Copier

I am copying one of my best friends on her blog with....What has Tanner been up to lately?

Well, let me tell you. This boy is so fun....and tiring might I add. He loves

1. To eat bananas, sandwiches, any bites right off the food like a "big boy".

2. Use his fork and then clap for himself.

3. Dance to Funky Town or Elmo's Chicken Dance, when I say dance I mean flap his arms.

4. Run, Anywhere. No more walking. Oh and climbing on everything.

5. Be outside, at all times if I let him. Get in and out of his wagon and car...over and over again.

6. Drink Mommy or Daddy's drink, or anyone besides his, and use a straw or right from the cup.

7. Play with boys, do boy things, get dirty, oh and play with boys.

8. Oh and Tanner loves his Mommy and Daddy, and for this I am so grateful. Nothing is
better than at the end of a day of work him running up to you with his arms up, smiling. I
know he will not always do this and want me this much, but I savor this time.

Words from another....

If you know me, which by reading this you probably do...I love quotes. I love reading other people's words and how they remind me of my life, or they say it better than I can. I have quote books, of quotes that I have collected since before high school. Reading through them reminds me of previous times in my life, and from reading them, I remember how I felt back then, and why I loved that quote. I love having quotes on the walls in my home, I have to limit myself though, because I could tend to go a little crazy. The quotes make me stop and thank God and take a moment to pray. I love them. Here is a little quote that I will leave you with that I think is so pretty.

I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest joys in life may appear bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Tanner and Kamryn, might as well call them the 2 amigos...this is them restrained in seats, otherwise you can't get a picture of them!

Tanner LOVES corn on the cob, he was eating it like those cartoon characters that eat it like a typewriter...I hope you know what I am talking about!

What Mom, do I have it all over my face?!?!

Still eating....

and some more.....

Til next time, God bless your days.

The ending of summer...and funnies....

I cannot believe it is Labor Day...where has the summer went to? Well some funny things have been happening lately with Tanner D...aka Tanner the Destroyer. Today in a matter of an hour he, picked up and dumped all over the floor Cooper's water bowl, climbed on the fireplace standing up then cried to get down, climbed on the bottom of the window to reach the blinds I had pulled up, leaned how to open the dishwasher, and learned how to open the baby gate at the top of the stairs! What a morning!!

Some other funnies....the other day at my Aunt and Uncle's house he had a blow-out diaper so he was running around in just a diaper, that is....until he learned to take his diaper off and run away from me, multiple times!

Now when we pick up our cell phone, he puts his hand to his ear and starts talking away, just like us!

Several meals lately, when he is finished he will open his mouth and let the chewed up food just fall out of his mouth everywhere...and don't worry, he does this with liquid too!

Do you think he is 100% boy, or what? Tanner playing in the fountain in NKC...

God Bless...
