Yellowstone bison

These bison were just walking along the road. It was funny, Matt started making noises at them and they started running.
Matt and HD were pretty crazy. They walked down by the river through a herd of bison. I was so scared for them. A couple bison were eyeing them like they wanted them to leave. When we went into the park they gave a flier that says, "WARNING MANY VISITORS HAVE BEEN GORED BY BUFFALO." It also said, "Buffalo can weigh 2000 pounds and sprint at 30 miles per hour three times faster than you can run." I guess no one else saw it before he and HD approached them. Luckily no one was gored. Later Mickie read it to them and realized how crazy they were.

Time to Baby Proof

He may not crawl but he can still get around and into trouble. He's not into putting things into his mouth though, so that is good. However, it is annoying when I want him to feed himself Cheerios or whatever.

Hair, I hate hair

So I was bored with my hair, which happens about every 6 months or so, so I cut bangs. I don't know how to wear them though. To the front, to the side? I don't like them yet, but I probably will soon. I'm debating on what to do with the rest of my hair. It needs a trim but at salon they ALWAYS chop too much off, and I want to grow it out. Wish I could do it myself; too scared. Sooo, we'll see. Any ideas for a style???

Tanner and friends

Tanner looks so unamused. These are some of my friends' babies. We go walking almost everyday. Can you tell who is oldest? Tanner is 9 months, the other little boy is only 6 months, and the little girl is 8 months.

At the park

One of my walking buddies took these.

Surgery

Well, I am scheduled to get my gall bladder out on June 5th. I'm not excited about the recovery. Guess it isn't bad, but I will miss exercising and hopefully I can manage Tanner ok. I'll have to recrute some friends and family to come help me and keep me company.

Carpet swimmer

I got Tanner to chase the camera accross the floor. He will be a great swimmer don't you think?

Gall Stones

I found out this week through an ultrasound that I have gall stones. They've been hurting me sporatically since Tanner was born. So, I'll probably have my gall bladder removed. I have had to go through three different doctors to get taken seriously. I knew that was the problem since every woman and some of the men in my family have had gall stones. One doctor gave me a laxative and he said, "Try this and your stomach will feel better." The next said I had acid reflux, and them my OB (which is a woman, by the way, yay for woman doctors who actually listen) said, "Oh yeah, sounds like gall stones. Do you want an ultra sound?" Yes please. And sure enough, that is what it is.

Oh, and by the way. I went to the Wellness Center today to get an assessment to see how healthy I am. Nate works there for one of his classes so he did it. It was funny because he checked my blood pressure, but he kept getting an "impossibly low reading" so he redid it probably 10 times. Finally he had someone else do it and it was still super low. 75/50. Everyone was really concerned and saying that I should be light headed or blacked out at that low. I felt fine until I had to do the bench press. I had to do my max. Then I was a little light headed, but who doesn't practically black out during the max out?

Tanner rolling around

Scrubba dub dub

Bath time is his favorite time of day. He used to cry when I took him out, but I started to let the water out when he was still in it. When it is gone he is content getting out.

Cutie pie

We buzzed Tanner's hair the other day. It was getting a little long on top. Now we can spike it.

Swimming?

Well, he is getting closer to crawling, but still not quite.

Fake laugh

He's been doing this fake laugh lately. It is kind of funny. He is pretty good at entertaining himself.

Tanner tooting in the tub

I hope you can hear it ok. I was laughing pretty hard.

New Family Pictures

It is so hard to get all of us looking good in one picture.

Way to go Nate!

Nate got awsome grades last semester. One A- and the rest were A's! He's obviously been very blessed because he's never had better grades, but he has never been busier than he was last semester since he started a full time job.

Booty dance on Tracie's lap

Scary Elmo

We should have videoed the first time that Tanner met Elmo because his reaction was so funny. He jumped like he never did before.

Easter with Tanners

Tanner cuddling with great grandma Tanner

I don't know what he was pouting about, but he does a good pout huh? It is the lips.
Tanner with Aunt Tracie.

Tanner meets family

It was cute. When Li, Tanner's second cousin, started to cry he did too. He's never done that before.

Tanner meets his great grandparents.

Licking the floor

He has discovered every way to get around besides crawling. Silly kid.

Mom and Tanner humming a duet

Sorry about the camera string in the way.



Ok, let's try again.
