Tanner is getting baptized


Tanner is getting baptized and I had to share the amazing invite my friend Toni did. Isn't she AWESOME!!!!! I took out all the information, but you get the idea. (If you want to come and didn't get an email....email me at addisonsmommy@gmail.com)
I can't believe Tanner is turning 8. He's is growing up so fast. He is very excited about his baptism. I think that's all he's been talking about for the past year, but especially this last month. He met with the Bishop and had been "extra" good lately. I am loving it. The other day I asked him to unload the dishwasher and he said, "Okay!" WOW, I was shocked. LOL Tanner is such a sweetheart. He is my sensitive child and easily gets his feelings hurt (I'm not always sure how to handle this, since I had all brothers.) He is also very social and kind. We went to the school carnival this year and so many kids came up to say "Hi" to him. Davis and I joke that he walks around like he's running for class president. He's an amazing big brother. I am sure it was a total shock at nearly 4 when he got a new sister and then before long a new brother...it was a double whammy and his lap time with Mom got diminished. He'll still occasionally snuggle by me if there is no one else there, which is extremely rare, but he tries to find those rare moments. Lately we have enjoyed playing "big kid" games with him. We've tried to find games he can play with just Davis and I. With it being summer we'll let him stay up late and play with us a game or two. He is liking that very much. Man, I love this kid. He really is a sweetie. Can't wait for this week to party. His birthday is Wednesday, we are having a "My Dad is better than your Dad" party on Friday with come close friends and then his baptism on Saturday...busy busy busy...but fun too!

YAY! That is fun for Tanner! Thanks for sharing the good news. It's sad to think that I haven't seen you guys for so long. I miss you all!

That is so exciting that he is getting baptised! I said hi to him at scout camp yesterday and he asked how I knew his name. I told him that I you, and he had to quiz me on the names of eveyone in his family. He is such a funny boy!
