Phoenix Photo Dump

I seriously am lacking any motivation to blog. I get all these ideas lined up in my head on things to talk about and then when Tanner's nap time comes around I have other things to do.  Or I just want to hang out and do nothing for an hour.  

So I'm going to post this real quick and then get some lunch and veg out in front of the TV until Tanner wakes up.  Honesty is good, right? ;)

He was SO excited to be on a plane and see other planes taking off from his window! He was such a good boy on the plane! His first words when he got into the terminal in Phoenix, "WOW!".

This is probably more funny to me than it really is.  Tanner had barely slept all day after waking up at 4:30 central time. We were on out way to lunch after leaving the airport and nightmare that is the Phoenix rental car center.  We were hoping Tanner was sleeping in the car.  And since he is still rearfacing and we didn't have the car mirror in the rental, I turned my camera on and tried to peek at him to see if he was sleeping. He obviously wasn't. Ha! (You can see how tired he was though) 

Being an East coast southern girl, I have never had In-n-out.  So we had to stop to see  what the big deal was and why everyone loves these burgers.  It wasn't too bad.  A little greasy. I like five guys better!

Other than being hot, Arizona is kind of pretty.  Tanner loved the rocks everywhere.

Adorable little church our friends were married in!

Twins

Handsome ring bearer!

Probably my favorite picture of the vacation.

Petting zoo at the zoo.  Can you tell we were the only ones there?

Feeding the giraffe!

Someone took off with the stroller.

Feeding the catfish and swans.

Ready to go for another ride!

Vacation Part 4/4 (St. Pete Beach)

We visited St. Pete beach while we were in Tampa.  Tanner has been to the ocean before, but he slept through it the whole time in an Ergo baby carrier.  This was his first time actually experiencing it.  I sure hope our next base is on the coast.  We have a major water baby on our hands!

(Picture heavy!)

"What is this?"

"SO COOL!"

Tasty?

Blowing kisses to Memaw

He loved being swung around.

Trying to get his foot prints

Sweet little man fell asleep!

I love this picture!

Vacation Photo Dump Part 2/4 (Christmas Day)

I apologize in advance, I shouldn't have waited until that night to bite the bullet and shoot pictures in automatic.  So the lighting in the majority of the pictures are terrible.  But that's fine, the memories are still there! :)

Christmas day we spent time with Nick's side of the family.  We had a mini Christmas at his mom's house in the morning, followed by another Christmas at Tanner's great grandma's house  and great, great grandma's house!  And that night we visited Tanner's great grandpa's house for more Christmas!

Tanner's absolutely favorite animal!  He LOVES dogs! Buddy was a trooper!

Opening presents with Daddy.

Baby steals daddy's drink, daddy decorates baby's head.

Quality time with Uncle Don!

I really like this picture! I'm so sad it's over exposed!

Tanner with his great, great grandma!

Great grandpa!

LOVE THIS PICTURE! Tanner with his...great great uncle? My mother-in-law's uncle Bud. Such a sweet picture!
