Pet World Birthday Party Fun!

This is seriously THE COOLEST pet store ever! When I heard you could do parties here, I knew this was the spot for Tanner's birthday party!

They breed snakes in the back & she said it takes about a week to hatch.  We were the first to get to see these!  So cool!

 Silly boys!

 This lizard had just recently laid eggs.

 Hide & go seek in the dark!  The boys had a blast!

Look who's turning 8!

Happy birthday to my baby boy who's not such a baby anymore!

Instilling positivity & kindness

I just saw this & thought what a great post to share with my son!  These questions make you think & wanting him to think about others feelings, not just his own, I think this helps to get that conversation started & gets you thinking of ways to do just that!  Take the focus off ourselves & put it onto others.   It's actually a great reminder for us adults too!

Tanner picked out his own outfit this morning & ready to take on 2nd grade!

Just "hangin' around" before school!

My sociable little boy walking tall & proud ready to take on his first day at his new school!

This kid loves Duck Dynasty!  Even chose that for his notebook!
