She's Walking!!!

Taylor's been taking steps occasionally for about 6 weeks now. On Sunday, she really started walking a lot more. By Monday, I think I only saw her only crawl twice that day! Now, she walks EVERYWHERE! I took these pictures of her yesterday. I LOVE this outfit that my uncle, aunt and cousins gave her. Thanks Brad, Kari, Tin and Kelc!




In other news, we are officially "in" the new house. I really LOVE it! We see Dustin a lot more, save on gas, and sleep really good at night b/c it's so quiet! I don't know if I'll ever be able to live back in town again!! We walk to the playground at the school almost every day and the kids love it! Taylor and I go down to the gym some at the end of Dustin's practices and she loves to play on the court!

We had the basketball girls over Monday night to eat supper. Taylor wasn't too sure what to think, but I had lots of fun! They kicked off their season last night with a win over Jayton! Basketball season is now in full swing! Come see us sometime at our new place!

Go Eagles

Taylor wore her cheerleading outfit to the Pep Rally last Friday! She LOVED being there!!! She wanted out on the court with the cheerleaders SO bad! The Eagles beat Whitharrel last Friday night to win district! They haven't won district since 1997, I believe. It's been that long since they even made the play-offs. The will play their play-off game the day after Thanksgiving. Way to go Eagles!!

Taylor Turns "1" and Some Fun News



We celebrated Taylor's b-day with a birthday party last Saturday. There were 40+ people at our house! And as many presents as people. Taylor is so loved and she hasn't got a clue! We had lunch and birthday cake and ice cream. I stayed up until 2:30 am making her cake, but it turned out great! Taylor opened about 2 presents, then was done. So, I got to enjoy opening them like it was my birthday! WooHoo!! She hit the jackpot! She got lots of neat toys, cute clothes and cute shoes!
I cannot believe that my sweet baby is "1"!! I remeber bringing her home this time last year, like it was yesterday! She has drastically changed our lives, and I feel so blessed! She has started walking, when she feels like it, and it makes her look so much older. She is repeating anything we tell her to, which is so cool! I can also tell her to go get things, like her cup, paci, ball or car and she knows what to get! I love it! We are also only giving her formula at night, and will stop that once we are through with this can. She is eating all table food and no more baby food! She is such a big girl!
For the fun news...no we are NOT pregnant. But we are moving to Southland! The School Board offered us a house, with all expenses paid, for practically nothing. We can't pass it up! It will save TONS on gas and bills! And it will allow for lots more family time. I am thrilled! The hardest part of it is that I will be losing a couple of kids. I will still be keeping the kids whose parents teach at Southland, but I will miss Thatcher and Hunter, though! I'm going to be living in the country, practically, which will be weird! We are going to try and rent our house, so if you know of anyone looking, send them our way! God is constantly providing for us and answering our prayers. We never cease to be amazed at how He takes care of us!
The lack of posts is because our modem crashed! We are expecting a new one, soon. More posts and pics to come!

Southland Homecoming and 11 Month Birthday

As promised in the previous post, here are pictures from Southland's homecoming game last night. The Eagles beat the Lazbuddie Longhorns 59 - 19. The first few pictures are of my cousin, Kelcee. She is an 8th Grader and the Jr. High got to cheer at the Varsity game last night, since it was Homecoming. Check out her toe touch in the 3rd picture...OUCH!!



Here are some pictures of Taylor in the cute shirt Marissa made her (see previous post).

How Sweet!

Taylor was 11 months old last Sunday (the 16th). YIKES!! I can't believe it! She also took her first step on Tuesday. It's SO cool!!! New things she likes to do...
1) Sing "This Little Light of Mine" - she holds up her finger and goes "La La La La"
2) Walk behind her push toy. She will go forever if we let her!
3) Eat anything we are eating. She loves table food.
4) Sit in her chair and "read" a book
