Just a few quick photos from the weekend. It was a busy one. We had hockey 2 nights and Playhouse Disney today!

The story went well on Friday at Tanners school. He also got to meet Mike Fazio (a Thunderbirds player) and his parents. Mike finally played over the weekend and Tanner was very excited. They had a jersey give away on Saturday night and Tanner was banging on the glass trying to get Mike's attention. Although over the weekend he still was talking about Ian. He said Ian had to come back becuase he was the BEST fighter! He calls #11 this year.. "the Fake Ian". Poor kid.. good thing we dont know him!

Anyway... here are a few pics

Tanners preschool Program was tonight... WOW it was packed... SO MANY people. So we got crappy seats... at least we were able to see him.. thankfully he was on the top row. You cant really hear them sing that well unless you turn it up really loud!

Tanner had a rough day.. I think he is tired from missing 2 naps this week. But he was VERY crabby and mad when I would not get him a Happy Meal today. Then he got mad when I would not carry him to the car.. then again when I would not give him a fruit roll up right before dinner. He seems to be better now. So hopefully Friday will be a better day. I am going to his school to read a story ...so I hope he is a good boy then.

I have heard all the excuses now... the latest reason that Tanner can not clean up his toys by himself is because.....

He only has two hands and is short!

Sunday was a lazy day. I stayed in bed off and on all day. Trying to get better. I did have a nice energy spurt at the end of the afternoon and I cleaned up alot in the house. Tanner was starting to feel better. So that was good!

Monday Tanner got to go on a field trip.. they went to McDonald's playland and got a happy meal... It was probably the best field trip for him.. one of his favorite places! I also got great news and work when we made a deal with the Grand! I was literally running all over the place to share it with Holly, Tim and Renee..

Today is Tuesday and its Tanner and Mommy night. Rick is at the Walhert basketball game with Jeff. So Tanner and I are hanging out tonight! I also scored Disney Playhouse tickets for 10.00 each. They are up high .. like where we sit for Hockey.. but that's ok. Tanner really wanted to go.. and I was NOT spending 45.00 a pop for great seats. He will be just as happy up there. I will take his binoculars too... He is excited. I searched all over online for a promo code to use.. and FINALLY I found one. Every time I take him to a concert/show I look for one and have NEVER found one. It was meant to be! So that is this Sunday at 430.. we have a FULL week....

Thur__Preschool Program

A bust rest of the week. I am glad I have off on Wednesday to prepare!

Well its been a cruddy week. Tanner and I have been sick! Tanner started with a cough, a deep heavy cough, and a cold.. it has now transferred to me. I have been sick since Wednesday. I just want to lay in bed.. but I cant do that!
Tanner does not like Musinex~!

The weather was awesome the first part of the week! But it did get colder as the week went on. All of our snow had melted.. and it looked like Spring.

We have not done much this week as I was sickie :(

Gymnastics went well on Wednesday and Tanner did well on the big balance beam. He usually gets scared but walked on it alot better then he has ever done.

Tanner had is Valentines day party at school on Friday. He brought home lots of Valentines. He and will traded one as Tanner wanted the Hulk one and Will wanted the Batman one.. To funny! He practiced his songs for the Valentines day Program for me on Friday also.

Last night we had a hockey game to go to. It snowed :( about 3 inches. They had told us only 1 and that it would melt today.. but I don't see that happening. The hockey game was very physical lots of fights.. therefore i think it translated out side as there was a chick fight on the sidewalk when we left. So Michele called the cops. :)

Hopefully later today I will be feeling better!

I find it hard to type on this blog everyday even tho I want to. Things just seem to come up that prevent me from doing so. Lately I have had a lot of headaches. I am wondering if it is sinus troubles. I cant seem to figure it out. I have to get some Excedrin pills from work. they seem to work the best. Kelly/Brenda gave me 4 a couple of weeks ago and I can get by with taking and it takes the pain away. The glare at work really really works some numbers on my head!

