Tunnel!

Tanner got a tent and tunnel from Aiden and McKenna for Christmas....he had a lot of fun playing with it today! Even mommy and daddy went through the tunnel!

The Annual Santa Party

We had the annual Santa Party at our house this year! We loved having everyone here and the kids seemed to have lots of fun! Tanner was not really interested in Santa at all, even when Santa tried to entice him with M&M's!

Christmas with Aiden and McKenna

Tonight we celebrated Christmas with my family! The kids were all a lot of fun this year but both of the boys were mostly interested in the first present they opened! We also decorated a cake for Jesus to celebrate his birthday! And then of course we let the boys sample it too! Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful presents, we had a very fun night!

Santa!

Our community center had Santa and snow today! All of the kids got to visit with Santa and then he gave them all a present! Tanner wasn't too sure about Santa but he sure loved the truck that he gave him!

SNOW!!!!

Tanner got to play in the snow for the very first time today!! My parents community center had snow brought in! He did really well and didn't really think anything of the snow. He did have a little trouble walking in it but had a really fun time. I even took him sledding down the hill....and he loved that too! We had a great time!

Tanner's words

I captured Tanner saying a few of his words today....sorry Meme and Grandma, we will work on those next!

Rolling over and over!

Tanner learned how to roll like a log tonight and had so much fun doing it! He would roll over and over and then try and stand up and would be really dizzy! Of course when I finally grabbed the camera he didn't really want to do it anymore, but here is a small video of him rolling!

The mall play area

Tanner loves the mall play area! He loves to run all over, crawl through things and go down the slide! We have so much fun watching him but we have to be careful as he also tries to escape out of the whole place!

Using a spoon!

Last night I let Tanner eat his applesauce with a spoon all by himself! He did a really good job although it was all over him and we had to immediately get into the bath!

Lightening McQueen!

Tanner absolutely loves his new slippers from Elizabeth and Stephen! He makes me put them on his every morning when we get up and go eat breakfast! And if they happen to fall off we must put them back on right away!

Tanner's Baptism

We had Tanner's baptism this weekend and it was such a special day to have all of our family and friends with us. We can't thank Jen and Cory enough for flying out here! And Tanner is very lucky to have Aunt Jen as his Godmother and thank you so much for his beautiful cross! Tanner wasn't too happy when Pastor Garman poured the water on his head, he let us all know that he was upset about it!

Making Music!

Here is how Tanner was helping Mommy make dinner tonight! I gave him these measuring cups and they entertained him for a really long time! Also a little video to show off his walking skills! No more crawling for this little guy!

Our little M&M

Tanner was the cutest little M&M for Halloween! Thanks to Meme for the great costume! He did really well and caught on quickly how to trick or treat. A couple of times he would take a piece of candy out of the bowl and throw it back, and one time he decided that he wanted to take the whole bowl! We only went to about 10 houses but he had a really good time!

Hawaii!

Home from Hawaii! We had such a great trip to Hawaii and loved relaxing and spending time with family! This was Tanner's first time to actually play in the sand and he loved it! Mommy and daddy were a little freaked out by how messy he was but he had a blast! We drove up to see the sunrise from Haleakala, went on a helicopter ride, went to a luau, went snorkeling, took a few drives and just hung out and relaxed! What a great vacation!

Busy boy!

Tanner took a really short morning nap and I really needed to study and get my homework done. So I just let him play since he was being so good! But geez was it a lot of work to clean up after him! This is why stay at home moms are always so busy!
