Updated Pics

This fall has really gotten away from me sorry for the lack of updates. I've been super sick during this pregnancy and can't wait for February to get here!

Taylor had a blast being a monkey for Halloween. She would wear this monkey costume everyday if you let her :)

We got to spend all day Thanksgiving together - which included a fun morning hanging out in our PJ's and laughing a lot! Then of course - we ate way too much at our 2 Thanksgiving parties...

Taylor just loves winter hats! I guess that's a good thing though. Here she is with one of them.

Only a few weeks until Christmas!

Sunday we were able to enjoy a trip to Helene's Hilltop Orchard in Merrill. It's a lot of fun for Taylor now that she's old enough to enjoy the rides and playground. Julie, Pete and Fischer came with us and it was such a nice day. We had some great snacks, bought a lot of apples and picked up frozen apple pies! Can't wait to eat them all!

First stop of the day was the 'Cow Train'. It did not look that safe to me - but we took a chance. The Dad's hardly fit in the 'cows' with the kids - but they had a blast touring around the grounds.

When they got back we had some fun in the play area. Taylor liked playing house and of course wanted to push that pumpkin out of the window!

Next stop was to try and see some very shy goats. Both the kids scaled the fence with help from Dad - and took a peak in side. At least they didn't kick us out!

The best attraction was this huge slide that Taylor just loved! I can't even believe she went down it considering I just had to rescue her from McDonald's PlayLand last month. But she had no fear and kept running up to do it again! We're definitely going to have to get a swing set for her next summer.

While we were waiting for our hay wagon ride - Taylor relaxed in the pumpkin patch. This was only one of 3 or 4 fields of pumpkins that were on the grounds! She had to sit down to take a break for a while, but then perked up when both her and Fischer spotted an airplane. When you live next to the airport you notice every airplane! They would not cooperate for a picture together... maybe next time.

It was such a fun day. Can't wait til next year!

New patio to enjoy!

4 Years in our house next month (It feels like we just built this place) and one of the last big projects is close to done! We finally have a patio off our kitchen. Colored, stamped, sealed and railing up all in less than 2 weeks! No steps yet to the downstairs patio - but they'll be coming next spring. Big thanks to Jason, Tom and George for helping Jesse get this done! Not bad for a couple of amateurs! I love it! But have to wait until next year to use it... At least the back yard is becoming a little more safe each year!

Summer Fun 2010

Here's a little peak at what we were up to this summer. A lot of fun times with family!

Holcombe is always a hit with the kids. They all loved going on the boats this year. Here's a good pic of them waiting for us to get ready. I think they'd wear those life jackets all day long if we'd let them.

Taylor and her Great Grandpa Ray - she was showing him the lake.

Driving the boat with Grandpa Tom.

First time tubing with Ali and Uncle Josh. They weren't even scared! I guess they don't know how Uncle Jason normally drives the boat :)

My Mom and Dewey had the 1st Annual Fishing Contest at their house this year. We all made it up there and the boys caught a lot of fish! Taylor and I chilled out all day and it was a lot of fun. Can't wait til next year!

Grady with his first taste of the champagne!

Nice picture with Grandma.

Uncle Steven must have had a few too many cold ones. Silly Steven - that Dora pole won't catch any fish :)

Taylor helping Grandpa Dewey cook the meat...

Or she was just stealing his supplies :)

At the Taylor County Fair - we entered Taylor in the tractor pull. She was too little to peddle - so Dad got to push her. She took first place in her age group! Good job Dad!

We also met Jason and Sue and the kids at the Clark County Fair in Neillsville. We watched some motocross and then let the kids go on a few rides. In the first picture - they were all trying to high 5 Jesse & Jason. I guess they couldn't read the sign to keep their hands inside at all times :)

Cooper and Taylor riding the train together. Conner said that was a baby ride - so he got to ride the big kid roller coaster :) But they all had a blast!

We also went to Jim Peck's. Mom was very bad at picture taking that day - but here's one of Taylor feeding her goats.

The Mayer family got together at John & Jayne's pond over Labor Day. It was so nice to see everyone! Taylor and Grady got to hang out for a while. It appears they have nothing but love for each other - but they pretty much fought over books the entire time.

This is Taylor trying to decide what to do with the biggest smore ever!

I guess I'll eat it!

Taylor Turns 2!

Today - our little munchkin turned 2! We had her party tonight and all of our family was able to join us. Taylor had such a great time opening her presents and playing with her cousins. Thanks to everyone for coming!

This first picture is from this morning - getting ready for daycare. She was already so excited it was her birthday!

Jesse's mom broke her leg a few weeks ago - so instead of one of her amazing cakes - we settled for cupcakes. I looked online and got some inspiration. Purple is Taylor's favorite color - so she loved them! Mom is also pretty happy there are left overs - because they were delicious!
