Our Firstborn!

Tanner John Lambert was born May 23, 1996 after an 18 hour labor and eventually a c-section. We were thrilled! My pregnancy was however, horrible! Toward the end I developed a "pregnancy rash." I wanted to die! My legs looked like I had been burned in a fire. My OB casually commented that this was the worst "prego rash" he'd ever seen. (I almost killed him!) Luckily birth is the cure...and we loved our little guy instantly. He looked like his father's twin for sure. Tanner wasn't the easiest newborn...lots of tummy aches , spit up and nights walking the floor. But, the payoff came when he was 5 months old and started sleeping through the night. Oh how he loved his bed! At bedtime he would just DIVE in! (He still does!:))I think with a few exceptions he's slept through the night ever since!

Our life revolved around this little boy for almost two years! I was able to stop working when he was 8 months old and stay home with him full time. He kept me busy...it was a joy!

Let's start at the very beginning...

The night we got engaged!
Oh my hair!

Our wedding day...a sunny and warm February day.

The beginning...a very good place to start. Red and I met in the Spring of 1992. He was just about to graduate from the U of U and I was working and going to the Community College. My friend Cami and I decided we would check out a new singles ward. I think it was the Canyon Springs 9Th ward?? We met a great group of people and quickly became friends. I have very fond memories of this time in my life! Red and his friend Brandon had jet skis and we were on them every chance we got. If it was even close to warm we were on a lake somewhere. As time went by I started to realize what a wonderful person Red was and that he possessed many of the qualities I wanted in a husband. Eventually we began dating...and the rest is ancient history! We got engaged the Fall of 1993, and married on February 3, 1994. I know people say this all the time, but I really don't know where the time has gone! It does not feel like it has been 15 years at all! So, here's to another 15++++ years baby! I'm posting our wedding invite and a few pictures for your pleasure and enjoyment. They were scanned from my burgundy and forest green wedding album where I carefully and PERMANENTLY adhered them. Can you believe I would have chosen sleeves that puffy when I already have such broad shoulders!?

Seeing if I can post a picture!
