Happy BIrthday Tanner

Happy Birthday Images from Funtasticprofiles.com

I'm feeling just a little sad, my baby turned 4 today!
Where does the time go? Some days I wish I could freeze time.
It seems like just yesterday I was helping my mom get ready for Thanksgiving dinner when the contractions started (two weeks early) and I realized I was going to be Having my
Thanksgiving Dinner in the hospital.
It was so worth it.
I have so much to be Thankful for.
Tanner has been a blessing to our family. He has been the funniest little guy.
He is all boy which I love. he loves to play with his cars, he likes sports, he loves to wrestle with Sean, Matt & Caiden, and cuddle with me and Lindsey.

Here are 4 things I love about Tanner

1. He is a little sweetheart. He does this thing all the time where he climbs on our laps and snuggles his head into our shoulder, sometime he "meows" because he likes to pretend like he is a kitty

2. I think he's pretty darn cute and smart

3. He's fun to hang out with. He keeps me company everyday while the other kids are at school. I love "our" time together.

4. I love it when he cuddles with me.
Tanner I love you and hope you have a great day!

Jazz

I had one of the funnest nights ever... Caiden and I went up to meet all the Jazz players and get their autographs.
(Thanks Kevin for the passes) It was so fun and I thought all of the players were nice and friendly. I met Kyle Kover and I told him that my little nephew is named Korver after him and he seemed very pleased he smiled from ear to ear and said "Oh yeah!! Really?"... {giggle} We got to meet all of them except 3 (Okur, Price, and the new guy Koufos.) My favorites were D-Will, Korver and Boozer. They wouldn't allow pictures inside so I didn't get any pictures, but heres a picture of my autographed shirt.

After Caiden shook D-Will's hand he said he was
never going to wash his hand again...(hehe)

"Say NO to Drugs Week"

Each day they have something different for the kids to do, like backwards day
and wear something bright day, and their favorite crazy hair day. Coye, I like the pony tails. Aubrey, now that's some crazy hair.

Ok so Abbi's hair is not crazy it's adorable, but
her class had a field trip that day and
didn't participate in the crazy hair stuff.

Howl-O-ween

YEAH FALL!!! I am so glad it didn't go from summer straight to winter this year. The weather has been so nice, I love it. Halloween was not freezing for once. My kids didn't even put on a jacket to go trick o treating.

carving out memories

Sorry I'm still posting Halloween. I'm a bit behind on my posts.
Every year we carve pumpkins. We usually try and do it for family home evening the Monday before Halloween. It's so fun to have this traditions with my kids. It's fun to see them put their little imaginations to work! I love seeing how proud they are of their jack-o-lanterns when they are done.

Here's Lindsey pumpkin

Caiden's pumpkin says BYUTanner's finished product.
