More Randomness

I love taking random pictures of Tanner growing up and just the funny little side of him that we get to see every night that a lot of people don't. Also, I don't want to forget a single thing about his childhood! Therefore, the worry wart in me makes me add info on this blog, and Facebook, and in a journal, and in photo albums, and on CDs (in the fireproof safe), and a lot of them are still on my camera! So, a lot of the things I add to this blog are partly for my friends and family to keep them updated, and partly because I found out I can have my blog turned into a book, so I would have yet another copy (and it's out there on the web in case my computer crashes!)!

Tanner playing outside in the sprinkler while Daddy waters the yard!

Sometimes Tanner seems like such a big boy, but every once in a while the baby in him comes back out, and I think it did in this pic! He just looks so little!

Here he's cold from playing in the sprinkler and then coming into our FREEZING house, so he's snuggling with Daddy!

Where to start?!

Oh, where to start?! Last weekend was so much fun and super crazy! We went up to the fair Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights and had a blast! Thursday we went up with the intentions of getting a funnel cake and coming home, but then we ran into Abby, Tim, and the girls and started riding some rides. Tanner rode a few rides with Cailyn and Josie and absolutely loved it!! Then Friday night we went up to ride some more rides and have supper and had a ton of fun watching Tanner enjoy the rides. Then Matthew and Bailey wanted to take Tanner, so Mike and I went to the beer garden for a little while and got to hang out with some friends. Then Saturday, we hadn't planned on going up again, but then Mike decided he wanted to go to see the car show, so we grabbed the dogs and walked up there again. It's always fun to go the fair and get to see some friends we don't get to see very often.

Next came Sunday, when Abby and I took the kids to the circus in St. Joe with Stephanie and her kids. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and it was totally worth my $10!!! Here are some pics from our weekend!

Mr. and Mrs. Davis

Saturday morning was Madison (Mike's younger brother) and Lindsey's wedding. Friday night we went to his Mom and Dad's for supper and then picked up the chairs for the wedding. Then Saturday, we went to Mozingo for the wedding, and it was the perfect day for it! It was a beautiful ceremony and Madison and Lindsey looked sooo much in love, which made it even more special and beautiful! Tanner was the Ring Bearer with the flower girl, Gracie. Both were pulled down the aisle by Lindsey's brother Tom and both did a great job!
Once everything was cleaned up, we were all wiped out, so Mike, Tanner, and I all went home, had lunch, and a nice nap. Then Tanner went to spend the afternoon with Mike's parents, so Mike and I cleaned the house, and got to hang out some in peace and quite! So, all in all, it was a great day!

Our Fur Babies update!

I haven't got to post about the boys lately, so here we go. Roscoe and Memphis are doing good! They really love the weather lately and getting to go for walks and play outside! They are doing good playing with Tanner, especially Memphis! Now Tanner knows them by their names and can say Roscoe, and gives them their treats when they go to their cages! Here's some pics I've taken of them lately.

Laughing so hard!

Too Cute!

Sydni and Lexi's Birthday Party!

Last Saturday we had a family Birthday party for Sydni and Lexi out at Mom and Dad's. They brought out a bounce house for the kids and even had a silly string fight that was tons of fun! It was a long, exhausting day, but it was totally worth it! All the kids had fun!

Getting a beer for Brian!

Henry Doorley Zoo

Mike and I are on shutdown right now, so it's been nice to have some extra time to do things! Friday I watched Abby's girls for a while and later Mike, Tanner, and I ran to St. Joe for some fireworks and supper. Saturday we went to my Mom and Dad's for the day to all hang out and shoot fireworks! Then Sunday we slept in and just hung out around the house. Monday we went to the Zoo (see below) and today we are just doing some errands. We don't have a lot planned, but I do know I want to clean out a couple closets, Tanner and I are going to KC on Friday for lunch with friends, and Saturday is my twin nieces birthday party, so I'll stay busy enough!

Monday, Mike, Tanner, and I went to the Henry Doorley Zoo in Omaha. We had a pretty good time, but Tanner eventually got tired, so we went home before we got to see it all. Here are some pics from our day!

Tanner laughing at the turtles!

I tried to get a picture, but all Tanner wanted to do was get down and walk!

Look Mama!

This is a little monkey that I guess just gets to run around all the time, and he has a little sidekick too! We saw them a couple times and they're pretty cute! But the second time we saw them, Tanner had been eating some grapes, and still had one in his tray on his stroller. This little monkey came over and jumped on the sign and was looking at Tanner and we couldn't really figure out why, when all of a sudden he jumped onto Tanner's stroller, and stole his grape! He was only on there for a second or two, but it was enough to scare Mike and I for a second! Then his little buddy came over and started staring at us, so I got out another grape, and threw it away from us, and he ran and got it, and ate it. Then the first one came back again, so we moved on before he could jump us again!
