March

This month Chuck turned 33 and I 29. Miss Carly turned 18 months. Carl was huge, Still! We was 30 lbs and 34 inches tall. We had a great time during Spring Break. The kids and I went with my parents to the beach. This way Carly's first time going to the beach. She love it. She knew just what to do. She picked up she shovel and bucket and started digging in the sand. Filling her bucket with sand. When it's all filled up dumping it out. Then stomping all over her creation. She wanted to be like Alexus and Blake and put her feet in the water, not a good idea, to COLD.

A BABY!!

A couple weeks later we had a new baby join the extended Taylor family. My kids finally got a cousin that was some what close to their age, at least Carly did. Sabrina, Chuck's sister, had a baby boy David. He was super cute!




This is a picture of Carly at Calamity Jane, after along day sledding.

It's been forever!

( This was on our Christmas card)

Lets start with Christmas. it was fun we had a great day. We opened presents at the house, then off to my parent to open more. Then Chuck's family came over to our house for Dinner. We ate and talked and ate and played Wii and talked and played the Wii some more. It's so nice to be in a house that we can have people over and enjoy each others company. I really loved watching Carly open presents. She didn't quite understand. She was very happy to to her snacks as presents, I think that they were half way gone before we finished open the rest of the gifts. Oh one more thing...... It snowed! a trace, but I'll take anything on Christmas.

Just one more quick post.

I want to know who this girl looks like,

Wicked Witch

Cute Dorthy

The Trio

Just a cute picture of Carly, I had to throw in !

Every year my kids dress up as a theme, last year it was Star Wars, we've also done Charlie Brown and Lucy, Peter pan and Tinkerbell. Now that Carly is here we had to figure out something that could do at least 3 people. We decided to do The Wizard of Oz. Alexus was The Wicked Witch,Blake - Tin man and Carly - Dorthy. They had great time. Carly even said trick treat, so cute! I know that they like dressing together, because they are already trying to figure out what they are going to do for next year. I know that they won't want to do this every year, so I better do till I can! Does anyone have some good ideas for next year?

House is DONE!!!!

Our house

(that will change once more houses are built)

The house was done at the beginning of Oct. It sat till the 16th so we could do our first walk through. Then we walked through again on the 23rd and we got the keys that day! On Thursday we had movers unload the storage unit and move it all into the house. That was definitely the way to go. Stand around and point where you want things to go. Carly was really excited when she saw all of our stuff, it was like she knew that we were HOME. We've been here now for almost three weeks. Life is still crazy, but we are getting there. All but 2 boxes are unpacked, cars are in the garage. Now we are just trying to figure out where we want everything. I really enjoy not having to drive to get the kids. The BUS is heaven. The next thing to do is paint, we know all the color, but we have to buy it, and do it!

Carly's 1st Birthday

opening dress from grandma & grandpa

fishing puzzle, I love it!

Cabbage patch, now I don't have to steal my sisters!

She put the candle out with her fingers!

This was soooooooooooooooo yummy! I like cake.

My little baby is 1. I'm so sad! I know that we are having no more babies, and to see her growing up so fast make me want to cry. She still is the happiest thing in the world. Always smiling and ready to play. We didn't do anything big for her birthday, we were living with my parents and there was NO ROOM! She open just a couple of presents and then had cake, she loved it. 1 year check up, 28lbs and almost 33 inches! 1oo % for both. She is in clothes Alexus wore at 27months, when Blake was born!

Alexus' 8th Birthday

So I know that I needed to catch up. Between the house selling and moving Alexus turned 8. Wow time goes by so fast. We had a little party at C & C. (my house was a mess) Then later that day we had family over. She is getting tall and so mature, most of the time. She is still mt little drama queen! Loves to read and draw. She still loves dance and is always getting better!

Roller Coaster

(My life)

The last week has been a rOlLeR cOaStEr!!! The house almost didn't sell. The silly man tried to tell us that he was short $2000. He told us that a week before we were to close. So Chuck and I got to be stressed all week. Finally on Weds. they said that they could do it, but we did not believe it. They called us once everything was signed. The next six weeks will be crazy!
