5 Years Old & Cute As Can Be!!

A few weeks ago I had my first child...ok, that is only how it feels. I cannot believe that five years has flown by so quickly! Tanner is such a joy! This little man keeps us smiling, laughing and loving.
I took a few pictures of him at our friends house last month. He was so adorable!

Birthdays & Vacation

It amazes me how busy my life has become since Tanner started school. I didn't think there would be much difference but oh was I wrong. I have finally found a few minutes to catch up on the blogging and add a few pictures of the past few weeks.

We now have a 5 year old at our house and he will not let us forget it. Tanner is very proud to be five and has to make sure everyone knows it. He is also very excited because he can now have his very own library card., something he has been anticipating for quite a while now.

In the middle of getting ready for vacation we had a small birthday party for him. He really enjoyed himself and has not stopped talking about the ice cream sundaes they had. Here are a few pics:

The day before his birthday I took cupcakes to his Kindergarten class and I was able to get a few pictures of the celebration they had for him:

Tanner and his teachers:

The day after his birthday party (on his real birthday) my mom and a friend of hers came from Utah to visit. Tanner had asked to go to Dollywood for his birthday so we loaded up the cars (we had to take both the van and Michael's car to get us all there) and headed to Tennessee for 3 days. We had so much fun!!!

I hate to say that those are the only pictures I took but if I didn't then I would be lying. We were having such a wonderful time, I kept forgetting to take out the camera.
