Big helper!

Jay took the Pool Table down so we could give Talen a playroom.  We have been changing things around to make it more kid friendly.  Talen loved helping put his new toy storage unit together.  

Fun in the pool!

Talen learned how to jump in the pool while we were on vacation.  He wanted to do it over and over again.  My niece Audrey liked the idea too, so Jay got his work out for the day. lol!

This is my niece totally doing a belly flop, it was so funny.

Exploring at the park

Can you find Talen?

Talen loved walking across the bridge.  

Phoenix Kids Museum

We went to Scottsdale for a week with my family.  My sister in-law told us about this amazing hands on Museum we should take the kids to.  There was so much to do that we didn't even get to do everything.  If you are ever in the area you should definitely put this on the list of things to do.   Thanks Tiff for getting us tickets to the Museum.  Here is Talen with his Auntie Heather trying to chase the flying ball. 

We put Talen in front of some Play-Doh and he wouldn't even touch it. lol!

My niece Lucy 

It was so cute, they had a little grocery store for kids to go shopping.  It had little mini shopping carts they could push around and then a check out stands where they could actually scan their groceries and put them in a bag.  Where was this when I was a kid?

So many cool things to touch and play with.

Look mom!

They had this crazy maze all made out of noodles.  There had to have been at least a thousand noodles.  Talen loved chasing after his daddy through the maze.

He didn't like it when we told him it was time to go. lol!

Talen's new thing

So these last few weeks Talen has really gotten into cars and trains.  He loves to push them around and say "choo choo!"     

Don't let this face fool you. lol!

Talen's 1st big accident

So, Talen had a pretty bad accident last night.  He was climbing up on his little chair and he fell over right on his face on the kitchen floor.  His tooth went through part of his upper lip and he chipped two of his bottom teeth.  We took him to the dentist today and he said that he will be fine.   It is amazing how different he looks with swollen lips.  I would do anything to take this pain away from him.  My heart just hurts every time I look at him and see his lips.  Jay took him outside a lot today to cheer him up.

Floating down the river

Jay's family came for the weekend and we decided to take the boys to the river.  I haven't been since I was in High School so, I forgot how fun it was and definitely forgot how COLD the water was.
