This one is about the Tan-man

My name is Tanner and this is how I roll...

Tanner loved going down this waterslide my brothers built. He went down a few hundred times. Then he moved on to this...

Then he consummed not 1 but 2 orange creamies. Can't get better than that!
Lucky kid!

And the next day,
we went to
Nana's Rotary Party
We ate dinner at the zoo! It was really fun, Chiz's catered (yes Jeff, I said Chiz's) and it was delicious as always. So then since we were already in the zoo, we ran around and saw all the animals! It was fun to be there later in the day because all of the animals were out and running around. I don't know why the zoo's hours are only when they are sleeping. I don't get it! Anyway, we had fun!

Uncle Andy teaching Tanner thumbs up, and Tanner kind of getting it!

After dinner, we went and rode the rides, this is Tanner on the airplane ride at Tautphaus Park.Then he rode the train. He really wanted to sit in the front, but he was too slow at pushing his way up there. Oh well, maybe another day!

This ride was a mistake! Cory and I both took Tanner on the Octopus and just to say, the more weight in the seat, the faster you spin! I was sick for a few days after this one! I was afraid Tanner wouldn't ride anymore after that, but he was a trooper and went on a few more rides!

...So here is my little guy's own post and many more adventures!

A few pictures from some of our adventures...

This pictures illustrates Tanner and Morgan's (his only cousin) enthusiam about the fireworks. Needless to say, we left early. But earlier that day, we went over to Cory's aunt and uncle's house for a barbeque. It was fun because we only see most of them on the fourth. Tanner shot water balloons for probably an hour. I think this is where all the enthusiams went!

Tanner loves riding his bike, and dressing himself. Note the cowboy (Woody) boots and shorts. This kid was cursed with his mother's stubborn streak. He sings the ABC's as he goes. It is funny when he sings them, it goes something like A BC D E and G F huh huh huh W X Y N M O P I love it! Little kids are so cute!

We went to the air show several weeks ago with Cory's parents. We love grandma!

And finally, isn't Kate just beautiful in the morning? We haven't been able to get that tear duct to open up yet. It makes me think of baby kittens! Yuck! But a fun pirate show every morning!

Well, we are still out and about, so I will try to keep posting! I did better than last time! Oh, and a quick shout out to Ali and Brad- Hooray, they are having a girl in November! Kate is excited to have a cousin her age! And Tanner is just excited for another cousin!

So it has been a while... Sorry!!!

So nothing like a month and a half between blogs! Well, here are some pictures...

Cory's dad built Tanner a sand box and I have to say, the thing is HUGE! and Tanner loves it. He likes to plant like grandpa, so he picked leaves off the trees and planted them. It was funny, I love what little kids come up with!and I just put this picture up because I think it's cute.

Now on to Kate...

She layed here for about 20 minutes just looking out the window, I thought it was sweet, something Tanner would have never done as a baby! And dun, duh, dah! She rolled over a few weeks ago, she gets from her back to her stomache and won't roll from her stomache to her back, she just yells. Kinda funny, but this video was the second time she did it! The little milestones come so much quicker with the second than the first, maybe I just don't have as much time to obsess over them, but all the same, she did it!

Well, I hope you all have a great 4th of July, yes, we are already there! Holy smokes! Until next time!

The past few weeks...

Well for starters, someone is now potty trained!!!!!!

Can you say WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Very exciting! and someone else found something special.....

that is right, her thumb!!! Say it with me now, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You can take a binkie away, but those darn thumbs are hard to remove! It all started with her fingers and it was a slippery slope to the harder stuff. What can I say? an addiction is an addiction! She has been living with socks on her hands. Stylish right? Oh man.

Well, this week, we have been busy entertaining Tanner, we went and saw some friends that were in town, so fun to see them, Tanner and Macie are going to get married, Macie even told Marianne that they were going to the temple! Too cute.And we went through the car wash, always a hit with Tanner, but this time they didn't have colored soap, but he loved it all the same!

And today we went and fed the ducks, no pictures, sorry, I thought I had forgotten my camera, but I found it in my bag when I got home. In the words of Tanner, "Silly Mom". So other than that, we have been hitting up the park on the warm days and watching lots of movies and reading books on the not so warm days! Hope you are all having fun too!

Happy Easter!

Okay, so the day after, but all the same! I had a fun weekend! On Friday I got to hang out with Jennie and Randah! Hooray for best friends!!! We missed you Kristy! But that was super fun because I hadn't seen Randah in 2 1/2 years! Sad! So she has the pictures, sorry, none here, but it was fun all the same! And I should mention that Cory graduated while I was hanging out with my friends, but not to worry, I didn't skip the ceremony to see my friends, Cory was at work, so there really was no point in going, and so there are no pictures from that either! Wow, why do we have a camera? anyway, Saturday we went to the ward party and Tanner cleaned up in the Easter Egg hunt! Way to go kiddo! Again, no pictures! So sorry! But we went and had another Easter Egg hunt at my grandparent's house with my cousins kids and I do have pictures from that! Tanner loved having so boys to hang out with! He followed Kyler around everywhere! We also roasted hot dogs over a fire- always a fun thing- Tanner loved it and we all brought way too many eggs so these kids were almost bored before they were done! Better too many than not enough! But we missed you Morgan! We will see you in a few weeks!
So on to Sunday... after church, we went to Cory's parents and Preston took Tanner out to fly an old kite he had found. Tanner thought it was the funniest thing ever when it would nose dive and crash into the ground! And then we went to my parents house and had a little birthday party for Tanner. He got these monkey pajamas-can't see them- and a cute little alphabet book! (Spoiled kid!)So it was a busy but fun weekend full of family! Hope yours was great too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER!!!!

We love this kid! He keeps us on our toes and always has something to say! He was born on his due date, April 9, 2006. I was so happy to not go over! We have taken this kid everywhere and he has endured it! Rarely with a smile on his face, but we have survived! We love you Tanner! Happy Birthday!

This is Tanner's new trick I guess! I couldn't get him to not do it! Silly Kid!

Most Eligible Bachelor!

So I have a really cute brother- that never reads my blog so I hope I am safe- that has never had anything but crappy girlfriends! He is awesome and one of my favorite people, so if you know a cute girl (preferably funny, slightly sarcastic, not uptight, and also not a pushover) we should hook them up! He is 23 and attending BYU-I and studing Mechanical Engineering! so if you was to see him in action, go to http://www.hulseadventures.blogspot.com/ and check out the Sam's Summer!
