Taylor Boys Birthdays

My cute little nephews birthday are pretty close in October, so Meg decided to do a joint birthday party for them (while she can still get away with it). It was a lot of fun, Meg always goes above and beyond in making the cake and doing fun stuff for the kids. They all had a blast! Well, except for the Hastings family who were home sick. Here are some pictures from the fun time. Oh, and please notice the awesome cake Meg made again! She is truly amazing. I love all of my sweet little nieces and nephews, I am so glad my family is so close and that we get to see them all grow up together. Happy Birthday too Enoch (5) and Jarom (2).

Dinosaur cake!

The birthday boys

First Grade Frights

My son Gabriel is in first grade this year and boy is he learning a lot. I would like to share with you a couple of things that he picked up at school this week.

Story #1

Cali and Gabe are upstairs wrestling when I can only assume Gabe gets hit "between the legs." I then hear Gabe yell "oh.... my cheese its." He was clearly referring to his package. He then said to Cali, "actually Cali when boys at my school get hit there, they yell OH MY WEINER!" I sat downstairs listening to my 6 year old tell my very clueless four year old GIRL that boys have weiners between there legs.

Story #2

After finishing dinner Cali and Gabe are sitting on the couches getting ready to do their reading and Gabe starts singing "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me. Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me." A song that he has NEVER heard around here. How nice it is to know he is learning so much at school.

The Big White Alligators

This fall Cali has been on a soccer team. They were named the Big White Alligators. Chris Routson was the coach and I was the assistant coach. She had a lot of fun going out and playing with her friends. She was on a team with her cousins Hannah and Payton, also her friend Jace that lives across the street. I think it is pretty safe to say that she will probably not be a super sports star in her lifetime, but she sure was cute out there. She tried hard and ran fast, it's just that the others were faster. She did however score a goal in the opponents goal one game. I was just thrilled that she kicked the ball!! Here are some pictures... If nothing else, she is most certainly the cutest thing out there!

Look at her go.

This is usually what she did on the field

Watch out Chris

Suit up!!

Try keeping a bunch of 3 and 4 yr olds ready for the game

I am surprised Hannah got that close to this kid. He was a pusher.

This is Cali's friend Jace!

Thumbs up

What a bunch of fierce soccer players

Sad Kids.....

For the past couple of weeks my poor little kids have been off and on battling sickness. First Cole then Gabe and now Cole again. It is the saddest thing to see your kids so sick and not be able to do much for them. With the crummy asthma that Gabe has to fight I am always worried about him getting sick and now I have to worry about this darn swine flu. It's a good thing kids bounce back from things so quickly. Hopefully this isn't a sign of whats to come this winter in my household.
