Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary!

On December 20th Ryan and I celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary! It's been so much fun and I fall in love with him more and more every day so I guess we will keep going:) He took me to this beautiful restaurant called La Caile and we went to a concert afterwords, so fun!







Christmas is my favorite time of the year and we are always lucky to be able to be pretty close to both our families. We went to my parents for Christmas eve and did our traditional waffle bar and then were off to Vegas! Talmage's first christmas was a true success, he is loving all his new toys.

The Lights at Temple Square

We went downtown in 25 degree weather with my family and Ry's....it was sooo cold, but very pretty!

9 Months!

He is taking steps! The most he can do is 4 right now but we can't believe he's almost walking!

Check out this sweet blazer Grandma Christensen got for Talmage

Talmage loves his inflatable bath tub

Talmage's first Thanksgiving!  We think he's thankful for food. We're thankful for him.

In cali we took christmas card pictures and they all turned out so cute!


Does Ryan have the cutest mom and sisters or what??

Vacation in So-Cal!

So my extremely fun/gracious in-laws took us to Southern California.  We hit Disneyland, Sea World, and the beach!   It was so fun to be there with all of our family and Talmage LOVES his cousins.

Happy Halloween!

So Talmage and I decided to be Darth Vader and Princess Leia for Halloween. His cousin Jefferson was Yoda, we were REALLY cool.  I'm going to dress up with him every year until he doesn't think it's cool anymore...we'll see how long it lasts :)

Mama Mia!

So my mom came to Jersey to help me pack so we of course took a girl's trip to New York with Hollie and went and saw the musical and then went to Ellen's Stardust Diner when it was over. It was so fun!!

My two favorite boys...

Talmage's new trick, pulling himself up on furniture!

I'm so lucky!!

One more month in Jersey!

He smiles all the time...just like his Dad!

(I think he was playing with my hair, I don't normally look this disheveled, promise)

Our little place here seems to get smaller and smaller as Talmage gets faster! We are getting anxious to go back to our house and see all our friends! I am a little nervous though about how he will take it, to him this apartment is his home!! We will see... but did I mention I love Utah??

6 Months!

So, Talmage is mobile now and I can't decide if it's a good thing... He's quite the expert at the army crawl, he can go anywhere he wants!

Can you tell he loves to eat??

5 months! Talmage's First photo shoot

Okay, so we decided to get some real pics taken of munchkin and it went really well, he smiled in every shot! He was such a cute little poser!
