Taylor Turns 2!!! (Feb 27)


WOW .... It seemed like just yesterday we were watching our little redheaded ball of energy be born and here we are 2 years later. Taylor is her own little person and when they say red heads have attitude they were right. The girl keeps us laughing and she loves her big sister Alexis very much. I just hope they grow up with the same bond Heather & Stephanie have.
As well as the laughs she brings to our family it's like one day she woke up talking where we could understand her. Her vocabulary is growing everyday and I think she just finally figured out she can form her words so that we don't give her the "deer in the headlight" look when she talks because we can't understand her ... we were having to rely on Heather for translation and sometime she doesn't even know what she is saying.
Taylor had her birthday party at a Gynmastics place in Redding. The kids were able to run and play and have the place to themselves. With all the padding around we didn't have to worry about anyone getting hurt. The favorite place was the foam pit. A large area about 10x10 full of 6 inch foam squares. You run down the pad and jump in ... I'm sure it has a good purpose in the gynastics world but for these little ones it was just fun to run and jump. Even Heather & Stephanie took a turn jumping into the pit.

Never too old!


When Steph was small she had a love for Tonka Trucks. We bought her quite a few of the large metal trucks to play in the sandbox with. She would spend hours just having a great time creating her own world and moving dirt with her DumpTruck and DirtMover. While in Vegas she came across this kid ride and couldn't resist. Just goes to show you're never too old for a Tonka Truck!!!
