Becky, Matt and Reed came to stay with us the other weekend and we had the best time. Taylor did so well with Reed. She let him sleep in her room and was very sweet all weekend...she even let her MeMe hold him! But she sat VERY close by. On Saturday night, Allison and April came to Rome with their hubbies and new baby Lilly. We were so excited to all be able to spend some time together!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334665711652436802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKM1J_-0I/AAAAAAAAA7I/r--B01LOdS0/s400/IMG_4478.JPG" border="0" />Becky, Reed, April, Lilly, Allison, me and Taylor...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334665706096385090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKMgdVXEI/AAAAAAAAA7A/QjI1qhkN_pQ/s400/IMG_4470.JPG" border="0" />Becky was my roomie at Shorter (for the few of you who may not know!) Taylor loved spending time with Baby Reed and has asked me almost once a day since, "Where'd Baby Reed go?" I have to explain that he had to go back to South Carolina with his parents 'Beck Beck and Map'.<br /><div></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUhmuOwI/AAAAAAAAA8A/Ot6L8TFSJzA/s1600-h/IMG_4504.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334666943354780418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUhmuOwI/AAAAAAAAA8A/Ot6L8TFSJzA/s400/IMG_4504.JPG" border="0" /></a>Matt and Reed...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUcAqsFI/AAAAAAAAA74/pBY0AydT-4k/s1600-h/IMG_4500.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334666941852987474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUcAqsFI/AAAAAAAAA74/pBY0AydT-4k/s400/IMG_4500.JPG" border="0" /></a>Taylor says, "I'm trying to eat my brownie, no pictures please!"<br /><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUB-LSfI/AAAAAAAAA7w/w1hX034ut-Q/s1600-h/IMG_4496.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334666934863219186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiLUB-LSfI/AAAAAAAAA7w/w1hX034ut-Q/s400/IMG_4496.JPG" border="0" /></a>Me and Al...<br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNwsauSI/AAAAAAAAA7g/OEe6l85mLX8/s1600-h/IMG_4486.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334665727634487586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNwsauSI/AAAAAAAAA7g/OEe6l85mLX8/s400/IMG_4486.JPG" border="0" /></a>The new Mommies...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNulclDI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Ih56Da-BYKk/s1600-h/IMG_4481.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334665727068378162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNulclDI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Ih56Da-BYKk/s400/IMG_4481.JPG" border="0" /></a>Allison and Alan...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNK9XN5I/AAAAAAAAA7Q/S-1dJxAoIHU/s1600-h/IMG_4485.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334665717505013650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SgiKNK9XN5I/AAAAAAAAA7Q/S-1dJxAoIHU/s400/IMG_4485.JPG" border="0" /></a>Reed and Lilly...aka Baby Weed and Baby Yiyyee.

I can't believe it. We have lots of dresses that my grandmother (Mama Jean) made for me and I can't wait for Taylor to wear them.

The one she wore was made by my dad's mom, my Mama Jean. I wore it for Halloween when I was 3 or 4. The one that I wore was made by dad's grandmother when I was in junior high (for West Rome Chieftain Acts!) My grandmother had passed away and so Mamaw started sewing for me! Luckily, we still had both. How cool is that?! And thanks to Mom for keeping them safe for me for all these years! :)<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SbVSr6BbqZI/AAAAAAAAAxI/xWa-Er1kW9s/s1600-h/IMG_0643%5B1%5D+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311242249816484242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 257px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SbVSr6BbqZI/AAAAAAAAAxI/xWa-Er1kW9s/s400/IMG_0643%5B1%5D+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a>Emily and Mom both thought to wear the guys' class rings around their necks.

