I bought these story board templates from House of Three today because they were on sale and then I made one that I had to share. She is just so cute that I can't get enough of taking pictures of her (can you tell?). She's got two bottom molars coming in on the bottom, but you can't tell in the pics. 
We went on a very short trip to my mom and Robert's place in Rosarito this past weekend. It was so pretty down by the beach and the weather was much better there. Here are some cute pics I got...
This past weekend was Gavin's birthday party. It was the most adorabe pirate party ever. My sister did such a good job, but you'll have to check her blog to see pictures because I didn't get any of the decorations. I got lots of pictures of Gavin eating his cake so I made a collage. Happy Birthday Gavin!
Taylor and I met up with Janet and Ryan at a park by my house. Janet and I met in kindergarten and now we both have kids. We hardly get together, so this was a treat and it was so nice to see them.
Taylor and I getting a little wet. I love how she copies me all the time.
My cousin is married to Jacob who is in the navy. They have been in Florida for a couple years and are now moving to Hawaii. So, we had a little get together so we could see them before they leave again.
She is thinking about throwing her binky in the pool. It has gone swimming many times!
Funny story about this grouchy little dog.. Taylor is used to Gage who puts up with all of her nonsense every single day, all day. Well she started in on this little dog who is very grouchy to put it nicely. So, the dog freaks out and literally attacks Taylor and my heart drops but Jacob doesn't do anything, he just tells all of us, "She has no teeth!" So, no harm done. All day I would hear Taylor giggle out loud and that was because she got attacked again. She thought it was hilarious. Thank God that dog didn't have teeth!!!
So, Taylor and I are really enjoying the summer and being home and getting to do whatever we want without being on a schedule and having to get up early. We have been attending Musical Munchkins every week and that is so cute! The teacher wouldn't allow me to take any pictures until the last week of class, so that's the reason I haven't posted that. We have gone on a couple lunch dates, the beach, swimming, lots of shopping and other things. Taylor is at a really fun age right now and I am truly having fun with her...minus the tantrums every now and then! Our favorite things that she is doing right now is holding our hands while we walk, giving us lots of hugs and kisses with the mmmmmwahhh sound to go along wit them. She LOVES Elmo right now. It was like one day she woke up and wanted "mo" and hasn't stopped. She is still very fiesty and doesn't allow Gavin to touch her stuff. My sister and I are so bad that we think it's so funny, but it really is comical to watch. Our back yard is still under construction and has been for a little while. It's coming along though. My phone fell in the pool on Sunday and so I am waiting for a replacement. I am really sad because I'm pretty sure I lost all of my contacts and pictures. So, I will emailing everyone as soon as I get the new phone. I am going to post some pictures now:)
It's almost Gavin's birthday so Jenna and I went out for pictures the other day. We stole this idea from another blog because we thought it was so cute!
So I thought it might be neat the show the "before" picture...
And here's the "after"...
And the truth is that Jimmy actually took the picture, I just did the editing.
We spent the weekend at the river with the Leyva's and their family. It was a such a nice, kid friendly trip. I was nervous because I am always nervous to do trips and then to be so far from home, but it went very smoothly. Linkyn is four weeks older than Taylor, so we fit right in with them. We got to stay at Danielle's grandparents house whcih was right on the water and beautiful. It was perfect for hanging out while Taylor was able to nap inside. We went on a nice long boat ride on Friday and Taylor did pretty good. She was a little fussy on the first part, but Jimmy dug out her binky and she went right to sleep and then slept the whole way back. Fourth of July we went to a pool party at their friends house and swam for a lot of the day. No fireworks for Taylor...she was pooped! Danielle and I drove to Sonic after the babies went to bed to get dessert and see what Sonic was about, it was pretty good. Sunday we came home and Taylor did not really enjoy the car ride. She watched Elmo and played and screamed. Luckily she took a three hour nap when we got home. Overall, great, stress free weekend! Thanks Neal and Danielle!
Funny Dads!
That was her hair from a ton of sunscreen and a boat ride.
We got home from the river with our friends yesterday, we got up and went to Musical Munchkins this morning and when we got home Taylor went down for her nap and I cleaned up, unpacked a few things, did laundry and did Part one of this free photoshop class I am taking online. This is what I made...
I'll post river pics later...
