Candy & Sugar

 

Here is Tanner checking them out! 

Dina & Mike's Farm

 

On the 16th of June we were invited out To Dina and Mike's farm. Tanner was very excited. He has been asking to go there for as long as he has known Dina! Well we went out right at 5 after Dina got off work! Mike was in the feild making hay bails. He stopped and asked Tanner if he wanted a ride. Tanner wanted me to come but I expalined that there was not enough room. I wasnt sure if he would go or not but the site of a big tractor won out and off he went with Mike. He had so much fun. When they were done he and Mike drove it back to the shed. We met them there and then Mike let him sit in all the other tractors and Tanner was full of questions! We then walked up to the other shed and mike gave hima 4 wheeler ride. And then Dina took him to see the calves on a 4 wheeler. She also gave him a ride on the lawn mower. We then ate hamburger and chips! Tanner had so much fun! They have to horses (Candy & Sugar) who Tanner still talks about. Also 2 dogs (Toby & Cody)

Tanner keeps aksing when we can go see Candy and Sugar and the puppies again! It was a great experince! We are forever grateful to them for showing Tanner a wonderful time! 

New big boy bed

 

A couple of weeks ago Tanner got a new big boy bed. He loves it. We had no trouble switching him over. In fact at night now he asks to go in his bed! :) 

WOO HOO Rodeo Time

 

We went to the rodeo again this year.. and had a much better experience.. no rain and no dead battery! Rick did not go this year but Tanner and I went with Dina. We met at around 630 and it was packed when we got there. Tanner had a good time but fell asleep near the end. We didnt get home until 1115. It was a late night for the little bugger but I think he had fun. It was a thursday so Friday was a LONG LONG day!

We sat really close.. and I thought some of those horse were going to come right at us! 

I didnt it again

 

Yes I promised to update all about May and I didnt. Well we had lots of days off and Ricks' mom watched Tanner to help out also, while mom was recovering! She was able to get back to full time after we got back from Colorado on 6/1.

I went to Scrap Jammies in May and got to see my wonderful scrapping friends. I just wish I could see them more often! Once a year is a long time, but with the rising cost of everything I doubt it will happen! So the message board is the next best thing! Had loads of fun and managed to scrap a few pages. but enjoyed sharing a table with Kris and Jen (Brandi came too.. she fit in awesome and I think had a great time)

Then not even a week after I got back we were off to COlorado for Erik's graduation. We got to fit in some time to go to Estes Park, get some Taffy and travel up the mountains a bit. We ate Bob & Tony's pizza.. Yum yum. Tanner got to swim in the hotel pool and had lots of fun playing with Erik and Mel! He loved the airplane ride ans said it was bumpy. There was some turbalence (sp) when we landed in Denver and some pretty big bumps.. but he laughed and thought it was great!

Right after we got back I got sick and barely made it to work on that Friday. I turned around and came back home to rest. I am not sure what it was! But it wasnt fun.

Well that was May in a nut shell! 

Start with April

 

So April was a busy month as usual. But for the life of me I can't rememember what we did. I do rememember that mom and dad went to Vegas. Well dad rememebers it but not so much mom. What we learned later is that moms apendicts (sp) burst before she went out. They went to Vegas on a sunday and they think it had happened about 5 days before but was a slow leak and therefore not as painful as a large rapture. So they were out in Vegas for about 2 days and had to return as she was so ill. Dad took her to the hospital on Wed. That is when we learned about what had happened. Mom doesnt rememeber alot of what happened. We also had to arrange for someone to watch Tanner for awhile as mom was in hopsital for almost 1 week.

She had a LOT of infection in her. She (THANK GOD) is doing much better now and is backing to having red at her house.

I guess Easter was also in April and Sharon the girls (and Nicole's BF), Sandy/John and the kids all came home. Tanner had loads of fun playing outside with the Merz kids! He got pretty sunburned also! :(

We also dyed eggs at our house and of course the Easter Bunny came and brought Tanner some goodies.

It was a busy month.

Tuesday I will tackle a long long May! 

Ohh I am so bad!

 

A very good friend of mine who I love and adore has reminded me that I have been a naughty blogger and I appreciate the nudge.

So much has gone on in the last couple months, from mom getting deathly sick (she is much better now) to seeing my best Jammie friends and going to Colorado (Tanners first airplane ride)

I will be a faithful blogger and start to catch everyone up. :)
