The Blizzard of 2K10

I didn't think I would ever hear myself say these words, BUT I am completely over the snow. It sure is beautiful when it is coming down and fun to play in for about 30 minutes. Shoveling snow, defrosting your car, working for hours to get your car out of your driveway, cleaning your floors consistently because snow keeps getting dragged in, is NOT so much fun. So, I think it would be perfect if the snow would fall, look beautiful and then melt away and leave the following day. Here are some pictures of our major snow blizzard last weekend.

The snow stacked up after we shoveled our walkway.

Taylor was sleeping so we went and played in it. The dogs LOVE the snow. You can tell how deep it is by looking at Aubrey.

Snow Angel

I am attempting to run in the snow.

Rich, this picture is for you. John wanted you to know he was practicing for our beach trip. You might be wondering if boogie boarding in the snow would work....

It doesn't. By far my favorite picture of the day. Please click on it so you can see all the snow on his face....haha

Scenery shot

After nap time we decided to attempt a family walk. John had major cabin fever and wanted to get out of the house. Family walk consisted of walking three houses down. Taylor was not a fan of the snow hitting her face...to be honest I wasn't either. We like being inside in the heat.

There is a car somewhere underneath all that snow.

Taylor decided she wasn't really ready for her afternoon nap. I could hear her talking over the monitor. We have a video monitor so I turned it on to see what she was doing. This is what I saw...

Its safe to say, Taylor found the video monitor.

Play Date with Anna

Today we went over to the Beringer's and had a play date. Anna is one month older then Taylor and they might not be aware of it yet, but they are going to be great friends. Well Anna might not want to be Taylor's friend after Taylor stole all of her toys, pulled her hair and acted like she had never heard of the word SHARE. Here are some pictures:

Taylor and Anna looking at Dewer. Notice Taylor's big girl shoes. They squeak when she walks. I wonder how long it will take until John and I rip the squeakers out?!?!

Taylor trying to take away Anna's toy.



Taylor is mad because she wants Anna's toy.

Anna and Taylor playing nicely for now...

Follow the leader. Over the table leg under the lamp cord. Final destination - doll house

You might think...how cute they are holding hands. Don't be fooled Taylor is mad and is probably hitting her or something.

Laid back Anna, Sweet Sally and disheveled, tired, hungry Taylor

We have been home for 2 hours and she is still sleeping. Our morning play date wore her out.

Anybody else want to have a play date with us? I swear she is usually sweet:)

10 Months Old

Taylor turned 10 months old on Monday. Its hard for me to believe my little baby has gotten so big. She has been out of my belly longer then she was in my belly:) My sweet gift to her for her 10 month birthday was a pediatrician appointment. The doctor flat out told me that my sweet "little" baby's measurements were that of a one year old and that she was going to be one tall girl. Thanks MOSSES and JOHNSONS. At 10 months Taylor's stats are:
Weight - 22.4 pounds (she likes food; what can I say)
Height - 30 inches (Thanks John)
Head Circumference - 46 cm
Here are some pictures that I snapped of her today!

Taylor LOVES the tupperware drawer. She takes everything out and then puts it back in and then takes it back out. At least she somewhat cleans up after herself

Hampden is supervising making sure that no food magically appears out of that drawer

Taylor LOVES bath time. I need a wetsuit since after the bath is over I am completely soaked and so is the floor.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Remember I lived in Alabama, so kissing cousins to me is just fine. Technically Brayden is a second cousin once removed...I think. All that once removed stuff is very confusing. I see nothing wrong with a 9 1/2 month old and a 17 month old sharing a quick kiss. We are just starting them out young. I'm just kidding "Incest is not best". But if you can look past the fact that they are kind of related this is by far the cutest B and T picture yet!!


Here are a few more cute pictures from our play date!

Taylor trying to get a piggy back ride from Brayden. Brayden trying to escape from Taylor

Taylor is begging or should I say forcing him to stay. He is pleading for her to let him go.

We quickly moved onto snack time. Snack time was a big hit for both. Brayden seriously has about 6 cheese curls in his mouth in this picture. Taylor's cup is empty, so she moved on to eating the actual cup.

Even Abby participated in the play date. As you can see she is licking her lips because she ate about half of their snacks.

Hopefully John is Color Blind!

John called me this morning after dropping Taylor off at daycare. He was telling me about their morning and briefly said "I didn't put a hat on her because she had that big ole bow in her hair". Quickly I got very nervous because I had not laid a bow out and I remembered that there was a red bow laying on her dresser. But I just knew that John would definitely know that a red bow does not match a hot pink outfit. Apparently in his eyes they match. I asked him in a very calm voice what bow he put in her hair. He responded with "the red bow you left out". I quickly asked him how a red bow matched her outfit and he proceeded to tell me it looked very nice and matched great. This was the first morning that I told him that he got to pick out her socks, jacket, bow and hat. I think it is safe to say that those privileges have been revoked. Some might be thinking that I shouldn't get upset with this and just be thankful that he actually puts a bow in her hair. Well you are wrong!! It just upsets me to pieces to think she is sporting a red bow with a hot pink outfit. I considering calling the daycare and asking them to remove it but I don't want them to know how petty I am:). In case you were wondering if the sweet ladies would take the non-matching bow out. Well, of course not they think it looks great too!

Taylor looks a little puzzled by the red bow

She quickly got over it and thinks the blinds are much more fun

The red bow even clashes with her cool new pink car.

Thanks Johnson Family for her cute outfit. I am sure when you bought it you were not envisioning a red bow!

She's a Cruising Machine...

Taylor is "cruising" all over the place now. She loves her new found freedom that her legs have provided to her. John and I on the other hand are scared for what's soon in store for us!
