An exciting discovery

Tanner found the little door stoppers behind EVERY door in the house. He loves to make noise with them. Our poor downstairs neighbors.

Happy Birthday to ME!

It was really just another day for me though. Nate was gone til 6ish then we went to Cold Stone for ice cream. My lovely sister Tracie got me a gift card for the place. Got the biggest one of the birthday kind. Don't know all the technical Cold Stone terms, dilectable (like Nate would say). Then we went to Jordan's flag football game, which I think he won. We didn't stay cuz Tanner was sleepy. I am excited to buy myself some new clothes with some birthday money I got from Mom & Dad. I desperately need some. I am 26 by the way.

Yay Tanner!...I think

Here is a video of Tanner crawling. He's already gotten into the trash, stuck under a chair, and tried to squeeze next to the fridge where he saw my mop and broom. I don't know if I like this crawling business.

Babysitting and Crawling

I babysat for a friend today, and it was actually fun. I was nervous because Tanner can be so demanding but he did really well. Liked to play with Kaylee, and for the most part played nice. He started crawling today. He did it once like it was nothing, he had no fear. Then I tried to get him to do it again and he was a little more hesitant. In a couple days I am sure he will be all over the place. Kaylee is really cute. She loved to touch Tanner and she was so gentle, then Tanner would try and rip out her bow. Bratty boy!

Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband

Ok, these guys are my new favorite band right now. Nate and I went to their concert last night. I've always liked them but they were amazing in concert. So entertaining.

Gut busting cough

So, last night I was coming out of Albertsons and putting the groceries away. The car next to me was pulling out, and I had the urge to cough (coughing and laughing are a painful after gall bladder surgery). I must have looked like I was getting ready to hurl or have a seizure or something because I was trying to hold in the coughs. I was bent over into my car, and I am sure I was making a weird face and noises. Then, I started to hold my stomach because if I push on it a little when I am coughing it doesn't hurt quite as bad. I saw the car stop behind my car and stare with concern. I acted normal after I got it out and the guy just smiled politely like he didn't see anything, but the wife looked horrified. And they drove off. I felt dumb, and sore.

Tanner was relaxing on his Aunt Paula's pregnant belly.
I entered this picture in a cute baby contest. I just wish his shirt was red to go with the green grass. Oh well, he is still adorable.

Surgery Update

Surgery went well yesterday. I am sore today and can't pick up Tanner, which is sad, but I get around pretty good. Poor Nate was taking care of both Tanner and me yesterday. Tanner was sick all day yesterday and the night before. He wouldn't eat anything, had a fever, and still has diarrhea real bad. Nate had to change the diapers all day. He's a trooper, and no complaining from him. Nate has been so helpful. I think I have been taking him for granted. Takes something like surgery to realize how much I need him and appreciate him. He's such a good husband. And my family is great too. My sister, Tracie, and sister-in-law, Paula, have been taking turns taking care of me (more like Tanner), and my brother, Paul, is coming soon to take his turn. I am treating myself to Dreyers Loaded Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream for dinner tonight. I can only eat clear liquids and soft dairy products today. I can add grains tomorrow. Can't wait!

Stuck

Tanner overcame his fear of the water park

He always had his tongue out to suck up all the water that got on his face.
