Oh my...

A princess must always wear her crown even if she is just looking at old photos!

Let the summer begin...

with some fun at the lake with friends!

My girl loves shoes...

Taegan and I went shopping and she found some shoes she just had to have. The shop owner was showing them to me and put them on her foot and that was it! We left the store with them on her feet! They are PINK and SPARKLEY so that is all it took for Taegan!

Taegan is 4!!

Taegan turned 4 last week, and I can't believe it! I think the past 4 years have been the fastest 4 years of my life. On her birthday Chad took the day off and we spent the day doing whatever Taegan wanted to. It was all about her and she picked up on that pretty fast. We had so much fun! We started our day at Toys R Us...so much fun with her! She shopped and looked and found lots of things she wanted so we did a lot trading things in and out of the basket as she found something new she would have to put something up. She did great and ended up finding a new baby that needed a home! She also got a basketball goal ...picked out by her daddy! I never thought I would have a basketball goal as part of my decor in my living room...it only gets to stay as long as nothing gets broken...so far so good! We have had lots of fun with it as a family! After the toy store we went to eat and then to Chuck E Cheese for some games. Taegan had lots of fun riding the rides and playing the games. We then headed home to play with our new toys and rest a little. We ended the night with dinner out and then back home to have cake. It was a great day...as is everyday with our sweet blessing!

Easter....finally!

I know Easter has come and gone, but I am a little slow on getting my pictures downloaded. We enjoyed a wonderful Easter this year with lots of fun and family! We enjoyed the weekend before Easter with Chad's family at his parent's house and then Taegan and I went and spent Easter weekend with my family while Chad was out of town. Taegan had so much fun this year coloring eggs and having egg hunts. She was also very excited about "the bunny" visiting. She woke me up on Easter morning at 7 wanting to know where the bunny was! She was very excited to find her basket filled with goodies from "the bunny"!

Sweet tooth...

Taegan woke up this morning wanting ice cream with sprinkles for breakfast. I told her she needed to eat something good for her before she had ice cream and gave her several choices. She then went into the pantry to get something and when she returned she had a package of sugar cookies! I guess she woke up with a sugar craving! So after mommy had a cup of coffee our little baker went to work! Taegan is such a good helper! She mixed...she rolled the dough and cut out the shapes...she got them ready for the oven...and she finished them off with icing and sprinkles!

Car talk...

On Wednesday after MOPS Taegan and I had a few errands to run. While we were driving Taegan and I were chatting back and forth. I think she is so funny with some of the things she comes up with, but I thought this chat was pretty cute and wanted to share. It went something like this....

Taegan: Mommy who made the trees?
Me: God did!
Taegan: Where is God?
Me: He is in heaven.(I pointed up as I said this.)
Taegan: Well...he better flap his wings and get down here!

This morning as Taegan and I were getting in the car to go to school out of the blue Taegan says, "today is my day!". My reply to her was "Taegan everyday is your day!".

Taegan is such a happy girl! We have so much fun together, and I love to hear her perspective on things. She is a precious blessing from our amazing Saviour! I thank him everyday for allowing me have have such a precious gift!