That morning in the five minutes it took me to throw on a jacket and hat...Taylor made this beautiful mural on the wall. It's hard to see in the picture but it's beautiful...five feet in length and at least four feet high. And...just so you know, those "Twistable" crayons-from Crayola-that look more like pencils...they don't come off of paint as easy as regular crayons. She's done this once before (on a much smaller scale) and it came off so easy with a baby wipe. This won't even come off with the Mr. Clean magic eraser!! I think we're going to have to repaint. But luckily, this is the color we're going to paint the upstairs. Hopefully, we'll have a post about that soon! Kevin's working really hard to get it finished and now he has the best motivation of all-Taylor! She says, "Daddy work on playroom" now or stands at the stairs and says, "playroom?" So sweet!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307664114140625442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaicY_5wuiI/AAAAAAAAAto/s8HJOSQw4oE/s400/IMG_3785.JPG" border="0" />When Taylor walks by the mural now she either says, "bad girl" or "that's blue."

Had a GREAT day! Really enjoyed the weather and being outside. Well, we finished the day with a bang! That night, 15 minutes after I put her to bed...Taylor climbed out of her crib. And when I say 'climbed', I really mean pulled herself up and fell head first to the floor. Hardwood floor. It was awful! As soon as I heard the thud, I KNEW what had happened and by the time I ran in to get her (10 seconds, top) this is what she looked like...<br /></span><div><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307670791514307362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaiidrDtOyI/AAAAAAAAAug/63QzWWlllwg/s400/taylors+boo+boo.jpg" border="0" />My poor baby girl! We rushed to the hospital to make sure she was ok. It didn't knock her out and the knot came out instead of going in but we had to make sure. They had to do a CT scan to make sure there was no skull fracture. It was a nightmare! And I was so terrified and in a hurry, I ran out of the house in my pajama bottoms and socks! No shoes!! Luckily, I grabbed my jacket. It was a terrible experience, we were there until 4 in the morning. But thank the good Lord my baby girl has a hard head and is tough!! She was perfectly fine. We were so thankful. So we came home and at 4 am we put up...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307664115367762146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaicZEeVWOI/AAAAAAAAAtw/okfNXvXFBFU/s400/IMG_3790.JPG" border="0" />the pack n' play!

She cried for her crib for a few days but she'd also say, "I fall down" and "Taylor boo boo." She's sleeping her usual 12-13 hours a night so she's fine in it until we find the perfect bed for her.<br /><br />This is her new fun place to play...Daddy's closet. A few weeks ago, I cleaned it out for him (which is funny b/c he's the neat freak!). Taylor immediately brought ALL of her stuffed animals and dolls in to play. I guess it was the first time she'd seen the floor in there! There have been several times where I've found the oddest things in Kevin's closet...stuff she's "hiding" from Mommy.<br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaiZ1bs5xEI/AAAAAAAAArw/KYRGhyrRbr4/s1600-h/IMG_3714.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307661304104338498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaiZ1bs5xEI/AAAAAAAAArw/KYRGhyrRbr4/s400/IMG_3714.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaiZ09f_yWI/AAAAAAAAAro/qhMXC95IrX4/s1600-h/IMG_3713.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307661295997143394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SaiZ09f_yWI/AAAAAAAAAro/qhMXC95IrX4/s400/IMG_3713.JPG" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;">Taylor says, "Have a great week, everybody!

In the story, he said something to the effect of...if you say "I love you Daddy, I love you Mommy" then Santa will bring you even MORE toys. We've been trying to get her to say I love you for a while and she'll say something that kind of sounds like it but not quite. Well, last night she said as clear as a bell...I love you Daddy, I love you Mommy! We went crazy of course, especially her Daddy. It was the sweetest thing though, if I do say so myself. :) (She's still winking...)<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280215309601471026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SUcX2Spf-jI/AAAAAAAAAdY/9Uv1kyguM-c/s320/IMG_2909.JPG" border="0" />This is a few of the kids from our playgroup.

Her hubby is Bryan (he works at Georgia Tech and is a HUGE yellow jacket fan :) Next to April (the pregnant one) is Allison and her husband Alan and then Jennifer, Marc and Brady.

