Hogle Zoo

For my 30th birthday...yes I'm now officially 30, I just wanted to spend a day with my 2 favorite guys (Cameron & Talmdage). Since Cameron is gone so much with work and school it was a perfect gift. I decided that a day at the zoo would be so much fun. Talmadge just loves animals and had a blast! When we stopped for a minute to eat a bite for lunch, Talmadge just couldn't sit still. He wanted to keep looking at all the animals. He was so much fun! We kind-of built it up for him since we kept telling him that we were going to go to the zoo. So everyday before we went, Talmadge kept asking if we were going to go to the zoo. Talmadge loved it so much that for a few day after we went he kept telling us that he wanted to go back. In fact he told me the other day that he wants to go to the zoo with Jackson so will have to plan a day. What a fun birthday celebration!!

Kissing Cars

So, I've mentioned how Talmadge has a big imagination but this is hilarious. One night before we were going to put Talmadge to bed we went out to the living room to clean up his toys when I found his cars formed in a "T" shape. I asked him what his cars were doing and he told me, "kissing". How funny is that!!

Easter

Easter morning started out with an egg hunt. Talmadge had a blast finding all the eggs that were hid in our living room and in his bedroom. In fact he loved it so much that even up to today he still has me hide eggs so he can find them.

After he found all his eggs he opened them which mainly contained candy with a few that had coins inside. Once all the eggs were emptied we had him open up a few presents. Talmadge loves the movie "Cars" by Disney so we got him more cars to add to his collection. He also received bubbles and sidewalk chalk.

That afternoon we went to Cameron's Grandma Sommers' house and had another egg hunt and dinner. It was fun to see his family and catch up with every one's life. Talmadge especially liked running around with the bigger kids. He runs with them just like he is as big and as old as they are. These kids are about 5 years old but he doesn't care. He like to be with them and play just like them.

Hungry Animals

One day Talmadge was playing with his toy animals and he had a dental floss packet under each animal. When I asked him what his animals were doing he told me they were hungry so he was feeding them. He cracks me up. At that same time he was going through a phase where he wanted his animals to eat at the table with him. He would pretend that they were eating and drinking from his food and drink. What an imagination my little 2 year old has!!

Bowling

Earlier in March we went bowling with Cameron's brothers' and sister's family while they were in town. This was the first time Talmadge bowled and he absolutely loved it. He enjoyed the fact that he could push the bowling ball down the ramp and watch it roll down the alley in pursuit of a pin. After about 8 rounds he was starting to get tired and bored with the process so Cameron finished up his game. We all had a blast and loved watching Talmadge experience his first ever game of bowling.

Red Hat

Talmadge went through a phase where he loved wearing this red hat. He called it his Santa Hat and we couldn't take it off him. He would do everything in it. Play, eat, go outside, you name it he was probably doing it with the red hat. It was so cute to watch him grow so attached to this hat.

Potty Training

I've been trying to potty train Talmadge and as you can tell by this picture, he is only interested in putting his underwear on his head. He think they are a hat. One day soon we will get potty training down but for now I'm just letting him have fun.

Let It Snow!!

This winter we had a TON of snow. The following pictures were taken from our 1st snow sledding experience of the season.

Talmadge loved playing in the snow and absolutely had to have a ball of snow with him in the sled.

Christmas Morning

COOKIES!!!

We had a great time making Christmas Cookies. Talmadge was such a big helper and loved eating our finished product. In fact we were so zealous with our cookies that we made enough to feed a neighborhood. It took us weeks to get rid of them but we did and luckly they still tasted fresh.
