Tanner loves the water!
Damon was working at one of the many festivals that go on at Tempe Town Lake so Tanner and I thought we would go visit him. They had a bunch of bounce houses and Tanner was able to get one all to himself. He loved it!
Happy Birthday Grandpa Bill!
Damon is such a wonderful dad, I'm so thankful for him.
Goodnight Moon is one of Tanner's favorite books, especially when his Dad is the one reading it to him. He is a huge Daddy's boy!

Easter party at Holly and Jon's.
Tanner was pretty excited that he found and egg.
Grandma Kristen sent Tanner an Easter package. He had a lot of fun opening it and seeing what was inside. Thanks Grandma for all the wonderful stuff!!

August
Gracen out grew her powerwheels Jeep so they gave it to Tanner. He loves driving it all over the backyard. My friends little boy James came over to play, and they both had so much fun riding around in it together.
Home Depot Workshop
Damon, Tanner and I met Brie and her boys at Home Depot for the saturday workshop they have the first Saturday of every month. Tanner had so much fun building his coaster holder and hanging out with his cousins.
Playing with PlayDoh
I just thought this picture was too cute!
September
Dinner Date with Dad
Damon had some time between his regular shift and the overtime shift he was going to working that night so Tanner and I met up with him for dinner. We were right by one of the Tempe Fire Dept. so Damon took Tanner to see the firetrucks. Tanner had so much fun getting to climb on and sit in them.
Tanner Turns Two!!
I can't believe you're already two years old! Time has gone by so fast and you're getting bigger everyday. You are a huge Daddy's boy but love you Mom just as much. You are so full of energy and are always smiling. You can be stuburn just like your mom so I guess I can't complain because I'm sure you get it from me. You love reading books at bedtime and playing outside all day. You think bath time is a must every night, it's one of your favorites, you love the water! You have learned and grown so much this year and have also helped me to learn and grow. I am so thankful for you every single day. You make my days brighter and more complete. I love you!
Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!
Dad's Big Helper

November
Tanner loves going on bike rides!
Thanks Aunt Brie for the awesome train set!
This is one of Tanner's favorites!
Preschool Bike Race
The highschool that Damon works at has a preschool in it and they were having a bike race with all of the little kids that go there. So we put Tanner's tricycle in the car and met Damon at the school. Tanner had a lot of fun even though he came in dead last. He still hasn't figured out the whole peddling thing yet so he got some help from Dad.
This is the only pic I got from the week of Thanksgiving. I wish I would have got more but I haven't been very good with that kind of stuff lately. This was at the Christmas party at Patty and Dave's house. Tanner loved karaoke!
We went to church and when we got home I knew Tanner was tired but he insisted on a snack before laying down. So I got him some cereal to snack on, went and changed out of my church clothes and when I came back to the kitchen this is what I found. Sunday's can be rough when church is right in the middle of naptime.
December
At Bass Pro Shops waiting to get a picture with Santa.
We went up to Flagstaff for my sister's graduation. There was a lot of snow and Tanner had a lot of fun throwing snowballs at us!
Christmas Morning
Tanner was pretty excited Christmas moring when he woke up and saw that there was a bike by the tree. Along with a ton of presents for him.
That afternoon we drove up to Happy Jack and had Christmas dinner at Grandma Kristen and Grandpa Jacks house. We had a lot of fun visiting with family and Tanner had fun getting to open more presents and play in the snow!
Damon was able to take the week after Christmas off so we thought we would try and take Tanner to his first movie. We went to the dollar theatre and saw Puss in Boots. Tanner did okay but I'm glad we didn't try and take him to a full price movie because he just wanted to get up and play the video games in the lobby. We'll have to try it again when he's a little older.
January
Happy 33rd Birthday Damon!!
Tanner and I love you so much and are so thankful for you!
February
Another Home Depot workshop
We stopped at Tempe Marketplace to get some frozen yogurt and Tanner got a chance to play in the water when we were all done. He had so much fun! He wasn't to sure about it at first but then we couldn't get him to leave. He was soaking we by the time we left so he had to ride home in his bare bum!



























I love the coke and did Tanner break the easter eggs like Bodin did when he was that age.
ReplyDeleteHa, I did not know Kinna commented. He is looking so big! We can't wait to come and play with ya'll. It is getting closer! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, no but he probably would have if Damon wasn't right there with him the whole time. There was a couple times he tried to throw them.
ReplyDeleteI know I can't believe how much he has grown! Can't wait to see you guys!
I love all the pictures! I am so glad that you updated! I miss that little guy and of course you too, Rach. :) Love you guys!
