Mother’s Day weekend

Tonianne, Frank and Talon headed North while Linda, myself and Grandma Christensen headed South.  We picked up Kim on the way and we all made it to Mesquite Friday night.

Everyone was really tired but we stayed up and just talked and played with Talon until after mid-night.  Saturday Morning Talon was in rare form.  He was so happy and could not stop talking to us.  He also gave me some great photo’s that I will share.

This is his “hey pretty mama” sexy shot

Three Mother’s on Mother’s Day and Kim.

It was a great weekend for everyone we had a fantastic time just staying at the condo.  The time goes by so fast and before you know it, we are looking at Sunday afternoon and we have to say goodbye.  I love going down to Mesquite and it’s so nice to have the kids and my Mom down there with us but It is always so sad to leave  and see Frank, Tonianne and Talon drive away.  The good news is Kimberly decided to make the drive to Sandy with us and spend a couple weeks with us while School is out.

On June 8th Tonianne and Talon came in to visit us.  Here is Talon with his leather vest on.

Talon in his Biker cuts

Yep he is the a “Biker Baby”

Grandama and Talon just relaxing and watching NASCAR.

We need to get Talon out of Phoenix he’s hooked on NASCAR….. Those words do not flow out of my mouth.  Who really likes NASCAR I mean really???

Kim also came in town to spend some time with us.  I think she only came in because Tonianne and Talon were here but she says thats not true.   Either way it was good to see her again.

The Bib says it all!!!

Every year we cut roses and bring them up to my Dad’s grave.  The new house came with some of the most beautiful roses.  So we cut some and brought them up for my dad.  It was also a good time for my Dad to meet Talon.

Tonianne and Talon. Frank did not come in but we cut a flower for him any way.

Talon and the girls

He’s crawling pretty well now.

Just a cute picture of Tonianne and Talon

Tonianne and Talon are going home tomorrow it’s going to be so sad to see them go, it has been so special having them with us for a week and a half.  But as sad as we are to see them go I know Frank is that excited to see them come home.

July 2, 2010 we had the kids back down in Mesquite to spend some time with us.  I cannot believe how much Talon has changed in just a few weeks.  He is now crawling everywhere and you should see him in his walker…. Man that dude can move, it’s almost a race when he wants to go some place.  He even picks up speed when he wants to go some place he’s not suppose to be.

Here are some up-dated pictures of our weekend.

Talon on the move heading for the living room

Just hanging out in his “Man Cave”

All he needs now is some deer heads and family pictures to complete the “Man Cave”  Grandpa is working on it with him.

If you got your Grandma and your Elmo you just don’t need more than that…

Dad and Talon just watching a little of the world Cup together

Dang that grandpa can take a good picture don’t you think?

Talon learning to swim

The girls laying out…. Wait who’s watching Talon…. Dad & Grandpa who else

We watched the fire works from the pool on sunday night.  Talon loved them so much he was even doing the “oooooo’s and aaaaaaaaa’s.  that kid is funny and it was his first fireworks show.  It kept his attention for about 20 minutes, if you know Talon that is huge.

Well Monday came the kids headed South while Linda, Kim and I all headed North.  Now that we have done this a couple of times it’s not so hard seeing them go, but we are very excited to see them again I hope it’s soon.

Bad to the Bone
