Tate and Taylie's fun play day!

So a couple of weeks ago Tate came over for a few hours to play. Taylie is in love with Blue's Clues and her favorite episode is Blue's birthday. So after Tate and Taylie got done watching Blues birthday, Taylie came up and asked if they could have a Blue's Clues birthday party. I was trying to think of what I could do that would be like a Blue's Clues birthday party and we decided we could make a blue cake! So Tate and Taylie were my little helpers :)





They were having so much fun, and then came the frosting! I don't think either one of them put any frosting on the cake! They were just sitting there eating it the whole time! It was so funny.







After we got done, we put two candles on so they could sing "Happy Birthday" to "Blue" and blow out a candle, they had a lot of fun! Tate and Taylie truly are best friends and are so cute together. We love having Tate live just around the corner.

Update on Lindsey

So Because I have been slacking for so long on the blogging department, I have a few updates so there will be a few new posts today!! Here are some pictures of Lindsey, she has been great at eating baby food, and then I tried beans and she was seriously gagging! I thought she was going to throw up.







The rest are just some fun pictures of Lindsey. She is crawling all over and can pull herself up on things so she is standing. Taylie has a storybook chair that plays music and reads a story when you sit on it, and Lindsey loves it!!

Picture Time!!!!

Here are some of the pictures we had taken of Lindsey and Taylie. Sorry, the quality isn't the greatest because we had to scan them in. :(

Update

Ok, so we have been horrible at keeping up our blog. I don't have any pictures, but I promise they are coming! So just for a quick update, Mike is just busy going to school and working. He is always busy doing homework and studying for tests. October is a busy month because he is gone every weekend hunting. He hasn't gotten anything yet, but maybe this weekend he will have more luck.
I have been busy just being a mom. I got my horse back from the trainers so I have been riding alot lately and have been very pleased with my horse. He is only a 3 year old but is so laid back that my niece can hop on and ride him around.
Taylie is such a stinker but a cute one! She is the smartest kid I know. The other day she came up to me and said "Mom, I don't have a brother, I just have a sister." And I said yup, you just have a sister. And then she said "But I do have a brother, Jesus is my brother" She is growing up so fast. I was sitting in primary last sunday and it hit me that she was going to be a sunbeam in 2 months! I love that little girl and can't belive how fast time flies.
Lindsey is the happiest baby ever. She wakes up in the morning and I can hear her talking in her crib so I go in to get her and as soon as she sees me she just smiles and gets so excited. She loves her food! As soon as I put her in her high chair she starts kicking her legs and smiles. She is crawling around everywhere and can pull herself up so she is standing. It dosen't matter how many times I sweep or vaccume, she always finds something on the floor that she is not suppose to have. It dosen't matter how many times Taylie kicks her in the head, throws something at her, or closes the door on her head, Lindsey still loves her big sister.
We have been so blessed, we have the greatest girls in the whole world. We got there pictures done a few weeks ago, so I will post them soon.

Hogal Zoo!

Sorry, we have been slacking in the blogging department. A couple weeks ago we decided to take Taylie to Hogle Zoo. She loves animals and it was going to be our last family outing before Mike started school and we never see him. Taylie was so excited. We were going to go down Saturday but things didn't work out and we couldn't get away from Logan in time so instead we went down to Greg and Charise's house Saturday afternoon (thanks guys for letting us stay at your beautiful house!)We had a great time, we took Taylie to there little park and went and played pool and horse shoes and Charise's parents house. Sunday morning Taylie was wide awake ready to go to the Zoo (I know we broke the Sabbath!) It was actually a perfect day to go, it was overcast so it wasn't too hot and we didn't get sunburned! Taylie was most excited to see the elephants! Lindsey was so good being in her stroller all day, she loves to be outside. It was so funny, at one point we decided to take Taylie on the carousel and she got on a giraffe and then got scared and kept saying "I'm too little, I need a new one!" Mike moved her at least three times before it started and he told her she had to stay on. Once she got going she loved it! At the end we all went for a ride on the train, and even though Mike got a little nervous when we went through the Buffalo pen (because they were loose right by the track) everyone loved it!! Also there was the cutest baby giraffe and baby snow leopard.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLIE!!!

Today is Taylie's birthday. She is now officially 3 years old. We had Grandma and Grandpa Balls, Niki, Jake and their family, Cami and her gang, and Mel and Kaden over for cake and ice cream. Taylie was really excited to eat her cake. Steph made an awesome pink sand castle cake. It was really yummy! (Thanks Mel for helping with the frosting). Grandpa had to help her blow out the candles of course. After cake Taylie opened her gifts. She was so excited. Her face said it all. She got a princess dress and some Joni candy from Cami, a Snow White doll and necklace from Mel, some magnet dolls and a dress from Grandma and Grandpa, some My Little Ponies ponies and a movie from Niki and Jake (and a ring from Jessie :) ), and a princess laptop and some movies from Mom and Dad. Thank you everyone for celebrating her birthday with us. It was fun to have everyone over.

Just Something Fun!!

So Mike and I thought it would be fun to go back through the years and see what we could have looked like! Some of them turned out pretty good :)WARNING: There are alot of pictures!
