Spring?!?!

We finally got some nice weather!!! Taylor loves to be outside, and our day seems to go much more smoothly if she is happy!! We decided to have a picnic in the backyard.
Taylor actually ate her whole lunch...maybe we should eat outside more often!! :)

This picture doesn't make it look like Jordan was enjoying herself very much, but she loves being outside too! I can' t believe how quickly she is growing up!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Taylor!!

Taylor is absolutely in love with Elmo, so we had to do the Elmo cake!! My friend Katie gave us a couple of Elmo DVD's that her kids don't watch anymore and Taylor is constantly wanting to watch them...thanks Katie! (I wish you could here the sarcasm in my voice!!) I couldn't get her to smile! She is such a somber child (again the sarcasm! :) ) I baked the cake on Monday and put it in the freezer so that it would be easier to decorate. Taylor saw it and wanted to eat it...Then Tuesday I was decorating it during nap time so that it could be a surprise but Taylor came up from her nap while I was in the middle of putting Elmo's fur on! Of course she wanted to eat it!!
We got Tay this little vanity and as soon as she saw it, she forgot about everything else! Even the cake. So after waiting two days to eat her cake, she was too busy doing hair to even think about her cake!
Her friend Malia was really into the vanity too!! It should be interesting when she comes over to play...they already fight over everything!
So after playing hard all night and turning down cake multiple times I made her get ready for bed. I figured that she had forgotten about cake and got her down the stairs and almost to bed when she yells...."Elmo Cake. I want Elmo cake!" Well, it is the girl's birthday, so back up the stairs we went and had cake. After she had finished her first slice of cake, she asked for milk and more cake. Of course I indulged her and then she gulped down her milk and asked my for some chocolate milk...This girl can work the system!!
All in all...it was a great day and I can't believe that it's been two years since my little girl was born!! We love you Tay!
