Memorial Weekend So Far.....

(Pictures are not in order, I could not get them to load correctly)

Tayten and I have had a busy weekend. We've spent lots of time in the sun and doing all the things we enjoy!

Friday night we went to the Lindy Freeze and took a Tractor ride with daddy. Then on Saturday we went shopping in Indy with grandma, Kelsey & Shelby. We went to lots of stores and the mall. We ate lunch at Shelby's favorite Joe's Crab Shack. Tayten loved watching the employees dance and sing. We hit a huge sale at the Disney Store so wait until you see the new Minnie Mouse gear!!

Finally Sunday we went to a cookout at Penny & Tim's house. The kids had a water balloon fight and played with bubbles. Needless to say Tayten loved it!!

Picture Comparision

I love going back and looking at old pictures. It's fun to see what Tayten looked like and how little she was last spring/summer.

This one was taken last

And this one was taken

Such a big girl all grown up!

What a difference a year makes!!
Makes me so sad :(

Today...

We went to Cole Elementary and watched Haylee perform in the talent show. She danced to "Party in the USA" It was so cute and they did a super job! It brought back lots of memories sitting in that gym watching the talent show. Haylee is the 3rd little girl on the right. Then we came home and Tayten decided to run around naked. She seems to think that she doesn't need to wear any clothing when it's hot out!
Around dinner time we gathered up dinner to take to daddy and Brent. While we were waiting on them to get back to the farm we chatted with this little guy! Isn't he cute?
He's free if you want him!!

And then we waited some more on the boys. Finally they arrived and ate there dinner. Tayten once again stripped off her shirt and ran around the barn lot! She was so dirty that she had bath time as soon as we got home!

She wasn't crying in this picture. Her allergy's are misbehaving so she looks horrible. She was actually very happy while we waited on the boys. She just looks bad!

So that was our day...

What did you do TODAY??

Weekend

Our weekend started off by going to my Aunt Connie's Spa Party Friday night. If you have never been to one you should because there fun and relaxing. As always it was a so much fun

She's modeling the lip mask!! :)

(Connie please don't hate me!! Brandy took the picture)

Then Saturday morning we picked up mom and the girls and went garage saleing. I picked up a little bike for Tayten. I'm not having much luck at sales anymore! Then in the afternoon we went to Grandma Haugen's Tastefully Simple Party. Yum and fun.

Finally on Saturday night we went to Gracie's 4th Birthday party! She had a princess party complete with the Cinderella Cake!! I think everything she got for her birthday had something to do with the Disney princesses!!

Sunday we worked around the house and outside a bit. Then we went to Bruno's for dinner! O- how I love Bruno Dough!!!

Picture Overload

There Here!!!!

Tayten's new pictures!! I love them all!!
Her shirt say's " Orange you so glad I'm so cute"

This one shows how fisty she is!!

I think this is my favorite!

I know I get her picture taken a lot, but I just love pictures and I love tutu's so it's the perfect pair!!

Happy Birthday.....

GRACIE!!!!

We hope you have a fabulous 4th birthday!!

Love-Brandon, Jennifer & Tayten

Craft Project; Cork board tiles

Last night I made these cork board tiles for the office. There super cheap and easy to make and they dressed up the cork board in the office!

Step 1. Cork Board Tiles- Purchased at TargetStep2. Fabric- Purchased at Hobby Lobby
Step 3. Lay one tile on the fabric and cut a square out around the tile. You don't want to much extra fabric or it's hard to staple. Fold over edges and staple

Step 4. Staple all folded edges

Finished Product!!

I think I'm going to add some ribbon along the sides to dress it up even more!

Gym Time

Last Wednesday daddy got to come with us to Gym class. Tayten sure was excited. The entire time she yelled "daddy daddy" So.. since daddy was there we finally got some pictures. Her leotard is probably the cutest thing ever. Stretching

Today's Face

Wrinkled up eyebrows and all!

20 Months!

It's hard for us to believe that our baby girl is 20 months old today!!Look how big she is!

I took this picture last night and I think she looks so grown up! Brandon and I both can not believe that she will be TWO in just a few short months. I wish there was a way to keep her little but I love how fun she is at this age.

Not much has changed but here's some of her favorite things;

1. Mickey Cheese. They sell it at Wal-Mart and she knows that they do. She comes up to the fridge and asks for "Mickey Cheese"

2. Swinging and playing out side. We have to spell "OUTSIDE" because if she hears the word you better be taking her out to play

3. BIG CARS.. Example...Tractors , Trucks. Sprayers anything that is big. She gets so excited to see Daddy or Brent in the "BIG CAR" because they just might let her have a ride.

4. Puzzles. The ones I got at a garage sale have been huge hits.

5. Hugging. She loves to hug people good-bye. Soo Cute

I couldn't decide what picture I liked the best so I posted them all!

Being a silly Girl

Happy 20 Months sweet girl!

Your growing up so fast, we love you so much!

Wordless Wednesday

Yes...she poses for the camera!
