You can tell from the pictures who Tanner is. These don't really need captions.
However, I will still say a few words.
Tanner loves to CREATE.
He is always showing me noodles or crackers or a rock...that looks like it's shaped into something else. He always "see's" a new image. I love it!
He LOVES notebooks. Like I said, no need for this caption.
Drawing is still his passion and hobby.
Tanner is SO sentimental.
He hangs on to anything given to him by someone special. He refuses to part with any stuffed animal that I've EVER given him (and sleeps with them all). He remembers such random times when I've given him a new toy and he cherishes it forever!
He is a little love bug.
He can also be loud, obnoxious, silly, goof ball, or the class clown that people dread
when he wants to be ;)
more creativity at work
He is so thoughtful!!
He ALWAYS saves me the red candy out of any package his is eating.
Because it's my favorite.
It makes my heart melt.
And he'll give me a random love note like this...or attack me with a huge bear hug and tell me he's so grateful for me and he loves our family so much.
Again...heart melting.
He was so concerned for Gma Jan when her husband died. He hates to see people sad.
He wrote this sweet note to send to her.
I love my little boy scout.
He's an amazing big brother.
He's a great friend to his friends.
He's a loyal, smart, loving, giving, free spirited angel that I am so thankful and privileged to raise. I feel so lucky to have my Tan man. I'll never forget holding him for the first time in my arms. It still makes me cry when I think about how badly I ached for him. He healed my heart and brought so much joy to my life...and still does.
His smile makes life worth living!!
And last of all, he's our little missionary.
I love the stories he tells me after school, about his discussions with his best friend Connor on the bus. They talk about church and Tanner teaches him everything he knows!
He's convinced Connor is going to be his roommate at BYU because
Connor really wants to go there now!
He also wants Connor to reach the Celestial Kingdom and has taught him the importance of temple marriage (yah, they go deep! lol)
He's told him he doesn't want to hear dirty jokes any more, and that they need to use good language.
The stories go on and on. Just completely adorable.
It makes me so so happy. That is the greatest blessing I could ask for...his desire to be a missionary, share his testimony and testify of what he knows to be true.
Tanner really wanted to give Connor a Book of Mormon,
so we asked for a copy from our local missionaries and Tanner wrote this note all by himself and delivered the book to him.
Precious.
Connor
(insert 1/7/14 Tanner just said to me,
"Mom, when other people say they have the best mom ever, they are wrong.
I have the best mom ever!!")
Totally made my day! Love my boy.
