Talon

Talon

Talon is growing up so fast. He is enjoying being a big brother very much. He is always wanting to hold Jaxon and helping me out with Addison. He is such a big help for me. He will be starting pre-school at the end of this month. It's crazy to think about him starting kindergarten next year. Talon has been very busy this summer with swimming lessons and gymnastics. I think the highlight of his summer though was when his cousin markell came to visit him from utah.

Talon is always in the garage pretending to be working on something. Everytime Colby needs a tool and can't find it Talon is the one he asks where it is and most of the time he knows. # 1 big brother. Talon loves holding Jaxon. You will always see him on the couch holding him. It's the only place he's aloud to hold him.

Jaxon

Jaxon is 12 weeks old. At his 2 month checkup he weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces He is growing so fast. He is so much fun. He's smiling a lot now and he will laugh at Talon. He thinks Talon is really cool.
He still loves to cuddle in his blanket from Grandma Renee. I'm so glad she made him a blanket to cuddle in. If he's anything like Talon his blanket will go everywhere with him.

Talon And Addi thought it would be fun to put him in Addi's baby stroller so I put him in there. I didn't let them push him around. Although the really wanted to.

Jaxon 7 weeks old

Jaxon is 7 weeks old I can't believe how fast time goes by. It seems like the more kids we have the faster time goes. He is so fun. A lot of work to. He loves to be held. I am so grateful for my sling or I would never get anything done. He has bad sleeping habbits he wants me to hold him while he sleeps also. During the night I often wake up with a sore arm but atleast I'm getting sleep. Isn't he so cute he is smiling now. we have to try really hard to get one out of him still. No free one's yet.



Isn't he precious I love when they sleep. They always look so sweet.


Talon and Addison never had cheeks like his.




A Day Out With Thomas

This train was one of the rides they had there for the kids. Colby was going to ride with Addison but the only adult cart was already taken so he tried to have Addison wait until the next one was available but she threw a fit so he decided to let her go by herself. We thought she would get scared once they drove away and she could not see us anymore but she didn't. She loved the ride and didn't care that Colby and I were no where to be seen.
The kids loved to go to each station they had at the day out with thomas. They didn't have much luck catching any fish.
I told Colby I want to get Addison one of these bouncers for her birthday. She loved jumping on it.
Addison is so brave. she is always suprising me with all the things she is willing to try.
Talon Enjoyed feeding the animals at the little petting zoo they had there.
Talon and Addison really liked the bunny. I think talon would have liked to take him home.
It took some time for the kids to want to touch the goats but with some convincing from colby they warmed up fast and really enjoyed them.

After a long morning of doing all of the activities they had we finally got to go on our ride with Thomas the tank engine.


Me, Addison and Jaxon on the Thomas train. Addison was tired by the time we even got on the train. Once we got going she did enjoy the ride



On Saturday we got to go to Connorsville,IN and ride on thomas the train. We had a lot of fun. And some very tired kids by the end of the day. That's just the way we like it.

Columbus Flood 2008

These are arial pics of Columbus and the surrounding area. This was the largest flood in Columbus since 1913. There was a nieborhood flooded just a few blocks from ours, but we were not affected. There was a lot of damage to the Cummins facilities. The tech center won't be back up and running for about a month.
