Tanner is 3!!!

I can't believe that my little Tanner-man is 3! For his birthday, we decided that we would ride the tram at Snowbird. It was a lot of fun. We rode it up and hiked to the ski lift and rode that down. It was so fun!

We went to chic-fil-a for lunch and the awesome owner let Tanner have a hat and make his own ice cream!
We have successfully indoctrinated our child to have a golf course cake for his third birthday!
Tanner shares his birthday with his Great-Grandma Seaman who was sweet and sent a card to her "birthday buddy!"
The day would not be complete without a visit to Grandma Knutti! Grandma got him a Woody and Buzz who he has not let go of since!
We love Tanner more than we could ever say. We are so grateful he is part of our family. He has such a sweet spirit that was meant just for our family. I have never seen another 3 year old with so much compassion. He begs to see Grandma Knutti, to sit by her, to color with her and to give her hugs and kisses. He sat at the hospital with her waiting for a surgery to start for 2 and a half hours and was so well behaved, the nurses brought him stickers.  I cannot imagine a better kid for us.
As a side note, please pray for my mom! She is going through a particularly hard time in her life and needs all the blessings and peace she can get.

Lake Mary

This is one of the hikes I remember doing with my family. We used to make our dad pack a raft up and then we would paddle around. I wish that I were strong enough to pack it up.
Tanner was such an awesome hiker and did the whole thing without being carried at all! It helps to have brave older cousins who are so much fun to be with!
