Conner's 3rd Birthday!

This weekend Taylor and I went to our nephew Conner's 3rd Birthday Party.  It was great - so many kids and everyone had a great time.  Check out some of the pics.  I had to document the day because Jesse was recouping from corrective eye surgery that day.  He can see great now!

Jesse's mom makes the best tasting cakes and every time she decorates them to perfection!  I got this pic before it any of the kids got there.  What 3 yr old wouldn't love it - Diego, Spider Man and Thomas the Train!

Conner opening one of the presents we got him.  A Little Tykes beach ball sprinkler for this summer.

The biggest gift of the day.... Conner's Dad was more excited than he was :)

Yep - a Motocross bike!  Don't worry - it has training wheels.

Dad spend the next hour giving rides outside.  I can't wait to see Conner on it!

The party wrapped up with a little Diego bashing.... so wrong.... but the kids loved the candy!

Basement Project

Since we were able to fix my car this winter and not have to buy a new one, Jesse and I decided to finish off the majority of the basement.  We needed the extra bathroom and a tub and the 2 bedrooms will be nice also.  I plan to move Taylor down there when it's done and we'll have a great play area in the living room.  Every night after I put Taylor down I've been trying to get down there to get the painting done.  Here's where we're at so far...

Above are pics of the living room.  There's only one coat of paint so far - it's a warm brown and I love it. 

This is part of the bathroom that will have a double sink vanity.  The tub is not in yet and we have to pick up the slate this weekend and the vanity next weekend.  I forgot how much goes into building!

This is the back bedroom that I just got the second coat on ~ DONE!  Taylor's room is going to be the front bedroom and that will be a golden yellow color.  I haven't even started that yet... but hopefully Thursday.

No More Helmet!

Yesterday we got the great news that Taylor is done wearing her helmet!  She only had to wear it for 2 months!  The Doc said this was a textbook case and couldn't have went better.  Check out that perfect head!

More Laughs...

Blond Hair & Blue Eyes

Taylor is definitely becoming a little ham!  Here's what's she's looking like without her helmet on.  Even Jesse and I think she looks like a totally different baby without that thing on.  6 months old today and blonde hair and blue eyes just like her daddy was at that age!
