Happy 3rd Birthday Tanner!!!

Cicada

I had found a dead cicada at work and decided to bring him or her home to show the kids. They were fascinated by it's camouflage and loved holding it.

War Paint?

This is how Tanner came home from preschool the other day. We weren't quite sure if he was getting ready for battle or what.

Now That's a Big Chair!

I'm Gonna Throw You Away!

Mommy always tells Tanner she going to through him away when he being naughty so finally I did. He didn't seem to mind.

Elvis Lives!!

Tanner loved playing with the Elvis mask at Grandma Geri's garage sale.

Sometimes They Really Do Love Each Other

Tanner & Mommy Day at the Zoo

Jack of All Trades

Not only can he fix things around the house he likes to cook too!

Yeah, I know, I'm quite a catch!

Such a Lilttle Man

One of the tracks on our kitchen drawers broke and Tanner took charge of the situation to fix it.

Checking out the problem with his trusty flashlight.

Just need to hit it back into place.

 There, a few whacks of the hammer and it's fixed.

Cooking Eggs

The other night Tanner ran into the kitchen and quickly grabbed a pan and a lid. At first we didn't notice what he was up to since he's always up to something. Then we saw what he was doing. He was cooking eggs! He took one of his Easter eggs; a football one to be exact, and decided to cook it. Ha! He does love his eggs!

Would you like an egg?

Let's Decorate the Tree!

This year Tanner was all about helping with our Christmas tree. He made sure he helped Momma with the ornaments and even held the ladder for me when I was climbing down from the attic.

This is how Tanner puts on the lights.

Hanging one last ornament.

Santa!

Tanner was very excited to see Santa but he just wasn't too sure of him.

Happy Halloween!

Sleepy Head

Tanner did not want to wake up this morning. Apparently he was too snugly in Mommy's and Daddy's bed.

Now That's an Outfit

Shirley Temple Time

Tanner enjoyed his first ever Shirley Temple at Olive Garden the other night.

Hmmm.....not bad.

He looks like he's waiting patiently for his date to arrive.

Camouflage Day

Today at preschool it was camouflage day!

Drive Through Zoo

On Sunday we visited the drive through zoo in Gretna. It was a great day to be out and we saw lots of animals.

Fighting elk. We could even hear their antlers hitting.

Come on in the water's fine.

Tanner says, "this way to the eagles!"

Eagles straight ahead.

Found one.

Posing with Sissy.

Taking a rest near the bears.

Posing with Mommy and Sissy.

Relaxing with Daddy.

Weenie Roast

Watching the cows.

Trying to call the cows over.

I see a cow!! Wait cow!! Wait!!

There's one. Now if it would only come over to the fence.

Dinner time!

Yummy!

Eating dinner with Cousin Azlyn.

If there's a cooler Tanner will find it and sit near or on it all night.

Tanner doesn't mind that it's pitch dark outside. He wanted to play forever.

Occupied!

Hey, I'm in here!

I said I'm in here now shut that door!

Busy, Busy, Busy
