Happy 6 months Abigail

Abigail turned 6 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time goes by. We took our last walk to the park last week. It has cooled down too much for her to be out that long. I have a feeling that motivation for her brother's toys will get her crawling before Makale did at 9 months. I have her apt on Tuesday, can't wait to see how much weighs now.

Early morning play time with blocks
Her latest trick..going from either sitting or tummy to on her knees rocking back and forth. She sometimes scoots with her head..gives herself rug burn.

Sweet girl
I had to take a picture of Makale; he looked just like Jeremy to me.
Makale put my slippers on and didn't want me to take a picture
He then decided it was okay to take his picture

Dezdin Taylor turns 1

Dezdin Taylor turned one on Nov 16th. Brandi made this amazing cake. She is going to make Abigail a princess cake for her 1st in May. We had a good time hanging out and chowin down on cake and ice cream.
Proud momma..this was as much about her as Dezdin
Makale really enjoyed the yummy cupcakes
Draes had to help his brother to make sure it tasted okay
Dezdin went to town on his cake..what a cutie

mini photo-shoot

Abigail was in a good mood after her nap yesterday so I got out some hats and started taking pictures. She is a cutie and it was fun for both of us.

I kept this bib from Makale so Abby can be "Grandma's little Gobbler" also

Sugar Cookie fun

Jeremy was gone all day on Sunday and I wanted to do something fun with Makale. I baked the cookies while he was napping and then he helped decorate when he woke-up. I had some Halloween and Christmas cookie cutters, but only Christmas sprinkles.

I was in charge of frosting and he did all the sprinkles, it was a fun afternoon activity

Lots of sprinkles

Abigail took a 3 hour nap and Makale slept for a couple hours also. She played happily while we decorated cookies. Even with a cold, she will smile for me.

Makale chose one of each shape to eat; he was pretty sugared up so we walked to the park to get some of the energy out.

The finished product =)

Baby girl almost 6 months old; she is a really happy baby. Only upset with sleepy or hungary.

She still likes the exersaucer

Look at me...Sitting all by myself

Look at me momma...she is so happy to be able to be able to sit and play with toys. Makale sat-up at 5.5 months and Abigail did the same.

On Nov 2nd she sat-up for about 5 minutes before falling over, by the next day, she was sitting with no problem.

That smile makes my day =)

Bennett checking out Abigail..both are almost 5.5 months old

We went to Kid Planet on Monday and Makale had the place to himself

Chewing on a letter and waiting for breakfast

Now that Abigail is sitting-up Makake has fun bringing her toys and sitting next to her, it is fun to watch them together.

Some lovin for his sister

I couldn't leave Makale out of the post..he had fun lining-up all his cars

Happy Halloween week 2009

Last weekend the weather was really nice and we joined our neighbors for the Great Pumpkin launch, it was really fun. We also had a good Halloween with the kids.

The cannons were aimed at road signs and the pumpkins would shoot holes through the signs, it was crazy to see in person

This pumpkin cannon shot pumpkins 3/4 of a mile..crazy

Makale thought it was too loud so Jeremy had his hands on his ears the whole time.

Abigail started sitting-up for 30 sec at a time this week

Abigail was curious to know what Makale was doing

Makale also liked his card from Grandma Sammie and the stickers

Costume contest winner

Abigail won the costume contest at Signature Point's party

Makale loves to glue stuff

Dezdin Taylor will be a year old Nov 16th

The boys waiting very patiently for their daddys to come home so we could go out. We had church and there was clean-up after.

Our neighbor Nikki carved 14 pumpkins with her family, it was really fun to see.

Checking out the candy he got from our neighbors house

Daxton, Draes and Makale

Tasting his finger after eating a candy part way through

Dusty and the boys going to a neighbors house

Makale led the group from house to house

Makale went straight for the dum-dum sucker

Trying to get the Taylor boys to take a picture was pretty funny.

Fall is here!!!!!!

The weather has been in the mid 60's the past week and we have been walking to the park everyday. The trees by the pond and park have all changed and are so pretty.

Makale likes to run in the leaves

I was able to get some more pictures of the kids when we walked to the park by our house.

Another fav picture

This tree is so pretty in person

Makale loves to swing also and always wants me to run under

Sweet girl loves to swing next to her brother

Makale was concerned that she had a stick in her hand

Makale handing Abigail a leaf to look at

Abigail checking out a leaf and Makale laying next to her.

Our little family of pumpkins. I love, love, love this time of year. All the trees are so pretty and the temperature is good. By Nov it cools down a lot and we won't be able to be outside too much.

My cousin Michelle and her boyfriend Jake were in town from UT and came by for a visit. It was great to catch-up with them.

Makale playing with Michelle's phone.

Makale playing with buttons that my mom sent

We went on a walk around the block and we found some great piles of leaves

The colors around the city are so beautiful, I had to take the kids to the park to take pictures.

My big boy...3 years old

Look momma I found leaves

My goal was to get some cute picturs of the kids at the park and it was a success.

Sweet kids

Ann Morrison is so pretty right now

Of all the pictures, this is by far my favorite

If she had been looking at me this would have been a fantastic picture..it is still cute

This was the 2nd place we stopped for pictures

I thought it was funny that they were both looking different directions

He loves his sister

Showing Abigail a leaf

My friend Brie and her two girls met us at the park. Jane is about 2 months older than Makale.

The kids found this rock and decided to climb it

The pictures hardly do it justice

It was such a beautiful day to take pictures

Brie and I were both shocked how well the kids were getting along

The kids exploring in the leaves

Brie was the 1st mommy friend I met when I moved to ID. Our kids started playing together at the park and we soon became good friends. Our families have grown also in the past year. She just had baby #2 about a month ago.

At least one of us is looking at the camera

I set-up a photo shoot with Abigail a couple days ago. She was pretty entertained with the leaf and pumpkins.

Abigail- 5 months old

My sweet pumpkin girl

Anything will go in her mouth

My pro-eater. She now eats oatmeal 2xs a day. We have tried bananas and applesauce and butternut squash, she loves them all.

Makale painting the pumpkins; not sure yet if we are going to carve them this year.

She is pretty good at sitting with a little help; if I move the pillows, she topples over.

She was really trying to get that block
