Happy Birthday Talon (again) and a trip to Salt Lake

For Talons Birthday this year we decided to go celebrate with some family in Salt Lake. We took off the day after his actual Birthday and partied until it was time to come home on Sunday! On Friday it was my brother-in-law Jareds 30th surprise Birthday party. Then on Saturday we went to another party before it was time for Talons party that night. We had such a nice time with our family and friends that were able to make it. Talon dug right into his cake and loved every minute of it. He got some great gifts as well. What a great time we had as usual!! Thanks everyone!

Happy Easter (a little late)

Even though this was technically Talons second Easter with us, I still want to count it as his first because he actually got to participate this time. Although his idea of coloring eggs was eating them, he still had a lot of fun finding the ones that mom and dad colored for the Easter Bunny. We had a very nice day just relaxing and listening to Conference and celebrating Easter.

Happy Birthday Talon!!

I just want to say Happy Birthday to my baby boy! He will be 1 year old tomorrow. Time has flown right by. A few fun things about Talon right now:

He has 5 teeth

In this last year he has already had 6 haircuts

He is still not walking on his own but loves to hold my hand to walk

His favorite toys right now are balls of any kind and his little 4-wheeler

His best friend is Charlie

He is a mommy's boy all the way

He loves to wrestle with his dad and lights up whenever dad is around

I sure love this boy and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us next.

Happy 24th Birthday

Sunday was my 24th Birthday. For those that know me, my birthday is a big deal to me so I was a little bit weary that it was on a Sunday this year and I didn't have any family around. But to my surprise my birthday was fantastic. My boys sure know how to take care of me. Josh had decorated the whole house with streamers and balloons and a banner and they made me a delicious breakfast. Then I got to enjoy a leisurely bath before church started. We had a bbq and cake and presents and all around a good time. Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes! Can't believe I am already 24 though.

Weekend Getaway to SLC

A couple of weekends ago Talon, Charlie, and I headed off to Salt Lake for the weekend for a visit with family. It was so nice to see them all again. We had a great time as usual! While we were there we: celebrated my birthday at Leatherby's, went to a friends wedding, went shopping, hung out, played games and had a great time. Thanks!!

Has anyone seen my baby??

I seem to be missing a baby. Now in his place is a little boy, I feel like more and more he is getting so big! It seems to me when he was just a tiny baby and didn't do much I kept thinking I can't wait until he can be more independent and we can interact with him more. Now that he is there I find myself missing my tiny baby sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love love where he is now I love the interaction and the laughs. I just find myself wondering where the time has gone? If a year passes this quickly then it will be no time before he starts school and graduates and goes on a mission and gets married, etc. So I find myself giving me a pep talk today as I write this that I will stop and enjoy more of the little moments with him and stop worrying so much about the things that don't matter. Life is too short!

January and half of February 2010

Well time flies when you are having fun! We are now settled in our new place in St. George and I love it here. I feel right at home and it really helps that there is no snow and the weather is so nice. We have been just working hard on getting settled, we love our new ward and have already made some great friends. Josh is playing Basketball with the guys and I am going to a play group with ladies in the ward. This last weekend some of my family came for a visit due to the Presidents Day holiday. We had a blast as usual. Some of the things we enjoyed doing were: Parade of Homes, going to the park, Girls Night, games, games, and more games!! Time flew by and they are gone already. I am looking forward to seeing all my family next month when we come for a visit. Now that I have my camera cord situation figured out I should be able to post pictures more often of all you fans of my baby boy, because lets face it that is really what the pictures are of. Speaking of Talon, he is turned into quite the charmer and a troublemaker. He knows how to work mom and dad to get what he wants. He is also finally getting some teeth. He decided to get 4 at once, two on the bottom and two on top. It is adorable! Anyway, I hope you had a great January and half of February!

Is that a bracelet in your ear??

Talon loves the park and cannot get enough of it.

I had to get a pic of the cousins in the bath. SO CUTE

He has turned into a full blown troublemaker

Who can resist this cute little smiling face??
