I just looked at him and they went down, but when I picked him up they expanded lol I guess he is just nervous. It's kind of gross they got so big!

Well I was gonna make a "lucky guy" comment (lol sorry), but when I read the rest of the question and I saw that you love him, I just thought "awwww princess". That is so sweet.
It says on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster#Sex_and_longevity that male hamsters typically have very large testes in relation to their body size. So it is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

When hamsters are afraid they retract them in fear that they'll be damaged, and when they're not afraid they'll go to a normal big size.

Yeah, he'll be fine. Don't worry. See, of they go down, then there is nothing to worry about. Good luck.

It is normal, I made the mistake of actually taking mine to a vet and that was a wasted 65.00. Please dont worry, I was told it was normal.
