Memorial Weekend 2006

I took this photo of Spencer because it was so funny to see him running all over the beach like a wild guy playing in the water and having a good time. I was thinking how wonderful it would be to be a kid again and just have to worry about where I was going to splash around again! I love playing with the boys because it brings a certain sense of that back to "big people" life!!! We had fun although it was so chilly up there by lake Michigan....Brrrrr!

Saturday May 27, 2006

Tom and I took a trip up north as most people in Michigan do sometime over the summer and we went to Mackinaw City. We were going to go to the island but first of all there were about a billion May flies all over and second of all it was raining on Sunday when we got up so we went to traverse city instead. Isaac really loves the beach and him and Spencer were just running all over like little wild men. It was so funny. They really had a good time. Oh happy Memorial Weekend!!!

Tanya and Thomas

This is a photo taken May 20, 2006 and it is on our official wedding day. We had 30 of our close friends and family attend a small wedding service at the Historic Holly Hotel. It was a wonderful evening. Tom has loved me for a long time and I never even knew it. We work together at the dental office and it took him nearly five years to tell me that he really loved me and he wanted to be with me. He was worried about what I would think and he is definitely old school when it comes to dating and women. We had a really perfect day after a little over a week of rain. My life is going so well and I love him so much!

Salisbury Cathedral-England

Tom and I went to England and this was really one of the most beautiful cathedrals that I have ever seen. It was restored well. I think that it is amazing that in the United States we would have plowed it down ten years ago to put up a Wal mart! England was so beautiful-I really liked it there. We were able to see so many wonderful things.

We get to scrub in---Finally!

This photo was taken of me and my good friend Ellie just before a surgery that we were going in on. Getting through nursing school is no easy job. We have been through a very stressful semester and we will be so glad when it is all over with and we can just sit and relax-I mean only work-not school and work-We will be graduating from the University of Michigan on December 17th, 2006! (and not a moment too soon!)

My Little Men

This is a photo of my wonderful boys playing in the closet looking ever so cute. I just love them and they were sitting in the closet just trying to have fun and while I was getting ready in the morning they kept caling me to look at them and when I did this is what they were doing...They are good to each other...most of the time.

Mama and Spencer

This is a photo of me and my wonderful boy Spencer! We were at a friends house and I was photographing his family and he wanted his photo taken with his mama. He has a cute smile and wonderful little dimple!!! I love my boys so much!

Isaac

This is a photo of my big boy Isaac. He is my encourager child. He is always telling me that I am the best mom a boy could have! He is so funny. He says stuff and I have no idea where he is getting it from. I love him so much and he is really doing well at school. We have been working with him on his numbers and he is really improved. I am so glad that I am able to stay home a few more days a week this year due to Tom helping out. Isaac loves playing board games during family game night. He is very competitive. He is a lover-always wants to hug me and say that he loves me. He is a great kid! He also takes really good care of Spencer by helping him to the "potty" and getting him a snack whenever he gets one!

Spencer

Here is a black and white of my little boy "Spence" as we nick named him. He is so wonderful and full of love. He is a gentle soul and he is very tender hearted! He is a super lover and is always waiting for Isaac to make the first move on everything before he makes his move. He sure loves his big brother! He has been going on the "potty" and it has been so good. Aunt Jame and Grandma give him money when he goes and he gets so excited! (They are going broke but he loves it). I can't ever get enough kissing on this little guy!

Adding a new member to our family

I am a proud anutie of Lillian Grace Furline! I am so happy to be her aunt. The boys are so excited about seeing her and knowing what is going on with her. She is a beautiful little girl. She had a rough delivery and she was in ICU for a bit and she got a little scratch on her face from the NG tube but she is the sweetest little baby and she has a ton of pink stuff! Jame and Mike are so happy to have her as well as the rest of the family...

My Man

Here is a photo of me and my very best friend-Tom. I love him so much and we have a really great relationship. This photo was taken at the Roman Baths in England-I really liked it there and thought that this was a very worthwhile site to visit. We had a great visit and got to see so many beautiful things. We have so much fun together and we are always laughing about something. I am sooo glad that I found him...eeerrr that he found me. He is a wonderful man and my life is very happy!

My Boys

Well here is a photo of my children at Christmas. I just love this fun shot of them as we were getting ready for Christmas day to come. I love that time of year. I get to play like a child with them and bake cookies and lick frosting with them. They are so much fun to be with. I love them sooooo much!
