Arizona Grand Resort

So, for my Spring Break we went to a sweet resort in Phoenix that had a water park inside it. It was so much fun, Talmage went nuts in the water splashing all over.  The only tricky part was getting him out of the water!

He turned 1!

Since he is cute as a bug, that was the theme:)







Today is the big day, Talmage turned 1.  We celebrated it in style with all his cousins (thank you all for coming!!) at the Kangaroo Zoo (a fun place with lots of blow up toys and slides).  And Talmage, thanks for being soo much fun, we love you! 

Fat Lip

He was running around the petting zoo once again and fell...he cried but stopped quickly when Ry took him to pet a cow....  As you can see he forgot about it quickly :)

It's a pirate party!

Talmage's cousins had a sweet bday party, we all enjoyed being in true pirate character

Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo

Since we live a mile away and have an annual membership we get to go here a lot, Talmage LOVES it.  He especially loves petting the animals, so cute!

First Haircut!

                     After!

So, the mohawk was getting a little long so we decided to take him to this super cute kids' haircutting place called "Cookie Cutters". He got to sit in a car, watch a movie, go down a slide, and got a balloon when he was done.  It was quite cute.

(BEFORE)- Check how long it is!

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 :)
