Mommy wow, I'm a big girl now!!!

So Taya was really starting to hate her crib so we switched it to a toddler bed.. So far it has been pretty good.. The only problem now is that she gets up an hour or two earlier! So that is zero fun!!

What?????? 18 months!!!!

Can you believe this?????? Where did the time go??? Sheesh!! Man I am so grateful for photos so that we can remember what this little miss looked like! This shoot was a lot easier then the last one with her!! We sang a lot of popcorn on the apricot tree! That is her favorite song right now!! She just flaps her hands around like the popcorn the whole song.. it is so cute!! I just love her so much!!!

I love this one.. "mom do we have to???"














Okay Okay... I am done!!!!

Our busy Christmas!

On christmas eve we went over to my grandmas house and had dinner and then went to my moms and the grandkids got to open their PJ's!! Then we read Christmas stories that made us all cry... then we stayed up and talked! It was fun!





Taya also got some stick on earings because we want to get her ears pierced but her dad won't let us!!!! So here are her cute earings!


Christmas morning was so fun!!! My sis called us at 6:45 and Matt was not having it!! He was not about to get up that early.. after 1/2 hour of convincing he finally got up!!

Taya coming down the hall to see what Santa brought her!






She thinks this tent is the coolest thing ever!! She runs in and out laughing everytime!



What a spoiled kid!! Yikes! We better tone it down!

Matt was so sneaky.. he goes to work at 8:30 and gets off at 6. He didn't ever go shopping in the evenings... so I asked if he had gotten me anything and he said he was just going to do a gift card!! I was bummed!! Well he actually was going in at 8 and getting off at 5:30 and shopping until 6 everday so that I wouldn't know.. sneaky sneaky!! Look at all the stuff he got me!!! I loved it all! The coat, hat, MP3 player, 2 pair of jeans, and a foot cleaner thing! Can I say SPOILED!

Then I got him a hat, shirt, shoes, and black and white socks!

Then we went back to my moms... Taya was tuckered!!!



Now off to my dads in Inkom.. This is Katie's boyfried Derrek.. Taya loves him.. It is so crazy!

Everyone got silly string in their stocking so you know what that turned into!! Yep a huge fight!









The last stop was to Matt's family!! His parents gave us dutch ovens.. YUM!! Now we need to learn how to cook in them!

Karen (Matt's mom) and his grandma Adams made Taya this beautiful nursery rhyme quilt with a matching quiet book!! Love it... they put so much time into it which makes it that much more special!




Hope everyone had a great holiday!
