Tyalor's 1st Birthday!!

We can't believe a year has gone by so fast! Taylor is such a wonderful little girl. We couldn't imagine life without her. Taylor's birthday was Feb. 5th, and her party was on Feb.7th. We had a wonderful day. Taylor wasn't too excited about eating her cake, but she did like putting out the candle with her fingers! Scary! (she's okay, no burns!) Taylor got lots of wonderful presents and enjoyed spending time with everyone at her party!

Taylor's awesome animal cake!

Taylor putting out her candle! We still have to learn hot things could cause pain!

Who needs to blow out candles when fingers work!

Clapping her hands! We've been working on this for quite some time now, and she decides her party was the perfect time to show off her new skills. Hopefully she doesn't wait until birthday #2 to show off walking!

Excited about her party (and her cool pigtails!)

Messy girl.

In her new clothes playing with her new stroller and doll! She's starting to walk behind her stroller for a few steps. We're working on it, but don't count on independent walking any time soon.

We've had such a fun time learning and growing with Taylor over the last year. We don't really know what our world would be like without her now! She is such a blast and shows us new things everyday. She's just about as ticklish as can be now...she has hair that won't be stopped!...she thinks playtime is 4 am now (don't know what that's all about!)...she loves to follow people around the house...and she is starting to show us what kind of temper tantrum she can throw! (rolling around on the floor and screaming!) We wouldn't have it any other way. She is the sweetest little girl and a blessing in our lives! Thank you to all who have supported us over the past year and who have always been there for us during our times of need. We couldn't ask for better friends and family! We will send more pics of the past few weeks soon. Enjoy!

All in a month

It's been a long time since our last blog. In the last month, Taylor celebrated her first Christmas and New Years. We also celebrated Erron's 30th Birthday, Landen's first birthday/party and went skiing (Taylor stayed in Enid with Grandpa and Grandma Moore.) It's been a busy month and now we are getting ready to celebrate Taylor's first birthday! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Not so sure about Santa.

Beautiful...and cold

Taking a break to get warm.

Crawling!

Taylor is finally a crawler... and an author!!



We finally managed to get Tina's schedule at work changed so we could start riding to/from work together. Now we can drop Taylor off at daycare and then pick her up together. The first day we picked her up she saw us and crawled across the room to be picked up!

First Thanksgiving

Taylor celebrated her First Thanksgiving in Enid. She tried mashed potatoes but mostly stuck to her normal food. She had a blast swinging and got her first early Christmas present, her table! She loves standing and playing. We came home on Saturday and watched the OU/OSU game with the Krey's and Cohen's. Taylor fell asleep during the game but was very excited about the OU win! We can't wait to see the Big XII Championship game this weekend! Go Sooners!!

Taylor loves to swing!

The Wedding - Congrats Bill and Denise

We traveled to Tulsa for a weekend to see our friends Bill and Denise get married. Congrats to the newly married couple! Here is a pic of them dancing at their reception.

Brandolyn and Scott were there! We don't get to see them much because they live in Vegas, but we sure have fun when they're around!

A few of the girls at the rehearsal dinner.

And the guys they belong to.. (or own/control/manipulate/love!!...however you want to put it!)

The girls!

Taylor got to hang out with Brandolyn for a little while.

Taylor is kind of suspicious of Brandolyn, but she loves her anyway!

Under the Weaher

After we returned from the wedding Taylor got sick and couldn't keep anything down. We would feed her and she would proceed to "return to sender" shortly thereafter! This lasted for a few days before finally feeling like her normal self again.

Here is a pic of her with her Mama on an night where she wasn't feeling so great. She didn't want to put her little dog down! She had to have it with her wherever she went.Yep, back to enjoying her toys again!

Busted! Digging in her toy bin for something new to play with.

Really? Who's gonna stop her?! She gets whatever she wants!
