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.

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.
