Last post for awhile

Taylor taking Matthew for a little ride. I love this picture; can't you just hear Taylor saying, "Matthew where should we go shopping?" During family night I got Matthew and Taylor's soft blankets and spread them out on the floor in hopes to get them to hold still for a little lesson. They both just love their soft blankets and just dive into them when they are around. They just rolled around on the floor and played so cute.

The pants say it all. Taylor is pretty wild. You got to love the crazy hair which she did herself by putting food in it during lunch. Lately she has started saying "ohh" which makes her little mouth look so cute.

We went to one of the amazing parks here in Toledo the other night and the weather was amazing. I went and got my jacket out of the car....in August. The kids love it when Glen can do things with us and so do I.

Glen and Matthew climbed this little log cabin and gave us their best ROAR!! Matthew is always roaring like a lion. It is actually pretty loud and scary. Watch out!

Yes, we make our kids wear helmets in the car for extra safety.

A day at the zoo

Again...... Matthew is a lion or tiger in this case. ROAR!!

I am not going to post for at least a month because I have too many things I need to do. So I decided to give you all a ton of pictures to make up for it. Most importantly, I need to work on the primary program which is coming up soon. I also want to catch up on my scrapbook and journal. You might say that the blog should count as both right? Well, the blog isn't as personal as my journal would be and the scrapbooking I'm still uncertain about the best way to do it. With Matthew and Taylor I can't even keep my house clean sometimes let alone scrapbook. BUT......I am determined to get these things done!! Hopefully, I can be done by Taylor's birthday to blog about that. I am sure I won't be completely caught up on the scrapbook but if I get all my pictures printed and some of it done, I might feel okay about blogging again.

The last couple of weeks

Taylor gives kisses now and it is so cute. You can see they are some pretty juicy ones too. It is very cute. She also blows kisses too. She sure seems to be growing up so much the last couple of weeks. She is now standing up on her own from crawling or sitting which she thinks is pretty cool. She took two little steps the other day but hasn't done any since. She doesn't stand for too long either; she usually goes up and down a lot. It is fun going through all the fun stages again. It will probably still be awhile before she starts walking.

Today we went to a parade in Maumee which was Matthew's first. It was fun and Matthew thought the candy was great of course.

On Wednesday we went to Maumee Bay for playgroup. The sand is great there and it is right by Lake Erie. The part we played at is actually man made making it cleaner and a nicer beach. I am dying because we can't go swimming for two weeks (well Matthew can't which means Taylor and I can't either). Matthew actually had to be recircumcised on Thursday. Glen was working so I had to go with him to the hospital. Being the worry wart that I am I kind of was freaking out but everything went well. It was a little hard seeing him wake up from the anesthesia but he is doing great. He was running around and talking our ears off like usual as soon as we got home. He is such a sweet boy and he did great.

The other day I had a bloody nose and it wouldn't stop so I stuck toilet paper up my nose. Matthew said that he had a bloody nose too and went into the bathroom and came out like this. Taylor had diarrhea yesterday and was crying so much because her bum was so sore. Matthew started FAKE crying and saying that his bum hurt too. Funny kid

I have been giving Taylor a bottle once a day and every time I do Matthew insists on having a sippy cup of milk and lays on the floor with her. These too are so funny!

I came into the kitchen and saw these two in the laundry basket. Life is full of surprises with two young kids.

The Zoo had a night where zoo members could go and ride the merry-go-round and train for free. The line was way too long for the train so we just went on the merry-go-round.

We went to a birthday party for a boy Matthew's age at our friends families cottage on Lake Erie in July. It was a Christmas party and they let all the kids open some presents that were under a Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun!
