When people see my oldest child, they first ask "What are you feeding that kid" and then they ask if he plays football. At 6' 2" and 280 lbs, and sporting a full beard, most people don't believe it when they find out he is only _____(insert age). He looks older than he is and one day I'm sure he will look his age. But for now, he carries his driver's license on dates to prove his age to worried parents of the girls he dates.
This year is his senior year in high school. Man, I can't believe it. I just graduated, how did this happen? I know everyone says that but seriously, wasn't it just last weekend that I was spending Saturday nights at the Pie Pizzeria with my friends?

| Tanner is the big kid sandwiched in the middle on the white team seen here blocking so the QB can get through. He was playing Center. |
Here's to a great year of growing up and getting older! I'm going to enjoy him in my home while I still can.
