TANNER MAN.....

THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR FIRST CLUE THAT HE WOULD BE SO FULL OF FUN!  WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BABY!!

.....AND HE HAD PLENTY OF PEOPLE AT HOME TO WELCOME HIM.  HE ALSO BECAME THE LITTLE MAN THAT MADE IT SO THE BOYS OUT NUMBERED THE GIRLS FOR A WHILE.  HE IS NOW VERY GIRL TRAPPED.

THIS IS THE WAY I PICTURE TANNER AS A TODDLER.  HE WAS A HAPPY BOY THAT WANTED TO GET OUTSIDE AND PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS!

HERE HE IS WITH HYRUM AND SPENCER GATHERING GRASS HOPPERS.....WHAT ELSE WOULD BOYS DO?

TANNER LOVES TO DRAW AND IS VERY CREATIVE.  I LOVE IT WHEN HE SENDS SPECIAL NOTES TO US.  WE ARE GETTING SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM SOON.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF TANNER BECAUSE I THINK IT SHOWS HIS HAPPINESS AND LOVE OF LIFE.  TANNER LOVES TO PLAY GAMES WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.  HE LOVES THAT HE IS NOT ONE OF THE "LITTLE ONES" ANYMORE.  

WE LOVE IT WHEN WE GET TO TALK TO HIM ON HIS WAY HOME FROM SOCCER...AND NOW BASKETBALL.  HE IS VERY DESCRIPTIVE ABOUT THE GAMES AND HE TRULY LOVES SPORTS.

HE NEVER SEEMS TO TIRE,  AND JUSTIN HAS SENT US MANY SORT VIDEO CLIPS THAT TRILL US.  HE IS REALLY FUN TO WATCH (AND WE APPRECIATE JUSTIN ALLOWING US TO WATCH).  WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT WE WILL GET TO SEE HIM PLAY BASKETBALL A WEEK FROM SATURDAY.  I THINK HE IS ALSO EXCITED THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH HIM PLAY.

TANNER IS VERY RESPECTFUL ABOUT SCRIPTURE STUDY WITH HIS FAMILY AND HE ESPECIALLY LOVES IT WHEN THEY GET TO ROLE PLAY.  WE LOVE WATCHING HIM ROLE PLAY....HE IS VERY GOOD AT IT.

HE IS A GOOD STUDENT.  HE COMES HOME AND QUICKLY GET'S HIS HOMEWORK DONE.

WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT WE WILL GET TO SEE HIM SOON AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE "LATE BIRTHDAY" CELEBRATION" WITH THEIR FAMILY FOR HIM.  NO WORDS CAN EVER DESCRIBE HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU "TANNER MAN".  WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK.....AND FOREVER AND EVER!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
