WE LIKE TO CALL HIM "TANNER MAN" BECAUSE HE IS THE YOUNGEST BUT HE ACTS OLDER LIKE HIS BROTHERS...SOMETIMES WE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING A SMILE....
SO WHEN WE DO GET A SMILE....WE ENJOY IT EVEN MORE. THESE 5 GUYS ARE DEFINITELY OHIO STATE FANS AND THEY LOVED THEIR TOUR OF THE STADIUM!
HYRUM GOT THIS TRUE SMILE AND IT'S A TREASURE. IN FACT IT MAKES ME SMILE!
TANNER WAS BAPTIZED DURING THE SHORT TIME THEY LIVED IN ARIZONA. THE CHURCH HE WAS BAPTIZED IN WAS RIGHT BY THE GILBERT TEMPLE.
NOW THERE'S ANOTHER TRUE SMILE...I THINK HE IS LAUGHING BECAUSE ELISE IS BLOCKING LYDIA'S FACE....FUNNY BOY.
WHEN HE PLAYS FOOTBALL...HE IS ALL BUSINESS....AND ALL GREAT! HE LOVES IT. WE LOVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY! HE IS REALLY FANTASTIC!
I THINK THEY ARE ALL HAPPIEST WHEN THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER...INCLUDING TANNER!
WE CAN USUALLY BRING A SMILE TO HIS FACE WHEN WE GO OUT TO EAT!
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND LOOKING VERY HANDSOME! HE DOES SO WELL IN SCHOOL!
24TH OF JULY PARADE.. HE'S HAPPY EVEN IF HE'S NOT SMILING.
HE WAS VERY HAPPY HERE WHEN HE NOT ONLY WON THE RACE BUT NO ONE ELSE WAS IN SIGHT WHEN HE FINISHED..
RECEIVING HIS FIRST PLACE MEDAL!
OUTSTANDING STUDENT AWARD!!!
THIS WAS AT THE END OF THE RACE AND HE WAS STILL GOING THAT HARD.
AT ALL! TANNER HAS HAD A LOT OF FUN AND NOT SO FUN EXPERIENCES THIS PAST YEAR BUT WE ARE ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE WAS HE DOES HIS DAILY SCRIPTURE STUDY, STAYS UP ON HIS SCHOOL WORK AND PUTS HIS WHOLE HEART INTO EVERYTHING HE DOES. HIS FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF FUN AND NOT SO FUN. HE HAD A COACH THAT DIDN'T ALWAYS PLAY HIM WHERE HE COULD CATCH THE BALL AND SIDE STEP HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE....BUT WHEN HE DID GET THE CHANCE.....HE USED IT AND LOVED IT.
HE RUNS HERE ON THE 24TH AND BROKE HIS SCHOOL RECORD FOR THE MILE ....BUT ISN'T SURE HE WANTS TO RUN. WHAT A FUNNY BOY. HE JUST CRUSES.
HE CAN SURE RUN WHEN WE ARE AT A CROSS COUNTRY MEET AND HE IS GETTING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. I THINK HE'S MOVING FASTER THAN A LOT OF THE RUNNERS.
I DO ADMIT THAT I NEVER HAVE FELT A RUNNER'S HIGH....SO I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THE WAY HE FEELS. I REALLY THINK HE IS HAPPIEST WHEN HE HAS ALL OF HIS FAMILY AROUND HIM AND I LOVE THAT. HE IS KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYONE AND THE OLDER BOYS ARE SO GOOD TO HIM. HE REALLY IDOLIZES THEM SO IT IS FUN FOR HIM TO BE SURROUNDED BY HIS FAMILY.......WHO ARE FRIENDS AND ROLE MODELS TO HIM. I WOULD SAY THAT HE IS VERY BLESSED!
HE LOVES TO WATCH AND TALK ABOUT SPORTS WITH HIS BROTHERS AND HIS UNDERSTANDING OF EVERYTHING NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME. IN FACT...HE NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME. HE IS SUCH A GREAT YOUNG MAN. I LOVE THAT HE HAS LEARNED THAT THE GOSPEL AND FAMILY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS AND HE ACTS ACCORDINGLY. WHAT MORE COULD WE EVER WANT. YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH AND WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AS WISE AS YOU ARE AT THE AGE OF 11. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT MANY KIDS....BUT YOU SURELY CAN ABOUT TANNER. WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU. WE ARE PROUD OF THE WISE CHOICES YOU MAKE AND WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER MAN! YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!