We are so thankful for all of our family, our friends and our MANY blessings from above. Taylor says she is thankful for Mommy and Daddy, all the grandparents and great-grandmothers, cousins, chocolate milk, hippo (Wop), dog (Cayman), waffles, Mick Mick (Mickey Mouse), books, bathtime and pink bows.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A-5XgqZI/AAAAAAAAAaA/D9gvqitkQRs/s1600-h/IMG_2582.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273364400481282450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A-5XgqZI/AAAAAAAAAaA/D9gvqitkQRs/s320/IMG_2582.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is Taylor's favorite way to watch T.V.-half on the couch, feet up on the coffee table.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273364368045267890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A9AiKW7I/AAAAAAAAAZo/obSuZygw9Y8/s320/IMG_2615.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div>Taylor helped me put the Christmas tree up a few weeks ago...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A-V-VmiI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/zMlfZTuPBEk/s1600-h/IMG_2585.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273364390980459042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A-V-VmiI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/zMlfZTuPBEk/s320/IMG_2585.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Well, actually she watched Sesame Street while I put the tree up!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A9njoiXI/AAAAAAAAAZw/rozahKmLoIA/s1600-h/IMG_2594.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273364378520422770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SS7A9njoiXI/AAAAAAAAAZw/rozahKmLoIA/s320/IMG_2594.JPG" border="0" /></a> The reason we put the tree up so early was because Kevin and I went to the mountains the weekend before Thanksgiving. This was a present from my parents and very much appreciated!! I know they really just wanted us to go so they could keep Taylor for a whole weekend...but that's okay! We had a great time. It was the first time we had ever left Taylor for two nights.

There was one little restaurant located about halfway up to our chalet and the bear was coming down to get some food! We stopped and tried to get some pictures. This was the best one but you still can't really tell how big he was.

We ran to the bathroom and she actually poopied in the big girl potty! I was so excited...we had only talked a little about using the big girl potty. After she went, we made a big deal about it and she did NOT want to put her pants back on. So this is Taylor running around the house without her pants! She was so happy about using the big girl potty!! She's used it twice since then.

Cayman had climbed into Kevin's lap Saturday morning and Taylor was sitting beside him watching cartoons. She just layed her head over on top of Cayman and they stayed like that forever. He's really good with her...he puts up with a lot. I think he knows that one wrong move and he'll be g-o-n-e!!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254776165514785138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SOy3FN-ysXI/AAAAAAAAAQw/ZE7SANV9wwk/s320/IMG_1982.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02615532218942010047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616723213965931658.post-74546252067790717752008-08-24T08:57:00.000-07:002008-08-24T10:02:18.950-07:00Birthday Parties and Princess Potties<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238116432480853538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHJIIoXiI/AAAAAAAAANY/T2MtoFalFjg/s320/IMG_1737.JPG" border="0" /><br />Happy Birthday Jenna! Friday night, Taylor got to go to her cousin Jenna's birthday party at Ginger's downtown. Jenna is my cousin Kelly's youngest child. She turned four. Taylor had a great time. They posed for a group photo out front.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238115375630193154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGGLnDzEgI/AAAAAAAAAMo/qI8aa-nd8bo/s320/IMG_1708.JPG" border="0" />Here's the birthday girl posing for a shot...<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238116416527234034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHIMs_c_I/AAAAAAAAANA/ZEPwldnJFwM/s320/jennaandmaggie.jpg" border="0" />Cousins make the best friends! Here's Jenna with her first cousin, Maggie Ellen. Maggie is my cousin Brian's little girl. Such pretty girls!!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238116429342376050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHI8cXAHI/AAAAAAAAANQ/mqzmD3yqoTk/s320/IMG_1725.JPG" border="0" />Here's Taylor with the boys.

