New shoes and Deanna Rose

How cute are these hot pink Chucks?? I found them at Target and had to get them for Tay-Tay! (they even fit over her marshmallow feet....I was sooooo excited!!)

Pointing to the animals!

Not scared one bit of the sheep...or is that a goat? Oh, it doesn't matter, not scared of the animals!!

Love my little girl!!

Silly girl!

So I am offically a bad parent because I let my child play for many minutes with two bottles of Tylenol....she was very entertained so I went with it=) She loved how noisy it was...and I loved how I could actually get something done for awhile....I should probably put the pills away, but for that moment...it worked!!=)

Circus Day at Stepping Stones! Taylor had a blast being a clown with her fellow infants at daycare for Circus Day. A mother of another baby girl, Quinn, made all the babies costumes and they turned out adorable!! Taylor put up with the flower and the makeup....I loved it!

Cutest little clown ever!!

Hanging out!

Just trying to catch up on some blogging! Taylor has been enjoying hanging out with Grammie Fen whenever she can, reading with daddy, and just being a goof! She is talking non stop these days and she can offically say 2 words together like, "bye mama", "hi baby", it is so cute! She is just quite the little person and it all happened so fast!

Taylor's 1 year Pictures....more to come!

My sister took some fabulous pictures of Taylor while were down at the lake on our family vacation....I just love this one and wanted to share...more to come! Can you believe my baby girl is one?!?!

Playing with her brother

Taylor has been antagonizing her brother lately. She loves chasing him and teasing him. Maverick is such a trooper, being ever so gentle and loving her so much!!

4th of July and stuff!

I have been a horrible blogger lately! We have been so busy and the sad thing is I have been hardly taking pictures! So here are some random ones from the the last couple of weeks! Taylor is doing great! She is officially turning into a "toddler" with attitude and all. She is into everything, babbling a mile a minute...and being so loving when she wants to. She is very quick tempered...going from screaming one second to hugging the next! Luke says she is just like me=) Every day is so different and I am enjoying it all!

Helping Mommy with the dishes in the kitchen!

Celebrating 4th of July with the Peters!

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!!
