New Adventures

So we have been starting some new adventures here at the Stevens house. The first would be moving our little boy into a big boy bed!!!!!We weren't planning on moving him until next month. However, when we were over at my sister and he was in the porta crib, the side clasped and he was able to crawl out, which gave him the brilliant idea of "why can't I do this in my crib" Needless to say it only took us one more day to figure out the crib was not going to work anymore whatsoever.
It started out really rough, taking about 2 hours to put him to bed because he thought he needed to crawl out of this too. However, after 2 weeks of working with him, and wanting to bang our head against the wall, I am proud to say that we are down to 15 minutes putting him to bed. And he loves his bed!!!!!! My little boy all grown up!!!!Second bit of news. Kimberly has started a new job. My sister and brother-in-laws company, Exel Driving, is expanding and in need of new employees. So, I have opted to work for them 2 nights a week and be a driving instructor. Yes, a little scary in the car with 14 and 15 year olds however, it is great hours, pay and obviously a great company to work for. It's fun to get out of the house for a little bit each week and be a professional.
Well that is all the news for now. More posts to come soon.

Merry Christmas

This year we got to go up to Vancouver and spend Christmas with Matt's family. It was great fun because everyone in his family was able to make it. We were able to do lots of fun things while we were there and Talmadge had a great time getting to know his cousins. We took family pictures there which turned out great I think.How cute is this little boy!!!!

We had lots of time to hang out and play with cousins and Aunts and Uncles.Talmadge and Uncle Adam and Uncle Nick being awesome enough to push around Talmadge in the car. Talmadge and Trey. Only one week apart in age.All of us girls making some dinner.We to all make our own ginger bread houses. Each family had their own. Lots of fun. We even got to celebrate Talmadge and my birthdays with some shopping, brownies and ice cream!!!

Christmas eve was really nuts, we all stayed up till about 3am wrapping presents. We were having a lot of fun and when the kids all woke up about 7am it was early but so awesome. Opening up presents was really crazy with 5 grandkids under the age of 4 however, we got it done in a couple of hours and watching the kids play with their toys was so much fun. The new PJ's Talmadge got on Christmas eve from Santa's Reindeer.And we must not forget to pay to tribute to the many many hours of Beatles rock band that was played all week long and lots on Christmas day!!.!!

Thanks Stevens for a fabulous Christmas and letting us stay at your house Talmadge and us loved all of it. We miss you guys already!!!!!