Friday afternoon we had kindergarten round up. Tanner was a bit nervous at first. I think he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. Thankfully he had to wait a bit before his assessment and he got comfortable in his surroundings. He did a great job and the teacher told me that we was more then ready for kindergarten. She said he did awesome. She also told us there were about 6 kids from Young Uns that were at round up that day. That is exciting news .. that way Tanner will have some friends and kids to ride Gus the Bus with. I watched and listened to part of what they were asking him. He printed his name and said all the letters and could tell them how many of dinosaurs were left with just looking and not counting out loud! He is such a big boy! :)

Anyway this weekend was a stay at home weekend, which was nice since the next 2 weeks are 2 hockey game weekends... and those always wear me out! I believe Tanner is sick tho.. well I know he is sick.. he has a cold and his cough seems to be getting worse.. and more horse.

Lane came over to play on Saturday morning. The boys ran and played and had so much fun. But coming from a mother of one.... it reminded me that I only want one! It was loud and noisy.. and seemed chaotic. I pretty much let them run and have fun and do what they wanted and I am sure I would not so that if they were both our children.. but it was a nice reminder... LOL. Tanner loves to play with Lane and it is fun to have him over and watch them play even if it it loud and noisy! It doesn't happen every day. Tanner was very sad when Lane left to go home. He pretended he was here the whole night.

We then went to the West Dubuque Tap for Ron Richey's birthday celebration. Tanner of course entertained because that's who he is. He is funny and he doesn't even know it. He watched TV on my Ipod for a while. Then Michele came up and we went home and Michele hung out for a while.

Today Tanner and Rick got their hair cut and mom scrapped a bit.

Monday night was a nice quiet night at home. Tanner played out in the living room and we watched TV in the bedroom. He went in his own room in his own bed and we got to watch CSI Miami for the first time in about 4 years. I miss that show.. its a bit gory at times tho!
Monday night at the dinner table Rick asked Tanner is he tired to kiss Addie again.. and he hung his head down and said.. well a little bit... A little bit... isn't that like being a little bit PG! Oh boy... we may have to separate those too. He said she started it.. and that I am not sure if I believe!

Today was a nap day at school so I had a nice leisurely lunch here at home. Actually I come home and watch TV and play Mob wars or Path Words on Facebook! When I picked him up he showed me a penny and told me that Addison gave it to him. She brought a Hannah Montana purse to school and she had money in it and she shared with him. They also must be doing some project at school for Valentines day because he would not tell me what they did today.. all he said was .. Its a secret!

This Friday is Kindergarten round up. Tanner is very excited about it. He said he wants to show the teachers how smart he is! Lets hope he doesn't say anything to strange eh!

Ok... So we have had alot going on this week.

Tanner had gymnastics on Wednesday night, and then we ran to Sam's to pick up monthly supplies. Thursday night we went to the grocery store to pick up the other monthly supplies.

Friday night Tanner went with Michele and hung out with Will Imbus. He had a great time.. and Michele said he talked non stop the whole way home. Not surprising! He got home around 1030. Rick and I went to Target and shopped for Emma and then hung out at home.. and enjoyed a quiet evening.. it was rare!

Saturday we had Emma's B-day party. Tanner has never been to skate county before. He got skates on and went right out there.. but then he was going the wrong way and got told to go the correct way and he got freaked out a bit and did not like that and would not go back out on the floor. Well the only way I could get him to do that was if I put on skates .. so I did. In total we did about 4 laps total.... spilt up. As he was really more wanting to play the video games (well pretend to play). He and Jack.. ate popcorn like there was no tomorrow. They were crazy with it.. shoving it in like they had not eaten in weeks. It was kind of funny! Then he really wanted a ring pop off the cake. But he didn't get that till we left.. for safety purposes... After the party we went to McDonald's as he was hungry.

Saturday night we had a hockey game.. where Tanner announced he was bored!... another reason not to get tickets next year. 100.00 for him to be bored! Umm I think not. Michele rode down with us. We didn't get home till 10.

Sunday was our Big Bob the Builder show in Cedar Falls. We left at 11 and got home at 5. Roads were clear (a blessing for February) and we enjoyed the show. Got a souvenir (of course when doesn't he) and stoped at Mcd's for dinner. Right now Tanner we just got done watching the 3-d thing on TV at the half of the Superbowl. Dad is pretty happy right now. Tanner is watching Kung Fu Panda for the 3rd time in 2 days and Rick is downstairs watching the 2nd half.

I will be headed to take a bath soon!

Have a great night!
