Taylor when he was three all he wanted to do was ride a bucking bull.
He loved to watch them on TV. A couple years passed and Then Taylor wanted to be a policeman because he liked the fact that they had computers in their cars. Carver was obsessed with Tractors.
He could watch them for hours. Hunting TAC-TORs was a past time. I used to even get calls from grandparents and friends giving me info about where they had just spotted a tac-tor in action. Carver and I were regulars on 25th street watching tac-tors install the amphitheatre. It was our little outing just the two of us. We would pull into Great Harvest grab a cookie and then go and watch all the tractors in action. Zachary also loved tractors and anything else that made a loud noise (-he was definitely a motor head).
But, Zachary had a true passion for coloring on walls with markers. He had the gift. In our old house he took a marker and drew across everything from one end to another. He even went right across a picture frame -the glass and all! To this day is the best artist in our family. I was watching Tanner talk to himself while he was playing with the hose and I thought of all the other boys and how they all had a dream when they were his age. I wondered what Tanno dreams of? I wonder if he has any Idea what he wants to become when he grows up? So I asked him. He said he wants to be a Lion.

These are great Kel. It reminds me of when I asked my mother if I could be a raccoon and she said, "OK."
That is cute beyond words. I can definitely see Tanno as a lion.

Tanner The Lion... Roar!!
If you can find a tractor w/ a barbie, stuffed animal or doll in it give us a call and me and my girls will join you. By the way, Maddie wants to be a cookie maker. That works out really well for Gracie as she is an excellent cookie eater.
