The Turner Update

Hello blogging world. Still haven't figured out my uploading picture problem and it is driving me crazy!! So heres another update on the Turner family. We are all doing really good busy busy as you all are and it seems like life is passing by way to fast! Matthew is really enjoying his new job and learns more and more each day. Talan is a month away from turing the big 3 so we are well on our way planning a bday and if I could only rent an alligator, shark and elephant I would be done but I don't think thats going to happen and that is all he says he wants so now its time to get creative. I took him to Disney on Ice today and it was so magical!! He loved it but got so sad at the end and wanted me to go get Mickey for him and I had one of those moments that I almost bought one of those crazy overpriced things that they sell but I didnt give in but I will be going to get that baby a mickey stuffed animal this weekend!! Tatum is growing like a weed!! She is sitting up like a pro and on Halloween night started crawling across the floor. Actually it was a scoot crawl but it was a crawl. We started her on cereal and stage 1 foods and even though she didn't love it like I thought she would she is getting better each day. Shes got 2 teeth and I do believe cutting another one. Her and Talan are so sweet together and love to play which is priceless to watch. They looked adorable on Halloween, Talan was a shark (thanks so much to Carrie) and Tatum was the cutest Bumble Bee ever. Hopefully I will get the whole picture thing worked out so I can show off some pictures. Hope all is well with everyone!! Take care!

SLACKERS...

Good Morning Blog world. The Turner family is alive and well just busy, busy but having lots of fun. I did something to the computer and I can no longer download my pictures and can not find any hardward from my camera to fix my problem so I have no idea what to do and have tons of pictures on my camera but can not download them. So that is one reason for my slacking the other is that life gets really busy and when I have a few minutes I hang out with my hubby. However lots of changes have happen Tatum is huge but precious and where Talan was short and chunky she is long and chunky which makes clothes buying very interesting. I have had to put her in some 12 months stuff, isnt that crazy!! She cut her first tooth last week on the bottom and is getting another on top and has done reeally well with it all just chomping on everything in sight. She rolls all over the place and has even started pushing to her knees which makes me sad, don't know if we are ready for that just yet. Talan is such a BIG boy and has the best imagination ever and keeps us all laughing. He loves, loves Frankiln and drawing on his easel. We have been working on writing our letters and numbers and he has gotten his T's, O's and H's pretty well don't ask me why those letters, well the T is understandable but the others are what he wanted to do. He is such a daddys boy and wants to know where is daddy is at all times even if he is just in the other room and his new thing to say are"You want to play with me??" and "Whew! That was some hard work" while wiping his forehead. Oh and "member?? when we did that Momma Daddy??" Matthew will be starting a new job on Monday so please keep us in your prayers. Change is good but sometimes hard to get us to so I know we will all be fine just have to get adjusted a little. I'll update about that later as well. So that is a little update about us for now and hopefully I will figure something out with my camera so I can share more pics but until then I will put some old stuff on that I never got around to. Hope all is well with everyone and we be seeing you soon.

A couple more thought were too cute not to share

Trying to get Kody to dance

We love our Kody

Best Buddies!

Making sure she is ok

Kody is such a sweet dog and loves these kids and they love him just as much.

Rolling Around at the Turner's

Ever since Tatum has been rolling over Talan loves to get in the floor with her and just roll around with her so here is some fun pics of them rolling around together. He is so proud cause he says he teached her to do that.

Sweet Babies!!

Tatum's 4 Month Check Up

We went for Tatums check up last week and it went pretty good besides getting the shots. She is now 16lbs and is 26 1/2 inches and is off the charts on both so she is growing just fine. I knew she had grown cause she had developed a few more rolls and most of her clothes were not fitting so we have had to change out some clothes and adjust somethings so that big momma can move around better. This was about the same time Talan beefed up and we were wondering if she would and she has definitly done that and then some but we love it!! She also has started sleeping in her bed and loves it she stretches out and rolls around and the best thing is that she sleeps all night which she has been doing that since around 10 weeks which we have been so blessed with. She coos and giggles all the time and loves taking bathes with her brother and thinks he is the best thing ever. She wants to move around more and gets a little fustrated with that but the way she is growing so fast I am sure she will be getting around here soon which makes me a little nervous. I like the days of putting her in one place and her staying there. So there is a little update on Miss Tater Tot she is such a blessing and we are soo tickled to have her in our lives.

Weekend at the Hughes Lakehouse

A few weekends ago the Hughes invited us to spend the weekend at their new lakehouse and we had the best time. It was Tatum's first venture out for that long and we didn't know how she would do but she was great!! Talan had a blast and think Aiden and Austin are just great. He has been asking for them everyday since we left. It was a a very much needed time away and we enjoyed getting to spend time with friends which we need to do more often. Thank you guys for having us we had a great time.

