Sesame Street fun!

Taylor LOVES Sesame Street.  We usually watch it in the mornings as she is eating breakfast.  She loves each of the characters so Michael bought her some Sesame Street figurines.  The child spends so much time, lining them up, pushing them down, putting them inside things, and then lining them back up again.  You can ask her where’s Cookie Monster?, or where’s Ernie?….and she’ll produce them along with a huge grin and giggle.  She knows all of them, but the only one she says right now is - Melmo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucy the Bear

Taylor got her first Build-a-Bear.  Meet Lucy!

She likes taking her in and out of the box more than anything…

 

 

We asked Taylor if she was ready to go “night-night”.  She decided that on the floor with her bear was just fine.

 

Or in her box.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Out of respect for the Turkey, I waited until the day after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and decorations.  I was so excited about decorating this year, and couldn’t wait for Taylor to “help”.  Unfortunately, she wasn’t too interested in it (maybe next year!), but we got it done nonetheless. 
She is, however, very interested in pulling the balls off the tree, yelling “ball!” while chunking them down the hallway.  Good times in the Bowling household.  So far, we’ve only had one casualty, but I imagine there will be more to come.

Thanksgiving 2009, part II

So once we got back to Dallas, had a day to relax, it was on to Thanksgiving #2!  We went out to the lake, to Shirley’s house for another awesome meal.  We had such a great time, as always!  This time, we brought Daphne.  Her first time around the other dogs, and at the lake. I must say she was an angel and she LOVED the lake, running around with the dogs, and just hanging out.  There were as many dogs there, as humans!

We had such a great time, thanks to Shirley for having us.  We can’t wait to come back! 

I’m ready!

Hi everyone!

Shirley is the best storyteller!

Thanksgiving 2009

Let’s rewind just a little bit… we took a quick (long) day trip to Oklahoma to visit my family. First, we stopped at Pa-pa and Grandma Katha’s for a quick visit.  Taylor had been babbling “Pa-pa” for days, so I was curious to see what her reaction was when she saw him live and in person.  Surprisingly she warmed right up! She even handed him his Birthday card, and ran right back to Mama.

Here are a few pictures from our visit…

Toys – old school style

Pa-pa and baby Hailey

 

After our visit, we headed to Great Grandma’s for Thanksgiving dinner!  Unfortunately I was in a food coma, so I didn’t take any pictures.  I’m waiting on Frankie to upload his so I can steal some. (hint, hint – Frankie!)

Just Because…

Grandma bought me this adorable outfit, so we had to test it out!

 

Three years ago today <3

 

 

To many more to come!

Springtime in November!

It’s so nice here lately.  Actually nicer than it was when I was in Mexico last week, but that’s a whole other story.  Taylor has been really sick this week (double ear infections, cough, fever, runny nose, diaper rash, you name it)  She is finally feeling better so we went outside to enjoy the nice weather!

 

 

 

 

 

The plane, the plane!

 

 

And finally…the looks she gave me after I told her that was “poo-poo” in the yard.
