Birthday Fun!!!

Taylor had 2 birthday parties to go to today and they were so much fun!!! I didn't get pictures from the first one, but they had one of those inflatable jumpers and Taylor loved it. Needless to say, Taylor was worn out by the end of the afternoon and fell asleep on the way home!!

Chuck E Cheese

Last weekend it rained all day Saturday. James managed to play 18 holes of golf (imagine that :0 ), but Taylor and I were bored from sitting in the house all day. It was too cold and rainy to actually get out, so we decided to take Taylor to Chuck E Cheese to have lunch and play. She had so much fun playing all the games (well actually her daddy plyed all the games and she watched). There were a few small "rides" that she was able to do and some games like ski ball where she could throw the ball.... just not very far. It was fun to watch her excitement for all the other kids playing. She bounced up and down in the booth while we were eating because she was so ready to get down and play!!! We had a lot of fun.... and will go back on another rainy day!!!

MOMMY'S LITTLE HELPER........

Taylor looks at a pile of clean clothes as if it were a bucket of toys!!! She darts to the pile as soon as I get it out of the dryer. The only way I can keep her from destroying the pile of folded clothes is to let her "HELP" me. She LOVES it. We can say Taylor, take this to ... and she does it!! It is so funny. She also loves to put the clothes in the dryer.. something about the dryer that is fascinating to her.. NOT ME!!! :0 She is a wonderful little helper... when she wants to be. She can also destroy the whole house in about 10 seconds!!!

Pigtails and Play Days

Taylor finally has enough hair to have some pigtails. She doesn't mind them.. for long, then she yanks them out and hands me the rubberband!! Her hair is growing so long in the back, but still very fine on top!! I'm so ready for her to have ponytails and big bows.. but the piggies will have to do for now!!!


Taylor was longing to go outside on Saturday, but it was way too cold.. and she didn NOT understand. She can see her swingset and slide from the window, so all she does is shout.. "outside."

getting ready to do some shopping... didn't last very long.. tay pitched a FIT to get down and walk.. i see the terrible two's coming a lot sooner :(

Tay's new favorite thing... coloring, with a pen, pencil, marker, you name it!!!!

smiling for mommy

Taylor's new favorite place.... Chick-fil-A. She really had a BLAST!!! I took her last weekend while James was playing golf and it was about to pour down raining. She could not believe that they gave outr balloons AND she could play. She was in heaven!! She loved the balloon.... and the play area, and of course, the chicken!!

Playdate with Bella

Taylor is thinking that she just might want that book back that she just gave Bella

oh how sweet, they hugged and kissed a few times

Taylor and Bella played so well together!! I was really surprised at all the interaction. Shelby and B came down for the day to visit and shop...and the girls were really good (of course we had to bribe them at the end with ice cream) Taylro and Bellas were in their strollers and they would call each other's names and say "hey" back and forth!! It was so cute. We had a really good visit and Taylor and I are so glad they came!!

This is Taylor's playroom and Mommy's daily chore... to keep all the toys in this room.. yeah right!! She pulls them all out and drags them in the living room, and when she goes to bed, mommy drags them all back!! Oh the life of a toddler!!

Hotty Toddy!!!!!!

We decided not to go to the Cotton Bowl this year mainly because it was too far for Taylor to travel being so young. We are going to Orlando to visit my mom over Spring Break and we will be flying!! That will be Taylor's first time on a plane and a long way away from home, so we decided to wait until then to make that big jump!! Anyway, we were really excited to watch the game, at home, on the couch, after such a long week. It was an awesome game and we are proud of the REBELS!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Eve

We went to the club for New Year's Eve and it was so much fun!! Cici and Pop came down to visit and keep Taylor. Taylor rang in the new year... in her bed... fast asleep :0 We had a cookout at our house on New Year's Day and it was a lot of fun, too! Lots of kiddos running around, but that's what makes it fun! We have so much to be thankful for in 2008, and hope that 2009 will be just as great!!

Here is Taylor in her overalls San-San bought her!! Thanks San-San, they were adorable on her!!
