 I'm in trouble, this girl LOVES clothes!

 And hats :D

 Ended the day with a nice bonfire since it was pretty cold!

 And one tired doggy!

A perfect "burd-a" for our ice cream-a-holic!!!!
What a special morning we had as a family. It was amazing to watch you open up Baby Jack with such excitement. It took mommy one hour to pick him out at Toy's R Us for you. He was meant to be. Daddy opened up his birth certificate and found that he shares the same birthday as your Grandma Tracy. She will always find a way, I guess to show us she is here in spirit.

We love you sweet Taylor and are so glad we got to celebrate YOU with a day full of fun and huge ice cream sundaes with our friends!
Happy Burd-A cutie patootie!

TWO.

Taylor Magoo...I can't believe you are two!!!! 

I remember your BIRTHday like it was yesterday and two years have already gone by. You were such an itty bitty baby and now you are becoming your own independent toddler. It makes me cry, it makes me smile, it makes me proud. I love watching you grow into your own little being. You are silly. You always are trying to make us laugh. I wish I had a picture of each of your faces. There are so many times I wish I had a camera attached to my head so I can click away and save every moment of you. You bring us joy and love each and every day. You have become quite the talker and I just want to bottle up your sweet voice. You say just about everything (repeating Mom, Dad or "onna" (Connor)), you can spell your name, sing many songs and smash monster trucks like any boy I know. You enjoy playing babies. You are so sweet, caring for them, holding them, wrapping them in blankets, feeding them, putting them to bed and taking them with you where ever you go. I do like to hover over you (you are still my baby ;D), protecting you from anything princess & barbie thing out there...So far you have no problem with that. You love to choose hot wheels and monster trucks over any other toy (beside baby) & choose to dress just like brother. You pick out your own outfit, telling me "own" and most of the time choose jeans & a one of brothers old Quiksilver t-shirts. I think your brother has a huge influence on you :D as most of the time you two LOVE each other and can play all day together. He just gets mad because you want to play with HIS cars, trains & trucks. However, you do have a girly side as you LOVE your piggies painted and enjoy sneaking in the bathroom to play with my make-up. You are my little skater, tom boy, cruisin for a bruiser, cutie patootie...I love you with my whole heart my little ray of SUNSHINE. 

Happy Happy 2nd Birthday!!!!!

Easter

 Going on a hike...

 

Searching for the Easter bunny...

 Easter bunny, Are you in there?

 Never found the Easter bunny, 

but the kids did swim in the lake in their birthday suits :D

 A tradition of dying Easter eggs together.

And dying Taylor's hair purple :D.

 So pretty!

 

 Being silly girls.

 The Easter bunny left a basket on the porch

 And then appeared at the cabin rocks...

 Laughing with the Easter bunny

 Playing peek-a-boo

 Laughing at the Easter bunny

 :D

 Going on a treasure hunt around the cabin rocks 

to see what the Easter bunny hid

 Connor, the bug man :D

 An of course, an Easter egg hunt.

We had an awesome Easter. There was so much more fun of helping Grandma cook her amazing meals, snuggles, playing on the cabin rocks...It was a perfect weekend.
