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

Abby, Liam, Taia, Kyan and June at the party.

How awesome is her princess dress that Grandma made her!!??!!??

EXTREMELY AWESOME!! Everyone ooed and awed over it! She looked adorable!

And YES! She has on tennis shoes!! LOL The floor in the party room was SUPER sticky and I didn't want her in her princess shoes. It seemed like a BAD idea!

POOF!

LOTS of pictures!

Taia decided to drop out of the egg hunt and found a corner to eat her chocolate!
Trying to decide what to eat first!

The class party!

Dean stayed home sick today so I was able to upload some pictures.

They are all out of order but I don't feel like messing with organizing them right now! :)

Taia and I decorated the bathtub with silly string style soap!! It was FUN!

Without a computer for a while....

Just wanted to let everyone know that Dean has been using my computer for work since he broke his (and broke his temporary laptop...although I'm getting blamed for that one.....) His new one should be here soon.....hopefully..... So I'll be without a computer for at least another week! I just caught up on everyones blogs but just don't have the time to comment on them all!! I had over 100 updates to catch up on!! I have TONS of pictures to post but that'll have to wait until next weekend!!
