A night away...

The day after Taegan finished school was Chad's birthday so we thought it would be fun to get away and celebrate his birthday and the end of a great school year! So Saturday afternoon we headed to the Ranger's game where we enjoyed very nice weather and Taegan's first "ballgame hotdog"! She has decided hot dogs aren't so bad and she couldn't wait to get one at the game!





After the game we headed to the hotel. The next morning we enjoyed a lazy morning before heading out to lunch and then for a little bowling. Taegan had never been bowling but loves to bowl on the Wii so we thought it would be fun. Taegan wasn't feeling great but she was a trooper and enjoyed the day!

Last day of Kindergarten...

I cannot believe how fast this school year went by and that we now have a first grader! Taegan had a great year with a teacher that she adores and made some very special new friends! Taegan's class had a beach party on the last day of school and the kids had a blast! They were so excited when they came into the room and it was party time with beach towels, sand buckets full of goodies and ice cream sundaes!

First day of Kindergarten...

Field Day

Taegan had field day several weeks ago and it was a morning full of fun! Chad and I went to watch and it was so fun walking from activity to activity with her class watching all of the kids have such a good time!

Girl's Night!

Friday night Daddy went to the basketball game so Tae and I headed out for a girl's night! She got some gift cards for her birthday so I took her to spend one of them and then we headed to get get our fingers and toes done! She was so cute sitting in that big chair just taking everything in around her! We had a great time and I look forward to many more girl's night with my sweet girl!

Just getting started....


the end result...zebra fingers and toes...with some sparkle of course!!

Tae's Tea Party!

There is a little pink boutique in town and Taegan had her mind set on having her birthday party there. They do precious dress-up tea parties and there was no way we were going to change her mind! She was so excited about her party and couldn't wait for it to start! When the time came we couldn't get there fast enough for her! It was so much fun!! When all the girls arrived the fun began...they had their hair and make-up done, made a craft, dressed-up in dresses and hats, had tea in fancy tea cups, enjoyed some cupcakes and then had a dance party! All the girls looked like they were having so much fun! I have to say I enjoyed it too...I got to stand back, watch and enjoy while some one else did all of the entertaining! Daddy was a trooper too as he hung out with us...a pink boutique is not exactly where a daddy wants to spend his Saturday afternoon, but he would do anything for his sweet girl! It was a fun day of celebrating with our sweet girl!

Mommy and the Birthday girl!!


Getting glamorous...the more sparkle the better!

Sweet Birthday Girl!


All of the Princess Guests!


Taegan said it was the BEST day ever!!

Taegan turned 6!!

I can't believe that my baby is 6!! On April 29th we celebrated with our sweet girl!! Taegan was home sick on her birthday so we did lots of extra celebrating! She opened gifts throughout the day and then that night we enjoyed a nice dinner outside followed by some yummy cake!





God truly blessed us when he gave us our sweet Taegan Faith! She is such a precious gift that we have tremendously enjoyed over the past 6 years! She keeps us laughing and always keeps us on our toes, and she is as sweet and sassy as they come! I can't wait to see what our future holds with our sweet girl!

Easter Fun!

Taegan enjoyed an Easter egg hunt at school the Thursday before Easter. The kids had so much fun gathering the eggs and then sharing and exchanging them afterwards.

On the Saturday before Easter we headed to Chad's sisters for some good food, egg coloring and egg hunting! Taegan always has so much fun when she gets to spend time with her cousin Emma!

I did not take any pictures on Easter day...not sure what happened! We started our morning out by checking out what the Easter Bunny left while we were sleeping! Taegan had a basket full of goodies! We then headed to church to celebrate our risen Savior! It was a wonderful service enjoyed by all! After church we headed to the club for a nice brunch and of course ate way too much! With full bellies we headed home for a nice quiet afternoon nap!
