Supercross at Daytona International Speedway

As I am sure you all know, Aaron LOVES motocross! So to help celebrate his birthday coming up, we went to the big Supercross race at Daytona! After all day with the strong thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings, they said they were still going to hold the race. So we packed up all our rain gear and headed out! As you can see in the pictures, the track is pure mud! By the time the main event came around it was down pouring and the track was a swamp! Bikes were getting stuck in big mud holes and the guys were ripping off their goggles they couldn't see anything. We were pretty wet, but we had lots of fun, the rain actually made the race pretty exciting!

Mardi Gras Parade

Last Saturday, we took the boys to see the Mardi Gras Parade at Universal Studios. They had some really cool floats and everybody threw beads at you (unlike regular Mardi Gras , there was no flashing going on!) :) The boys really enjoyed the parade with all the tall people and pretty lights! Universal Studios celebrates Mardi Gras on Saturdays in February through April with a parade, concert and lots of Mardi Gras food and music. Gretchen Wilson was playing in concert when we went but there were so many people we weren't able to get very close. We just watched her on the big screen. Kaden was really disappointed, he wanted to go right up by the stage. So maybe we will try to go again and just get there early so we can get good seats to a concert!
Aaron & the boys
Me & the boys
Get these beads off of me!

Here are just a few pictures of Kaden and Tanner playing together. They love to build tents with blankets...they will play, play, play forever! Tanner loves playing with his big brother and follows him everywhere and trys to do everything he does!

For All His Fans

I know you all love Tanner's belly laugh, so I was able to get this on video. We were having dinner and Kaden was making Tanner laugh. He was just making silly faces and noises, but Tan Tan thought it was the funniest thing ever. Nobody can make Tanner laugh like Kaden can, he just loves his big brother! Hope you all enjoy! We just love this silly boy!

Make sure to scroll down and pause the music before you push play. Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate the first video..so just turn your head! :)

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Kaden was so excited for Valentine's Day, I don't really think he understands what it is all about, he just knew he was going to get a present! We had a play date with our friends Kristi, Ty and baby Luke. They came over to play and make Valentine cupcakes. Kaden loved decorating the cupcakes, he piled on a TON of sprinkles. So many that he was asking me to scrape off the frosting. There were so many spinkles, it probably tasted like eating a pile of sand! YUCK!
We made a yummy dinner for Aaron. Steak, twiced baked potatoes and salad. Aaron brought home cards and balloons for everybody! Tanner was very excited, he loves balloons! Kaden also got a new hot wheels track and a Scooby Doo movie and Tanner got some new Barney movies! Yay, for me! I got tired of the other 2 we have! Aaron got me a new laptop..I am so excited! I don't have to sit in the corner upstairs in the office anymore! We hope you all had a great Valentine's Day full of lots of Love!

Tanner's 18 Month Check-Up



Tanner had his 18 month check up today! He weighs 21 lbs (3rd percentile), he is 32 1/4 inches (25th percentile) and his head measured at 18 (25th percentile). So just a little scrawny..but healthy! No shots today, YAY! He was all up to date on his shots so he lucked out..no more until he turns 2! How sad, that will be his next check up..he will be a toddler and not a baby anymore!


Some new things Tanner is doing these days....he still loves animals. He says just about every animal sound except kitty..he won't even try that one. His new favorite thing is Barney! AHH! He loves Barney movies! Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he points to the T.V. and asks for "BA BA" that means Barney! He also likes to watch Elmo, the ones without Snuffy in them...Snuffy scares him for some reason!


Tanner is our little monkey, he climbs everything. The pantry shelves, the refrigerator shelves, on the kitchen table, on the coffee table..you name it..he trys to climb it! He trys to do eveything Kaden does! Aaron taught him how to karate chop, so he says "ah-ya" and trys to kick or punch!
Tanner knows all his body parts..he will point to them when you ask him where they are (eyes, mouth, teeeth, hair..ect..) He also thinks it is so funny to spank his own bum!

He is such a sweet boy, he loves to give kisses and loves! He is just growing up too fast!
I just had to post the picture from when Tan Tan was only a few weeks old! I just love that picture..he was such a sweet, tiny baby!

A Pirate Adventure?

I asked Kaden what he was doing as he was dumping movies, wii games, books & toys all over his Elmo couch, he said "Mom, we are going on a pirate adventure!" Not sure if that was all the treasure they found, but they had a ton of fun!
