Tanner cuteness

This post is just so I can put some pictures of Tanner on that we took over the weekend. Why? Just because I think he is cute.

The outdoor man

Vance loves to be outside and the weather in Nevada was nicer than it has been here so he took full advantage of that. Stephen's cousin Jennifer has a very well-behaved dog named Jax that Vance absolutely adored! He had so much fun playing with that dog. Before the graveside service when we pulled up to Bob's house (where Jax was) Vance started saying, "Dog." Over and over. He even learned the word Jax. No one start with the "we need a dog" comments!

Uncle Bob

Stephen's Uncle Bob past away last weekend so we went down to Sparks, NV for the services this past weekend. I have a TON of pictures from this weekend so I will probably do several different posts to get them all up. I only met Bob once, but I am so glad that I was able to meet him at least once before he past away. I know his family loved and will miss him dearly. Here is a picture of the floral arrangement the nieces and nephews got and also a picture of Stephen's family minus Mandy's husband, Jake, who unfortunately wasn't able to make it.

Facial Hair

Stephen took advantage of being out of school and grew some facial hair. After three months though I think we were both getting tired of it so he shaved just before we left for Nevada. I think I prefer him clean shaven, but who really likes to kiss a hairy face? Here are the before and after pictures. What do you think?

Holding Tanner

Sometimes Vance will randomly want to hold Tanner. It hasn't happened for a long time and I don't think Tanner was terribly excited about it, but here are the pictures I snapped. Too bad you can't read Vance's shirt in the picture. It says, "I'm the big brother" Vance can't really hold Tanner because he is just too big for that now, but nonetheless this was his attempt. I have a pair of silly boys.

Outside

We have a squirrel that lives somewhere near our backyard and it is constantly coming over and hanging out. Today was the first day Vance really noticed it though. He had a great time watching it out the window. We also went outside and played for awhile today and the weather was fairly nice. Cool, but not freezing and the sun was out. Woo-hoo! Vance was telling me that his slide was stuck so we had to get it unstuck to play on it that is why he looks like he is in pain.

Pool

My parents and younger brother and sister came to visit for a couple of days while on their spring break! We had a good time with them although it was too short of a visit. Last night we bought Eric a b-day cake and celebrated his birthday with him in his apartment's lounge. They had a pool table down there and so Eric, Glen, and Rose tried their hand at pool. Vance thought it was the funniest thing in the world! He watched intently and everytime one of them hit the ball he busted a gut laughing about it. What a silly kid. He also had fun watching Eric and Glen wrestle around (brothers...). He wants to be like his uncles I think. We took a bunch of pictures of him enjoying himself.
