The past month!

So since I last posted (which was a long time ago!) lots has happened! These aren't exactly in chronalogical order, but this is how our last 5 weeks have been.

We went to Idaho to get our Christmas tree. This was Talan's first time being bundled up and being out in the snow. There wasn't very much snow, but it was way stinkin cold! He had lots of fun playing with Josh and Trevin(who wasn't so happy to be there) and thanks to daddy, Talan got to ride in a sled with the other two boys!

I just really loved this picture! Pretty much sums up how our days go.

Birthday cake and Grandma and Grandpa Tammie's, Talan shares his birthday with Grandpa! We celebrated Talan, Grandpa and Trevin's birthdays because they are so close together.

Birthday cake and Grandma and Grandpa Deb Deb's house. He LOVED it!

He loved opening presents! Once he figured out how to rip open the paper he had a ball! Now he thinks that all presents need to be opened....including the ones under my tree!

Talan learned to walk! Such a big milestone in his life! He still isn't very good at it, but he indeed can walk from place to place!

Nikki and Daniel got married, I did lots of the flowers and if I might say so, it was beautiful! Trevor's cousin mandy helped me out and we made a good team!

Ok, this was clear back in October when my sister Mandy came to visit, but while she was here we celebrated all our mine and my siblings birthdays. It was lots of fun to all be together!

It's Halloween Time!

This year for Halloween we decided to all be penguins. Talan has had his costume since before he was even born, so Trevor and I thought we should match him. I don't have pictures of the three of us yet, but here are some of Talan at his photo shoot at Hee Haw Farms.

Family Pics

Getting all three of us looking at the camera was quite a challenge, let alone all of us smiling. We had a good time getting these taken and I'm glad its finally done! I've wanted to get family pictures taken for such a long time. Thanks Ashley!

Naughty, Naughty, Naughty

Late Saturday night I was busy getting things ready for family pictures and walked into Talans room to find he thought he needed to clean out his drawer where I keep all of his outfits.....such a little stinker.

Even when I fall asleep I won't let go of my bottle!
I love to stand up in my crib! Its so fun!

I know, I'm super cool.

I love to splash!!!!

Quick

I've been really bad about blogging lately. Sorry! A quick update on whats going on in our lives. Talan is currently standing up in his crib grunting aka-pooping and smelling up the room very quickly. Lucky Mommy....
Other than that he is crawling everywhere and getting into everything! He loves that he is mobil now and he follows me everywhere I go. At least now he doesn't throw a complete fit when I leave the room, he just comes too and now I have to get used to tripping over him. We love being home together! Trevor is still at the pipe plant. Who the heck knows when they will actually shut the place down. Hopefully not for a while. As for me, I got my floral design license so I can get flowers at wholesale and sell them myself. I'm hoping that little business will pick up and I can start making some money from home.

Update!

Lots has happened since I last posted....After we got home from Twin Lakes, my family came down for Strawberry Days! We had so much fun. We went to Hogle Zoo that Wednesday morning, then that night we went to the rodeo and boy did we get WET! It rained the whole time, but we had lots of fun anyways! We love to go every year. We were a little bummed that it was so cold because we didn't get to take Talan. We were so excited for him to go to his first rodeo....My mom was nice enough to keep him and Shara's little guy Trevin at my house while the rest of us went.

After Strawberry Days I went to Girls Camp the next week. I had such a hard time leaving Talan and Trevor for 4 days! I've never left Talan for more than a couple of hours, so 4 days was very very hard for me! We went to Flaming Gorge in southern UT and it was actually lots of fun! We went cliff jumping, rafting and then hiked to a cave. It rained the whole day of the hike so we were very miserable the whole time, but when we returned to camp it was all worth it! I was so happy to get home to my boys!

The week after Girls camp was the 4th of July. Talan and I went to Idaho to spend it with my family and Trevor went camping with his. We had a blast! We went to the parade in the morning then to my Grandpa's for a BBQ that night. After the BBQ we watched to fireworks in my Grandpa's alley way behind his house. I love the 4th in Idaho! I was supposed to go home the following monday, but due to stuff that kept getting in the way of my return, I stayed and extra week with my mom. I love her! Talan and I had a great time with her.

This last weekend we had a reunion on my side of the family so my mom came down for that. It was so fun to see her again!

Talan LOVED riding the 4-wheeler with Papa! Everytime Talan would get whiney, I handed him to my dad I said take him for a ride!
