What a MAGICAL vacation...

We just got back from spending a week in Disneyworld! It was so much fun!! Taegan experienced her first plane ride....and LOVED it! I was a little worried about how she would do, but I soon realized there were no worries. She laughed during the take-off and landing coming and going. Her daddy has come to the conclusion that she is going to love roller coasters because of this! We spent 5 days in the parks and enjoyed every minute of it! Taegan LOVES Jesse from Toy Story 2 so we were definitely on a mission to meet her while we were there. On Thursday night we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and had a blast! We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas parade that included every character and even Santa! I didn't think Taegan would be able to talk the next day due to losing her voice from screaming with excitement as each character came by. After the parade we went to meet Jesse! Jesse and Woody were together and since we had already met Woody Taegan went straight for Jesse. She was in awe and smiling from ear to ear. As we finished our pictures fireworks starting going off so Jesse took Taegan by the hand and away they went to watch them. Taegan and Jesse laughed and played together while watching the show...it was so great to see her so filled with excitement!! I will say that this made my night for her to have so much one on one with Jesse! I have to add that Jesse has been and imaginary friend of Taegan's for quite some time and she goes places with us often so for her to get to meet her in person was a pretty great experience for her! Every night while she was taking a bath I would always ask her what her favorite thing was that we did that day, most days her answer was the Dumbo ride. Her answer was no different on this particular night so I asked her what about Jesse...her little eyes lit up and she said Jesse was awesome!! So precious! So many fun memories were made and will tell some more soon!

Loves of my Life!

October fun!

October has been a month full of fun! Taegan had "Fire Safety Day" at school. The firemen came to talk to the kids and then they got to climb into the fire truck. Taegan enjoyed them coming and seeing the truck! She even volunteered to show everyone how to stop, drop and roll. I was so proud of her! She also had "Trunk or Treat". It got moved into the gym because of the rain, but it was still loads of fun and she came home with a ton of candy! She got to wear her costume to school that day. She chose a pink fairy princess costume! My girl loves fairies and princesses and she especially LOVES pink! The night before Halloween Taegan and I carved our pumpkin. Tae chose to carve Tinkerbell into our pumpkin and it turned out GREAT! We LOVED our pumpkin when it was finished!

"Stop, Drop and Roll"!

Its been a while...

I had some computer problems, but things are all good now. Taegan started back to preschool in September and is loving it! She LOVES her school and her teacher. She is always very excited and ready to go!

Summer Catch Up...

I can't believe summer is over and school is back in session! We had a GREAT summer full of fun activities! As I posted before we spent a week at the beach in Florida in June and had a great time. In July Chad and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. WOW...I can't believe it has been 10 years already! We have had a great time together over the past 10 years growing and learning new things. We have been through many changes together over the years we have bought houses, moved to a new place, gone through job changes, made new friends, visited new places and the BIGGEST change of all was becoming Mommy and Daddy! God has been very good to us and filled our lives with many blessings! We spent our anniversary in Seattle and had a wonderful time! Taegan and I went to a Tea Party with Chad's mom, sister and niece and had so much fun. The girls looked so cute and had a great time together! At the end of July Taegan and I spent a week in Galveston with my family. We had a great time that week with Mom and Pop and aunts and cousins! Summer was great and I can't wait to see what Fall brings!

Taegan and I spent last week in Panama City Beach Florida with my sister and her family. Chad flew in and spent a few days...it was nice to have him there with us! We had a great time soaking up the sun, playing in the sand, ocean and pool!

Fun day at the zoo!
