Tanner Turns SIX!!!


It is hard to believe that on June 20th 6 years ago I was anxiously welcoming my sweet little man into this world! I seriously do not know where all the time has gone. Tanner and I stayed up late Saturday night so we could go through his baby book together (he loves to hear stories about when he was a baby). As we were sitting there my heart literally hurt just a little to see how quickly he has grown in what seems such a short amount of time. I LOVE THAT HE WILL STILL CRAWL UP INTO MY ARMS EVEN IF HIS LEGS DANGLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RECLINER TO HOLD HIM IS STILL ONE OF THE SWEETEST THINGS IN MY LIFE. Tanner has a very special spirit. He has so much love for others and is always trying to do what is right. He is a phenomenal older brother who really adores his little brothers and is so good at taking time to play with them and to teach them. Tanner truly inspires me to be a better person. When Daniel and I welcomed our first child into this world we could have never understood what an amazing, life altering, magnificent and beautiful journey we were about to embark upon. Tanner never ceases to amaze us with his unwavering desire to love and serve others. He teaches me more than I could ever say I have taught him and for this I am truly grateful. HAPPY B-DAY T-TUMS!!!
