Happy Birthday Tanner!!

Happy 6Th Birthday to my little Tanner!!
He turned 6 on may 22ND and I have never had time to get a post for him. It is always hard to find time to do a party for him because his birthday falls on the last week of school and memorial weekend. So I had promised him a party this year no matter what. It turned out pretty good. I think he had a good Time.


Opening his presents.

I rented a bounce house. It was raining but the kids still had a blast in it.

Kindergarten Graduation

Last night was Tanner's Kindergarten Graduation. (Sorry some of the pics are blurry I was not taking them I was filming.) He was so excited. It was a cute little program. Short and sweet. I cant believe how old he is getting.He will be my little first grader.

Fun Updates

Stephanie had one of her birds die so she sent the other one home with me last Friday. The kids were so excited. But he was a little lonesome so we went to st. George Saturday to get him a friend and we picked this blue and white one. The kids have named the green one fluffy and the white one snowflake. Preslie loves them she sits and talks to them they are fun. I am going to try to train them so we can play with them. On Saturday I had bought them a bigger cage and was putting them into it and the green one's wings are not clipped he got away and done a few laps around my kitchen the kids were going crazy laughing and Ron was freaking out and I was standing there stunned. It eventually landed right next to it's cage and we grabbed it. It was quite funny.



Do you ever have those moments with your kids when is all you can do is laugh because they are acting so outrageous. Well tanner he is my calm one as far as fits go. He will cry and beg but hardly ever throws a tantrum. The other day he had a melt down all I could do was laugh. I grabbed the camera and snapped a few pics to show him what he looked like. Please view with caution!!




I hope yours occasionally has these episodes too!

Happy mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to the Greatest mother ever. I love you mom you are the best. And to all of you other mothers out there I hope you had a relaxing day.

Derrick's Graduation

Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the College Graduation of my brother Derrick. He received his diploma for a Masters of Accountancy!! He has worked very hard over the past several years to accomplish this feat. He is a wonderful father to five great kids he worked two and sometimes three jobs to take care of his family and pay for school. He stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning most nights studying for exams and completing assignments. This was not easy for him but he never really complained much he just did what he had to do. So Saturday as they called his name put his masters sash on and handed him his diploma I felt the tears welling up they were tears of pride for the hard work I knew it took for him to accomplish this. And for the great dad and person he his. I love you Derrick and am so very proud of You!!!! You will only have great things ahead of you.
