Happy Birthday Talden!

Our little Talden just turned 10 years old.
It seems like just yesterday that his beautiful
spirit came into our lives. He has brought us
so much love and joy. I cannot imagine my
life without him. He is so full of love for our
family and he is growing up so fast. I love to
have talks with him about his thoughts and
dreams. He is truly an amazing person who
understands who he is and what he wants in
his life. He is a great son, a wonderful brother
and we love him. Happy Birthday Talden. :)

Talden got to choose what he wanted to
do for his birthday. He wanted to go check
out the mall first because he knew there was
an arcade, playground, food court and game store.
It was raining (misting).




Then he wanted to go to the Library.
They had a special program going on that
had dancers dancing to the beat of the drums.
It looked like this:


For dinner we had pineapple pizza.
We always buy a cheese pizza and add
a can of pineapple. It is the only thing
he will eat on pizza. :)

Talden chose the candles for his cake and made
them into a "10." He also chose his cake...
It was Red Velvet with White Chocolate Almond frosting.

Then he wanted to go bowling.

He opened his cards and presents.
This one is from our bishop and his wife.
They also brought some clothes for Treven that their
boys had outgrown. He loved his new hoodie.

We also went to the "Chutes and Ladders" park again.
This is the lake that is next to it.

Happy Birthday Talden! I always love celebrating my kids birthdays, My favorite thing to do is to watch the video of the day they were born. It had become a little tradition, and the kids look forward to it too. They love to watch themselves getting a bath, and see how small they were! I hope it was a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Talden! I guess he is the first of the Grrl's kids to turn 10--but we'll all catch up by January! What a day of fun! It's nice to be the special one once in a while.

Wow - I'm drooling over that cake, it sounds like it was really good. I love Logan, but I'm always a little jealous of people who live in places where there are so many fun things to do. :)

Hi- I don't know if you remember me but we were in the Greenfield Ward with your family. Anyways, I checked out your blog that I found a link to through Krisit's blog. Thought I would say hi and can tell you are all staying busy. Kids do that. Feel free to check out our blog... then you may remember who we are.

Hey guys!! I just found your blog and I've been skimming through to catch up on everyone from Greenfield Ward. I can't believe Talden is 10, but I guess I can bc Brendan just turned 10 in April. I can't believe how fast time goes! I hope you guys are doing well, we are now back in AZ (where both our parents live) and you can catch up if you ever get bored by checking out our blog. Talk to you later!!
