Finally Five


Tanner is "finally five" as he says. He is probably one of the last of his buddies to turn five. Yesterday Tanner celebrated at his Incredible Hulk water party. He had lots of his buddies over for fun in the sun playing in the water. They played on the bonzai waterslide, played a water balloon relay race, and hit at a cheap piniata (the hanger broke off after the first two hits). He opened gifts and got embarrassed when we sang "Happy Birthday". But after about 2-3 cupcakes, he was doing just fine. He loved spending time with his buddies and thanks to all of you for coming to help him celebrate.

Today he woke up to his favorite breakfast, "PANPAKES with POWER SUGAR". He was feeling a little nauseated all day for some reason so he had a tough time staying happy. We went to the library where he got his own library card that he's been waiting for (you have to be five). We made his favorite Mac and Hamburger and had cake and ice cream for dessert. Both of which he barely touched due to his tummy ache. What a bummer! He kept making comments all day like, "My tummy hurts, I guess I'm just not used to birthdays" or "My tummy hurts, I guess I'm not used to parties and cake". We laughed inside.

He ended the night by finally learning to ride his two wheeler without training wheels. He's been trying for a while, but tonight he just had the courage to try and it paid off. Good job, Tanner. All in all he had a great day . We love you, dimple boy. Happy Birthday!!

Your blog is so cute! I can't believe you have all those birthday's in a row - at least it's nice to get them over with! I loved the Breaking Dawn Party! I am still laughing at the dead faced girl in the turquoise dress! :) Tons of fun!

What a fun birthday season and perfectly spaced out from Christmas shopping. I have to admit it's great to have a summer birthday. Loved seeing your parents after all these years. Your dad is still one "wild and crazy" guy!

You have had a busy birthday season! How fun. I cannot believe the boys are going to Kindergarten! Time goes by way fast. It's so crazy.

Happy birthday Tanner ! I'm sorry pancake couldn't make it. He was really sad. Thanks for inviting him maybe we'll make it next year.
