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!


Dance party!


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!

Tae decided to be Snow White while hunting eggs!

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!

"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!
