All About Tanner

I had decided when I first started blogging that when each of my kids had a birthday I would do a post that was all about them. Well Tanner has just recently turned 7 years old! Can I have a child that old? Considering that most people assume that I am over 35 because I have six kids, I guess it's not that hard to believe. Sadly. Anyhow these are just my random thoughts on Tanner and some of his favorite things.

Tanner practicing some "sweet jumps" on a ramp they made one day. Tanner loves to be outside riding bikes, scooters, or playing with his friends.

Tanner and Ella. He loves to give piggy back rides to the "little ones". (That's my new name for the babies. Little ones.)He is a great big brother.


Tanner has always loved tractors. From a baby he could spot them anywhere we went. "Ters!" "Ters!" He loves that his grandpa has so many that he can ride in!

Tanner and Benny are best buddies. I know that Tanner would say otherwise, but they are. If one is gone they are completely lost and bored without each other.
Tanner's favorite things:
Fav. Food: Any cheesehurger kids meal. I think it is just for the toy, of course.
Fav. Show: Suite Life of Zack and Cody and all character cartoons listed below.
Fav. Color: Red and Blue
Fav. Friends: Cayden, Clay, Eddie, all cousins
Fav. Place: Lagoon, Island Park, Bear Lake
Tanner is: *Serious *Likes to be in charge *Helpful *Imaginative *Active *Daddy's Boy *Sensitive *Smart *Loving *Inquisitive
Tanner Loves: *To sleep in *To wrestle and fight his 2 uncles Nate and Aaron *Go to Home Depot with his Dad *Watch T.V. *Everything character-Power Rangers, Batman, Spider-man, Super-man, Ben 10, Pucca, TMNT. However, he is not allowed to wear characters. I have to draw the line somewhere!
Tanner Hates: *Fish, *Hornets, *Cleaning up his messes, *Getting woke up in the morning, *Storms (especially now that his room is in the basement!)
Fav. Tanner saying: "Are there bears there?", "What will a racoon do to you?", "Are there rattlesnakes there?", "What will a mountain lion do to you?"
He is very interested or concerned by wildlife, I'm not sure which. But every time we go somewhere he has to know what kind of wildlife is there. And what will happen to him if he runs into that wildlife. Will it eat him, bite him, kick him...etc. I don't blame him becuase up until recently I thought a porqupine could throw their quils at you, you know like you see in the cartoons! One came across my path jogging one day, I didn't dare go back that way until Marty informed me they couldn't.

Oh "Big Red" he is so cute. I can't believe he is already 7. He cracks me up how he is so interested in wildlife. He kind of sounds like me. But I always ask because I'm scared of getting eaten by a bear or a mountain lion.

Tanner is definatly your "little worrier" he cracks me up the things he gets concerned with...kinda like a "mini Marty". Just think...this time next year he will be getting baptized and its all down hill from there !!!

I can't believe you have a 7 yr old either, I swear it was just yesterday he was a baby, time flies. I love that big red kid to.

what a sweet, handsome boy. I can't believe he's 7. You should at least let the poor boy wear character undies and jammies (thats what I do). I agree with the clothing though.
