And the moral of the story is...

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO TO VA. BEACH! ha...Well, unless, youre into makeshift pizza buffets out of camping chairs, funnel cakes on the beach, jello wrestling..that sort of thing!

It's D-Day...as Kris calls it!...

Today, we have been happily (most of the time..ha) married for 8 years....(8 Loooooonnnnng years as Kris claims)...I cannot imagine being married to me...i am probably the biggest pain in the ass, high maintenance wife out there....ie...i HAVE to have my diet dr. peppers in the 20 ounce bottles, no cans, not ice and 2 liters...yep, a royal pain in the ass! I just think mom and dad are still shocked that there was someone out there who would have me..ha! really! So, congrads Kristoff for putting up w/me...he deserves it! I am in hiding in a hotel room in Richmond, VA ...sittin on my butt watching the today show, going to movies...doing WHATEVER i want and it is great! anyway...Happy Anniversary to Us!

Summer Camp Bound?...Or not?...

hmmm probably not....I have approximately one week to interest Henry & Hildy in the potty as they have to be potty trained to go to Thackston Summer Camp! AHHHHH...Don't they just look soooo interested..ha! If I were a bettin' woman, I think I'd put my money on Hildy...wouldnt ya say? If anyone has a quick solution pls fill me in! Kris & I are off to Virginia Beach for the week and so they will be at nana's so maybe, just maybe shell whip em' into shape! No pressure mom! They are cute in undies though arent they? Henry wants to wear his backwards so he can see the "wacecars". I think Lulu's are on backwards in the pic too..they look skin tight but i think it's cause they are on wrong..ha!

The First Whiny Tanner...

Oh my gosh! Kris and I cannot handle whiners! And now it looks like we got one! It drives us NUTS because all the other tanners are rough and tough! It is a good thing this child is GORGEOUS (probably shouldnt say that since she's mine..but heck she is!) bc she is a full blown WHINER! She hangs on my leg all day and whines! Love her to death but she's gonna have to "toughen up" to survive this chaos..ha! Haydn & Nana put up w/Lulu's whining bc they are both obsessed w/this child..ha! It's strange how Hadly & Henry are 2 peas in a pod and play together all the time and Haydn & Hildy are close? I would have thought it would be the other way around?? Any one know how to break a whiner?...Let me know!

We made it!...

through our first movie ....well, we had taken them before but i ended up leaving w/the babies...so this was the first time we got to stay till the credits rolled! monumental moment as this is one of my favorite family pastimes! I think it is because i can just sit and not chase everyone around wondering which people they talk to are pedofiles! Yes, i am a tad bit paranoid and always survey the situation before putting myself w/4 kids in it..ha! I think i get this from my paranoid dad! Anyway, they were soooo adorable watching Shrek! Henry ate enough candy to kill someone! Poor little Hildy lou couldnt hold down the seat bc she is such a tiblet...but two ton Henry didnt have that problem..ha! Amazingly, nothing funny happened to mention..just cute and fun. I think Kris and I were just waiting for all hell to break loose and make a quick exit throught the emergency doors..ha! Oops, and i almost forgot if anywone NEEDS the jeans, glow in the dark skull/crossbone Punk Kid tees, or Mogan and Milo skull/crossbone vans that are to die for cute you can get them at www.thewhiteballoon.com! Had to get that in..ha!
