My Taylor Turns 6!

Happy Happy Birthday to my Sweet Taylor! This girl has grown in such an incredible way the last year we love her tender heart, mothering spirit and the love she shares so openly around our home. Taylor is currently in Kindergarten at Legacy Traditional School hear in Maricopa. She really loves to learn and loves making new friends. She LOVES getting to spend time doing anything physical with her grandparents and family She recently started Rock Climbing lessons and is doing great!

Taylor had her cousins over on her actual birthday and then she also had a friend party on Saturday. We had a "Tangled" themed Party where the girls Painted Rapunzel's walls, Hit the pinata with a frying pan, made frying pan necklaces and decorated Rapunzel's braid with lots of flowers. They had a great time!

These aren't the best pictures but Look how big our girl is getting. She is SO outgoing and fun. She will try almost anything! She is rock climbing at Lifetime Fitness!

Taylor's Final Preschool Graduation

Colin and his backpack! He can hardly wait to go to school just like Tay!

Taylor Loves her brother and sister and as you can See Morgy LOVES~Taylor Too! She wasn't feeling to well that day but couldn't miss graduation!

This is Taylor's 3rd preschool graduation but it is her final one! She starts Kindergarten In August! I can hardly believe it. I have been up and down on deciding which school to send her to and if she should be in full day or half day!

Taylor is a very sweet little girl. She is a great example and very smart. She LOVES her family she is always telling me and her dad how much she loves us. They called her the little mother of the preschool. She keeps everyone on task and is always there to help when someone is sad or gets hurt. We were so very proud of our Tay! We love her to pieces!

Taylor Turns 5! January 6, 2010

Happy 5th Birtday Taylor!!!

Our Miss Taylor turned 5 on January 6th!

All she wanted for her birthday was a watch like mom's! So we got out the beads and she made herself a watch. She also had preschool on her birthday so she got to take cupcakes and treats for all her preschool friends. We then had cake at home with our little family and opened presents from grandparents and family. The weekend after her birthday we did a build a bear with some of her friends. When she was asked who we should invite she was sure she didn't want boys at her party! It was pretty cute. She wanted everyone to come but we had to put a limit somewhere! So she chose just the girls from her preschool class to join her at build a bear. She also sometime decided she no longer wanted a birthday cake she wanted birthday donuts. (sound like anyone we know? Grandpa Martin) The girls all made animals and had a little t-shirt to put on their pet. It was a lot of fun and I am completely amazed that my girl is 5!

Wanna be like you hoo hoo

Taylor never misses an opportunity to be just like her dad. She is almost always willing to try what he does. She loves to do what he does and be just like him!

Build a bear party

Taylor got to go to a birthday party at build a bear! What a great place. The kids all enjoyed it and Taylor has hardly let that bear go! She named her bear Taylor stars and now wants to name all her dolls and animals with shape names. A bit odd :) This was only the second birthday party taylor has been to since she has really gotten the entire birthday concept and I am hearing it daily about how she didn't get a party! 

Taylor's Dance Recital

Here is a video ( hopefully) of Taylor's Dance recital. She worked really hard in her class every week and i think she learned a lot and she looks super cute. Great work Tay!!

Me (with my new hair) and My Girls

Tay and I were having a good time taking pictures. Just us girls! And you can see my new do!

update

Here are some pictures of the kiddos! Morgyn is doing great. She hasn't had any problems since she has been home. Colin is loving his new sister. He also has a few new obsessions... hats and this princess bucket of toys that he carries everywhere. Taylor LOVEs her new sister also. She thinks she is nearly big enough to take care of her all on her own. Dad is back to work but wishing he could be home with the rest of us. I am working toward figuring this whole 3 kids thing out. I have managed to go grocery shopping, make dinner (at least twice) and keep the house from being a total disater! So i guess i am surviving :)

Making Cookies with Grandma

Love this picture. Making christmas cookies! She loves to cook!

Fishing

These pictures are from the day after Christmas when Josh took the kids fishing because Taylor got a " Fish rope" from Santa. She has been asking for one since September. She was slightly disappointed not to catch a fish although it may have tramatized her to actually catch one who knows, maybe she has a tougher skin than I know. Anyway even though it was REALLY cold ( for arizona) they enjoyed being out with thier dad and trying the new toy out!

Taylor is 4!

I can not believe it! My Little girl turns 4 today! She also starts back to preschool from the holiday break! She is having the ultimate day! Here are pictures from this morning opening her presents then we are going to go to Amazing Jakes to celebrate as a family! More pictures of that to come!
