Happy Birthday Tanner

My baby boy is five, one more year until school thank goodness, not that he is not ready, because I think he is, but he misses the cut off by 12 days. I just don't think I am ready for him to grow up. He already surprises me so much by things he says and does, sometimes I think he thinks he is a teenager and man he sure can sass and backtalk like one as well. But it is his birthday and we will only talk about the good right. I know my child is not perfect, but man he is such a good kid. He is the best big brother in the world to his sister, she is one lucky girl to have him as a brother because he will always be their to protect her and take care of her. They are both at the same daycare now and they love it they have been their since the end of July and the teachers say Tanner still goes and checks on Brylee at least once a day. Tanner is a fun loving kid and is a Mommy's boy, I hope he stays that way. When Tanner has his mind set up it is set up and no stopping him in whatever he is determined to do. Like riding his bike, he wanted to take the training wheels off and he was ready and didn't want help and took off. He is a thinker, and sometimes you can just see in his face he is thinking deep. He got that from his Dad because I am not much of a deep thinker. Tanner is also a deep sleeper as well so he talks in his sleep and he does get that from me. One night I heard him crying and went in to check on him and he was sound asleep. I have heard him laugh in his sleep as well.

Well for Tanners Birthday we went with our good friends to Chuck E. Cheese's in Sandy, the Layton one opens tomorrow if it stays on schedule, missed it by a week, oh well. It was so much fun driving down with our good friends the Wards and the kids had a blast. Tanner got to see Chuck E and said after, "Mom I was only a little bit scared." I just had to put the picture of Brylee and Austins reactions to the scary mouse. What mean parents we are huh!! Because of my good friend Sarah's wedding on Tanners Birthday I went to the wedding, then we headed to Sandy for lunch then back up to Layton for the reception that night. We had a little family party the next day and I did my traditional birthday cake. He wanted a guitar since that is what he wanted for his birthday too. Too bad the guitar is late, I blamed it on UPS, you know if USPS would have delivered it, it would have been on time right!! ha ha. He had fun with his cousins at his party and we always love when family gets together. Thank you everyone for making his birthday special for him. I was making him clean up his room to get ready on Saturday morning and he said, "Mom I don't know why I have to clean my room, my cousins are just going to mess it up!" Then he had a few neighbor friends come over he started getting mad at them for getting the toys out because he didn't want to have to clean it up again, he decided to go play outside so they wouldn't mess up his room. He was right it was a disaster and only took a few minutes after his cousins came over and thinking about it, I think it still is, why clean it up when it is going to just get messed up again right!! What comes around goes around right, I am sure the same things happen when we go to family and they play. I do try to have him clean up when he goes to grandmas or somewhere, but sometimes ya just get in a rush. I remember when Tanner and Ridge were playing it was about a year or so ago and they were down stairs at our friends house and they were being so good and we were up stairs with the Brylee and Austin and able to talk as adults. Come to find out they were having a good time playing with all the games and christmas stuff and had taken them off the shelves and playng them all together and also playing like it was christmas too with her christmas decor. I think Amy said it took her two hours to go through the games and clean it up. I am sorry again about that Amy!! Well I will quit writting so much Jason says noone reads what I write anyway because I write too much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER-I LOVE YOU MY BUGGA BOO!!
