Happy 8th B-Day, Tana

Last Saturday we made a quick trip to Cokeville to see our niece, Tana, be baptized.  It's so hard to believe that she's 8.  Jordyn and Tana are just 3 months apart so before we know it we'll be celebrating Jordyn's 8th.  Anyway, Tana is adorable and is always saying the cutest things.  One of my favorite "Tana" stories happened just recently.  She lives next door to Grandma and Grandpa Teichert in Cokeville so naturally, she's become really close to them.  She spends a lot of time at their house and is apparently a silent observer.   Grandpa Teichert recently fell out in the garage and was knocked unconscious and Tana was the one to find him.  She was scared to death but remained calm enough to go and find Grandma.  After things had calmed down a bit she very seriously made Grandma Teichert promise that she would never, ever, yell at Grandpa again!:)  Grandpa struggles a bit in the hearing department so Grandma often raises her voice so Grandpa can hear her (at least that's the story we get:)  Just kidding, mom!!  Anyway, we're so proud of Tana and the decision she made to be baptized, this is just the first of many important steps you'll take in your life.

DJ and his dad having a visit!  Love both of these guys!! I'm not sure how I managed to flip to black and white but I kind of like it.

Matthew, Tim, and Trevor chillin' on the Grandma's deck (our families favorite hang out spot in the summer except for the constant fight with the mosquito's)

This is Grandma Teichert (this is possibly my favorite picture of her, ever!)  The expression on her face shows the shear joy she gets from watching her family.  The kids were all having races together, one of our favorite traditions in the Teichert family!  I love spending time with our family in Cokeville.  DJ's parents are amazing people and I'm blessed to be a part of their family.

Uncle Johnny and Kaleb--I think Kaleb might be attempting to bite Johnny in this picture.  Johnny wouldn't stop teasing him so Kaleb was just about to lose it, meaning he was about to either cry or pinch and bite.  If the truth be told, I'm glad he's not crying:) 

Ashlee and Leah- sweet picture! 

Ali and Janae (Ali is Ashlee's daughter and Janae belongs to Tim)

Tana and Jordyn--two adorably goofy cousins!
