A Lot Has Happened!

Tay putting her toys on the tree.

Chad and Shane with the ducks..i'm not for sure who was with them taking the pic.

Me and Tay and the deer...it was a LONG was away and we didn't get a very good look at it...but hey, there's always next year....and Tay enjoyed it!!

Hope everyone has had a good holiday. Now it's time for my favorite!! I really enjoyed being around the family this Thanksgiving and I know Taylor did too. Since the last time I've posted I killed a deer, duck season came in (so we won't see Chad for like two months) and Chad, Taylor and I put up this Christmas tree. I usually have a lot of decorations on it but this year since Taylor will probably be hard to handle, we decided to put up a small tree with very few (non breakable) ornaments. This year I call it the "country tree" because it has all hunting or animal ornaments. Chad's mom gets us hunting ornaments every year so we decided to do the tree in that this year. Taylor is having fun finding all the different animals when we ask where they are...she's so smart!! She's also enjoying the colorful lights. When we were decorating it she decided to put her toys on in too...how sweet is that??

Taylor & Tinslea's trip to Rainforest Cafe

OK picture a 1 year old and a 2 1/2 year girl eating a pleasant dinner with her family and look beside her and see this...uh yeah they're going to be scared....

When they started moving, Taylor did not take her eyes off of it...more pictures to come of poor Tinslea Gracyn, she was scared to death.

Our beautiful princess finally took her eyes off of the monkey to say, "cheese!"

RAIN FOREST CAFE

Tinslea was absolutely scared to death of the monkeys!

Taylor wasn't scared of the monkeys...just wanted to watch them...CLOSELY!

Tinslea crying when the storm came at the cafe...JoJo will take care of her!!

Tinslea wanted in the stroller with Taylor...Chad said we're going to have a hard time keeping them apart when they're older...looks like it's starting early!

Wanted to throw this one in ...Taylor's Halloween costume. I only had one picture of her because my camera went dead. She was an octopus...how sweet!

Taylor's Fall Pictures!

She Doesn't Let Anything Go to Waste!

Taylor keeps us busy. We try to let her go and do as she pleases to let her learn but here lately we've got to be right with her. Some of the things she does you just have to sit back and laugh. I was hanging up her clothes in her closet when I heard her "slurping". I thought, "What in the world is she doing?" I turned around to see that she had split her cup of milk in the floor and she was on her hands and knees slurping it up. Earlier today she had spilt her cup (on purpose) and I didn't give her anymore...I guess she just thought I wasn't going to give her anymore.

Been a Busy Week!!

What all has happened since I have posted last?? We had the yard sale Saturday morning...which was FREEZING! Saturday night we had the hay ride. It seemed to have warmed up that night...weird. But it was a lot of fun. We originally planned for Taylor to ride in the cab with Allen because we thought it would be too cold on her. However, when she saw everyone on the trailor she had to be with everyone else. She had a huge jacket on and was covered up with a blanket so she really didn't get cold! Sunday, our alarm clock (Taylor) didn't go off until 11:00 so we missed church. We decided to go see Cindy at Jessi's while Hunter, Jake and Charlie went hunting. Yay Hunt: he got a buck! The rest of the week I spent studying for a HUGE midterm I had today...thank goodness it's over. I got a phone call yesterday saying I got the job at the bank!!!! I start Monday and I'm so excited! It's going to be hard being away from Chad and Taylor but I am so thankful to get this work experience!! Chad's back to work so tonight me and Taylor are going to clean house and then snuggle! Hope these four days go by fast!
