MBG...fancy backyard


We love the Botanical Gardens...it's the perfect place for the boys to burn some energy! Tanner did Caterpillar Club for a long time and Sam will start soon!  We met some sweet friends and enjoyed the AMAZING weather! Sam decided he had no problem swimming in his jon-jon!  Our clubhouse is not quite as adorable as this one but I think we need to add a pulley system...I think I see a trip to Lowe's!

I have to admit when we were enjoying our time at the MBG, I couldn't help but be a little sad about it being my last week before Tanner started K. I'm 1/2 way through the week and it's been ok.  Luckily his days are short so we have plenty of afternoon time and even had time for a morning park stop this morning. I've run 2x already with just 1 boy in the jogger and I really am enjoying some Sam time! Sam really misses him (so do I) but I keep trying to remember we really prayed about this K year and this is where God lead our family more specifically Tanner. I can not wait to see how Tanner grows this year...he told me on the way to school "I'm ready to read harder books!"

kinDerG...can't say the word

I can barely say the word Kindergarten!  Tanner, of course, is beyond ecstatic! I am just in utter shock that Tanner that my sweet baby boy had his first day of school this morning...it was just a half day and he doesn't go again until Friday but WHERE DID THE TIME GO?

We are so very proud of you, W. Tanner. 
 You are an amazing big brother,
Have the best helping hands around,
Are reading like a champ,
Can build anything,
Are so very serious,
You are the best listener,
A great friend,
You have such a thoughtful heart,
You are full of energy and so much life,
Are so very handsome,
You have God in your heart,
We love you so very much!




Sam...I will cherish every minute I have with you at home because before I know it you'll be in school too:(  Sam is so heart-broken when Tanner is not home..."Where's my Tanner?" is what I hear 100 times until Tanner gets home!  Maybe this year will be the motivation and encouragement I need to be confident homeschooling is best for our family!!!


STAR WARS key chains on Tanner's backpack!
Sam had to take his too...just to take Tanner to school!
