Khloee's Birthday

We celebrated Khloee's birthday on Super Bowl Sunday. She thought all the food and people were just for her. Last year her Birthday was on the day Tanner was baptized so she is going to have great expectations in the years to come. Party's with lots of food and lots of family there "just for her"!

I had been looking for a little table and chairs that she could have tea party's on as well as color and play with her play dough. After looking and looking for something that was good quality as well as something within the budget, Kory came up with the great idea to make a little picnic table for her. It was PERFECT! I think I might love it as much as she does.

We would be a different family without this blue eye, blond hair little princess! She is my little shadow and her Dad, is putty in her hands!

Now to convince her she is not a boy and she doesn't take her shirt off like the boy's do.

lets hope this isn't still a problem by her next birthday.

(I love her little "outie" belly button)

Happy Birthday Khloee!!

Tanner turns 9

It is a weird feeling to think in your head that you still feel 21 but you know that you have a 9 year old now and so apparently you have to be aging as well. (crap, how does this happen.)


Tanner turned 9 on January 26th. The Sunday before his birthday we had a family party and we played a game of "How well do you know Tanner." Surprisingly, his dad was the winner. But his uncle Jeff and Aunt Val came in a close second.


We had a full house and it was a lot of fun to have everyone there for Tanner. My most favorite thing about Tanner right now is that he is so strong and he uses his strength so willingly to help and serve others. He loves to lift and move things that he know most kids his age wouldn't be able to. Every time I need some heavy labor around the house, he is more than willing to come to my aid.


For his birthday we decided to paint his room and redo it to fit his personality a little more. Thankfully, Misti and Kandice came to my aid and came and helped with the surprise redo.

What a great kid he is!!
