June social

Tonight we went to Grapevine Springs Park with our Sunday school class for a picnic. The kids had a blast playing in the dirt, playing with bubbles, and running around. Taylor was covered in dirt from head to toe when we got home - she went straight into the bath!

Chick-fil-a playground

This past week, Angie and I have been shopping for float supplies. Angie and I are in charge of the 4th of July float for church. Angie's daughter Jessie and Taylor are buddies and have done a great job shopping with us this week. The girls have been so good. We went to chick-fil-a one day and after the girls had finished eating, they went into the play area to play. Angie and I looked up not even 2 minutes later and Jessie was pulling Taylor up onto the top step of the playground. The top step was probably 12 feet high, so I got nervous, but Taylor was doing great with Jessie, so I didn't go in after her. The girls got to the top, crawled across to the slide and then came down together.

Jessie is always so good with Taylor and Taylor just adores her.

Father's Day 2009

Yesterday we celebrate Father's Day. This will be Nathan's 3rd Father's Day. Taylor was born on June 14th 2007 (she was due July 2) which was 3 days before Father's Day that year. The funny part was, I had already written Nathan's Father's Day card from Taylor saying to the effect of, "Sorry Daddy that I wasn't hear for Father's Day, but Happy Father's Day". Nathan got a good laugh out of the card since Taylor arrived 3 weeks early and made it for Father's Day.

Anyways, this morning we went to church, came home and took naps and then went to dinner at Olive Garden. Nathan wanted a relaxing day, so I think we accomplished that!

Cody's 1st Birthday

Our dear friends Mike and Dacia's little man, Cody turns 1 on Wednesday. Saturday we celebrated his 1st birthday. He was cruzing around walking all over the place - very impressive. He is just adorable and loveable. Dacia gave him a piece of cake and some ice cream for his first time and of course he love it!

Alligator pool

Taylor got a new pool for her birthday, so friday night we decided to try it out. She loved it! The pool has two slides (the head of the alligator and the tail), but I only blew up on because I was about to pass out from blowing up the pool and the slide.

Dinner and dancing at Fat Daddy's

Last night we met the Huff's for dinner at Fat Daddy's. Angie and I had some float building things to discuss since we got nomiated to build the VBS float for our church. We talked about the float while we ate and then went out onto the patio to listen to some live music. Jessie and Taylor danced the whole time we were out there listening to the music. They are so cute! they twirled and twirled like little ballerinas.

Princess Taylor's 2nd birthday

Birthday girl!!!





Loves birthday cake, but hates the birthday song.

TAYLOR IS TWO!!!! Happy Birthday little one! Sunday morning, when we heard Taylor talking on the monitor, Nathan and I got the video camera ready and went in to sing Taylor Happy Birthday(like we did last year). To our surprise, when we opened her door a horrendous smell hit us and I shut the door immediately. We turned the camera off and held our breath as we went it to find Taylor covered in throw up along with her bedding. It was horrible! Okay, so bowls of icing, sprinkles and fine cheeses don't mix in a 2 year old's little tummy. Poor little thing! She seemed fine and so we got her cleaned up. She played with all her new toys and spent the day with her Grandparents.
