Here are a few updates on the fun things that have been going on this summer!
Trent and I decided to do a late date night at the drive in movie theater. We were hoping Tanner would fall asleep on the way there. We made the mistake of telling him that we were going to see a movie. He stayed awake during the drive and kept saying "watch movie." This was the look on his face. Needless to say he did not fall asleep as soon as we had hoped. He enjoyed most of the first move and then fell asleep by the second one, so I guess we had more of a "family night/date night" but it was still really fun!
I made my first Turkey EVER! Yeah, those are burnt onions on top. Truthfully I overcooked the Turkey. I guess that is what I get for always worrying if the meat is cooked enough. Maybe next time I will do better....lol.
Tanner is such a smarty! Occasionally we will sing the ABC song together. The other day I finally pulled out some magnetic letters from the preschool box I had made at collage. Tanner was playing with them letters by himself and I heard him start to sing the ABC's song. He got all the way up to letter "G" on his own.
Tanner is always surprising me! I made us some bread with butter to eat. I had given myself the full piece, since Tanner had eaten something for breakfast and I hadn't. I gave him half of a heal to eat so that he wasn't asking for my piece of bread while I ate. I sat down to work at the computer and had laid my full piece of bread on the desk next to me. When I went to reach for it a little bit later I found this in its place. Tanner had traded piece with mine. Here is his chewed up half of a heal piece! It was so funny to me that he had traded without me noticing and that he knew what the good stuff was. He had helped himself to my piece of bead...such a silly boy.
Trent's sister Joy and her daughter Maddie came to Logan to visit. Trent and I enjoyed a BBQ with family, Sunday to celebrate our niece Katie's birthday. The following Monday Trent headed to work while I stayed to play with the girls. It was great to visit! Tanner loved playing with the pool. He had gone swimming in his swimsuit earlier, but started to play with the water again when he woke up from his nap. I decided not to care. I was being lazy and didn't want to change him so I let him play in his clothes. He had a blast with that hose and he was soaked by the end of everything!
Free Slurpee's! We have an app on our phone from Seven Eleven with free coupons on it and Tanner and I were able to get a free Slurpee. He enjoyed it :) When it was time time to get in the car he didn't want me to take the Slurpee. He started to throw a tantrum. I explained that if he cried he wouldn't get anymore Slurpee, but if he could wait patiently till we got home he could have more. He stopped. It was neat to see him understand and choose to act appropriately. On the drive home I kept telling him he was doing a good job waiting and that as soon as we got home he could have more. He did great all the way home and then was able to have some more, which made him really happy.
Tanner wanted to wear my socks. These ankle socks look like soccer cleats on him.
Tanner's favorite thing to do is stomp and jump on this brush stuff. We walk through this area on our way to church and every time he tries to stop and play. We have to remind him that he can stop and play on his way back. He usually listens and heads to church, but boy does he get excited on the way back home when we let him stop and play. He looks so handsome with his Sunday clothes on!
