Tanners Prom Pics and more....

Tanner and Shruthi running off to catch the group
The weather looks perfect but actually it was rather chilly!

Shruthi family comes from India and she is the first generation American.


Shwada, Tanner and Shruthi posing for pictures.

Tanner was only one of 4 boys in a group of 12. He loves being out numbered by girls!


Shruthi actually goes to another high school then Tanner.

Tanner asked Shruti to the prom by asking her in one of his news paper colums
(it was his moms idea!)

Don't I have a hansome young man?

Emma, Tanner and Scott....looking good!

Tanner looks strapping with his sister Emma


Hello everyone :) I am happy to sit down and do a little blogging today. I feel very happy today and I don't know why...probably because I have such a peaceful feeling because I know my life has a purpose and Heavenly Father loves me and knows me better then any of you out there reading this. He could even get 100% on my "do you know Krystine Greer" face book quiz which by the way Kylee didn't even get 50% on!!
Tanner had his last prom of his high school life!! Next time he puts a tux on he will probably be getting married!! What do you think of that Tanner?? We are almost to the end of the school year which I am very happy about! The kids are all looking forward to having a break and so am I. I think Tanner is very much looking forward to being finished with high school. I use to wonder if we did the right thing by bumping him forward a grade, I knew it would mean he would finish quicker but I think Tanner is ready to take on the world and leave this little place behind him. I hope he always remembers who brought him into this world and just how much he is loved by me!
Emma has had some restrictions placed on her and I can see she is trying harder to do her school work in order to earn them back...I know that her favorite time of year is summer because there is no school. Someday she will look back at this period of time and wonder...what in the world was I doing wasting all that time screwing around and not getting more serious about my school work!! She will deny it until her death but one day in her heart I know she will think that :) Maybe, just maybe she will be a mom and have to try to encourage her own daughter to turn in her assignments and graduate from high school! (I hope so!!!!)

Elle is doing great if she isn't on the phone talking to one of her friends she is on the computer IM them. She too is looking forward to this summer. She is working hard at reading horse books because she would like to buy a horse (this summer, she hopes) she has started babysitting for others outside of the family and I think she is going to be a favorite to be asked because she is so much fun!!

Scott and I are looking forward to many days on the golf course this summer. We probably won't be making a summer trip out to Utah this year because we are planning a great trip to Hawaii in the fall when Tanner goes to school. We are officially certified to be foster parents now and so I feel like I am pregnant and just waiting for the arrival of the blessed event!! I wish it would be that sweet :) We will probably be taking older kids and sibling groups. I really wanted to take younger kids but I was told they don't come up that often and that is the group everyone wants. So I am happy to take older kids I just hope it doesn't take forever.
I am really looking forward to having my mom and dad as well as Grandma Dee come out for Tanners graduation!! They should enjoy it much because it is soooo beautiful her now and not humid yet :) Well Heather just ordered me to get ready for my day so she could come over and hang with me for a bit!! You all should be getting to know her because I have decided to adopt her and her little boy Caiden (lol) Any way Heather and Caiden are very special to our family and I feel like maybe we were sisters in Heaven. I can't wait to blog next week!....

I do not think that is true. Many schools have balls, and there are plenty of formal events, dinners, and conferences that might require me dressing up.

You had at least 5 grammar/spelling errors that I saw over the one cursorary glance I gave to this post. I have given up trying to correct these things, but one was to painful not to set right- her name is not "Shwada." It is Shweta.

Tanner, wig your mom out and rent a tux just for the heck of it!

Also Tanner, when your mom is this happy she probably doesn't care about spelling. Sounds like she's got some euphoria going on that only happens in Disney princess movies where they sing and dance about everything! Is she singing and dancing around the house?

Yes, but not because of prom- she is just excitedthat nobody has gotten a 100% on her test. I swear there is not a ten minute conversation that she does not weedle her facebook quiz into somehow. It really does energize her quite a bit.

(And for the record- she actually says my poor friend's name aloud that way. This was not a slip is spelling but a slip in pronouncation, methinks.)

Great Tanner and Allison...I only write my blog to see what you two have to say about it in the first place! Thanks for all the laughs! And by the way I bet Allison would fail my quiz too! But we will never know because she is afraid of face book :P yes tanner I do think I am good at everything!! Maybe some day you will be like me...just about perfect ;P
