I was told by one of my peeps that I never show my two older kids and only focus on the two younger ones so I'll try and do better by posting more of all. Happy Cyndi? ;o)
The joys of having a teenager. May everyone be so blessed to endure this lovely time! Actually Tanner is quite the passive child who has never really given his family much grief. At least not yet or what I haven't seen or heard. Here's a brief bio of my older boy.
Tanner (Paul as he chooses to be called now) was born August 13, 1993 at a whopping 9lbs. and 1 oz. He was a breached baby so he was born by cesarean. Tanner was always very imaginative as a child and kept himself busy by playing with his imaginary friends. At one time he was the proud owner of 25 rabbits. We didn't know that once a rabbit gives birth they mate immediately. Tanner loves to go camping with his family and has been to Disneyland every year of his life. (Sad, I know).
When Madison was born he didn't want to go to the hospital to see mom or his new sister, but wanted to ride the roaster coaster (roller coaster). When we brought Madison home he ran away ...only to the neighbors and only for 15 minutes. He was a big help with his sister and was very protective of her. When his other siblings came along he had great practice of being a big brother. He's always been a baby lover and is the first to want to hold and cuddle the new babies.
Tanner just finished his freshman year at Shadow Ridge and loves high school. He has attended the following schools: Saville MS, Guy ES, McWilliams ES, and Gilbert ES. He also attends early morning seminary. When Tanner started first grade he went to a magnet school and got to ride the bus. On the first day of school the bus didn't drop him off and no one knew where he was. Finally, we found out that he was on a bus just the wrong one and he was dropped off at 7 pm. He never rode the bus again.
Tanner loves the computer, all of his electronic mumbo jumbo things, swimming, riding his bike, going camping, hunting with his dad, paintball, watching movies, and hanging out with his family and friends. He enjoys scouts and is looking forward to going to scout camp this summer.
He's now on an exercise kick and has been weight training at school and working out at home. He's hit a growth spurt and is now tall, thin, and good looking. He gets to go and work with his dad this summer and earn some extra money. He's very excited to have his own cash.
Did you know--Tanner has had 4 broken arms, a broken thumb, and a broken toe? Not from me of course!!!
Tanner is a great kid who is a huge helper in our household of younger siblings. I would love to see him have more patience with his sisters, but he does okay. We love the kid dearly and couldn't imagine life without him.

Can't believe he's almost 15! He looks so dapper in his dress clothes. Very future missionary-like. BTW, I left you a prestigious award on my blog - yes, another tag...you can thank me later hee hee!
