Meeting a Detroit Tiger Legend!

Tanner got the real pleasure of meeting a legend from one of his favorite teams, the Detroit Tigers. Tanner got to meet Denny McLain who played for the Tigers from 1963 to 1970 and he is the last major league pitcher to win 30 or more games during a season!

He was in a parade for the Three Rivers Waterfest where they were honoring Taylor. Taylor makes sure there is always room for her brother to be with her in these, as he is her 'wing man'. He is always happy to be there for her and he loves it when someone recognizes him and calls out HIS name!

He went with this sister to visit a WW11 veteran who was in the hospital. I am sure some of you will remember Lester and what he did for Taylor on Taylor's Day. He had to have some surgery, so Taylor and Tanner went up to wish him well and make him smile.

I will add more later on about the trip to Missouri for http://www.anysoldier.com/ and Tanner being REALLY enthralled by a certain Lt. Col. Mitch 'Taco' Bell!

HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER

HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER is all this family hears about from one Tanner Batten! He can't wait until July 11 for the movie to be here and July 23rd for the book. This is a hard time for Tanner as his patience has just about worn out.....he can't and I repeat CAN'T wait!

We got his report card and of course, all A's and B's. I think I am going to start asking him how to do things from now on he is so dang smart!

We are waiting for the pool to get topped off with water so he can turn into the little fish that he is. Come summer time, I have to practically drag him out of the pool, if he could sleep in there, he would. He is all ready to head to an amusement park, he LOVES roller coasters and has absolutely no fear what so ever when it comes to that stuff. Heck, he goes on rides that even the adults stand there looking at going NO WAY.

In a few weeks we are going to MO for the weekend for something for anysoldier.com and Taylor has a part in it. Tanner is actually really excited about going which really surprised me. He is talking about everything he is going to see along the way and what he wants to take pictures of already. He normally is just pretty quiet and laid back, but he is pretty excited.
