Turball Two's!

Sorry to write it like that... but that's how Chris says it now. He told me God told him to say it like that from now on. :) He's on this weird kick where every time he does something, he says God told him too. I swear it's like I'm married to an 8 year old sometimes :) But I love it. And I love him...

Anyways... back to Taylor's Super Awesome, Kickin "Two-she", Birthday Party(ies)

First, I'll start with her ACTUAL birthday. We were on Florida for her birthday, and it was our last day there. So half of her day was spent in the car on the drive home (sad) but I think she had a great time. Because we were in a hotel room, we decided to stop by publix and just buy some slices of cake. We also bought a candle and a couple presents (wrapped in grocery sacks.)

Her evil eyes because we sang Happy Birthday to her!








Okay, so I just accidentally deleted this picture... taylor's next gift was a plush mickey mouse!

Next comes the "Party" at my parents. We never really had cake and ice cream with them... But they went on ahead and let Taylor open her presents... and boy were there ALOT of them. That's what happens when your from a big family.

Doesn't my dad look like the bad guy in iron man!

I was pretending to sleep on her new sleeping bag and pillow... she's trying to wake me up.

Thank you so much to my family for her gifts. She plays with her new toys daily and the clothes are so cute. :) We appreciate it.

And now, for her other "party." She told me she wanted Mickey Mouse! So I made her a Mickey Mouse cake, and toodles too! Savannah and Katie decorated for me! It looked awesome girls. We had a Mickey Mouse pinata. Instead of party hats, there were Mouse ears! That was one of my favorite parts. I think it was a great party. She got some way fun gifts from that side of the family too! Thanks everyone for her gifts. She loves to play with them all! I keep wanting to go through her toys and get rid of some stuff, but she's so good about playing with everything... I can't! Anyways... here's those pics too.

I have NO idea what she's doing here, but it's funny!

So that was Taylor's birthdays. I can't believe she's two... Coming next - Taylor now!

Be on the lookout

Florida... Finally

Okay, I'm warning you, there are a TON of pictures. Enjoy.
Taylor's all set and ready to head out!

These two pictures were honestly taken about 30 seconds apart.

Taylor saying CHEESE.

She had made herself a little tent!

What happens when we stay up way to late in a way to tiny car.

What time we arrived in Florida... AM

The ocean!

Nice leg Chris!!! Anyone notice that Maddie is EATING the sand?

Maddie chillin, trying to stay out of direct sunlight. I love that leg up in the air.

Daddy buried taylor

one of my favorite pictures from the whole trip

We were shopping at a few stores, and maddie was peaking at me through some shelves.

the bridge from Okaloosa Island to Destin

These doors cracked me up! I probably think they're alot funnier than they really are.

The fishing boats would come in and just start hacking up the fish right there on the sidewalk. It was NASTY.

She wouldn't smile, but she'd do this!

Chris likes this one of Maddie.

for those who love the office ~ this is the beach we were at before.

The only pic of all of us facing the same direction... chris wouldn't let me ask someone to take our pic... he thought they'd steal our camera.

I love this pic.

We were on the bridge from destin back to okaloosa island. I guess there's a bit of a sand bar out there. boats were just parking or docking or whatever and the people would get out and walk around the boats. It was weird looking.

on our way home we went to the Air Force museum.

our favorite plane there...


on our way back home, more tan and relaxed... actually burned and hurting... look at my neck... yes I was that red. I blistered up pretty bad. I'm STILL peeling.

Chris's new favorite drink... tastes a bit like dr pepper but not as sweet.

Okay... so on the way back home, taylor was coloring on her magnadoodle. She tells me and chris that she's drawing a bug... okay. Then she says she drawing a dog. Alright... We didn't pay much attention. Til I looked back and saw this... HOLY COW... she DREW a BUG and a DOG!!! my first thoughts were "GENIUS!" "She's gonna be an artist like her daddy and mamie and grandma!" She's funny about drawing. I don't think I've really seen anything quite like this since... But she does draw mickey mouse with one large circle for the head and two smaller once for the ears. It's cute. Oh, and she can write out a T. We've been working on her name.

more on taylor and maddie later. I"m going to do a birthday update for taylor (atlast) and a 9 month update for maddie soon. There will be LOTS more pics. Gotta love it. Anyways... We all LOVE florida and can't wait to go back. I would like to before the end of the year, but with us trying to get a house, it may not work. Depends on if I can get a day job too. We'll see. :) We will definately be going back at some point to Fort Walton Beach. It was AWESOME. the perfect anniversary gift to ourselves.
