Really...It's been 5 weeks since my last post?

Sorry.

In the last 5 weeks I have:
~ Gotten hugely pregnant & haven't taken ONE picture

~ Had my couch painted with bright pink nail polish...Not that that was the intent. Taylee's entire hands were painted, her pants ruined, and again: NO picture. But she was so proud of herself! I was a little proud too.

~ Have watched my 21 month old try to potty train herself.

~ Sent my hubby back to school, making my life a little more lonely.

~ Spent A LOT of time away from my house for all types of reasons. Being a 'stay at home' mom has a little different meaning in my life :)

So again, sorry. I'll do my best at getting cute enough to take a pregnant picture for the requests I've gotten. And I'll try REALLY hard not to neglect my source of journaling (since that's all we've got).

What to expect…

I really am sorry that our blog has been neglected lately, we've been busy. I know some of you may think, "Nice excuse!" And maybe that's all it is…hahaha!

Taylee really loves the snow. These are the only pictures we took over Thanksgiving weekend…

 

She has Grandma wrapped around her finger and was able to talk her into lots of sled rides! Which was nice because I don't have snow boots and didn't last long.

 

Today daddy went out to shovel the snow (or the 'ss…sss…NO' as T calls it) and she threw a fit until he agreed to wrap her up and take her out with him.

I went out a few minutes later to find that they were making our Snowman Family. And because I have such a creative hubs we have some news to share…what do you think it is?

We are expecting baby #2. Lars tried to make mommy snowman pregnant, but she just looked extra fat! (If you've been preg before you know this is NOT how you want to look but is definately how you feel)
Taylee loves her baby. Although she has no idea how a baby will change her world for now. I love these last two pictures...I just can't get enough of my sweet little T bug!



She's hugging her snowman and kissing her baby snowman. It was really funny when I told her we needed to go give her snowman a nose, she grabbed her nose and said: "My nose!" in a really sad voice. But was so excited when I showed her that carrots were noses for snowmen and choclate chips were eyes! She consumed a lot more of each than were used for the facial features!


 

We hope you're all feeling the wonderful Christmas Spirit so far...

Remember the Reason for the Season

Thurs night: who guessed it: Fever keeps me up all night

So about a month ago I started working on Lars, for I had a special treat in mind for him this Halloween! Imagine green tights. That's right I hoped he would be Peter Pan!
I almost had him convinced....Unfortunately I failed at the last minute. But Taylee still very much enjoyed being Tinkerbell. I think she made a very cute one at that!




It was a lot of fun watching her as she quickly figured out what it took to get candy from strangers...what a bizarre holiday. Her cute little voice, "Trit or Treat".




We carved pumpkins last weekend. The first picture is her first encounter with the nasty insides of the 'pumpkie'. She said: "Eeewwww!"



But then it was down to business. She loved it!


(It's a headless horseman. Taylee LOVES horsies!)

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!

Wow...It's been awhile

Sorry I've been neglecting the blogging world. I'll ry to find some time to post all the fun things we did with the rest of the summer soon :)

Some first’s continued…

T's next 'FIRST' experience was

Riding a Horse…Well pony anyway

I wasn't really sure that how she'd feel about this so Lars was on camera duty and I was on 'cuddle' duty. While we were waiting in line she was super excited about the ponies. She was going from one person to the next to get that much closer, and kept trying to push the people in front of us out of her way. Then it was our turn…When we started walking up to Andy (her pony) she grabbed on really tight, but once I asked her what the horse said she started singing the 'William Tell Overture' and bouncing up and down (the whole time). She started feeling so comfortable that she even pushed me away for a second. By the end of her ride she didn't want to get off. She is so much fun, and I still think she's the cutest baby in the world!
