Happy Birthday Dear Tanner...

Happy Birthday to You!

Tanner Man is 6 Years Old today!

Here is his last year in a nut shell...

The kid loves ice cream and anything sweet for that matter.

Tanner with his "Uncle Cracker "

Tanner loves to swim.

Tanner protecting his flavor blasted gold fish...they are definitely worth protecting. If you haven't tried them you should.

Tanner decided to bag the "t" in "t-ball" and preferred someone pitching to him instead. He's got a mean swing and can really hit that ball.

That swing carries right over into his golf game.

Tanner on top of Austin, Conner, and Dylan. He loves his cousins.

Happy Birthday Tanner it's been a fun year and we're excited to see what the next year bring. We Love you buddy.

Bring on the New Year

New Years was a lot of fun this year...a little different because Mom and Dad were still in Ohio with Ben and Em...but we managed on our own and had a great time. Although I don't think our shishkabobs turned out as good as theirs, but the Chocolate Fondue was Fabulous and that made up for it. Here is a little time line of our New Years Eve...

7:00 pm- Dinner

8:00 pm-Hot Tub

Tanner is quite the cheeser.

All the kids enjoying the warm hot tub..I was standing out their freezing so we had to take shifts watching the kids.

Tay and Kaleigh being their silly little girl selves.

Conner and Maxxy just soaking it up.

9:00 pm - Babies New Year

Kason was wanting nothing to do with this crazy hat. Dylan didn't last long either.

Too cute Dylan...keep blowing buddy.

Priceless family pic of Cody, Lex, and Dylan.

Happy New Year Kason....wait I don't think it's a happy one at all! Cute pic of Jeff and Shauna and their cute little man anyway!

10:00 pm- Chocolate Fondue

The kids got their own bowl of chocolate since they don't always follow fondue etiquette.

Alexa was quite into her Fondue and Cody isn't really amused.

11:00- Video Games

The girls having fun on the Wii.

The boys were hooked to the DS's....and the big girls were still hooked to the Fondue.

12:00 am- Party Time

Happy New Year!

Max and Tanner especially liked the poppers.

Conner, Kaleigh, and Tay liked the blowers...not sure if Uncle Cody liked them though.?!

These two were party animals...Kaleigh thanks for ditching your fam and hanging out with us. It was too much fun!

Family Picture to bring in the New Year...you've got to love the enthusiasm.

OK so we were party animals ourselves. Lex, Shauna, and I had tons of fun even though the boys were party poopers.

1:00 am- Movies

The kids weren't ready to call it a night just yet so they all piled into Grandma and Grandpa's bed for a movie. This is really a once in a lifetime thing to be in this bed...it probably won't happen again till grandma and grandpa go out of town again. Shhh don't tell Stevey though...were only safe because he will never look at this blog.

Tanner barley awake while he played the Wii.

2:00 am-still holding out...

We ended the Night officially at about 4:00 am. No more pics though. It was a way fun night. That's what I love most about having a large family, we always know how to have fun together. There was no better way to bring in the NEW YEAR...Happy 2009 Everyone!
