Twelve years ago today, a super neat guy came in to this world. He was the snuggliest, cuddliest baby. Everyone wanted to hold him. He won all of our hearts immediately and still owns them to this day. He is happy, humorous, smart and can play some pretty mean basketball. He loves science too. He loves Astronomy and may even be an astronaut some day. He has a very gentle, kind soul and he is full of faith in our Heavenly Father. I remember once when he was about 3 years old, he was finally invited to go with his dad to a Father and Son Campout. Oh how excited he was to finally get to go with Dad and the big boys! The weather looked as if it was not going to cooperate. He prayed and prayed that his big plans would not be ruined. A brother in our church still reminds us even today what happened next. He could see storm clouds and lightning in the distance from both directions but there seemed to be a clearing over their camp the whole time. If there ever was a need for something, our family joke was "have Tanner pray." To know him is to love him!
This year we had a small celebration at his grandparent's house. He requested Taco soup for dinner and the sinful "celestial cake." I think they call it that because if you eat it, you will go to heaven soon. Meaning it will clog your arteries! It is soooo good, but definitely not something you should eat every day.
Brailyn has a big heart and always gives away presents from her own toy collection. It has always been very touching how she will pick from her own toys to give to her brothers and sisters. Although, I am not sure how much Tanner appreciated a necklace and a pom pom. LOL We all got a good laugh though. Especially Tanner! Happy birthday Tanner. We love you!!
