Chloe's Birthday Party

Tanner's friend, Chloe, turned 3 in November and we had a great time at her party. The party was at our friends Christel and Ross's house, and the decorations were awesome! Christel did a "Brown Bear" theme and there were animals from the book all over. There were live goldfish on the tables and the kids did a craft project where they created pages that looked like they belonged in the book. Tanner's other friend, Addison, had her 1st birthday party on the same day but I left my camera in the car by accident so I don't have any pictures from it. That day was the day that Haley and Jason had to go to their birth class at the hospital so we had Sofia with us too. We had a great time and Tanner and Sofi had fun spending the day together.


Tanner loves hitting pinatas! She talks about it for days after the party is over!

I liked this picture of Channing coming down the slide.

Playing with play-doh

Tanner loves playing with play-doh these days. I snapped a few pictures of her making a "castle". It is so interesting to me to watch her imagination work. A castle is a pretty normal thing to want to make out of play-doh, but the fact that she thinks of these things on her own is so amazing to me! It seems like yesterday that she was a tiny baby and now she is a kid that does so many things for herself and uses her imagination so much!


Sometimes I think her tongue does all of the concentrating for her!

The finished product.....her castle!

Random Pictures

Here are a few recent pictures that I have taken of Tanner.


She loves to wear sunglasses....mine, hers, or anyone else's!
I love her smile in this picture
She loves to listen to my iPod. I always let her listen on the way home from the gym.


Like all kids, Tanner loves to play in boxes!


She was being Abby Caddabby from Sesame Street. She walks around with her wand and says "leather feather leather feather time change weather!" Abby's version is a little different, but it cracks me up!
Tanner loves hoodies. Whenever she wears one she always wants the "hat" on. This particular one has its own name. She calls it her "pizza jacket", I guess because it looks like a pepperoni pizza. Crazy imagination!

Different day, different hoodie...

Logan's 1st Birthday Party

The day after Rob and Jenn's shower, we went to Logan's 1st birthday party at Fallon and Brandon's house. He had a rubber ducky theme and everything was soooo cute!!! He got a lot of really good toys and he had a good time playing with his cousins. Tanner had a great time with all of the rubber duckies. There was a floating ducky game where you pick a duck and you got a surprise that corresponded to the number that was written on the bottom of the ducky. Tanner had a BLAST with this game! She kept picking rubber duckies!



Sofia looked so cute!
