Las Vegas

Yesterday for our company party we got to go to Vegas for dinner and a show called Tournament of Kings. This show plays at the Excalibur. What a great show it was. I have never been to anything like it with the jousting and sword fights. It was so much fun! My favorite part was to see how Talon was reacting. He kept clapping and laughing and pointing at the knights on their horses. This is something we would definitely go back and do again.

3 years plus more

Josh and I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We went to Texas Roadhouse and to see Killers (the movie was pretty good). We had a lot of fun and we can't wait to go on our trip in September. We decided to go to Cabo for a week in September. So something fun to look forward to. In other things going on around here, we love Summer and all the fun things to do. Talon is getting bigger and more independent by the day! He wants to feed himself all the time which usually ends in a huge mess, he doesn't want to hold my hand when we walk he has to do it himself, he loves to get into things he shouldn't and I frequently come into the kitchen to see him sitting on a dining chair at the table trying to be a big boy. He makes me laugh so much I can't even imagine what he will be doing when he can talk. We love having our roommie Becky with us too. We don't ever want her to leave! That has been life for us lately.







Happy "Birthday"

This year for Josh we decided to celebrate his half birthday instead of on his actual birthday because it is so close to Christmas and because he has always wanted a Summer birthday. Unfortunately this year it fell on a Sunday so we weren't able to do much but we still had so much fun. We had delicious food and presents and a cake. So Happy "Birthday" Josh we love you!

What we have been up to lately...

We have been sick at our house for almost two weeks now! Everyone in our household has taken turns being sick for the last two weeks and all of us at the same time for a short time. It is ranging from ear infections, to sinus infections, to flu symptoms. It has been a very long two weeks!! When everyone is feeling better I think I will Lysol the whole house down. Before all this sickness came, we had such a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. I had most of my family here to visit us and we had so much fun. We went swimming and shopping and played games and laughed and cried and had a grand old time. So thanks for coming to visit! In the meantime we will all just work on getting better now.

Tis The Season

I love baseball season! I just can't think of anything much better than a summer night spent at a baseball game. Right now though I can think of one thing better........spending the night at a baseball game and meeting a super cute celebrity! I met James Denton from Desperate Housewives, he plays Mike Delfino. It was a pretty great night.


Talon loved the game. He kept trying to climb the fence so he could get a better view. He must get my love for this game. And the best part of this all is the tickets were super cheap. We all got in for $6. We will most definitely be doing this more often.

This was the first pitch of the game thrown by James

Talon wasn't so sure about the mascot


I realize I look awful in this picture but I only posted this as proof and I am hoping people aren't even looking at me!

Tell me this isn't the cutest thing ever!

Good News and even Better News!!

Well good things are happening for us lately. Josh just got a new job doing Web Design and he loves it. That has been a blessing for us. But I have some good news! Talon is finally walking!! It is the cutest little thing I have ever seen. I know with walking comes a whole new terror phase, but bring it on! His whole face lights up when he knows that he just walked from mom to dad and then to mom again. Love that boy!


And in even better news.......we won $2500 to put towards a trip of our choice from Applebees. I have NEVER won a thing before in my life so this was quite a shock to me. So we are so excited to take a dream vacation soon. I would love some suggestions as to where we should go because I have not traveled much. I am thinking something tropical so suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

The Many Faces of Talon

One of the things I love most about Talon is that he is very expressive. He doesn't leave a lot of room for question about how he feels about something. I have tried to capture some of his many faces. There are just too many to get but I feel like this gives a good idea.
