Mama gets away for the weekend

This weekend I went to Des Moines, Iowa to celebrate my 10th Reunion (really 11th but our school does "cluster reunions"). It was so much fun, but I did miss my team at home. Scott was good enough to send me picture texts often enough that I got to see Taylor when I really missed her. Funny enough all the texts were of Taylor in her baseball cap, which makes me smile. I can totally picture her and her Dada hanging out in their hats. :) Here are two of my favorite pictures from the weekend. Please excuse the fuzziness, Scott's new cell isn't as good with the pictures as his old one was!

Fun with Aunt Brooke and Uncle Dave!

Aunt Brooke and Uncle Dave came to visit. They were in town for Passover Dinner (Happy Pesach!) and to celebrate Brooke's birthday. Happy Belated birthday, Auntie Brooke!!!! Today they brought over bagels and cream cheese (which we all know is the way straight to Taylor's heart!) and played all morning. What a fun time!!!

Sunday at the Park

An Update with Pictures

Ok, we got a new camera, and have been taking pictures, so let's get them up on the blog!

Here's the little lady with an apple in one hand (not sharing with me), a cell phone in her other hand (stolen from me), her hat, and her favorite Elmo in Las Vegas t-shirt!!

Here's one of Taylor and her cousin Riley checking their email:

Taylor and her buddy Tyler going for a ride on the horse:


Here is Taylor reading the Sunday paper, and clipping coupons. She actually found an Elmo make Bubbles toy and got pretty excited about it. Also, while we drink our coffee, Taylor apparently likes to flip through the paper under the table. It was a bad hair day, but that's what happens sometimes if I'm in charge.

Lately with the weather warming up, Taylor loves to spend her time at the park. She actually doesn't like the swing as much as she used to because I think it restricts her. Lately, she just likes to walk around and try everything at the park. Swings, the sandbox, running around with the ball, and saying hi to new friends of hers. She's a really funny kid, and we're glad she's ours! Taylor is definitely teaching us, as much as we're teaching her!