Matthew attempting to waterboard which I think he would of had it if he had seen someone do it first so maybe next time babe. Talan was so worried about his daddy he kept saying daddy be careful.

More Fun Pictures From the Lake

This was both our kids first time ever on a boat and they loved it. It was the perfect nap place Talan was out I think everytime we got on. He was not to sure about the whole life jacket thing at first but he got use to it and even made sure he was extra careful using the floaty thing as his seatbelt you can never be to safe.

Tatum had fun playing with Jax and loved all the excitement from the boys it kept her busy which made her sleep very well. Poor little girl it looks like she is going to be like her momma lily white especially if she keeps the red hair.

4 Months Old

Look at me I am getting so big!!! I have done so many new things in the last few weeks which makes my mommy & daddy sad but happy too! I can roll over from my back to my tummy to my back and I like it but get a little mad at times, after a fun weekend at the lake my parents decided it was time for me to sleep in my big bed and boy was it comfy and I can stretch out which feels so good and best of all I am talking a lot more and making sure everyone knows I am in the room. I really have been a good little girl and hope you are having fun watching me and my brother grow. We have lots more to share so stay tune for more on the Turner 4.

My Babies

Here are my babies both at 3 months and in the same little onesis from their Aunt Lissa.
Its funny to see the differences and the similarities of the two. This is when Talan started to get chunky and Tatum is definitley following in his footsteps, I love it!!

Rockin at the Turners

Enjoying an afternoon at the park!

Weekend with Collin

Last weekend Julie and Collin came in for Sara's bday and we got to spend a lot of time together which we love!! Not only do the boys have fun but the mommies got to hang out and catch up which is always fun. We love it when yall come home and look forward to seeing you soon!!

SUMMER BIRTHDAYS

Here are some of the birthdays we helped celebrate this summer!!


Bouncing around with the Hughes twins celebrating their 3rd birthday!! They have gotten so big and are so darn cute!!
We had fun thanks for inviting us!!

Making a splash with Joesph celebrating his 8th Birthday at Alabama Adventure and we had so much fun!! Talan didn't know what to think about everything but once he got going he didn't want to stop. We will definitly be going back hopefully soon.

Back in June we had a Luau for my moms 60th which turned out so nice even though it was very very hot.
And somehow I didn't end up with one picture of the birthday girl isn't that awful!!! Sorry mom, love ya and hope you had fun.

What a Cutie!!!

Thank you Mrs Tucker for the bow we love it!!!

Dressing Ourself

Talan is getting to really like to do things on his own, which we have always been very supportive of and do our best to let him do it or atleast try. Well, these days its dressing himself and at times this can be a very challenging thing especially when he doesn't want any help. So trying to explain how to put shorts on is a work in progress. Well here he came in the kitchen and said I did it and was so proud of himself so I had to take a picture but I think after a while he realized something was wrong and the next thing I found was what the bottom picture shows. I guess he said heck with the shorts and diaper I'll just get my boots.

Tatum Time

This is our sweet little girl at 12 weeks old. She at this point really had started getting very expressive and thinks she is a big girl holding that head up so good. She does good with tummy time but for only a limited time which is ok atleast she will do it.

Hello We're Back!!!

Sorry for being such a bad blogger!!! Between lighting strikes (we had 2 of them that messed up are phone and computer within 2 weeks of each other), soaking up every ounce of my maternity leave and having to go back to the dreaded work we have been really busy. We have had a wonderful summer and have lots of pictures to catch up on and a lot of growing has been going on as well. Tatum is now 3 1/2 months old and is getting bigger and bigger everyday. She sleeps through the night and eats like a little pig during the day but their are no complaints here. Talan is also growing and it makes me happy and sad at the same time. I made a comment to Matthew about thinking Talan was looking a little slimmer than normal and right after that I think everyone that saw him made comments about him slimming up and looking like such a big boy. I know that is a good thing but it still is sad seeing your babies grow up. I really have enjoyed getting to be home with him and Tatum, it has really made me view things a lot different these days. Even though some days were challenging I could get use to staying at home easily!! So anyway here we are and hopefully I can get up to date with everything we have been doing soon. Hope everyone is having a great summer as well and we will be seeing you soon.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY SARA!!!

Saturday we went to celebrate Sara's 1st birthday. Mrs. Lindsey went all out with some fun water slides for the big kids and they all loved it!! Sara was so fun to watch she didn't miss a beat and I think if they had let her she would have been down the slides as well. We had a great time and enjoyed spending a day with all our friends. Thanks and we hope you had a wonderful birthday we love you!!!

Talan was a little reserved at first about the slides but after awhile he was a master on them and had a blast.
