Tanner is 6!

Tanner boy is six years old!  
Tanner has grown up a lot in the last year.  He loves going to school and has tons of friends.  Tanner is so easy to please.  He loves to eat.  He has such a fun personality and loves to make people laugh.
We had a friend birthday party for Tanner this year.  
We played a game where you tried to see who could stuff all their balloons in their clothes first.



Then we played Donut on a String.


Travis had a hard time not touching his.
Everyone decorated their own cupcakes, ate lunch, and sang Happy Birthday.
Tanner is such a good boy and we are grateful he is in our family.

Gotta love 90% off at Target.

Aubs and Tanner on their first day of school.
Tanner is in Kindergarten. 
Trav lasted a few weeks in Preschool.  It was really hard to get him there and back, cost too much, and he didn't really like it.  This is my last year having him home all the time and I'm loving it.
 Tanner is loving Kindergarten.  He is doing so well and he has a great teacher (Mrs. Salmon).
Aubree has an awesome teacher too.  Her name is Ms. Ng and we are adjusting to Aubs being at school all day.
Trav got a bloody nose and ended up fixing his own problem.
We have a duck pond close to our house that we love to visit.
Love how much they love each other.
In September we "celebrated" our 10 year anniversary of when we met.  That night, we told the kids our story.  Somedays, I can't believe these guys are ours.
Aunt Sara made Travis' day with her costume find.
On Andrew's 3rd Birthday we did a day of Kindness.  Eric stayed home from school and we spent the day trying to serve and love people.  We appreciate everyone who did service.  
Jared found one of his old binky's.
Eric and I got to go to the play, Wicked at the Paramount, downtown.  
Jared loves when I get out Brady's new baby toys.
Sleepover! These three know how to get what they want when Eric puts them to bed.  
Aubs and Brady Boo
One of my favorite times of the day.  


Fall

I can't believe it is already Thanksgiving time.  The last couple months have gone by way too fast.  We are moving in just over three weeks, and the time is going to fly by.
Brady is almost 8 months old.   
His smile is the sweetest.  He is getting really good at sitting up and is getting close to crawling.  
Brady is always being loved on by all of his brothers, especially Jared.

We got a Halloween box from Grandma.
Jared's getting so good on the scooter.





LOVE!

Jared LOVES puddles.

Aubs

This is my first of six posts that I uploaded the pictures for and need to get posted so I can get all caught up.  The keyboard on my laptop completely stopped working and after taking it into the Apple Store, they told me it would cost $750 to repair all the damage.  Anyways, I bought a new keyboard for $30 on Amazon and my awesome Eric was able to take apart the whole laptop and replace my keyboard.  I feel like I have a new computer and am going to get all caught up.
Right before Aubree started school we took some 1st-grade school pictures.
Love some of the poses that she chose.
Aubree is growing up way too fast.  She is 6 going on 16.  She is loving going to school and has a great teacher.  Aubree is so helpful with her brothers and is so good at helping me with Brady and Jared.

4th Year

Eric has officially started 4th year!  It is really nice to be looking back at all that Eric has accomplished and to be that much closer to being done with school.  We move in December to Nine Mile Falls (just north of Spokane) so Eric can do his last 6 months on a rotation in a rural clinic.  It will be hard to leave our great friends here.  Eric is applying to become a Dental Anesthesiologist and will be gone for most of the next couple weeks, going to his interviews.   We will find out at the end of November where he matches, so where we will go after he graduates in June.

Videos

Jared's is so cute blowing out his candles at his Crossfit friends birthday party.

Jared and Sara have a lot of videos together, but this is their favorite.
After Kara's wedding reception at the Nygard's house, Eric's Dad (in white shirt & tie) and few other men decided to have fun with the witches hat.  I actually uploaded this video to America's Funniest Home Video's and was surprised to get a call back that they were going to put it in an upcoming show.
