Decorating for Christmas

Taylor is reading us her favorite Itsy Bitsy Spider book!

We bought Taylor her very own pink Christmas Tree last year~ She helped mommy decorate it! Or should I say tried to undo everything I did...but oh well, it's her tree! She has it in her room and it looks sooo cute!!

Studying where the next ornament should go (or which ornament she should take off next)

Logan's 4th Bday

It doesn't seem possible but our nephew Logan turned 4 this month and wow how those 4 years flew by!! Taylor enjoyed her spongebob birthday hat, hanging out with all the boy cousins and eating cake!!

Girl in pink with all those boys!!

Preggo with Baby Bell #2

We are happy to announce that Taylor is going to be a BIG SISTER! Baby Bell is due May 13th. Luke and I heard the amazing sound of our little one's heartbeat last Monday (Oct. 19) and are feeling so blessed about our growing family. Taylor has no idea what she is in for, but we figured we better give her a sibling so she doesn't turn out to be a total spoiled little stinker. (We definitely see how easy that is to do) Thanks for following our journey and we will keep you posted through it all!

Time with Cousins

My cousin Samantha hosted a dinner at her house Sunday night. We had a great time getting together with my cousins, spouses, and the little ones! We love how quickly our family is growing! Taylor and Tristan sure are getting quite the personalities and I LOVE it!

Taylor and her cousin, Tristan! 9 months apart and the gap is closing quickly....what a ham!

Pretty little pumpkin!

Taylor, Laina, and Tristan! How quickly our family is growing!

More pumpkin patch

So many pumpkins....how do you decide which one to take home??

Taylor loved the corn maze the best!

This way Momma, let's go this way!

Me and my little leopard! Happy Halloween!

Hanging out and Pumpkin Patch

We got together for our monthly girl's get together and had to take some pics in our matching outfits! Taylor and Halli are growing up so quickly! It gets more and more fun everytime we get together! Love you Halli and Kristen!

Twinkies!

And more Twinkies!! Taylor is seeing double with her best friends, Allie and Dani!=)

Taylor absolutely loved the pumpkin patch and the corn maze!

Hanging out with Daddy!

Monkeying Around

Climbing on everything!

But so darn cute!

Decided she didn't want to wait on me to take her bath!

Fun Times with Daddy

Taylor loves her Daddy. She loves rough housing, being chased around the house, and most recently, being dragged across the kitchen floor=) She made him do this forever! Our floor never looked so clean=) Hehe. Luke is enjoying this change, because there was quite a few months where she only wanted ME, if I was in the room or even in the house...she would seek me out and Daddy just wouldn't do. This new Daddy appreciation is a good thing for all of us!

Our new floor sweeper!

Daddy's little girl!

Loves (obsessed) with her shoes! All shoes! Every shoe!

We look away for a second, and this is what she is doing when we look back. Of course we scolded her and then grabbed the camera and made her do it again. (mixed messages?) Oh well!

Circus and Baby Charlie

Luke and I decided to take Taylor to the circus on Friday night! We went with our friends, Eric, Nealy, and their little boy, Emmitt. It was at the Sprint Center and the kids really liked it. We didn't get any pics besides this one because it was very dark and my hands were "full" the entire show....but we had a great time. Taylor's favorite parts were the animals and all the music and lights. It is so much fun being able to re-live childhood through your own child....and it's just beginning!

Our friend Jen Jordan's new baby boy, Charlie...

Taylor trying to find the baby..."It's right there, that cute little lump on Ashley's chest..." =)

I have been so happy that my best college girl friends and I have been able to get together about once a month for the last few years! We have so much fun getting together and keeping up on each other's lives. There are three kids in the Pi Phi family so far...it has been a blast being there for each other through engagements, marriages, pregnancies, and babies.....great friends, great times. Love you girls!

Taylor Plays Mommy!

Taylor really loves pushing her baby stroller around the house . She goes and gets her baby, loads her up in the stroller, and off they go! She has even been putting "food" in the bottom part of the stroller for the baby...hilarious! Of course, this often ends with her throwing the baby onto the ground and running her over with the stroller....but we will work on that issue later.
