Ok, for those of you that know me WELL....you know that I'm not real shy when it comes to a few potty mouth words!

When I found out we were having a baby, Jason and I laughed at how we would have to watch our language right away so we would never be "those parents".....so I know what you are thinking now "Oh no, what did Tanner say"......and you are wrong!

At this point Tanner has not said anything bad, at least from what we know of what he's saying but lately he's been mocking us like crazy! We get a kick out of making him say funny words. We add funny words and accentuate them so those are the ones he repeats! I guess this is what Moms and Dads do for fun (at least that's what we think or hope)!!!

Another terrible habit of mine is my language while driving, it consists of "MOVE OUT OF MY WAY"...or "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" or..... "DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE?" so now I hear my mocking bird in the back saying "MOVE" or "WOW" and yelling anything else (not really sure what he's saying) as we drive down the road!

I must admit that it's pretty dang funny but I know those terrible potty mouth words will come up soon enough and we'll both feel guilty and try very hard to not say them anymore!

So hopefully there will be no blogs on the terrible words our poor son repeated but I won't be surprised!! :)

Well this weekend seemed to just FLY by!! Let's see Friday night Jason played Disc golf with a friend, then his friend and his wife and kids came over and we made pizza and played Wii! I think they left around 11pm! So we were exhausted by the time our heads hit the pillows! Tanner actually went to sleep around 9:30 or so and didn't make a peep all night!

Ok..I have to confess, I gave him his pacifier b/c I knew he wouldn't make a peep if he had it! He will stay awake for 30 minutes and just lay in his bed if I give it to him. So when he's sick or nights like that, I give in and let him have it. He still goes to bed without it almost every other night, so I don't feel to bad!

Saturday morning we went to our weekly training session for our financial company and after that I set out recruiting....I got SEVEN people!! Saturday night we went to a Greek Festival with our friends Jay and Lyndi, which is where the new video comes into play! As soon as it's done downloading it will show up on the right with the videos! I must say...TOO dang funny! I'll give you ONE guess as to what he's doing......yup...dancing!

Sunday we were a little lazy, Jason slept in for once this week (I normally get to during the week, well sleeping in consists of 8 am!!).
I had a class from 1-5 today for an exam I have to take for school next month! I ran some errands after and the came home to STUDY some more. WHile I was gone Jason did all the laundry...what a wonderful way to walk into the door, Tanner happy and content and Daddy doing the laundry, does life get any better than that?

Now things are winding down, everyone is getting ready for bed!! This week Jason will be gone for a few days so me and TanMan have to keep the house in one piece! It's always a struggle when Jason goes out of town b/c I have class so late that I have to find someone to watch Tanner. Luckily his sitter is going to do it for me this week, which is so close to the house it will make life a lot easier!

I changed my mind, here is the video here of the Greek Festival!

Ok...I don't have pictures but I hope Missy will send me some soon! My Best Friend Melissa Blair came to Oklahoma City this past weekend!!

Her husband, Dan's family lives here so they came to visit them. Missy and I see eachother about once every 3 or 4 years. Just the way our worlds work.

Anyway...Braden had his 1st birthday party on Saturday and Tanner and I went. I forgot my camera which is so unlike me! But Missy took a bunch and hopefully she will send me some SOON!! She flew back home today so I'll give her a few days!

At the party, Tanner found a new girlfriend, seriously he LOVES the ladies. Everywhere we go, he will find a pretty girl (and I say girl but they are women) and he just attachs himself to them. He wants them to hold him and play with him. I felt bad b/c the lady he choose at the party was Missy's sister-in-law Melissa. Who by the way had her 1 year old there that was sharing a party with Braden and trying to enjoy her son's birthday and Tanner just kept coming up to her bringing her toys or wanting to sit with her. I felt bad for her but he was having such a great time!!

Ok...so hopefully I can post some pictures of Tanner at Braden's birthday party!!!

So ....we are all well!! Yup, Mr. Tanner gave me his sickness and I too have been under the weather, actually that is an understatement. I had not felt that bad in I don't know how long.

So this week we have been getting out of the house, doing some shopping, some recruiting for our new careers and just living day-to-day!! We haven't done anything exciting this past week.

We do have one issue, that has been a constant area of concern, so if anyone has any great tips, I'll glady take them.
HITTING!! Yup, our precious little boy just loves to hit. I have no idea why, sometimes it seems like he does it because he's excited and other times because he's mad. We tell him "NO" or "No hitting" but nothing works! I've popped him on the butt but he now realizes that he really can't feel a thing from Mommy's spankings so he just laughs, no really he laughs when I spank him. So I've stopped doing that b/c it's a waste of time. The only thing I have found that works is making him sit down, no matter where he is if I say "SIT DOWN" he gets all mad. He'll do it but regardless, it's not helping the hitting issue.

Seriously, I can tell him "SIT DOWN, we don't hit" and he'll walk over and hit me b/c he gets mad....are you kidding me? We are hoping this is some crazy stage he's going through but it sure is annoying!!! It's just so dang frustrating!!!

On a side note: I have to admit that I love the fact that he can run around and play now. I know it's more work for me but to see him explore the world is just amazing!!!

So Tuesday morning I woke up to Tanner making a weezing sound and breathing pretty heavy. So I called Jason and we decided I would just go ahead and try to get an appointment with his doctor. Sure enough they had an opening at 11:00am. So my plan was to take him to the doctor, take him to the sitter and head to school!

So I get in the room and right away the P.A. said, he's not breathing well, we need to do a breathing treatment on him!! "WHAT!!" I was in shock, how did I not realize my little boy wasn't breathing well! He was a little clingy that morning but he was playing and running around the house like normal!

So the doctor came in and said the same thing, let's get him going now. So they came in and did a breathing treatment and he was still having a hard time....so they ended up doing two more before sending us to the hospital!! Yup...the HOSPITAL!!! I was a nervous wreck! I called Jason and he said he would meet us there and to CALM DOWN! I felt so guilty for not realizing what was really going on.

So we get to the hospital about 2pm or so and they get him hooked up to an oxygen sensor thing and then hook him up to oxygen (not fun to watch your child have a oxygen tube on his face. You know what I'm talking about, it wraps around your head and goes into your nose. It was so pathetic!

So the\ nurses called a respiratory therapist and they again start breathing treatments. Oh...and after the first one, they hauled him off to another room (with mommy and daddy in tow) to get an IV started in his arm. He was screaming and just looking at us like "why are you letting them do this to me"....it was so sad, it took all I had to not break down and cry!

So after that, he started getting better. They started pumping him with steriods and fluids and he was like a kid on crack! He slowly got better!

We stayed Tuesday night and Wednesday night and finally left about 6pm on Thursday! It was a rough week but all in all he's getting back to normal. The doctor said she thinks it was just a severe respitory infection and he just got it bad this time. We have to keep giving him the breathing treatments for about a week then we can ween him off. He's taking it like a pro, thankfully!!

So our little guy is much better today....and we hope he'll just get better as the hours tick by!! So...anyone that has to have a toddler in the hospital, I feel for you, I really do. Not only does it break your heart but they get so bored and restless that it takes all the energy you have just to help make the time pass!!!

I took pictures of him on my cell phone, I'll try and see if I can upload them, they are kinda cute!!!
