Tay 3rd birthday

I can't believe my sweet Taylyn is already 3. She is growing so fast. It has been a great year with lots of learning and developing on both ends. We love her to pieces and she can always make us laugh, she comes up with the funniest things to say! Happy Birthday my Sweet Taylyn!

Every time we went to any grocery store for about 2 months before her birthday she would ask to go see her Princess Birthday cake. I was going to try and make one but her heart was set on that one and she asked Daddy, "Oh Please O Please can I have MY Princess Cake." That is all it took. She was so excited and told everyone that she was having a princess party.Princess cake always taste better than regular cake!

She even got a princess sticker that she wore for dinner at the Pizza Factory and them took it off cause it's only for dinner according to her!

Here is Taylyn with her friends- Brandon, Aiden, Andee, Tay, Collin, Allie, Lacy, Jaxon, Ashlynn We invited the Family and the Hillstead's over for cake and ice cream. She was pretty excited to have so many people to play with!Here's part of the family. Willie, Nana, Maile, Cassie, Shon, Regan, Nana, Papa, Chad, and Melissa all came over to celebrate Taylyn turning 3. She told Maile that she wanted a princess chair and a princess cake for her birthday. Maile got her a princess chair.
We love you Taylyn and hope you had a special day!

Tay

She went through a phase where she only wanted to take naps in my bed, but she would bring in a whole bucket of stuff to sleep with her.

Daddy can fit in Taylyn's bed. She told him he was too big, which means he got in to prove otherwise. The were pretending to sleep for the picture! I put her in her bed and came in a little while later to find her on the ground!We were shopping at Big Lots and she was standing in the cart after I had told her to sit down a few time. I turned the corner and didn't see the edge of the shelf. She went over the front of the cart and landed on her back, and boy did she scream! This isn't a good picture but you can see where it starts and where it ends.She wanted to dress herself and of course Daddy said yes and this is how she came out of her room.

Childrens Festival of Trees

We helped Linda this year decorate for the Children's Festival of Trees. It turned out really cute. Linda and Peggy have the coolest decoration. Here are a few pictures of the kids!

Jax wanted to help too!

Taylyn, Cassie and Maile's idea of helping!!!

Taylyn wanted to be a part of the decorations with the dog. She carried it around the entire time we decorated!

These were taken in the North Pole area.

My little smiley boy!! Jaxon really wanted a candy cane!!!

There's the favorite dog again.

This is the scene Cody and I decorated.I also did this tree. Why look when you can eat????Sneaking onto Santa's throne!

She asked if she could sleep there.

Who wouldn't love a soft life sized reindeer?

Taylyn was talking to Jax.

We went to eat breakfast with Santa. Taylyn was a little nervous at first but was brave and finally sat on his lap. Jaxon on the other hand was following in his sister reaction the last 2 years... not a huge fan!Princess area downstairs!
We saw Santa later that day sitting on his throne!
We got pretty much the same reaction as the morning!A little more comfortable. She even told him she wanted a kitchen and baby doll!

Office Christmas Party

We had the office Christmas Party at our house this year. It was a lot of work but so much fun. We ate lots of food and played some fun games!

Tired of the Snow!!!

We all had just had it with the snow and decided to go to Nana Papa's in October. The kids loved being outside.....

She saw the pool and had a blast swimming, until the bubbles got on her face and then she was done!!!!!

Watching a movie with Jax Man!
