Monkey Cake!

We love our Birthday Girl!

Hamming it up for the camera!

Passed out on Grandpa from all the fun!

They love each other!

These two have known each other since Day 1 (Emmitt is 3 weeks older) and I thought these pics from the party were just too cute not too share!! Here's to future Taylor having boyfriends in the future that we approve of and who's parents we love! You two are cute little love bugs!!

Our Monkey's !st Birthday!!

"You look like a Monkey, and you smell like one tooo..." Our Monkey's first birthday party went off without a hitch! We had an amazing day filled with tons of fun, friends, food, and presents. Thank you to all our friends and family who made it over to Lawrence to celebrate our little girl's special day!

Little Miss Personality

These pictures are from dinner tonight and I had to show them off because they had me cracking up! Little Miss Tay is showing us so much personality these days! She loves sticking out her tongue at us....probably not a good thing to start....but still hilarious!!! Taylor is also talking so much lately...she is offically saying "mama" "dada" "uh oh" "hiya" "dogga" (or something like that when she is referring to dogs...and tons of tons of babbling!! I can't believe how fun this is...and we can't even understand her yet=) Love you little stinker!

What a difference a year makes!

Chuck E Cheese!

Luke and I decided to take our birthday girl to Chuck E Cheese! We weren't sure if she would "get it" quite yet but boy were we wrong....she loved! She loved the characters on stage and she enjoyed the little rides made especially for toddlers! Luke and I had just as much fun as she did playing pop a shot and skee ball. We are definitely enjoying this whole mommy and daddy thing. Thank you Taylor for being the best little girl anyone could ask for!!! We love you!

Snooping in the pantry before we were getting ready to leave!

Loved riding in the car with Chuck!

My Baby is ONE!

My baby girl is ONE today! We are having her birthday party on the 13th but we couldn't let her birthday weekend go by without a "practice" cake...especially since little Miss Tay is feeding herself now. She didn't even hesitate...she loved it!! It was hilarious...she kept going back for more, it was awesome. Happy Birthday Monkey! I love you!!
