T's Friend Party

Although his birthday is not for a few more days, Tanner really wanted to have his party before school started. A weekend luckily opened up and we were able to host a sleepover/lazertag/airsoft war. We had a great time as you can see and Tanner did what he loves most right now...pretended he was an army guy. I even got in the mix a little bit, but 4 on 1 was a little unfair, especially since there were airsoft grenades flying my direction.

Since we are still very behind on our blog here is a movie of the kids the other day. We have loved summer and although the kids are excited to start school Kim and I will miss the late nights and time we had to spend with each of them. Grace starts school on Tuesday and Tanner starts on Wednesday. Grace has been very brave and is looking forward to starting. This last month Grace has been conquering her fears and trying new things. She is teaching herself how to skateboard, she rode her bike down a very big hill, and many other things. Each time she gets so excited knowing that she has overcome a fear or tried something new. We hope school will be similar. She had a meet and greet with her teacher on Tuesday and she is excited to be a special helper in her class. Tanner's honor society had a lock in on Wednesday where all the kids stayed at the school overnight playing night games, looking through telescopes, and other fun stuff. We cannot believe he is a sixth grader and are so proud of what a great boy he is. I am sure Eva is also excited to have some one-on-one time with mom and meet all the fun kids in both Tanner and Grace's classes.