She ate it up! Carson is JUST LIKE his dad, Brian. Brian is five years older than me and he used to love on me like crazy. Carson told Taylor, "You might not love me yet, but I LOVE you!" So sweet!!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGMUgInEQI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/WKvXasyQzms/s1600-h/justin+with+dolls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238122125459919106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGMUgInEQI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/WKvXasyQzms/s320/justin+with+dolls.jpg" border="0" /></a> "Why am I holding these dolls?!?" Taylor wanted Justin to hold the dolls. The birthday party was a tea party with your favorite doll baby so all of the little girls brought their dolls with them. Justin was a huge help with Taylor and she just loved it! He's a great big brother and big cousin.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238122114255056002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGMT2ZKbII/AAAAAAAAAOA/38W83ylofjU/s320/IMG_1728.JPG" border="0" />"Hold my doll, Meme, I've got to play!"<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHIRBNZTI/AAAAAAAAANI/oR6ZE_P8mSE/s1600-h/taywalking.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238116417685775666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHIRBNZTI/AAAAAAAAANI/oR6ZE_P8mSE/s320/taywalking.jpg" border="0" /></a> "Birthday parties are so much fun!

This was us playing 'hot potato'. We were passing around a doll bottle. When it got to Taylor she yelled, "ba-ba" (bottle) and stuck it straight in her mouth! We've been off the bottle for about four months now and this was the first time she'd seen a real one in a while!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238122132053375682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGMU4snOsI/AAAAAAAAAOY/RwmVCXcE3r8/s320/IMG_1749.JPG" border="0" />And she cried as I made her pass it on. Everytime it came around the circle, she cried. Didn't really understand the concept of the game...it was just plain mean!!!<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238116437353617938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SLGHJaSY2hI/AAAAAAAAANg/uuzTfMGJwec/s320/IMG_1783.JPG" border="0" /> The Princess Potty chair!!! Taylor's 'Aunt Cindy' or 'sissie' as she tries to say bought her this precious new potty chair. It is the cutest thing ever!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!! Taylor got up this morning and put on her new GT cheerleader outfit just for her daddy. Kevin made the mistake of telling me that he wanted (for his birthday, now) Taylor to have a GT cheerleader outfit! So I ordered her one, of course!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWCXIPpWTI/AAAAAAAAAKU/UauUZKd0T1I/s1600-h/IMG_1609.JPG"></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWCXWBCCLI/AAAAAAAAAKc/JPwWIQz8S6U/s1600-h/IMG_1612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234733479446579378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWCXWBCCLI/AAAAAAAAAKc/JPwWIQz8S6U/s320/IMG_1612.JPG" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234739553483603554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWH45kTvmI/AAAAAAAAAK8/7ogStbawT-w/s320/IMG_1606.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234735616919987810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWETwuZ5mI/AAAAAAAAAK0/dV-YBi819yY/s320/IMG_1605.JPG" border="0" />Birthday hugs and kisses! Taylor has learned to wink at the camera. We've been working on saying "cheese" and smiling really big but she started this on her on. Taylor gave her Daddy a basket of football season goodies. GT toys and snacks for the big games coming up. Maybe Tech will have a good season?? :)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWCX9iJ36I/AAAAAAAAAKk/R1rqcheI7NI/s1600-h/IMG_1602.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234733490054487970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKWCX9iJ36I/AAAAAAAAAKk/R1rqcheI7NI/s320/IMG_1602.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here's her "cheese" face.

