Halloween 2007

Well, I know it's been entirely too long since I last posted on this page! Things have been really crazy around here. Taylor and I are living with my parents right now. We are all six moved into the new house now. We really like it. It is nice for now. Taylor and I will be getting our own place soon. We need our own space, but it's so wonderful to have family.

I've been thinking about family a lot lately. Family can be anyone. Just because they are related, does not make them actual family. Real family are the people who always stick beside you and do whatever they can to support you. They are the ones who call to check on you, or just to chat because they know you need it. They are the people who really care. The people who will go through the tough stuff with you, just because it's the right thing to do. I love my real family. I really do!! To those of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Many of you know how incredibly hard the last few months have been, but you have been there by my side, listening and really supporting me. You'll never ever know how truly thankful Taylor and I are!


So, now here's what you really came for . . . new pictures!!

What a beautiful smile!!

Aren't the pumpkins cute! She liked doing this!

Mommy, what is inside here? Can I eat it??

It was a wonderful first Halloween!

Just a cute picture, she got caught doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing!


I LOVE this picture! She was the cutest cow I've ever seen!

She laughed everytime she saw her reflection in a mirror!!

Look at that cute tail! She was all over the yard exploring!

Mommy and Taylor. We were all bundled up, it was cold outside!

Isn't she adorable? Look at that tongue!

We had a great Halloween. Taylor was the most adorable cow I've ever seen! She's such a happy baby! She loves to smile, talk and laugh. She's been the greatest blessing in my entire life. She really makes me slow down and be thankful for all the blessing I do have in my life.

Taylor and I made a trip down to Dallas a few weekends ago. I can not believe I did not get one single picture from that trip. I have the most adorable neice and nephew ever! Taylor had so much fun playing with them. Thank you to Josh and Cindy for letting us come crash at your place! Check out their page too! Ok, now you guys are on the spot and have to updated it too!

Check back soon, I'll try really hard to keep the pictures coming more frequently!

Race for the Cure!

Saturday we all went and participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure. The credit union put together a team and so we all joined in. It was a good time! And for a great cause. We are already talking about doing it again next year. Four generations fighting for a cure!

A cute family picture. It was nice to be all together for a little while!

I love this picture. Strength in numbers.

We all had a great time! It was amazing to get to do it together. There were over 4100 people walking for the cure! These are our credit union group shirts and the survivor shirts. They are really cute! Mema looked so cute in her hat and shirt!

Taylor had too much fun and pooped out about half way through the race! It was an adventure.

Pictures from GG and Granddad's visit

Three generations.

Taylor's first Nutty Bar! YUM!! She LOVED it, and made a great big mess.




Granddad and Taylor. What an adorable picture!! We've had so much fun with them here the last few days!



Granddad is helping her jump. She loves to play with Granddad and copy what he does.



Four Generations

Taylor, GG, and Granddaddy. Taylor was telling GG something very important. Too bad we can't understand her yet.










Taylor's new Pajamas. She was laughing so hard!







They came with a hat and it made her look like a Christmas elf.







Taylor and Mommy!







We're all ready for Christmas. She loves this Frosty. You touch it and it starts to sing a song and sways.







Aren't these overalls the cutest?

On the Move

Taylor is crawling!! She has been crawling the last two and a half days. She is so cute doing it! She's pulling up too. I haven't seen it yet, but mom and Derek have. She pulled up on her toy box and on the couch. I can't wait to see her do it!

She's still sick, so say a prayer for her. She still feels crummy, but I think its a little better. Two ear infections and a sore throat are hard on a little one. We are all taking turns sleeping with her. Whenever she lays down on her back, she starts coughing really bad. So, we are spoling her a lot by holding her so she can sit up and sleep.

More cute pictures!

Taylor is just almost crawling. She is doing the army crawl, and taking a few little crawling steps. Soon, she'll be everywhere. She has a little stuffy nose, so we're going to see the doctor tomorrow. Better safe than sorry!

Work is going great. I might start working there full time, can't decide yet. Taylor is loving spending time with my parents and grandparents, but she still misses her dad a lot! Me too.

Taylor went to her first football game on Friday. She loved it. She actually slept for part of it, but she loved the band. It was Homecoming, so of course she loved all the mums and bells too. She'd clap when everyone else did. It sounded like she was saying, "Yeah, Panthers!" It was great to see some old friends! Dad and I had a good time with her!

My other set of grandparents will be here this weekend so I'm sure we will have some more pictures up soon. Enjoy these cute ones!

More Visitors

Nana, Papa, Aunt D and Mimi all came up to watch a football game and stopped in to see Taylor. Here are some of the pictures. Taylor really wanted to play with Papa's toothpick. She showed them how close she is to crawling. It was a nice visit.

Time with Aunt Whitney

Yesterday was quite an eventful day. My mom's surgery went really good. There was good and not so great news. The not so good news was once he got the ovary out the back side looked a little scary. The good news was he got all the cysts out in one piece. He ran a blood test before the surgery. It came back very positive, which most likely means no cancer, but we'll know for sure after it gets back from the lab. She did great during the surgery. She was in a lot of pain afterwards, so they decided to keep her overnight.

Whitney came up and stayed the night with us last night. We stayed up way to late! But, it was great fun to have her here! Taylor LOVES to play with her. Whitney's getting better and better with Taylor everytime they see each other. Whitney gave her a bath last night. These are the cute pictures from it! Enjoy!!

Here are a few pictures I just loved from Whitney's wedding. I had to share them too!
