What a Day!

This week at Toddler Tuesday they had their Halloween party. We had two jam packed hours of food, books, songs, and a large room filled with lil' ghosts and goblins. Dad even took the morning off to go with. Taylor ran after the other children the entire time. He even scared a little bee. Towards the end, we were all ready for a nap!

He had no idea what was in store for him.

Taylor's Teacher Cinderella

Reagan and Lily. Our neighbors.

He was sleeping before we got out of the parking lot.

15 months!

If only I put as much effort into this as I do Facebook!

We have had visitors here this past week. Sean's Aunt and Uncle came to visit and Taylor was astatic. Uncle Stevie taught him how to say, "TOUCHDOWN" Now he runs around the house with his football in tow yelling, "Momma Touchdown!" I love it! He's so proud of himself. I love the age he's at right now. He loves to please you! If it only lasted through the teenage years!

We haven't been up to much lately. I booked a plane ticket to Oregon Nov. 3-17. I'm excited to see family, friends, and fall weather! I am praying that the plane ride will be smooth. Football is going well for Sean. They lost their 1st district game against a San Antonio team. They have another big game tomorrow night. They are 3rd in the league so they have a spot in the playoffs as of right now. Let's hope it stays that way.

Here's some frightening news: I found a rattle snake in the garage yesterday! It was terrible. I heard it "rattle" when I opened the garage door. Taylor and I were headed out to go for our morning walk and I looked over by the garage door and found it stuck on a sticky trap that we laid to catch scorpions! I ran down the street where contractors were building and asked one of the men if he would kill it for me. He grabbed his buddy, a bucket and a stick and headed down the street. They scooped him right in to the bucket and took him away. I kept telling to the guys, "Kill it! Kill it!" He told me he will but he didn't want to do it in front of Taylor and I. What a gentlemen...right?...I just hope he didn't bring him home for dinner!

On the lighter note Taylor had his 15 month checkup yesterday! I'm happy to report that there will be no shots needed until his 2nd Birthday. If you remember right he had 6 on his 1st Birthday. I guess that took care of the entire year. When it comes to stats he is 22.5 lbs. and 31 inches. He's finally catching up! He's in the 50th percentile for both!

Here's some photo's of the past few weeks:

Taylor's 1st PB and Cousin Emmy's homemade Strawberry Jam!

I went in to spy on him during an afternoon nap and he was cuddling with Pooh!

Driving the Car at Baby Eddie's 1st Birthday/Going Away party! Baby Eddie and family moved to New Mexico for Border Patrol.

Finally giving Mommy love! He always shakes his head no and smiles:(

Gotta Love Those HOT Summer Mornings

When I water the flowers Taylor usually sits in front of the sliding glass door and watches patiently while eating his breakfast. Well...when the door opened last week, he ran out the chute like a barrel racer. He was determined. When the water would spray him he'd shrug his shoulders, wrinkle his nose, and laugh hysterically. Then top it off with a little dance. He had no fear of the sprinklers which I might add shot out with force. Pictures don't do justice but here's the rodeo.

Look! He's got his momma's moves.

Look at that face. I just love my lil bugger!

Bedtime routine.

Looking inside the car again!

Maybe this is why he loves steering wheels.

Who needs water?

Dinner time! He's a good eater!

He needed his momma that night! :)

A Visit From Grandma Wanda

Grandma came to spend some time with Taylor. He loved having all the attention on him. However, he's not big on giving kisses and Grandma kept insisting. He had a blast. It also gave me the opportunity to get some stuff done and take a much needed trip to go shopping San Antonio. The weather was rainy the first few days and then it started to clear up so we could spend some time outdoors. Grandma bought Taylor a new play structure and it has been keeping him busy. He's still learning how to climb up one side and slide down the other. He hollers for me when he's ready to go down the slide.

Loves looking inside the dump truck at the steering wheel.

I would tell him, "go sit on your melon" and he'd run to the kitchen and plop right on the watermelon. It was too cute. Untill he started rolling it around the house.

Loves the staircase. He gets all giddy after bath time. He runs around the house "airing out"

Helping with film at school. They had a game last night so they're 3-2. But undefeated in league.

We couldn't get him off this lawnmower at Lowe's. He put up a fight. I can't wait for him to go to Great Grandma and Grandpa's barn to see all the tractors. My mother just bought a new John Deere so, she'll have to take him for a ride.
