Pictures

We tried out Taylor's new water table in the basement. She liked playing in the water, but also just liked being in the basement!

More Birthday Fun!

On Sunday we went out to lunch to celebrate Taylor's birthday and then came back and had ice cream cake!

Taylor got to try out her gift from us....a new car! She was unsure at first but now loves to be pushed around the house in it.

She really likes the balloon tied to her chair, she holds on to it during most meals.

And while we were eating dinner Sunday night we had a visitor behind our house!

and he brought 17 friends! There were 18 deer back there....they just kept coming!!!

Lastly, here are some more pictures from Taylor's birthday party!

Happy Birthday Taylor!!!

Yesterday we had a party for Taylor with our friends and family. We had a great time and glad everyone was able to make it!!! Here are a few pictures (we'll add more later).

Here's the cake Mommy made

mmmm....cake!

Happy Girl!

Taylor has been such a happy girl lately. She'll laugh at pretty much anything we do.....

except when I won't let her play with the camera, poor girl!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I had a great Valentine's (Week) Day!! I woke up from my nap Friday afternoon and Grandma and Grandpa Parker had this picnic table waiting for me! I can't wait to use it outside this summer with my friends.

I had my snack on it!
Then this morning Mommy made me a heart shaped blueberry muffin for breakfast. After we went to the YMCA I came home and opened some gifts from Oma and Opa and Aunt Dodie. Thank you!!!

Then I helped Mommy with the laundry!

And had a great dinner (trying out one of my new hair bows Aunt Dodie made)!

Love you all!!!

Heat Wave

We had some nice warm(er) weather today so Troy and I ran outside with Taylor in the jogging stroller and then when we came back we let Taylor take her baby for a walk outside.

And....some Valentine's Day presents came in the mail and Taylor opened them a little early!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Larkins and Aunt Heather!!!
Loved the bow!

Lastly, Taylor stood all on her own last night! Yeah!

Beads!

Daddy and Mommy brought back these beads from their ski trip this weekend and they were so fun to play with!

Hey Daddy, give those back!

I tried out my Purdue hat from Camden today too. This is what I thought of their game today...Just cute!

Big Stuff

Taylor has really been into pushing things around lately. Apparently her walking toys just aren't cutting it anymore.....she had to move on to furniture.

Kitchen Makeover

We just finished our first major project since moving in to the new house....a kitchen makeover. We (mostly Troy) added a tile backsplash and painted. We're really pleased with how it all turned out! Here is the before shot...

finished!

Snow Fun!!!

Since it was finally above freezing, we decided to take Taylor out in the snow for a little bit this afternoon. She really seemed to like it, especially the slide Daddy built in the snow for her. She also liked watching the neighbor kids play and have a snowball fight.

Getting suited up in her 1980's flourescent pink bibs (a 99 cent e-bay purchase)!!

This is going to be fun!!

So fun!!!
