All things Talmadge

Talmadge has had a fun little time around here. First the weather has finally been getting nicer and feeling like spring around here. So, it finally was time to pull out the BBQ set that he got from Matt's parents clear back from his birthday. And oh man can I tell you the kid can not seem to get enough of it. The first day I opened it that is all he played with from start to finish. Since then he makes sure to play with it every single day!!!!! He loves acting like dad and BBQing.Thank you Nanna and Grandpa, this a quite a hit!!!!!!

Also, due to the new arrivals coming soon, we had to change Talmadge rooms. So we made him, what I think is the cutest Mickey Mouse room. He is really excited about it and loves playing in his room now. We put stars all up on the ceiling for him to stare at at night and he thinks they are pretty cool. Here are some pictures.

Happy Easter

Easter was so great this year. I am sorry for the amount of pictures but I always have a hard time picking and choosing on holidays, so this was best I could do.This is the first year Talmadge actually got the whole searching for Easter eggs, it made for such a great weekend. First we started out by the weekend before Easter our Ward had an Easter egg hunt at the church. He was just so proud of himself. Must excuse the cuts on his nose he took a nice face plant at a playgound just the day before. Then for real Easter weekend we got to have the Stevens in town. It was so great to see them, didn't take Talmadge long at all to warm up to all of them. We got to have his parents and 2 brothers to stay with us.Talmadge could not get enough of Grandpa, bring him book after book and game after game. I think, Grandpa has found a life long buddy!!!Nanna was great enough to play the Wee with him. And we can all guess what came Talmadge wanted to play over and over. Basketball!!!!!He loved playing the iphone with Uncle Nick. And drawing with Uncle Adam on his computer.

For Easter day we went over to my sisters for a little while and did an Easter egg hunt with all the kids. Talmadge had a blast and so did Makenzie and Andra. I am so glad that he has cousins around to do things like this with. It makes the world a great place. Grandma was great enough afterward to sit and help Talmadge short through all of his candy and start to eat all his chocolate, he was in seventh heaven. Just had to post this picture, what a cute picture of Mason and Grandma.After that we went back to our house and had a great Stevens family Easter dinner. (PS - I will post a better prego picture of myself later not sure this is the most flattering. But I am really starting to show as you can see)This is the awesome sweater vest Grandpa and Nanna got Talmadge for Easter, he didn't get to wear it to church because it was General Conference but he got wear it a few days latter to a wedding reception we went to. Isn't he just about the biggest stud ever!!!!
It was a great holiday. I know I say this with every holiday, but it is so true. Kids make holidays so much funner and worth while!!!!!!
