The boys look so cute in their Sunday duds, and wow they are sooooo big!!

Daydreaming of the next Adventure

Tallon learned at a very young age to entertain himself. With no younger siblings to play with, he has filled the dull moments in life with "his friends". They play, sing, rope, ride and eat together! The thing they picked to fill this summer day was riding. They herded and branded and brought in the cattle, climbed to the top of a mountain, and finally came to a peaceful rest.

One of my favorite things about Tallon is his imagination. He has gone and done and been so many fun places because of it and I hope he can always find joy in daydreaming with "his friends".

The Big Day

Today is the day that Tallon talks about and waits for all year, The Little Buckaroo Rodeo!!! He prepares and dreams of the day that he finally gets to buck on sheep. He has been mutton busting for 3 years and is soooo hooked!! His first ride was when he was 3 and he talks of little else. This year was so much fun. Now that he is bigger that long awaited ride lasts longer and this year he was awesome. Here he is looking over the arena planning his big ride.

Tallon and Clancy talking things over. These two are so cute when they are all cowboyed up!!

I think this is about the cutest thing of the day. What a kid!
Here is the start of Tallon's ride. He was going to ride with one hand, but when he got up there he decided that the sheep looked fast and two hands would be better!
His dramatic finish. I laugh so hard every time I look at this picture. He ate a lot of dirt but that didn't seem to bother him, it only made his story that much better.
Being saved by the clowns. He was rather bothered by this part of his ride. He said that the clown laid on him forever!!! The sheep landing right on top of him was okay, but some guy trying to save him didn't impress him at all.
Walking out of the arena with the clowns and his dad. Tyler is hiding behind one of the clowns and it was a good thing because he is laughing at how much sand Tallon is hitting out of his helmet.
Tallon and Great Grandpa Taylor (one of his biggest fans).
Getting a kiss from biggest fan number two (his mom is number one of course) Great Grandma Taylor.
Tallon was awesome this year. He is already making big plans for next year and I am sure that it will be just as great.

Cool Dudes!

Tallon and Brixton seem to have a name for all the ways you wear a hat, backwards is being a "cool dude". It is so funny to see Tallon's personality change with his hat. If it is a cowboy hat he is a cowboy, if it is camo he is a hunter, and like this, wow, what a cool dude!


Sometimes it seems as if the twins just go along with what Tallon is doing, as you can see they are not as impressed by being a "cool dude"!

Number 3

Tallon has lost his 3rd tooth!! (well the dentist pulled his 3rd tooth) But we are sooo excited!!

The Tooth Fairy is the best! Tallon is already planning a trip to the store so he can spend is $1.

I wanna ride

Tallon got his first motorcicle this spring and is awesome. He has mom nervous most of the time and has even made dad squirm a time or two (notice the tear in his sleeve, that one made everyone holler). This morning he was out on the bike wishing he was riding, and before long he had Vivin on with him. Tallon was making all the sounds and Vivin was in heaven.


It was so funny listening to Tallon tell Vivin all the cool things that he does on his bike. I am just stressing over the moment when I look and Tallon is giving the boys a real ride. Oh well, no reason to stress over it, I just have to prepare myself, because it is going to happen!

Summer Bums!

The boys were running around in overalls this morning, how cute are they!?! Their tan lines show that we are enjoying the sun and all its warmth. They have had a busy summer of following Tallon in swim lessons and T-ball, playing in the sandbox, and going for ranger rides.

Here is Vivin...

which makes this one Orrin...

together they make twins!!

Vivin was done at this point in the photo shoot. Tallon and dad came through the back door saying something about going outside, and it was all down hill from there.
