Winter Jam 2010

Last night we went to Winter Jam 2010 with the Huskeys. It was a huge Christian music concert that was only $10 at the American Airlines Arena. It was packed out! We pulled up and there were tons of church vans and swarms of kids. We saw Fireflight, Newsboys, Third Day, Fifth Avenue North, Rupert Pierre, and Sidewalk Prophets. My two favorites were Newsboys and Fifth Avenue North.

Abigail came over here and Madi McCrary babysat the girls. We got home about 11:30 and the girls had crashed in their sleeping bags in the living room. It was so cute!

Lead singer of Newsboys (use to be in DC Talk) - he is up on a platform in the middle of the arena.

Taylor and Abigail passed out! Yes, Taylor is a drooler!

Chez Ami Spring 2010 trunk

Yesterday when I got home from work a large box was sitting on my front porch. My Chez Ami trunk full of clothes and accessories arrived two days early. It is so fun opening that huge box and seeing all the clothes. Taylor asked me if all the clothes were for her. She was a little dissapointed when I said no, but cheered up when I told her we could play dress up.

Singing Happy Birthday to Abigail

We raced home from Houston yesterday morning to make it to Abigails birthday party. Taylor would of never forgiven us if we would of missed it. Her and Abigail are best friends and it is pretty cute seeing how excited they get when they see each other. Taylor had a blast at Abigails party eating cupcakes, breaking the pinata, and playing with Abigails new toys.

3rd Annual Tea Party

Mom and I hosted our 3rd annual tea party in Kingwood Saturday. Not everyone could make it this year, but we had three kiddos and two on the way. My mom and I started doing this three years ago when Taylor was only a few months old. We don't make it down to Houston that often and if we do go down, we are usually busy with our family and don't get to see our friends. We thought this would be a fun tradition to start so we can see everyone at least once a year. It is so nice to get to hang out with my girls and their precious babies. It is fun to see the proud grandmas too!

Homemade hair cut

Tuesday night I got the itch to cut Taylor's hair. I figured it wouldn't be that hard to cut a straight line - boy was I wrong. Taylor did a great job sitting still, but she wouldn't keep her head tilted to the side I wanted it at. Taylor was very excited for me to cut her hair. I did cut it shorter than I wanted it to be and of course, it dried shorter than I expected. I think it is too short and Nathan couldn't believe I cut her hair myself. Taylor kept saying, "Mommy I like it, it's fine".

Here is how short it is wet vs. the original length

It dried so much shorter than I imagined. It isn't quite even either. I don't think I will be cutting her hair again.

Coco and Taylor

Taylor with her new Coco the Horse. She takes Coco everywhere now. For some reason, every time I dress Coco in her cheerleading outfit, Taylor takes it off. Who knows?

Valentines Day 2010

This was Taylor's 3rd Valentines Day. We started the day by giving Daddy his Valentines and then Taylor got to open her Valentines Day present. After church and nap, we headed to the Frisco mall to shop. When Taylor saw the carousel in the food court, she begged to go on it. Nathan took her on a ride and then we went to the Build-a-Bear shop. Taylor picked a horse and then a precious Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit. She named her horse "Coco" from the books Cowgirl Kate and Coco by Erica Silverman. We had dinner at Buca di Beppo which was fabulous. During dinner Taylor said, "This is really, really, really good!" Nathan gave me my Valentines gift at dinner - tickets to the Bon Jovi concert!!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am! After dinner Nathan treated us to frozen yogurt at Cherry On Top. When we got home tonight, Taylor introduced Coco to all her other animal friends. It was such a nice, relaxing Valentine's Day.

I didn't get anymore pictures tonight because my camera battery died while taking pictures of Taylor and Nathan on the carousel. So sad!
