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!!!

I scored some sweet swag :) LOL

So I totally love love love yard sales :) We went this morning and hit one up that was beyond awesome and above shows the great deals that we got all for $28 dollars. Now what cracks me up is while we were checking out tanner turned to me and said "Mom you scored some sweet swag" It made Daniel and I laugh. But I guess that is a good way to put it.

Girls Night Out

So I got to go out yesterday for a Girls Night out to The Melting pot downtown. Yeah needless to say I love Fondue! It was really nice though to just get away and have fun with friends and visit (not to mention eat some yummy food). See in my mind if you dip a strawberry in chocolate it is still healthy for you :) LOL I know I have issues but isn't that why y'all love me?

Frumpy Mom Phase???

So it has always been a joke between Daniel and I that I never wanted to be a frumpy mom :) We recently got the Wii Fit and I was setting up my little profile to get started and so my little "me" (aka. a little cartoon that represents you) got weighed and all a sudden looked down at her little hips and said uh-oh as they expanded AHHH I WAS LIKE ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS... Yes sad but true. Daniel of course just laughed and said that I looked like a curvy bombshell (stupid Wii). So I have decided that I am going to push myself just a little bit harder than I have been (no it wasn't just the little "me" that has made me want that cute pre-baby body back). Ugh I tell you motherhood is the greatest thing ever but the junk in the trunk that comes along with having given birth to three little monkeys is not very flattering. So everyone wish me luck and share any ideas that has worked for you. Oh yeah little side note I love food so I won't do the whole diet thing :) I will eat healthier but I won't give up having a yummy chocolate chip cookie here and there. So any other fun ideas I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear.
