HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Preschool

Well Tayla started her 1st day of preschool last week at Lakewood Methodist Preschool. She was so excited to go. We got up that morning and she told me she wanted her hair done in braids with bows. She also asked if she could get a special lunch box like daddy's. She thinks it is so cool to be going to school just like her dad. When she realized that I wasn't staying with her she did have a little bit of a hard time but as soon as she got to play with the animal toys they had there then she was all right.

Tayla so excited to go to school

Her braids and bows she asked for.


It was such a nice day that day we decided that we need to do some playing outside when preschool got out. So here are the girls enjoying the Fall weather.








Tayla is trying to keep Amerie from running away.


Amerie Loves to try her hand at running down a slight hill in our front yard so here is some footage of her doing her favorite sprint

Amerie is growing up so fast she can really cruise now.

Fire Flys

Tayla has loves the Fire Flies that we have here. She has become a professional fire fly catcher. She is really good at it when the fire flies come out give her about 2 seconds and she will have one then another and another.

Tayla and the Fire Fly

Shaking it so it will glow

There it goes ( look closely over her shoulder you will see it)

Watching it fly away (Don't you love the bug antenna. We snagged those at a ladybug themed birthday party we attended earlier that day)

Some footage of the Fly Fly Catcher in action for you viewing pleasure.

Father's Day

Ok I need to play check up have a lot of post that I just have not got up so the next couple of post will be from this summer not in any order.

Father's Day

Tayla helping her Dad open up his presents. She is such a big helper especially when it comes to opening up presents

I tried my hand at making ribs for Andy. It was my 1st time and they turned out pretty good thanks to some good instructions from a friend (Thanks Lacie)

Andy is such a good Dad he even ended the day putting on a puppet show Tayla and I. Poor Amerie slept through all the Fun

I love Andy so much he is such a great Dad, Husband, and Friend I'm so luck to have him in my life!

Baby Brother

We were driving in the car yesterday and Tayla asks

Tayla: Mom will you take me to the baby store?
Me: The baby store??
Tayla: Ya the baby store so I can get a brother.

Make sense right when we buy everything else at the store why not a brother. And no this is not an announcement.

5 Teeth!

Amerie has got her 1st tooth this last week and Tayla has bee so excited about it. Amerie has also tried her hand at walking. She has been able to take 4 steps in a row before she falls. So this is that conversation Tayla and I had today...

Amerie was standing and takes a step and this must have been Tayla's 1st time noticing that Amerie has been trying to walk...

Tayla: MOM MOM! She walking! She Walking! Just like me!
Me: Yeah she is huh
Tayla: It is because she has one tooth!
Me:Oh
Tayla: Yeah when she gets 2 teeth she won't be able to talk, when she gets 3 teeths she won't be able to talk, when she gets 4 she won't be able to talk, when she gets 5 teeth she will be able to talk HUH!!!
(As she could she is using her fingers and when she gets to five she gets big eyes and shakes her head like it is a fact)

So I don't know why 5 is the magic number but when that 5th tooth comes in watch out according to Tayla, Amerie is going to be talking in full sentences.

Fairies

Today Tayla comes running into the room and says

Tayla: Mom there are so many Fairies
Me: oh there are
Tayla: yes there is the Tooth Fairy, The Dress Fairy, The Shoe Fairy.(She counts them with very exaggerated hand jesters as she points to her Fingers
Me:Oh
Tayla: Yah the Tooth Fairy brings you teeth, the Dress Fairy brings you dresses, and the Shoe Fairy brings you shoes.
Me: Is that right
Tayla : Yah I like the Dress Fairy and I like the Shoe Fairy but I don't like the Tooth Fairy!

I love the little things Tayla says and comes up with. She is a true girl! She also have this phobia of getting older. She is scared of death of getting "cracks" on her face (wrinkles) and losing her teeth (hence why she doesn't like the tooth fairy) She is so worried about it that if we don't brush her teeth immediately after dinner she is in tears yelling "I'm going to loose my teeth" Poor kid she has so many worries for such a little girl. But we love the kid and can't imagine our lives with out our little LULU!
