This birthday post is a little late--sorry Tanya--but I still wanted to honor you for your birthday. Tanya was born on June 2 in New Zealand. She was a beautiful baby with big eyes and a sweet disposition. Thank you, Tanya, for adding so much to our family.

Isn't she a little doll?! As a little girl, Tanya always reminded me of the baby dolls you could buy that could talk and coo. Thanks, Tanya, for being such a delightful little girl.

When Tanya finally turned eight, it was a big time for her. She came to me and very seriously stated, " I know everything there is to know now and all I need is a set of keys." Thanks, Tanya, for always being so confident in your ability to succeed and then working for that success.

Tanya got an Arizona Republic paper route when she was twelve and delivered papers for six years. She saved up her money buying a little pickup to deliver papers with when she was old enough to drive. She was selected as the Arizona Carrier of the Year and earned a trip to Ireland as an American Young Ambassador. Thanks, Tanya, for your deligence in pursuing your goals.

Tanya was valedictorian of her high school graduating class and chose to attend BYU to further her education. She graduated with a Bachelors in Elementary Education from NAU. She then earned two Masters Degrees, the latest in Library Science from the University of Arizona. Thanks, Tanya, for striving for excellence throughout your school career.

Tanya's son, Christian, is the love of her life. They are such good companions. Thanks, Tanya, for giving us that grandson.

Tanya is one of the most giving people I know. Her family is very important to her and it is not unusual for her to drop off a bouquet of flowers at your home; or select movies, video games or books just so her nephews and nieces can enjoy them. She is known for her "crazyness" in a good way--she delights in laughing and having fun. She makes other people feel better just being in her presence. Thanks, Tanya, for being our friend as well as a cherished daughter.

Thanks Mom! It's always nice to hear good things about yourself.
Love that first picture of you and Tanya. She does have big eyes! I'm glad she is my sister, she does have a way of cheering me up.
