Random Part 2

Here's some more random shots of some of the stuff we have been up to lately.
Money Hunt
Ever since I was little my grandparents, who's parents did it for my dad, have done a money hunt where they hide quarters and we all run around racing to find them. Now they also do it for the great grandkids. Here's a picture of Chase getting a bit of a head start. I couldn't resist taking a picture, before I explained the rules to him. It is so much fun to watch how excited they get!! Not as excited though, as there 20 to 30 something year old parents do, when it's there turn to run around looking for dollars. Cort actually got a whooping $21 this year. WAHOO!!

Girls night out
Me and Taylor seriously have some of the best friends ever!! We are both so lucky. One of my favorite people threw a mommy and daughter late night about a week ago and we had so much fun. Taylor got to stay up til almost midnight! We played games, talked, ate, watched the orignal Parent Trap, and just enjoyed being together. A good time was had by all. Here's a picture of us all and here's a couple of Tay with two of her very, very good friends. The first one is one of them when they were only two. They have actually been friends since they were babies and it is so sweet to see them together. They always have so much fun whenever they are together; no matter what they are doing. And the other one is one of them at the girls night out.
Girlfriends are the best!!



Happy Birthday Brycie!!
It was my brother's 29th birthday about a week ago and we had him over for cake. Taylor and Chase were so excited. They absolutely love Bry and always get so excited whenever he is around. He is always so sweet and loving with them and I'm so glad that they have him in their lives, and that I do too. He seriously is one of my best friends. Happy Birthday B!!


Finally!!
Last week we actually had a taste of Spring. The kids couldn't get enough of the warmness and quite frankly neither could I. We stayed outside practically the whole day! We even pulled out the slip and slide. We are sooo ready for summer!!



Garden
I decided that I wanted to do a garden this year. And my sweet husband went out and got all the necessary material and set me up. We planted some peas the other day, which totally reminded me of going to my Grandpa Gord's when I was little and picking them straight out of his garden. Chase was so into it, he kept saying "I'm going to help dada." And that he did....love that kid!

Brothers
Ever since Talan was born, Taylor and Chase can't get enough of him. They just love him soooo much!! In fact, I don't recall either of them every showing any sign of jealously, nothing but love. Here's a couple pictures of the boys playing with one another. I love that they have one another.


Talan
I couldn't resist posting one of our sweet little Tally. He is now 7 and a half months. I can't believe it. He is still growling, and babbling a ton. And has now decided that he likes to sleep on his belly. He will still eat just about anything. I have not found anything so far that he doesn't like. But that's just how he is; so laid back and just go with the flow. He's also getting close to crawling. The other day I left the room for a second while he was sitting up and playing and when I came back I found him on all fours ready to go. Here's a picture of him in all his glory.

Obession
Taylor's new obession lately, among other things, is the monkey bars. She could do them over and over and over again. Here she is at the park. And Chase's new obession lately is his frisbee. He carries it around the house and wants to show it to everyone that comes over. He constantly is asking if we can go outside and play with it. His favorite thing about it is throwing it and then running over to it and right before he picks it up he'll turn around and say "come and get it." And then as soon as you start running for it, he picks it up and laughs and laughs.


Princesses
(This is for you Brit, I can't believe I didn't post this!) Better late then never right?! For Taylor's five year old birthday her Aunt Britany and friend Derek, took Taylor to see the Disney Princesses on ice. Taylor was sooo excited. She picked out one of her dress ups to wear and we got her all done up for the big event. She came home with all sorts of goodies and talked about it for days afterwards. In fact, just the other day we were printing pictures for her to color and she started telling me about when Prince Philip took on the dragon at Disney on ice and won. She had a great time. Here's a picture of them before they left. What a fun gift and memory. Thanks again Brit!
