Pictures from Arkansas.

Taia and Mamaw playing!

Taia's first hiking trip! She even went in a cave!

This is insanely fuzzy but I had to post it!! She climbed IN Popeye's dog bed! LOL I found her just chillin' out in there!!

She was mad because I told her she couldn't have anymore soda!

Taia and Uncle James

Taia and Aunt Pat (A.K.A. Mimi)

Just hanging out with the boys! Cellache and Brandon were

playing video games and she really wanted to play!

She was trying to put the little train on the tracks!

She loved the train!

Mamaw wanted to take her Mother's Day Shopping for me and she fell asleep! She wound up sleeping in the bottom of the Target shopping cart! LOL

They're in reverse order but I don't feel like changing them! :)

Taia and her friends on the news!

Here's a video of Taia and her friends on the news while we waited in line for almost an hour to sign up for swim lessons! Thanks to my awesome friend, Jennifer Ricker (lots of her in the newscast!) we were 2nd in line! And somehow, I think I STILL managed to sign up for the wrong class! LMAO!



Tonight's News!

For the fellow Twilighters!

Thanks Gina for getting me hooked on this awesome Twilight blog!!

Check out Our Twilight Chronicles! It's full of juicy Twilight tidbits!! Even a crazy trailer of New Moon that has clips from "The Lost Boys" and "True Blood!"


ENJOY!! I know you will!

April 30 was a fun day!

We had a great day today!! Thanks to our great friend Jennifer, we discovered the Harris County libraries!! We went to 2 storytimes! They are amazing!! They provide great snacks and crafts and are just wonderful!! Thank you Jennifer and Abby for taking us!

Laura and Liam came over and brought us dinner and then we all went with Jennifer and Abby to the pajama night story time in Hamilton! We had a GREAT time! I don't know who's going to feed me when you move Laura! LOL

Laura made crime scene outlines of our children! LOL

They love this car!! And they are happy standing still jamming out to the radio!

The kiddos enjoying their milk and cookies at the pajama storytime!

Taia and Abby and "Baby" and Mickey in their pajamas!

Photos of Taia and Mamaw "working" in the yard!

Mamaw taught Taia a little bit about gardening a few weeks ago!

Looks like she was working hard!
Taking a break!

Even "Baby" is learning how to garden! She takes "Baby" EVERYWHERE!

Haha! Mom said that the dirt was falling back down onto her head! HA!

Ha! Speaks for itself!

More Birthday photos!!

Here are some pics that my mom took!

She and Liam were having a blast riding in the car that she got from my mom, my mamaw and my dad. She loves it!
Liam looks scared but I swear he was having a blast!

The CAKE! Bad pic of Taia but a good one of the cake!

Our gorgeous little Princess Taia!

Taia and her daddy playing! I love this picture!!

Taia's actual birthday photos. 4-23-09

Taia had SUCH a busy and fun birthday!!

Her birthday was the same day as the "Donuts With Dad" breakfast at school!! Dean was able to be home for most of her birthday. He flew to Texas in the evening.We were so glad that he was able to be home! Donuts With Dad was at 9am. Then at 11:45 I took cupcakes, balloons and party favors to her class and we had a little party. The kids all had a great time! When we left the school, we went to Toys R Us and she got another balloon and picked out her birthday present from her Nanny and Opa (Dean's grandparents.) They sent her money so she could do her own shopping! She picked a "My Little Pony" that crawls across the floor!! Then we went to Chuck E Cheese with daddy, Laura and Liam and had a great time! After that we went to Dairy Queen and Laura and Liam treated us to birthday ice cream!! It was a very eventful day and we had a BLAST!!!

Thank you to everyone who sent cards and presents and/or came to her birthday party on Saturday! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! Our house looked like Christmas morning until today! I finally re-organized the playroom and moved toys that she has outgrown into the garage! It's so sad when we have to move out her toys!! But we have to make room for the new stuff!!

Taia and her Daddy enjoying their donuts and juice!

Looks like they're having a very serious conversation!

The whole class at Taia's little birthday party.

Taia playing whack-a-mole! Check out the video in this post! She was having a great time!
This bike ride is her favorite at Chuck E Cheese! She loves it!! We get a workout because we have to spin the pedals for her so it will raise up!

And now the grand finale, a video of her playing whack-a-mole! Enjoy!

Easter 2009 - Sorry they're so late!!

Easter 2009

Taia getting into her Easter baskets!! She had one from us and one from her Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma made the dress that she's wearing! It is so gorgeous!

Taia in the bunny ears that Grandma and Grandpa sent her. She's in her diaper because she wanted to eat chocolate and we didn't want her getting chocolate on her dress!

Taia painted my new desks! She did a great job!!

Painting one of my desks!

Dying eggs with the kits the Grandma and Grandpa sent her!

She was having a blast!

Hunting eggs in the back yard.

She had such a long day that she passed out in the living room floor!

Hanging with the Rockwells!

I needed to leave town last night to visit my sick Poppa (grandfather).

Laura almost demanded that I leave Taia with her!

And I am SO glad that she did! Taia had a wonderful time with Liam and I was

able to spend some one on one time with my poppa!

My mom went with me and we were able to spend some quality time together also!

Here are some adorable photos that Laura took!

THANK YOU LAURA!! YOU ARE THE BEST! I AM GONNA GO AHEAD AND SAY IT AGAIN!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS SUMMER!!

They went to the botanical gardens of Columbus today. Looks like they had a great time!

What an angel!

They are SO cute together!!

So cute!

Haha!! Laura can make anything fun!!! Even a quilt! LOL
