The next Mia Hamm?

Taylor has now officially started her career in the sports world. She had her first soccer game this past Saturday and she did a good job making her parents proud by scoring a goal in the game. She is playing with one of her best friends which makes for a powerful one-two punch! In her age group they practice for the first half hour and then play four 5 minute quarters after the practice. Now we get to be the parents that provide the capri suns and orange slices at the games. How fun is that!! We will keep everyone updated on the season and let you know what college scouts are coming out looking at her and her soccer skills.

The night before the 4th we celebrated with the Baker's and the Lucus's. We had a BBQ at the Bakers house, let the kids play, and did fireworks. Here is Taylor and Easton playing in a tent in the back yard.

Here I am with my dirty faced two year old.

Peyton and Taylor were in heaven playing in the tent. They were pretending it was there doctor's office and they would take you in there and ask you what was hurting, then they would brush it off with this little broom they had. I think that Easton just liked being in the Tent with the girls, and the parents liked it because it kept them busy and out of trouble.

Here is my 2 men! Arn't they cute?

Jack and Jolie really loved hanging out together. Isn't Jolie the most beautiful baby?

Here is Peyton and Taylor ready for the fireworks! They were so excited!

Here is Mitchell holding Jolie and getting ready for the fireworks (he was almost more excited than the girls)

here are the girls and Easton with their sparklers! They had so much fun.

Here is Papa holding Jack before the fireworks. The babies didn't like the loud noises that the fireworks made. If it would've just been the lights without the noise they would have loved it.

Happy 4th of July!

The Beach

We went to the beach in June and it was Jacks first visit to the beach. He just sat in his beach chair all day....

Just kidding, he slept most of the time! I don't know if it was the sounds or the breeze, but everytime we went he slept for a few hours. He is definately a beach bumb!

The girls loved the beach like always! They played in the sand for hours each day. They also love jumping waves and looking for sea shells. They never get board at the beach. So with Jack sleeping most the time and the girls loving it I even got to relax a little.

We loved that the Bakers were there. Here are the uncles jumping waves with the girls. It was nice to have extra people to play with the girls because TJ couldn't come.



Here's the beautiful Huntington Pier. It brings back all the fun memories that I had at the beach as a child. The beach is always the best vacation.

Here is Aunt Kenzie with Peyton, after a long day at the beach she fell asleep while Kenzie was holding her. Jack just woke up from his long nap and was chillin in my beach chair.

It was fun that we got to hang out with Uncle Bret and Aunt Whitney because they live in California and we don't get to see them as much as the aunts and uncles. Here is Bret holding Jack at the Markham's house.

We were really excited to see Aunt Wendy, she lives in California and we don't see her as much as we would like but we want her to know that we love her! My girls always love to see her! Here she is holding Jack, I just love this picture!

We had a good time at the beach and we missed dad but we had a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us go dad and working so hard while we were gone. We love you!

Jack's Blessing Day

We are so grateful for all our family that was able to make it to this special day for Jack! Jack was so good for his blessing..mainly that he was happy during it..A big change from when we blessed Peyton with her screaming/crying while being blessed. The little suit that Jack wore was the same suit that Mitchell was blessed in about 20 years ago..hence the 80's look to it. Thanks again for everyone that came and helped out!!

Graduation

Taylor graduated from preschool on Saturday

The program was so cute they had some of them dress up in outfits from other countries and sing a song and dance. Taylor was the spanish girl, most likely because of her beautiful dark hair and dark eye's. She did such a good job!


Here's Taylor with 2 of her good friends from school, Miley and Noel.

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to my mom and TJ's mom.

Diane you are such a wonderful mother and grandmother. My girls just love you and they have so much fun when you come to visit. Thanks for everything that you do, I hope you had a good mothers day. We are excited to see you in a couple of weeks! Love you!

Mom you are an awesome mom and gigi. My girls love going to Papa and Gigi's house. You do so much for us, thankyou for taking care of my family. It was fun to spend mothers day with you. I consider you one of my best friends! Love you!

Grandpa!

We just had TJ's dad come and visit and we had a lot of fun. The girls just loved having him here. Thanks for coming Grandpa, we love you!





Taylor got to ride on a go cart with dad and she said it was the BEST EVER!


I love this picture with grandpa and all the grandkids. We hope that we see you again soon!
