Mama's helper

Talon likes to sit on the counter and be involved in anything I am doing in the kitchen.

Here he's "helping me" make espressos

The newest member of our family

This is Kira, we call her "Kiki". We got her when she was about 8 weeks old. She is a miniature Schnauzer, and a little black ball of energy! This was Talon's first time in his pool.

It took him a little while to get used to it. He almost looks perplexed like he can't figure out why he's taking a bath, outside, in cold water, with his clothes on!
He liked it a lot better when I got down to play with him in it. He thought it was great that he could splash and get Mommy all wet!

Little Cowboy

Talon got a rocking horse that plays "Home on the Range" and clops along when you squeeze its ear. He wouldn't have anything to do with it for the longest time. This was the first time Daddy got him to sit on it, and he loved it!

Snake River Stampede

We went to the Snake River Stampede with Papa & Granny the week we moved to Idaho. (What can I say, we're rodeo junkies!!) It was an indoor arena and Talon got a little hot and fussy, so we stripped him down to his bare essentials. He loved watching the action after that!

Going Bowling!

On the Friday night before we left for Idaho, we went bowling with my family (Grandpa and Grandma Bauer, Melanie, Lacey, and Mikayla). Talon wanted to participate so bad! He couldn't understand why we wouldn't let him play with the big, colorful bowling balls.

Picking out his ball with Grandpa! Me and Mikayla

Little Music Man

Talon loves music, and wants to play any instrument you let him get his hands on!

Here he's playing the piano and singing with Uncle Chad
