My Birthday

This year for my birthday I thought it would be fun to take Tanner mini golfing. Dan had to work so we went with my mom and Logan. It was so much fun. 

 Tanner loved picking the balls up where ever they landed and dropping them in the hole. He also liked carrying around the golf clubs.

 I didn't actually hit very many balls. I spent most of the time chasing Tanner and watching him have fun.  

 Tanner just laughed every time he hit the ball. Logan took this picture right after he hit one.  

 My family also went out to Pizza Pie Cafe for dinner and opened gifts. Missy found me this Big Bird Cookie Jar. I just cried when I got it. My Grandma Ruby had one just like it when I was little and Missy even filled it full of Grandma Ruby cookies (sandwich cookies). The best gift ever. 

 Last year for my birthday I was in Colorado with Dan's family and I bought a lemon cake that tasted so good. So this year I wanted one just like it. I ended up using a lemon cake mix and making up some Lemon pudding (the kind for Lemon Meringue pie) and put that in the middle and on top. The frosting I used is a can of sweetened condensed milk  with a container of cool whip and 3/4 cup of Lemonade concentrate. It tasted so good. 

It also rained a little on my birthday, so of course Tanner and I had to splash in the puddles. 

It really was a great day being with family and eating lots of food and having fun.

Highland Splash Pad

Today Tanner and I went with Hillary and her boys to Highland Splash Pad. It's a free area where the kids can play in some ankle deep water. It's a lot of fun. It took Tanner a bit to get used to it but he really loves the water.

 Oops!  Water in the face. 

 Justin carried the basket of balls back to the top of the splash pad and dropped them back into the water for the kids to chase again.

 "I got a ball- so now what?"

It really is a great place to take your kids. 

Going to the movies

Monday, Tanner and I went to the SCERA and watched Happy Feet 2. During the summer they show kids movies during the day that have been out a while. He made it through the first half of the movie. He thought those penguins were pretty awesome and when they started singing he bounced a little and moved his arm. He loves music. 

Just me and my Tanner. He sure loved the popcorn and seeing his Aunty Meena at work.
