Fun with Horses

Taylor got invited to go to a little kid horse event with the Gorham's. We woke her up from her nap so that we could get there on time and this is what happened...

We rushed to get in there and put a helmet on her and her Uncle Jeremy jumped up on the horse to take her around the barrels and she got really spooked. I think it was a little too much too fast. I am sure that if she warmed up to the idea for a few minutes she would have been fine. She normally loves this stuff and never gets afraid. So, she got down and she was fine. She still had so much fun hanging out at this place.

Cute girls!

She would rather walk the horse.

Jimmy took her for a ride. He said he didn't remember the last time he was on a horse. He looks like a natural to me. I think he's trying to hide that he's a cowboy.

He had on his cowboy boots.

She loves this stuff. Good thing we have family for her to get to do it.

Better than any kind of toy...she would have done this all day!

Happy St. Patricks Day

It's almost her birthday...

She's almost two! Where has the time gone? Her outfit matches the theme of her birthday party that's coming up...

Taylor the Bookworm

Taylor loves to read all of her books. She sat down and started reading tonight and then she scared us...

She runs around with this book and screams warrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! It's such a cute book and each page has a different animal, but she always has those pages facing her.

She loves this touch and feel book with all of the, "woof-woof"s in it.

Something very exciting happened in this Elmo book, I just couldn't understand what she said. She is at such a cute age right now!

We bought the movie Because of Winn Dixie at Target the other night. Every movie that she likes has a nickname like Stuart Little is called mowf for mouse, Dr. DoLittle is woof woof because of the dog, Beverly Hills Chihuahua is called wawa and now Winn Dixie is just called, "Dix." Hope she doesn't say that in public!

Happy Birthday Nana!

We had a surprise party this weekend for my nana. She had no idea!

The little ones had the most fun. My aunt lives on a golf course, so they ran and played all day. This was before they realized they could run out there.

Then Emma got there and showed them the ropes. It's her grandma's house, so she knows.

She showed Taylor how to chase the big geese...

So cute!

She showed her how to climb trees.

They figured it out fast and they loved it. They thought they were at a giant park that was all theirs. Luckily there were no golfers. They were all doing their own thing here.

Some more love from Emma.

Sweet little Emma.

And I think it was my lucky day because I actually got real smiles a couple of times. I usually get the scrunched up fake smile, but not yesterday.

She's actually mad right here and sat down because she didn't want to walk back to the house. Made for a cute picture though.

Hiding in a little piece of furniture.

And last...birthday cake. We relit the candles a bunch so they could keep blowing them out. Taylor stopped blowing them out and kept digging her fingers in the frosting. She wasn't being sneaky or anything...she just likes frosting and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

 

Mmmmm. She loved the cake too.

 Taylor was asleep almost instantly in the car from all of the running around she did.

Hope you had a great birthday nana!

Happy 4th Anniversary to us!

Tomorrow is our 4th anniversary, but I thought I would post tonight while I have time. I sat down to post "a" wedding picture and now I can't choose only one. I haven't ever posted these on  my blog, but I have loved seeing some wedding pictures on other friends blogs.  I am sitting here enjoying every minute of looking through each picture again. This was such a wonderful day.

This was before we had seen each other

On my way to the aisle...

Our wedding party.

Some blogging friends that I know will see this :)

I just cut out about twenty other pictures I was going to include.

We are going out on Friday to celebrate...can't wait!

Next I will post a couple from out honeymoon in St. Lucia, but I think I have to scan those. It was neat to see St. Lucia on the Bachelor, it made me want to go back.
