Happy 7th Birthday Tanner!


Tanner just turned 7, we can remember this as the most missing teeth year. For his birthday he wanted Zoobooks, and some games. For a cake he said he wanted a store bought carrot cake. Todd is a huge homemade cake for your birthday guy and thought that was crazy for him to want store bought. But hey, it is his birthday and he can have his cake and eat it to . So needless to say easiest birthday cake I've never made. He got all his candles out in one blow.
We are so proud of Tanner he has really grown up this past year. He is a sweet boy always wanting to be positive and have fun. Last night I made waffles for dinner and when I handed him his plate he said "mom, you are the best mom I ever had." When he first started school he had a tough time sitting down to do homework. So I would promise him waffles the next morning if he would sit down and do his homework without a fuss, pretty soon thankfully we got into a good routine, and thankfully now he does his homework without the waffle promise. If he's had a bad day I just have to make waffles and the world is set right. Oh - if life could always be this easy!

Happy late birthday little buddy. I know I put this every year but he has not beat it yet. Best memory of Tanner...He has a nerf bat in his hands standing in Grandmas kitchen and little Tanner says something very deeply and quietly. I respond with what did you say. He responded back again very deep low voice "I'm gonna kill you" I just could not stop laughing. Hands down the funniest thing I have heard him do. Love you buddy!

Happy Birthday Tanner! I can't believe how big he's getting. I remember when he was a baby and he fit into a Christmas Stocking! He's just growing up too fast! Happy Birthday!
