Tanner officially turned 8 on August 21st.
I can't believe I have an eight year old. I still remember sitting in the hotel with him for the first week of his life and SO anxious to be awake all through the night feeding him, burping him, and relishing in the excitement of every experience new motherhood had brought me!! It was a dream come true for me to become a mother and Tanner was the cutest, sweetest baby.
Now he is the cutest, sweetest 8 year old!

We celebrated the weekend before having a fun little campout in the backyard.
Not sure why Kambrie looks possessed, but we all had a blast (until morning came and Landon and I remembered why we don't do this very often! No rest isn't very fun).
The next day he opened some presents and we had another fun family night watching a movie!
Legos and Bionicles are his favorite at the moment. He loves to create works of art with all those little pieces.
We had to do our own little photoshoot to capture his adorable smile at the ripe age of 8...and in preparation for his monumental moment of baptism.
Handsome little devil.
More birthday cards trickled in for a few days at Tanners delight and excitement!! That money just burns a hole in his pocket so fast he gets eager to spend it as fast as he can.
Due to the crazy helium shortage (seriously! whatev) we had some lame balloons and decor, but all that really matters was the birthday cake he got completely his own. He of course wanted to desecrate it first right out of the middle, and loved licking all the delish iced/whipped topping. It WAS a pretty dang yummy cake :)
We're still planning to have a little party celebration with his friends this coming weekend. There's just been too much going on to fit it in yet! We're so happy Tanner turned eight, and even more important than celebrating this birthday and his life, was the decision that he made to getting baptized.
I'll have to post about that next. It was a wonderful day with family and friends...
one he will never forget.
