The Tanner & Violet Channel: Birthday Fun!

Things that Tanner says

June 2014

Tanner was moving something and he held up his arms to show his muscles and said "I am stronger than I look."

September 20, 2013

Tanner found this little box of Altoid Chewing gum and told me " You only lick them, don't swallow it, then when you are done put it back. "

Now I know why they are all sticky.

At 6 am this morning Tanner started talking about his Uncle James' rock crawler and then said "It's hard to drive with the wheel broken. James fix it."

While driving on the road today Tanner saw a yellow car and said, "Look mom, Bumblebee."

Tanner asked me if he could watch something. Then he said "Yes, we can." (From Bob the Builder)

May 1, 2013:

I told Tanner not to play with the printer/fax machine. He really likes playing with the phone that is attached to it. He came over to me and told me to plug my ears. He thought that if I had my ears plugged I wouldn't be able to hear him play with the machine.

April 21, 2013:

I was sitting on the floor in the living room and Tanner got a stool and set it next to me and looked me in the eye and said,"How are you doing Mommy?" Then he said, "You can lay on my arm." And put my head on it. He's so caring.

Also he said "Don't you change the TV channel."

February 20, 2013:

Tonight while trying to get Tanner to bed he was looking at something on the wall and said "Big like Dad's belly". We weren't sure what he was pointing at.

February 5 2013:

While trying to get Tanner to take a nap he was looking at the ceiling in the bedroom and said "Mommy a hippo! Aligator! Giraffe. " I asked him what they were doing and he said "Fighting."

January 12, 2013:

Dan just asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. Tanner said "Yes, Mickey Mouse."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

January 12, 2013:

Tanner really likes Mickey Mouse Club house and while we were visiting my cousin Hillary the other day he started singing "Hot Dog Hot diggity Dog" during lunch.

And yesterday when we went shopping he got out of the car and said "Oh Toodles."

And then at Kohls he started singing "Jesus Sunbeam" over and over. He doesn't quite know all the words but he makes some sounds inbetween Jesus and Sunbeam because he knows they are there.

He loves singing.

January 2, 2013 :

Tanner and I were standing in line to fix our Comcast issue and there was a lady in front of us who had on some sort of furry coat thing. Tanner touched the collar and said "Dog, Woof Woof."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

November 16 2012 :

A conversation with Tanner:

Tanner: Broke

Mom: What is broke?

Tanner: This (pointing to his bum)

Mom: Your bum is broken?

Tanner: Yes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October 3 2012:

Tanner's favorite words that he says all day long: Truck, Happy, Yuck, Grandpa, Dada, and Mama.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August 31, 2012:

Tanner just loves his dad and today was no different. Tanner was just so fussy today and I asked him what he needed and he said, " My Dad." It's so cute and it's one of his first sentences.

Birthday Fun!

This last week was a fun filled Birthday extravaganza! We celebrated my little brother Logan's 11th birthday, Emy's 31st birthday and Meg's 23rd birthday.

Happy Birthday Logan!

March 2nd

For Logan's birthday we had a family dinner of Chicken nuggets and Ramen Noodles and a yellow cake that looked like a gold brick. He's so funny. He designed it himself. He had a lot of fun opening his presents. He got lots of Legos, and loved the Lego pirate shirt that Dan and I got him. He has also had a lot of fun playing with Marky, Milly and Princess Ada. What a fun birthday surprise to have them come and visit.

Here are some of Logan's favorite things to do:

* Play the computer
* Play Legos
* Stay up late to read books- lots of books
* Learn about all sorts of Science things and watch Nova
* Watch movies
* Play with his nieces and nephews
* Swimming
* Playing in the snow- digging tunnels

That's my little brother for you!

Happy Birthday Emy!

March 4th

We were really luck this year to celebrate with Emy. We didn't think she would be coming to visit so my mom already mailed her package so Emy won't get that present until after the 20th.

Dan and I gave her a Family home evening board with some magnets with her kids names on them. I thought it turned out cute.

We had a Mexican Luau. Missy and I decorated with Leis, and Tiki torches, and then realized that she wanted Tacos for dinner. Oh well. We had Key Lime pie for dessert and even forked it just to show Markus that we could. ;) He said that it isn't right to just stick a fork in a cake and eat it- we're suppose to slice us a piece. I think cake tastes better when it's fork.

Here are some of Emy's favorite things to do:

* Looking at fabric websites
* Coming to visit family in Utah
* Sewing cute clothes for the girls
* Going to Book club
* Reading great books
* Blogging and making scrapbooks on the computer
* Playing with the kids
* Going on Dates with Markus when they can

Happy Birthday Meg!

March 6th

For Meg's birthday Emy made the cutest flower placemats to decorate. We had our family dinner that Emy made- Chicken Cordon Blue and potatoes and brussel sprouts, and of course some yummy German Chocolate Cake. It's so good. We played some games and laughed as we made fun of each other. ;)

Here are some of Meg's favorite things to do:

* Play games with family
* Going on vacations
* Shopping
* Being with Ben and the kids
* Reading Twilight - as you can see from the picture
* Watching movies

And here is us forking Logan's Cake- Boy was it good.
