Our trip to Denver

So, Matt got a phone call last Tuesday that he needed to come to Denver on Wednesday to work with my brothers company on their project they are working on together. We decided to check the flights to see if I could go but since it was only 1 day notice we expected the tickets to be really expensive. Well, I am not sure if they were have problems filling the plane or what but the tickets were really cheap. So, Talmadge and I decided to hop on the plane with Matt and go visit my brothers and their families. We stayed with Kat and Todd, I think it was good because Kat and I kept each other company while Todd and Matt worked none stop the whole time we were there.








We went swimming at their awesome pool they have there, the kids had so much fun. The two little ones spent a lot of time at the little spray fountains.
Doesn't my little bubba look so cute in his swimming trunks!!!!!

Little Page, we got her in her PJ's in the morning, but isn't she cute!!Aubrey was not to sure about Talmadge, she thought he was all up in her space. However, he was sure getting some ideas about walking from her. She is just cruzing around and only a month older then him!
Talmadge, Aubrey and Logan right before she left for school!Cute Carter, Kat and Kennedi!
When we arrived at our gate at the airport, we found out our plane had been cancelled. We ended up being stuck in the airport for 10 hours. Nothing like trying to entertain a 1 year old in an airport for that long. Needless to say Talmadge was so tired and crashed soon as we got on the plane and slept the whole way home. Thanks you guys for such a great weekend it was so great seeing you all.

Happy Birthday Matt

This last week was Matt's birthday and I think it was a great day. We had the family over for a big superbowl party with chips and dipand all the yummies. We ate dinner had pie and had all sorts of fun. Happy 31st birthday honey!!!








For his birthday I have to put a tribute to what a great dad he is. I have to put up the cutest picture ever!!! Matt was putting up the safety stoppers to the garbage area and Talmadge wanted to be his big helper so much, so daddy gave him a tool just for himself, it was so cute!!!!!! What big strong men I have in my life!!!

TALMADGES FIRST HAIR CUT!!!
Ok, I know this has nothing to due with Matt's birthday but I had to post this. Talmadge finally got his first haircut. It only took 13 months to grow long enough hair for a haircut..........however, it was so cute, he was so curious about what Grandma was doing to the top of his head he just kept staring up at her. He did a great job for her though, and he looks like such a handsome little man!!!

Our Little Family

Life around our house!

Well, life around here has been pretty normal the holidays are over and we get to go back to just spending time together. Matt's freelance has kept him very, very busy and his regular job has as well, with this new project they are working on with my brothers company. We have been doing some fun things around here so I thought I would posts some pictures of life around here:









This was our trip to go see Great Grandma Givens, she was in town from Arizona. The kids had great fun getting to know her, Talmadge couldn't get enough of the apples and oranges as you see, and cute little Makenzie, she love the little rocking char that Grandma had.




The other day we were at Austin's basketball game and Talmadge was loving droping the mint box for Andra to pick up, he thought it was so funny!!! This is his funny little laugh, now he throws his head back and shows all his front teeth when he thinks something it really funny!


Nothing like playing around the house as a family. Talmadge loves his basketball hoop and Dinosour. I never thought spending time at home would be so much fun. But kids just make it all worth while!!

Merry Christmas

Christmas was so great this year. We started out the holiday with a pajama party at Grandma Babbitt's, she got the cutest PJ's for all the kids. They had so much fun................
Up to a certain point, then everything Talmadge tried to do he seemed to be getting hurt over. Sad little boy!!!!!!!!
Then on Christmas day we opened up presents at our house, which Talmadge loved, including his big dinosaur that we got him!! Then went over to Crystal and Drew's and hung out and had yummy food and just enjoyed the day with family, and being warm inside with all the snow outside!!! What a great Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Talmadge and Kimberly

He is 1 year old. Oh how this year has flown by. Talmadge had his 1 year old birthday party this last weekend, he let me celebrate mine on the same day to. We had family and a few friends over, ate some pizza, cake and watched movies. It was so much fun. Talmadge was quite the spaze when it came to opening up presents he was so excited he could barely contain himself!!!! He got so many from toys from everyone and is loving playing with them every day. He wasn't real sure about the cake, but had a little bit of it and enjoyed the little bit he had. However, he is not one to get his hands dirty so diving into the cake wasn't his thing. What a cute is he though!!!!!
Crystal made him such a cute cake!!!!

Meeting Santa

Talmadge got to meet Santa for the first time. We went to Matt's work Christmas party during the day and they brought in Santa. We weren't sure what he would think of him, however, Talmadge just loved him. Sat on his lap and couldn't stop playing with his beard, as you will see in the pictures with his fingers in it. Then Santa gave him a present, Talmadge was so amazed by him when we sat singing songs after with him. It was so fun to do that with him!!!!!
