Happy Birthday Taylor!

Yesterday Taylor turned nine! Wow, where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday she was born. She is such a special girl and Jon and I are so blessed to have her. We often wonder how we lucked up with such a sweet child. She has a heart of gold which shines through every day of her life! Happy Birthday Taylor we love you!

Have a great week!

Game Ball

Talyor had an awesome softball game last night! One that kept us on the edge of our seats! First of all she was playing her best friend's team. Given Taylor's personality, you know that is difficult! This is what it came down to....Taylor's team down by one...last inning...two strikes...a runner on 1st and a runner on 2nd.....Taylor up to bat....she hits it brings both girls home and wins the game by one run!!!! yayyyyyy...She got game ball (a ball awarded to the girl with the best game) but most importantly walked off the field with a HUGE smile on her face!

Making Up For Lost Time!

I admit, I have been really slack at blogging. We have been so busy I have not even taken the time to sit down and blog. I promise I will get better! Needless to say the girls have had a lot of fun things going on that I would like to talk about.

First, I must start out by bragging on Taylor. This past week she got her first report card this year as a third grader. Much to our surprise she brought home straight A's. (Well I guess we weren't too surprised...she takes after her mother.. haha)This is the first year they really get letter grades and follow a traditional grading scale. We are so very proud of her!

The girls also had the opportunity of going to Disney on ice this past weekend. They had a blast! That is all they have talked about this week. Nana and Papa got them tickets and took them. Madison and Ashley enjoyed dressing up in their favorite princess dress. Taylor went to a birthday party at Libby Lou earlier that day. There she got her hair fixed and LOTS of makeup! So all three were dressed up and ready to go! I forgot it was on ice....and didn't pack coats...so I think they froze for most of the show. Brrrr~ Anyways, they had a great time!

Surprise Pappy!!!

Tonight we had a party to celebrate Pappy (Jon's dad's) birthday. It was a surprise, which the kids really enjoyed. We all screamed HAPPY BIRTHDAY as he walked in the door. After that we ate two delicious cakes. Oh yeah...and we all wore our favorite sports attire. We had a great time. Happy Birthday Pappy!!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game~

Softball has officially started back! Tonight was the first game of the season. Taylor is playing for the Wildcats! This will be her 4th season playing, and 2nd season at first base. This will keep us busy EVERY weekend for the next two months. However, we all really enjoy it. Tonight Taylor was up to bat three times and scored on all three! Too bad the team couldn't pull off a win. They had fun and I guess that's what counts.(to the kids at least)~ We will try again on Saturday!

TGIF!!! (pause the music at the bottom) too funny!
