These are a few of my favorite things...

Thanks to Kim, I wanted to post some of my favorite things.

In no particular order...

Vacuum storage bags.
5 bins=3 airtight bags
I have been wanting to go through all of Cam's old clothes and store them differently for a while now. We have a small little storage closet and he had 5 bins in it. I can't get rid of a lot of them because they have such good memories attached, so I bought these bags and am so glad I did. I even did my wedding dress. I can store it under my bed, flat and out of the way!

Keva Keva...Oh my.

This is my absolute favorite smoothie place ever. When Scott and I lived in Salt Lake, this was my favorite treat to get when we were in Davis county. Now that we live less than a mile, it is no longer a treat, but an every week occurrence if I am lucky! Haven't had one? Try Sunset Soother with coconut extract. You will NEVER go to that other lame place, J**** Juice! (yes that is a curse word in our house.)

Not sure why this would only post side ways...
Making earrings.
My mom got me a great set of tools for Christmas to make jewelry and I have been obsessed ever since. I have taken a class with my mother-in-law and we hope to start selling on Etsy soon!
Want a pair? Just ask. We have a ton of beads!

The Wii Fit.

Scott got it for his birthday this year and we have had a blast with it. This is my favorite game, the obstacle course. I can't get past the stupid rolling logs yet, but will someday. However, I don't love that my Mii is now fat. I at least lied to myself when creating it before the Wii fit.

Reusable shopping bags.

I will admit, I am not the type of person to be all green and celebrate Earth Day everyday, but I sure do love these bags. I love that you can stuff so many things in them and still only need to carry 1 bag. It saves my arms for sure. Only problem, I need to remember to actually TAKE them to the store with me!

Simply Calphalon.

The title says it all...Simply...Wonderful. This was one of my gifts for Christmas and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. They cook amazing; I'm pretty much Rachel Ray now. I will hand wash these pots as long as they promise to never need cooking spray or leave me.Hearing Cam speak Spanish.

Scott has done so well lately speaking Spanish to Cam. There are a few words that Cam will only say in Spanish. It is the cutest thing in the world to hear his little voice say the words.

Here is his list: mano, pie, mas, boca, ojo, nariz, musica, hola, adios (my fav), vamos and rojo.

Anything on HGTV.

Scott's mom got him a year's worth of Dish Network for his birthday. Besides his sports channels, we basically always have it on HGTV. My First House, Renters, My House is Worth What? Sell This House, House Hunters....LOVE them all!!!

Sunday Morning on CBS.

I love all of the stories on this show. I am so glad church is at 11 now and I am no longer distracted with getting ready while the show is on. Their stories are always fun and interesting...Watch it! 8 am channel 2.

Texting.

Can you read the text in this picture? I found it on google and was cracking up.

I would always go over on my texts each month, so we upgraded and I now have 1000 each month. I try so hard to reach that number! Unfortunately, I would prefer texting rather than talking on the phone, partly because I am on the phone ALL day at work. I am safe though, and never ever text while driving.

The Children's Place.
I love shopping here. I love the great deals they have. I used to think they were too expensive, but, thanks to Scott's aunt, Erin, I now know the truth. I got Cam this cute little church outfit for less than 10 bucks. They just had an extra 50% off their clearance items too, so I got a pair of pants for $3.50 and some shirts for $3.00!!

What are some of your favorite things?

Drop it like it's hot

I promise we did not teach Cam how to "drop it". He just started doing it this morning to a commerical, and I had to get it on video.

He is a good little dancer boy. He has such good rhythm, it is amazing to watch if you ask me! He takes after his mommy for sure. All my girlfriends in MI, please confirm this! : )

Whenever he hears any music he is bouncing and wiggling around. It is the funniest when we are at a store that plays loud music.

Sleeping Beauty

Oh...I mean Prince!
This is how Cam has been found recently when he is napping. He puts his little legs through the crib and rests them on the bumper pad. There have been times we have walked in to get him after he is awake and talking, and he is still in the position. Just looking around, talking, playing. It is so cute!

I can't believe he is going to be 18 months in a couple weeks. I am so proud of him and love everything about him. He is not my "baby" anymore. He has gotten so tall. When I get home from work and pick him up it feels like he has gained 5 pounds since I held him last. Just heartbreaking!!

Happy Birthday!!

I can't believe I am posting this picture. Can you all believe this is what we both looked like when we first met?? It is pretty depressing to me. HAHAAAHAAHA
Happy Birthday my love. You are the most amazing person I know. Thank you for being such a good husband and even better father. Cam and I are lucky to have you. You are such a perfect fit for me, I can't imagine my life without you.
Hope you enjoyed your day. Now lets get on that Wii Fit and look like this again!

Cam's truck

Cam has so much fun riding on his new truck. He laughs so hard when ever it moves when he pushes the button. We always have to remind him to tuck his feet. Just hilarious!!

Christmas in pictures

We had a fabulous Christmas. We decided to celebrate Christmas with our little family on Christmas Eve, so we could go to Scott's parents Christmas morning. Papa was getting a big gift, and we had to see him open it.
Before our frenzy...

Cam opening his first present. By the way he did so good this year. It was so fun to see him really be into it. He loved handing out the presents to everyone too. It was adorable.

His truck from Grandma Rosemary

His new, as he calls them, "hewwo"

He LOVES his farm. He can play with this for a good half hour alone. Life changing for me!

Cam's loot from Grandma Rosemary and us.

My stuff from my mom and Scott. LOVE my new pots and my canvas picture of Cam. Some of my favorites! I am also going to learn how to make earrings. I cannot wait!

Ok. I know what you are thinking...but he is missing 2 items in his pile AND his big gift was a laptop from my mom. He is lucky he had anything else : )


Christmas Morning at the Talbot's

Cam wearing Scott's new beanie.

Papa loving his new ties from Cam. Such a fun gift huh?

Lady's new camera for her trip this summer

Robby's new camera

Cam jumping on a box. His new favorite thing to do.

Robby's new netbook

Lady's beautiful, new crockpot

And here it is! Papa's big gift. A new TV. Reaction was great, but didn't get any good pictures of it.

I didn't get any good pictures after that.

My favorite gift from them was our nightstands...

Cam got a lot of cute clothes and boots. I asked for him to not get anymore toys. We have no room as it is. He still needs to play with toys he got from his birthday.

Cam enjoying his truck

We had an awesome Christmas weekend. We had so much fun being with Scott's family this year. Cam is so lucky to have great grandparents that love him so much...and love to spoil him. We love you!

Merry Christmas!

This picture was taken at the Creche Exhibit in Midway. We go every year, and decided this time to actually do their dress up nativity. Cam, as you can see, was the darling angel. He was so cute. My favorite in the picture though is the donkey. Hilarious right??


We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Hope your holidays are filled with love, family and joy. May the remembrance of the birth of our Savior be with you always. We love you!
