Trunk-or-Treat 2007

Taylor and Lylee ready for the party!

The kids and Grandpa! Taylor didn't want to leave and go trunk-or-treating. He wanted to help Grandpa pass out the candy.

Lylee and her hero, Daddy!

Me and my favorite cowboy!

Tonight was our ward's annual Halloween party and trunk-or-treat. It was so fun!!! The night started out with a carnival. There were tons of games for the kids and a bounce house. There was also a ton of fun carnival food. We tried just about everything between all of us. Taylor loved the fudgsicles and the corn on the cob. Chris loved the dry ice rootbeer. I liked the cotton candy and the caramel apples. Then there was Miss Lylee, she loved EVERYTHING. She is so funny! She just loves food. Hopefully that means that she won't be a picky eater. They also has a stage set up with carnival side show acts and lots of fun music for us to dance. We all had a great time and everyone is now exhausted, especially Chris. He is on the activities committee so he got to help with all of the behind the scenes stuff.

Both Kids!

This is Daddy's favorite pose!

Both Taylor and Lylee loved the lemonade pictures.

It makes me so happy that my kids actually like each other!!!

Lylee's Six Month Pictures

Actually, she was 7 months by the time that I finally got them in for pictures. When Lylee didn't have Taylor, she just wanted to crawl around. That was until she got the lemons. Wow, she LOVED the lemons. When they sliced one for her she just dove in. I love the top picture. It totally captures her personality.

Taylor's 3 year old pictures

These are a few of my favorite shots of just Taylor. He really doesn't like going to get his picture taken. He did do a lot better in the pictures with Lylee. The middle picture was indicative of his mood the whole time. Funny, yet frustrating...

Hey Dad...and Keith, and Mom

Dad, there is a music player at the bottom of this page. Can you find the song that is on here just for you?????


Ok, the song for my dad was Convoy. We listened to it a lot when I was a very little girl. It reminds me of driving through Wyoming with the big trucks.

Now there is a song for Keith. You sang it one of the first times that we met. Chris was the one who remembered it. Can you guess???

Also, there is a song for my mom. It is a song that reminds me of your Webelo days and those silly boys that you had at our house. Do you know what it could be???

Come on now, anyone is welcome to guess. Except Christopher. That would be cheating!


Who should we pick next?????

Puddle Jumper

Taylor loves the rain and he loves puddles. Last spring, my mom got him a pair of rain boots because she knew this about him. Taylor really liked to look at his new rain boots, but absolutely refused to wear them. Eventually, he started wearing his rainboots around the house and pretty soon he wanted it to rain again so that he could go jump in puddles. Unfortunately, it was the middle of summer. Now that the rain season is here, Taylor is thrilled! We got him a new raincoat and he faithfully checks the weather outside every day before he leaves the house to know if he needs his rain gear. He is very concerned that Lylee doesn't have rainboots though.

Standing Tall

Our little Lylee Bug had started pulling herself up and standing! On Sunday we had to lower her crib mattress to the lowest setting so that she does not fall out on her cute little head!!! She pulls herself up on the couch for toys and food. This little walker is one of her favorite challenges. We got it out of th garage and cleaned it thinking she might use it in a month or two and she pulled herself right up. She hasn't mastered it just yet, but she's having a lot of fun working on it!
