"Disney Dazzle"

Last week Taegan had her Kindergarten program. She has been so excited and singing the songs for me at home! There are 15 classes of kindergartners so you can imagine the kids! They all did a great job!! The program was full of Disney songs and dancing! Taegan's class performed to a Jungle Book song so they were dressed in safari...they all looked precious! My pictures didn't turn out great but I did get a couple at home before we left. She was soooo excited and just acting silly!!

Precious girl....so sweet!


She is soooo her daddy!!!

16 weeks and growing!

Taegan took this picture of my growing belly at the end of my 16th week...last week! She is loving watching my tummy grow and is constantly coming up with names for us! I am pretty sure at this point we won't be using any of her names, but who knows one day she might surprise us! Last night she laid her head on my tummy and after a minute she proudly said, "Mommy I heard the baby growl!". She is so precious!

We're still around....

I know it has been a while and I am sorry to say I do not have any pictures to go with this post. My camera batteries have been dead for quite some time now and I just haven't taken the time to charge them up. I just wanted to give a quick March update since the month is almost over! So here we go....

Taegan had her first official Spring Break! Boy does Spring Break mean more when you have a little one in school full time! It just reminded me of how ready I am for summer...although I know Tae will be missing school because she was ready to go back after a week! We kicked off Spring Break with a visit from my sister and her kids and grand kids. I LOVE being with them and it is always nice to have them visit! After they left on Sunday the allergy bug got me pretty bad and I spent the rest of the week in bed! I felt so bad for Tae because here she was out of school and I didn't feel up to doing anything! She had two request for the week...go to McDonald's and go to Chuck-E-Cheese...two things we don't do very often and both very doable in a week! We did drive thru McD's early in the week and by Friday I was feeling a little better so we ventured to Chuck-E-Cheese. We had a great time eating pizza and playing games! We made a few other stops while we were in town and I was wiped out by the time we got home! Even though I spent the week in bed sick it was nice not to have to be dressed and be anywhere!

Taegan headed back to school the next week and she couldn't get there fast enough! I had no problems getting her up that morning! I unfortunately was still not feeling all that well! Again I spent most of the week in bed resting and doing as little as possible! I was two weeks in of being down at this point and it was getting real old around our house for everyone to say the least!

I had my monthly doctor visit the next Monday and got to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat! There is just nothing like hearing that sweet sound! We heard a very strong heartbeat at a heart rate of 153. Chad and I think we are having another little girl, but Tae thinks it is a brother! I guess we will see in September! The doctor gave me an antibiotic since I was starting week three and it had now moved to my sinuses. By that night I was down worse than I had been and was so thankful I hd been to the doctor that day. The rest of that week was pretty rough but I gradually started feeling better by the end of the week! I think I am on the mend and feeling much better now! Thank goodness!!

The weather has been BEAUTIFUL here for the last week! Friday after school Tae and I headed to the park where we met Leslie, Grayson and Nellie Grace. We spent several hours just soaking up the beautiful weather. It was nice to get to sit and visit with Leslie while the kids played! Again Saturday it was just too pretty to be inside and so that afternoon we headed to lake to do some fishing. Taegan had fun riding in the boat and fishing on and off. It was so nice and relaxing to be outside soaking up the sun!

I can't believe we are already at the end of March! Time is just flying by! My precious little girl will be six next month and that just blows my mind! Where has the time gone?!? I am so thankful that God had blessed me with such a precious family that is still growing! I am looking forward to see what is to come because God has just overflowed our lives with sweet blessings!

Snow Day!

We woke up Friday to a 5:30am phone telling us school was canceled! We enjoyed a lazy morning with some chocolate chip muffins and then we got layered up to go sledding. We had such a good time! Tae was soaked to the core but was as happy as can be! Once our fingers and toes were numb we headed home for a lazy afternoon. That night we enjoyed a yummy dinner with friends and made snow ice cream! We had a wonderful day just playing and being lazy together!!

Sweetheart Ball!

For at least a month Taegan has been counting down to the Sweetheart Ball at her school. The Sweetheart Ball is a special night for daughters and their daddy and later in the evenings sons and their mommy. Taegan has been watching the decorations go up at school the past two weeks and I have to say it was precious! She has been so excited and as it got closer she would tell me how many more sleeps until the Ball. Well Saturday was the big day!! We had a pretty lazy day at home and as evening came it was time to get ready for her big date with daddy! She got dressed and then she proceeded to help her daddy get dressed by picking out his tie! Before leaving daddy surprised her with a beautiful wrist corsage made with her favorite flowers....roses! They enjoyed a fun night together dancing, having cupcakes and cookies and making memories!

Surprise!

Snow Day!

On Sunday we woke up to a very rainy cold day. We bundled up and headed to church and after Sunday School we headed back home for a quiet afternoon at home. As always after lunch Tae and I snuggled up in my bed for a Sunday afternoon nap. Much to our surprise when we woke up a few hours later there was a blanket of white on everything outside and it was still snowing! Taegan thought it was the best day ever! We bundled up and headed outside where she had a great time throwing snowballs and making snow angels! As for her mommy....she would rather enjoy it from inside a warm house under a blanket!!
