New Trampoline Ladder

Tampoline jumping just got a lot easier since D-D ordered us a new ladder. Here is some video of the kids putting it to good use (per D-D's request).

Maw-Maw's first embroidery project

I am sure there will be many more where this one came from (hopefully).

Will's big sleepover

Breakfast buffet the next morning.

The end of the night. Can't you tell?

Intense Wii playing which leads to massive meltdown before bedtime.

The 3 stooges and Abby. :)

My little boy had such a big time last Thursday night because his two favorite cousins and his Ney came and spent the night with us. They played so hard and had so much fun. It was such a treat to have them all here and I am sure quite a treat for Lee and Hugh who had a nice and quiet evening all to themselves as they celebrated their 10th anniversary. Here are some pictures from our little overnight adventure.

Fun at the zoo with the T's

We had dinner the other night with the "T" family and then went to the zoo for a little trick-or-treating. It was such a nice time. The company was wonderful and the zoo put(s) on quite a performance for Halloween. The kids had a ball and got some good candy to boot. A very fun night.

**Sissy's costume is a bit pitiful because it was too hot to wear her monkey costume so I had to create a make-shift ballerina outfit with a bathing suit and some tights.

Krispy Kreme Love...

How long does it take the Taylor family to down one dozen hot and fresh Krispy Kreme donuts?

Ohhh...about 8 minutes. 8 very memorable, enjoyable minutes!!

We came, we went, we conquered.

Happy Birthday Big Jul!

Boy we had such a fantastic day. We had a great visit with Ney and a grand time at Aunt Lee and Uncle Hugh's house. Will absolutely adores his cousins and rightfully so. They are such good boys and so very sweet to Will. Lee fixed Big Jul's favorite...pepper steak and chaplan salad...and it was soo delicious. The birthday cake wasn't too bad either (in spite of the fact that we burned the first cake and had to start all over again). The kids both crashed seconds after their heads hit the pillow and Brian and I aren't far behind them. We are so lucky to have such a loving, fun extended family.

Our fun family date night....

The kids and I met Brian down by the river tonight for dinner and had such a nice time. The weather was perfect, the food good, live music, a playground, and miniature golf. It was so much fun. There is just something about being around water. So peaceful and soothing.
