Tummy Time

Trying to scoot on his tummy, but he says it hurts his toes! :(

Our New House

Here are some pictures of our new house ...we are so excited to finally move out of our rental and have a place of our own again. The plan is to move the last weekend in June..so any volunteers to help us paint and move would be much appreciated! :) We all know you are dying to come visit Florida anyway! As you can tell, Kaden wanted to be in just about every picture!

The kitchen...we are going to add an island

Master Bath Shower and Tub
Had to show this pic..it looks like a bedroom, but it is our master bedroom closet..LOVE IT!

And for anybody interested in the floor plan....

Just some pics..

Since Tanner broke his leg, we haven't been able to get out much, so here are just a few pics of us hanging out at home. We have been doing lots of coloring, playing cars and trains on Tanner's cast, watching lots of new movies and watching a ton of BARNEY... somebody help us, please!

Hanging out in his high chair...notice the socks..silly kid..I think he misses wearing his socks and shoes.

A HUGE Thank You

We just wanted to say THANK YOU to everybody for all your sweet comments, emails, phone calls, and packages that you have sent Tanner since his accident. We truly appreciate every single one of them. Tanner has received several new DVD's, books, art supplies, stickers, toys, games and treats. It will be so nice to have all these new things to keep him happy and busy over the coming weeks. Thanks again and we love you all!

The Daddy Swim Test

Kaden will officially be done with swim lessons tomorrow. When we went up to the pool the other day, Aaron wanted to make sure he knew that Kade would be able to save himself in the pool where he was not able to touch the bottom. Aaron tossed him in a few times and he showed his Dad that he could get back to the wall. This is video of Kaden jumping in the 4 foot section of the pool and getting back by himself. Yea..he did it! Good job Kaden!

Swim Lessons -- Week 3

Here is video from last Friday..their 3rd week of lesson and unfortunately Tanner's last week..well at least for now. Tanner finally got to the point where he did not get upset and cry during the lessons. I hope he will be able to pick up where he left on when he gets this dumb cast off.

Gettin' Out

We were able to take Tanner outside last night for the first time since he got his cast. My good friend Kristi came to visit yesterday and let us borrow their wagon. We are going to buy Tanner a wagon, but if you know Aaron, he has to research to make sure he is getting the most for his money! :) So we took a walk up to the pool for Kade to go swimming ..he wanted to show his Dad all his new swimming skills.
( I will post more on swimming later..I have some videos I need to upload)
Also, Tanner had a Dr. appt today and it turns out that he probably will wear the cast for about 6 weeks, the Dr. said it could possibly be shorter, but in most cases not.. bummer! So disappointing!

Happy Mother's Day

Bad News

We have a fallen Superhero. Yesterday we had an accident trying to be Superman, jumping from the coffee table. Apparently Kaden was trying to help Tan Tan jump off the table and he fell. We don't know exactly what happened, but Tanner has a broken leg! Ok, not just a broken leg, but a broken femur (the upper bone in his thigh). We are so devastated that this could happen to our little man...it breaks our hearts to see him in pain. We took Tanner to the ER right after it happened because we knew something wasn't right, he didn't really cry, he just wasn't being himself. They had to transfer him by ambulance to Florida's Children's hospital to see an orthopedic doctor. When the Dr. came in, he said that Tanner would have to be in a cast covering his hips and both his legs for about 6-8 weeks! They took Tanner into the operating room this morning to cast him, when the Dr. came out, he said there there is a possibility that he would only have to wear it for 3 weeks! YEAH! That was a HUGE relief! Not sure how we are going to do this, but we will figure it out! Talk about feeling like the worst parent in the world! Here are a few pics of our little man.

A half smile, trying to be such a good boy! Hanging out with Woody and Bullseye
Finally....at home resting

Ladies Man

These pictures say it all....I am in big Trouble! And just for the record, she is the one that was dragging Tanner along...but as you can tell, he didn't seem to mind at all!

Swim News

I am proud to say that after only 12 days of lessons, Kaden has learned the swim-float-swim sequence! He swam across the entire length of the pool by himself yesterday! It's amazing how fast he picked up on it..his teachers are so proud of him! Today he will start learning how to swim in summer clothes, shoes and all! Also, he is very excited that Miss Lori is going to teach him how to snorkel after he is finished with his swim lessons! He can't wait!

I also have to report that Tanner didn't cry during his entire lesson yesterday! I even caught him smiling and splashing in the water!
