Taegan is such a funny girl!

As Taegan gets older she continues to make us laugh!

Like a lot of people at the beginning of the new year I have vowed myself to the treadmill! I am not one to enjoy exercise, but as I get older I am finding I probably need to fall in love with it! I have been doing pretty good at getting it in 4 to 5 times a week...very surprising I know! Well Taegan is usually around when I am doing this and learning that exercise is something you should do to keep in shape. She seems to be keeping up with the days I do and don't get on the treadmill. One night I was sitting on the bed and she was standing on the treadmill the conversation went something like this....

Taegan: Mommy are you going to get on the treadmill tonight?

Me: No...I think I am going to wait and do it tomorrow.

Taegan: Well...your tummy is going to get big.

Me: (not sure what to say I just look at her...I guess looking pretty surprised)

Taegan: (very matter of fact) Well it is!

She is definitely making sure I stick with the program! She is such a hoot and I LOVE every moment I have with her!

Where did January go??

I cannot believe January is gone and we are already half way through February. Where is the time going?? We brought in the New Year with some of our good friends in Louisiana. The kids had a great time playing together as usual. We really don't get together often enough these days.

Taegan and Max enjoyed playing some big kid games together....


but they also enjoyed being with Landry!

More Christmas Pics!

Santa brought lots of fun surprises this year! Taegan couldn't really come up with many things to ask Santa for so she decided surprises are always nice!

Santa brought a doll house...


a stocking full of goodies and....


he even brought the Tinkerbell music box that she started asking for on Christmas Eve last year! This was her favorite gift of all even if it was a year late!

Christmas Day!

This year we spent Christmas day at home...just the 3 of us! It was nice just to be home and let Taegan enjoy all of her things. Taegan slept until 10:30 that morning. Chad and I were up and waiting for her to come downstairs....I wonder how many years sleeping in on Christmas morning will happen?!? When she finally got up we all had a good time opening gifts and seeing what Santa brought!

My sweet girl always has a smile in the morning...especially when there are presents!


Finally a talking Jesse!


A Princess game for our sweet princess!


Some sparkly new clothes!


Taegan and Daddy relaxing!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Chad's family. We had a fun filled day of eating, relaxing and eating some more! The kids always enjoying being together and being able to play!

Merry Christmas!

We hope that your Christmas is filled with many sweet blessings and memories as you celebrate the birth of our Saviour! Wishing you and your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Much love from our family to yours!

We saw Santa!

Today at school Taegan and I had a Polar Express pajama day. We had so much fun reading the book, watching the movie and enjoying chocolate milk and cookies! We also had a very special visitor today....Santa himself came to visit us at First Kids! I wasn't sure if Taegan would go to him or not since she starting clinging to my leg as her turn came closer, but when it was her turn she crawled right up on his lap and started talking away! I was so proud of her!

So happy to see Santa!


Thinking hard about what she wants Santa to bring her!
