Cowgirl for a Day!!

Taylor's school has Silly Week the week of Halloween. Today was Cowgirl/Cowboy Day. Tay is actually going to be a cowgirl for Halloween, so I didn't want her to wear her actual costume today. We had to make do with what we had :)

Taylor and her teacher, Pamela

this is the only shot I could get of Tay this morning.. she kept running off, she was excited to wear her boots to school

The Fair

We took Taylor to the fair in Laurel on Sunday. Our friends, Darren and Jamie, promised Taylor they would tag along!! She had a blast, but wasn't too fond of actually riding the rides. She was just a tad bit too short for most of the rides, but she did manage to ride a few. She acted as if she wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel... all day... which she didn't. She just liked looking at it. Seeing the excitement of a 2-year old is truly amazing. Taylor had so much fun and was worn out by the time we left.

Taylor's Field Trip

WARNING: VERY LONG POST!!
Taylor's class took a field trip today to Blue Jack Ridge in Poplarville. I took off work so I could tag along and it was SO MUCH FUN! (My class is going on Friday.. so I will be worn out) Anyway, I really didn't know how 2 classes of 2 year olds were going to act, but they all had a blast. I think it was the most fun for Taylor. It is awesome to see the joy of animals, pumpkins, hay rides, slides, corn mazes, and picnics through the eyes of a toddler. She was very scared of the live animals at first, but once she saw her friends jumping in there to pet them, she sure wasn't going to be left out!! There are tons of pictures, so ENJOY!!!

Pumkins Galore!!!

These pictures were taken at the Presbyterian Church in Oxford. After church on Sunday, we went over so Taylor could see all the pumpkins. She had a blast and really did not want to leave!! She cried when we went home and kept telling us she needed to go back to the pumpkins. She is at such a fun age. We are enjoying every minute of it!! Her class is taking a field trip Tuesday to a really big pumpkin patch/corn maze/petting zoo. We are so excited!! More pics to come!!

Weekend in Oxford

We went to Oxford last weekend for the Ole Miss/Alabama game. The weather was freezing cold, and I didn't pack our family very well. I looked at the weather channel all week, but just didn't believe it would be that cold since it was 90 degrees here in Hattiesburg. Well, I was WRONG! Tay had her cute little football dress, no tights, but I did bring her sweater. I had on a dress with a sweater also. Needless to say, Cici and I made a mad dash to the stores duirng the first half of the game. We weren't sure how long Tay would hold up in the stadium anyway, so we chose to go to the 2nd half of the game. Well, Taylor did great!! She was finally in some warm clothes and having a blast. She played with her Cici and Pop most of the time, but absolutely LOVED it when the helicopters flew over us. Needless to say, I think she can handle the whole game from now on.. as long as her mommy dresses her right :)

Tay is clapping with Pop and she has Hotty Toddy stickers all over her hands.

she is obsessed with stickers :)

Okay so we were afraid Taylor would not get a nap because we went to the grove early in the day.. well she had no trouble sleeping. James went and bought us a blanket from the bookstore and Tay sacked out!! And might I add, there were triple the number of people in the tent than normal.. and it was very loud... but we still had a sleeping beauty!!

All Girl!!

Taylor absolutely loves for me to paint her toenaails. It's very hard to keep her still long enough to actually do a good job, but we do it anyway. She will ask me every couple of days if I will paint them again!! She loves the polish for some reason. I'm not complaining because I love her being a girly girl!!

Taylor got these dress up clothes for her birthday from sweet Lily. She wore them every day after school for the first 3 or 4 days she had them. She got tons more from her birthday party, so now she is mixing and matching all the pieces!! So much fun!!

Lately.......

We went to a Southern Miss game a few weekends ago. We went with our friends Jamie and Darren, who gave us sky box tickets. Taylor was in heaven because she could run around and play and not have to sit in the seat the whole time. She enjoyed listening to the band and looking for the eagle to pop out!!

Taylor loves Darren... and you can really tell in the picture. She is pretty shy when it comes to people she doesn't know, but if you give her alittle attention.. you win her heart!! She would go home with Jamie and Darren half the time if we would let her!!

All the kids were sharing the same chair a few weeks ago while all the adults watched the game!! They had so much fun playing.... but only made it through half time and most ALL of them were in the bed asleep!!
