Happy Birthday Tallin!!!

January 10th was Tallin's 2nd Birthday. We had a little birthday celebration with Travis and Michelle, and Justin and Adrienne and their kids. We had cake and ice cream, and Tal got more presents than he needed.

Opening Presents

Who would have thought that a 2 year old would be so excited to get a shirt?!
Tallin loved to play with this toy at Travis and Michelle's house. It drives Riley absolutely nuts. So of course they thought it would be funny to give it to Tal for his birthday! Thanks guys!
The Gilberts gave Tallin this cute spud buds set. It is like Mr. Potato head only this guy has friends. Corn and Carrot. It is so cute, Tallin loves it.
Tallin loves to play with my Vacuum so I thought what better to get him than his own vacuum. He loves it.

He was taking vacuuming very seriously. The kids started throwing wrapping paper all over and he started yelling at them. He would say duys top it, i ceanin'. It was hilarious!

After giving up on the vacuuming Tal decided to play the Wii with his cute stuffed puppy that Travis and Michelle gave him. We love you Tallin and hope you had a great Birthday. You are such a blessing in our lives!

Tykin's New Job

Tykin got himself a job feeding calves. He has to do it every morning at 6:00 and every night around 4:30. I thought that he would only be gung ho for about the first day, but he has actually surprised me. He bought himself an alarm clock with some Christmas money he got, and he gets up to it faithfully every morning! It is so cute to see him being responsible. I think this will be really good for him!

Taytlie and Tallin love it when they get to go out and help Tykin!( Not that you would think so by the look on Tayte's face)

Well I guess we know why Tykin likes Taytlie to go out to help him!

Sledding

We took the kids out sledding the other day on the new sleds they got from Santa. Riley pulled them around behind the four Wheeler for hours. They had so much fun!

I even got to get in on the fun ( I guess) Here I am all ready to go.


And here I am after my dear sweet hubby pulled me through the biggest fluffiest pile of snow you have ever seen. Thanks hun! ( Just for the record that is ice frozen all over in my hair)

Christmas Morning

The kids were so excited when they saw that Santa came to our house! I am pretty sure his sleigh tipped over in our living room! The kids got spoiled as usual!

Taytlie loved here cupcake maker that she decided was the only thing she wanted at the last minute!

When Tallin layed his cute little eyes on his new truck he didn't care about any thing else! Except the stocking full of chocolate of course!

Tykin was just thrilled about everything!

Riley got a new co2 B.B. gun that he was pretty excited about! I got a new air compressor and a finish nail gun, I am soooooo excited! We hope everyone had a merry Christmas, I know we did!

Christmas Tree

The kids were so excited to set up and decorate the christmas tree this year!

Even Tallin was getting in on the decorating or undecorating if you will!
