Star Mule Days

Ben had to fly to California this weekend to pick up a truck, so I decided to take the kids to Star Mule Days. In true Star style, the family events inclued a parade, a carnival, a tracter pull, and even a pie baking contest.

Jake loved the real army tank in the parade...

However, Jake and Brinley both loved the floats that threw out candy the very best!

I let Jake pick out a couple of games at the carnival to play. He won this goldfish by throwing a ping pong ball into little jars with teeny tiny openings. I couldn't believe he did it, but he did. Look how proud he is of his prize!

Memorial Day at the Boise Zoo

We decided to take the kids to the zoo this year for Memorial Day.

Jake's favorite animal this time was the zebra, and Brinley's was the tiger. She kept saying oooh...tiger!

Despite all of the cool animals, the slides were the biggest hit of this trip!

Brian and Lisa's Wedding

Brian and Lisa seal the deal in St. George, Utah...YEAH!!!

Check out that kiss!!!!!

Finally a great family picture...Hooray!!!!

Fun in the grass waiting for Brian and Lisa to come out

Who's belly is the biggest? Sorry, Emi...I think I win :)

Check out this great-looking family! Stay tuned for three new grandkids coming this year.

Never a dull moment...does anybody know whose purse that is?

Look at that beautiful candy table. It sure isn't going to last very long with these guys around!

Wow...getting everyone in this family all married off is hard work!

Driving down to St. George

On the way down to our second wedding of the month, we caravaned with family and stopped to see some fun sites: Historical Cove Fort and Zion's National Park.

Historic Cove Fort

The kids had a great time running on the lawn and looking out the gun holes. This was a great place to stop and have lunch on a very long drive.

Zions National Park

Jake and Eliza scale the wall...don't fall!!

Brinley only wanted Grandma the whole way up and the whole way down!

All of these cute kids are great hikers!

Catching this lizard was definately the focus and highlight of our hike...especially for Maddy :)

After a great hike, everyone was very excited for dinner at In and Out Burger and to head to the hotel to get cleaned up for the wedding. Hooray...Brian and Lisa are getting married tomorrow!!

Matt and Sarah's Wedding

May was a busy month for the Tanner family. We had two big weddings and lots of fun between the two of them. Sarah and Matt tied the knot in Boise on May 2nd, then had a very nice reception in Diane's backyard on the 3rd. The weather was perfect, and the kids looked great. Here are some pics.

Goofy kids waiting for the couple outside the Boise Temple!

We tried to get all the grandkids to pose for a nice picture to give to Grandma for Mother's Day. It was very difficult to get them all happy at the same time. This is as close as we got. Nice socks James :)

Happy or not...we can see all your wonderful faces :)
