Taylor's List...

Taylor brought this to me earlier today. It is a list all the people she wants at her "srgry" next Wednesday. We haven't said much about the surgery and neither has she. I don't want her worrying about it, but I know it's been on her mind. I forget how big she is. She understands what's going on and she remembers EVERYTHING:)

More Pictures by Denae...

Denae needed more pictures for some advertising she is doing in Steve's Parade Home this year, so we were lucky enough to get another session with her!
Go check out her website:) and the Parade of Homes!

Scary Story...

So...we were in the car yesterday on the way to meet my parents for lunch at Zookini's. The kids were piled in the back, and Connor was in his carseat playing with a bracelet - a white beaded bracelet. Big beads, mind you.
That should have been clue #1 for me:) Not to mention the fact that my SON is playing with a bracelet. Poor kid...you would think he has no boy toys.
I was kind of nervous letting him have it, but he was happy - so I was happy:)
Every few minutes I would look back to make sure everything was OK - and that the bracelet was still intact and in one piece. We were almost to the restaraunt when I made one last quick check. I turned around and almost passed out. White beads were everywhere - in the carseat, all over Connor, and IN HIS MOUTH!
My heart started going a mile a minute and I told Taylor to "GET THE BEAD OUT OF HIS MOUTH!" She did - she's such a good big sissy. The look on Connor's face was hilarious. He knew he had done something he wasn't supposed to do, but he was so nonchalant -wondering what all the fuss was about.
After that, we breathed a sigh of relief and THOUGHT everything was good. We went on with our day as usual forgetting about the incident.
Well, Today, after Connor's afternoon nap he was dirty so I went to change him. I opened the diaper and smack-dab in the middle of the poop was a shiny white round bead. That kid had swallowed one of those gigantic beads. Oh my gosh! I felt like the worst mom. I started thinking about all of these horrible what-ifs: "What if he had gotten choked - he could have died." I was stunned. All I could do was just sit there staring at this white ball stuck in a pile of poop! I called Chad in to look at it with me:) We really couldn't do anything but laugh out of total shock.
The whole thing has warped me out.
I now know not to let Connor play with bracelets:)

Taylor's 7 Year Pictures...

Taylor won't actually turn 7 until June 18, but it's close enough:)
Denae did such an awesome job on these! They are so fun!
I can't believe my baby will be 7.
















And here is a cute one of Averi - I loved how her shirt matched the wall.

How Cute are These...

The Hannah Montana tickets are Taylor's 7th birthday party invitations!


For the party favors we have candy bars with personalized HM wrappers!


SO CUTE:)

Well...our schedule does not seem to be slowing down even though summer is 2 days away.

• JUNE 6-7 ~ Averi and Taylor's Dance Recital


• JUNE 11 ~ Taylor is getting her tonsils taken out


• JUNE 21 ~ Taylor's birthday party

Whew...I'm worn out thinking about all of it! Hope everyone has a great week!

Connor can Crawl...

Field Day...

WOW! It's hard to believe that in less than 2 weeks school will be out! And even harder to believe that Tay will be out of 1st and into 2nd grade. We all are getting that end-of-year bug! Who wants to be in a classroom when it is so nice outside?
With activities, parties and warmer weather - summer break is definitely in the air:)
Today was Field Day at Taylor's school. It was so fun...until Taylor slammed face first into the concrete. She busted her lip and cut her chin. But she was pretty much 100% better when we checked her out of school early and took her to Chic-Fil-A:) Funny how that happens!
