A Talmage Post

When I promised some history, I knew I had to go WAY back. Talmage turned 12 in May.

Grandpa and Uncle Matt came from their ward to be in the circle when Talmage was ordained a deacon by Shan.
Here's the rest of the family that came for the ordination -- we let Syd & Stace stay in nursery for the sake of everyone!
Talmage is our Captain Moroni, so on this special birthday, there was a definite theme: socks, tie, picture and book, all featuring his hero.

Talmage is such a fun and witty kid - when Teagan goes off being random, Talmage is great at keeping up with him and playing off his Teagan-isms. It's kind of like watching a tennis match: Teagan serves and then Talmage lobs one back. They can get quite a volley going. I'd post one, but I usually wind up so confused and lost that they laugh at me. I'll have to enlist their help and share sometime.

We love our Talmage!!!

And Traci, how do you get your boys to wear sweaters?? I keep buying them and Seth refuses to wear them. I can't quite figure it out...

Val, all my boys like to wear extra stuff on Sundays. Teag & Talm love to wear their jackets -- Teag even took his to EFY and was thought quite studly in it. Tag & Tan love to wear the sweater vests, I just can't keep their shirts tucked in. I love finding them on Ebay since they don't carry them here regularly.

Oooh -- they also LOVE ties!