Taylor got right on! No riding for her til she's bigger, though. They might get me for putting this on here but helmet hair is cool !!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_2s5R8YI/AAAAAAAAAJs/5Xavp4KbI3k/s1600-h/IMG_1591.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234730719629144450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_2s5R8YI/AAAAAAAAAJs/5Xavp4KbI3k/s320/IMG_1591.JPG" border="0" /></a> Ellie Grace came over Monday morning before our play group. Jaime dropped her off so she could go to an appt. and the girls had so much fun playing while I finished getting ready.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_2yWcKAI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/gWIrDT8yjdo/s1600-h/IMG_1595.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234730721093625858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_2yWcKAI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/gWIrDT8yjdo/s320/IMG_1595.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here we are in the car. It was so much fun to have both girls together. Ellie Grace has got her "cheese" face down pat!! They sang along with the radio (The Backyardigans CD, of course) and made this funny clicking noise at each other. Their own secret language already???<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_3J56jEI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/GBsg4ZPs3sE/s1600-h/IMG_1598.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234730727416433730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SKV_3J56jEI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/GBsg4ZPs3sE/s320/IMG_1598.JPG" border="0" /></a> We had to lower Taylor's crib, finally. She helped her Daddy with the job. This looks like a posed shot but it really wasn't! She was in the middle of everything and really thought she was helping.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02615532218942010047noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616723213965931658.post-87753474104142046882008-08-05T15:29:00.000-07:002008-08-05T18:03:16.098-07:00Taylor's Road TripLast weekend we went to visit Brad, Kristen and Caleb in South Carolina.

When we dropped the kids off at the nursery they both started crying. That made all of the other children start crying! It was chaos.

They stayed under this thing forever. Gave the grown-ups a break and chance to eat lunch!

Here are the little girls in our play group. Taylor is the youngest at 16 mos. and Ellie Grace (in aqua) is the oldest at 22 mos.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SJjdPNJ8-3I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/jY3ahUv4klA/s1600-h/IMG_1579.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231174220490013554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SJjdPNJ8-3I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/jY3ahUv4klA/s320/IMG_1579.JPG" border="0" /></a> Taylor and Ellie Grace playing in the kitchen.

She pulls it out whenever she's watching t.v. or reading.

Taylor celebrated with a pool party and a church cookout.<br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJN8O2ta5I/AAAAAAAAADw/xYxyXLEt5Bk/s1600-h/IMG_1510.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220320615250881426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJN8O2ta5I/AAAAAAAAADw/xYxyXLEt5Bk/s320/IMG_1510.JPG" border="0" /></a> Taylor loves her books! Her mom's a reading teacher-what do you expect? :) Notice that in most pictures she won't look at the camera, much less smile. I think we've ruined her from all the papparazi-style photo shots (grandparents!) but this smile was a product of her daddy. All he has to do is walk into the room and this is what we get!<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJN8s7OMuI/AAAAAAAAAD4/EfqSqEnQHMo/s1600-h/IMG_1447.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220320623322870498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJN8s7OMuI/AAAAAAAAAD4/EfqSqEnQHMo/s320/IMG_1447.JPG" border="0" /></a> How many teacher's kids can you fit into a baby pool? Taylor's playing with my friend Kinga's kids -Kenzi (right next to Taylor) and Jonah. Emma (in the blue bathing suit) is my friend Beth's daughter. Taylor stayed with Jonah two days a week this past school year and they are special friends.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJNd6Vo3pI/AAAAAAAAADo/S7OLhqK5zXI/s1600-h/IMG_1468.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220320094347386514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJNd6Vo3pI/AAAAAAAAADo/S7OLhqK5zXI/s320/IMG_1468.JPG" border="0" /></a> This was a cute shot of Taylor running out of my closet. She likes to play chase. Notice-not looking at the camera.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJIdjvXXvI/AAAAAAAAADg/i1DzpVV7cCw/s1600-h/IMG_1464.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220314590723137266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SHJIdjvXXvI/AAAAAAAAADg/i1DzpVV7cCw/s320/IMG_1464.JPG" border="0" /></a> Taylor loves playing in my closet and especially with my shoes! I didn't think this would start so early. However, she does NOT like changing clothes at all, so Mom says she might not be my child.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02615532218942010047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616723213965931658.post-41367982284814253662008-06-26T14:28:00.000-07:002008-06-26T18:58:42.586-07:00Pool Time<span style="color:#33ccff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216307012606377810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_nG9lNQEcCvk/SGQLlz3IP1I/AAAAAAAAACI/K0LA_VEIEfE/s320/IMG_1434.JPG" border="0" /></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Okay, so I finally got around to getting Taylor's blog up and going.
