys along. The trail to eagle will be a challenge but one we know they will be able to do. Riley is coming up in the ranks as well. He received his 2nd class advancement and is working on several merit badges. Zach is getting ready to finish his wolf rank in Cub Scouts and really loves the program. Someday.....we hope to have four Eagle Scouts.

Football is in the Air!

Tanner is playing freshman football for Whitney High School. He is the starting left cornerback. Although tired, bruised and battered he is enjoying every minute of it. Said tonight at the dinner table "I love football, I just wish I didn't have the school part". This came as he headed up to do his homework. Tanner and Taylor have a heavy load of classes this year and they both are doing very well. With early morning seminary starting their day at 5:40 each morning and going to bed later than we do on many nights, they are handling it with ease. By Friday they are beat but it doesn't seem to stop them from heading out with their friends.....Here are some football photos to enjoy. Tanner is #21.
