Easter at KDO

Taylor took her Easter eggs to KDO this morning for their Easter egg hunt. I wish I could of gone to watch her hunt eggs with her friends at school, but we are going to have our own egg hunt this weekend with the grandparents. Anyways, she was super excited about taking her eggs to school. She came home with this huge bucket with a ton of eggs in it.

Taylor wasn't cooperating with letting me take a picture, so sorry I don't have any better ones.

Flower child

Taylor and I bought some flowers today for the front yard. I bought her a little trowel, a little rake and some little pink gloves. She loved sitting outside with me and digging in the flower bed. We found 3 worms while digging, so we talked about worms alittle bit, she pet them, and then put them back into the earth. Taylor didn't like me putting the worms back - she cried and cried. I tried and tried to explain that we couldn't keep the worms, but she wasn't having it. She probably cried for 10 minutes and I finally got her to stop when I took her inside to play with her puppies. Silly girl.

Anniversary celebration

Saturday was a crazy busy day. We started out with Taylor taking Easter pictures in Frisco with little bunnies. She did great and loved the bunnies. The lady put the bunny in her lap and she just held it close and pet it so gently. Nathan and I were a little nervous, but she did amazing. We haven't gotten the pictures back yet, but I can't wait to see them. We then headed to Micah's birthday party at the Choo Choo Station. We were a little late, but made it in time for cake, so Taylor was in heaven. While Taylor was napping, I went to my bosses son's memorial service. My bosses son lost his 2 year fight with cancer a week ago - he was only 27 years old. When I got home from the service, we got Taylor ready and took her over to Abigail's to play for the night.

Now our anniversary celebration started! Nathan and I went and got massages - they were fabulous. Actually, my lady was like an angel massaging me and Nathan's lady pushed so hard she bruised him. After our massages, we went to Daddy Jack's here in Coppell for dinner. We split steak and lobster - it was pretty good. We decided we wanted to go somewhere else for dessert, so we thought we would go to On the Border for their decadent tres leches cheesecake. I know, I know, you are all thinking we are crazy for going to On the Border - but their cheesecake is beyond fabulous. Well, we got there and waited 20 minutes for our waitress to come take our order. All we ordered was a cup of hot tea and a slice of cheesecake to split. After she finally took our order, about 5 minutes later another waitress came to ask us what we ordered because our waitress couldn't remember. I mean really!?! Then, about 10 minutes later a waitress came out with this dinky slice of cake and asks us if it was ours. We said no and she asked what we ordered - we told her and she informed us that they stopped having that cheesecake a week ago. I wish our waitress would of told us that 45 minutes ago! What a waste of time. I drank my hot tea and we left. We then headed to Pete's dueling piano bar in Addison. Pete's is such a blast. I had called friday to see if we could reserve a table and they were all already reserved. The guy told me to get there at 7pm to get a bar stool. We didn't figure anyone would get there that early, but boy were we wrong when we arrived at 8:15. Every table was filled and most of the bar area was packed. We couldn't believe it! Anyways, we partied with the best of them and had a blast! Yea for our 5 year anniversary. Oh, I almost forgot to tell yall - Nathan sent flowers to my office on friday! There were gorgeous and I have always wanted to get flowers at my office (like in the movies).

Butterflies

As I lay awake last night in bed till 1 am, I was thinking about my post about April Fool's Day. I hope it didn't sound to harsh about not getting to celebrate tonight since Nathan is out of town on our anniversary. Yep, today is our 5 year anniversary! Yea! I was thinking last night about how bummed I was yesterday thinking that we aren't going to get to go out tonight and live it up. Then I started to think about how it really doesn't matter if we get to go out to dinner and such today. All that matters is that I have a wonderful husband who still loves me after 5 years and I still love him.

This morning when he called to wish me Happy Anniversary, I felt happiness in my heart. I got those nervous, happy butterflies you get when you fall in love with someone and can't wait to see them again. I can't wait to see Nathan again. I haven't had those butterflies in a long time, probably our wedding day. What a wonderful feeling to have when you hear your partners voice on the other end of the phone. Huh, I think I have a crush on my husband!

Happy Anniversary Husband, I love you!

Kids say the cutest things

I know the saying goes, "Kids say the darnest things", but in Taylor's case, she says the cutest things. Lately she has been getting upset when someone plays with a toy that she is playing with, is hers or she has looked at. She has frequently said the word "MINE" which I have grown to hate. It is such a selfish word. Anyways, I have been telling her that when she gets upset about something like this, that she is not being sweet and she needs to be nice and share. Every thursday before school I tell her that she needs to be nice to all the kids in class and share. She then usually repeats the word nice a few times. Not that she isn't nice to everyone, I just want to remind her. Well, today when I picked her up from class, I asked her if she was sweet to all the kids and she said, "very nice". So darn cute.

People tell you that kids are little sponges and that they pick up on everything. It is so true.
Her other frequent words are - Awwwww Man! and No, No, No! She said Awwww Man the other day and I just started laughing. I couldn't figure out where she would of heard that. I asked Nathan if he says it and he started laughing. He said that I say it all the time. I never realized until he told me that and now I catch myself saying it all the time. Taylor says it cuter though. I almost died the other day in the store. Taylor was sitting in the cart and I was looked in the dollar section at Target. A lady walked by and started looking in the same section as us and Taylor yelled at her with her finger pointed straight at her with this ugly, mean look on her face, "No! No!, No!" I couldn't believe it! Luckily the lady was so nice and said that she has a 3 year old, so she totally understood. Taylor and I had a little talk after that about yelling at strangers. It was so embarrassing.

A super fun day

Taylor and I had a great, fun filled day. This morning we went to breakfast and got donuts. We have cake donuts because I feel like they don't have as much sugar as glazed donuts (I may be wrong, but it makes me feel better).Then Taylor went to school (which she loves) and played, played, played. After school I had to get some work done, so Taylor watched Clifford till I finished. We then met April and Abigail at Chick-fil-a for dinner and then went to Going Bonkers for a fundraiser for KDO (Taylor's preschool). Taylor was exhausted when we got home and went straight to sleep!

This is what I get now when I ask Taylor to smile at the camera!

Well, our super fun day just got disgusting while I am writing this. Tait just threw up in my office. The worst part is, he obviously ate a bird. It was full of feathers. So, I made him go outside and when I went to get him, he wouldn't come inside. I went out to see what he was up to, he had another dead bird in his mouth. I mean seriously, gross! I got him to drop it and I put it in the trash. The crazy part is, I found a dead bird in the yard yesterday. That makes 3 dead birds in 2 days. What is going on here???

April Fool's Day

Well, I made it through April Fool's Day this year with no pranks/jokes played on me by my husband. Every year Nathan comes up with something to get fool me with on April Fool's Day. This year he didn't do anything. Nathan called last night from Louisiana and said he is going to have to go back next week for the third week in a row. I kept asking him if he was kidding and that this was not a funny April Fool's joke. He kept laughing and saying no that this was not a joke. When we talked this morning, I asked again if he was joking yesterday when he said he had to go back next week and he said no. It is sad when you are hoping your husband played an April Fool's joke on you.

I hate that he has been gone so much lately. Tomorrow is our 5 year wedding anniversary and he is hoping to be home by 7 or 8pm from Louisiana. That means we aren't going to be going out tomorrow night on our anniversary to celebrate. We are planning to go out saturday night though.
