LEARNING TO TALK

SKYLER LOVES MICKEY MOUSE CLUB HOUSE. HE COULD WATCH IT ALL DAY IF WE LET HIM.

TAYGEN FINALLY FITS IN THIS ADORABLE OUTFIT!

MAX HATES THAT I TAKE FAMILY PICTURES EVERY SUNDAY BUT IT IS THE ONE DAY WE ALL ARE DRESSED UP.

I CANT BELIEVE TAYGEN IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND sKYLER WILL BE 2 IN FEB.

MY CHUNCKERS
BEING PARENTS WE MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT SKYLER IS SAYING!

I LOVE HOW HE SAYS SKYLER!

TAYGENS BABY BLESSING, FAMILY, AND MARINE CORPS BALL

Taygen got blessed by Max on Nov 6th. He did such an amazing job. Taygen woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. I had a feeling she would cry through the whole blessing...she did but it was still a great day. Girls are such drama.

She wasn't up for getting pictures that morning either so we only were able to get a few.

3 people were taking pictures at the same time.

Skyler's new thing is putting on everyones shoes. He loves it and thinks he is so funny.

Grandma Cheryl. Her and my dad were so good to watch the kids so I could get a few things done. I miss them already and they haven't even been gone 24 hours.

Taygen has been smiling a lot when we talk to her. I love this stage when they start to interact a little more.

Skyler thinks he needs to be in the swing when Taygen isn't. I am waiting for the day it breaks. He loves playing in this cute tent he got.

They both love watching mickey mouse clubhouse. Its the only time Taygen will let us put her down.

Taygen has already mastered the Duck/kissy face picture. In 16 years this will probably be the only way she takes pictures like most girls that age.

love that smile!

Saying good bye to GRANDPA MOO. My dad was so cute with him and they played outside all day long. As soon as Sky got up in the morning he would walk up to the door and say "SIDE" My dad had a hard time say no to that and "DRINK" and "TREAT" Of course Skyler would always say "PLEASE" and "THANK YOU" to butter him up.

I wish I lived in the same town as my parents. It would be nice to see them more.

Bunk has to get in on the fun my dad and sky were having in the tent.

This is a cute picture of these 2.

Taygen is chunken out and catching up to those chubby cheeks!

He wants to be like daddy.

Its crazy how dogs can sense they need to be gentle around a baby.

Skyler saying bye to "GRAMPS" AND "YAYA" (LOLA)

Such a cute picture with uncle wally

Its always nice to spend time with family. I was so glad the Hammond's stayed more then the usual 2 nights with us. It didn't feel so rushed and they could do most of the things they like to do down here.

236th birthday of the marines! My parents watched the kids so we could have a night out.

Our good friends Joseph and Kelly Crews

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! SKYLER WAS NOT IN THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT. OUR LITTLE MONKEY ONLY WENT TO 4 HOUSES. WHEN PEOPLE WOULD OPEN THEIR DOORS HE WOULD RUN INTO THEIR HOUSE. HE WAS PRETTY FUNNY. HE TRIED TO SAY TRICK-OR-TREAT BUT ITS MORE LIKE "TRE TREAT". ALL DAY LONG HE HAS BEEN SAYING"TREAT" AND THEN "PLEASSE" I HAVE A FEELING HE IS GOING TO HAVE A BELLY ACHE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

MY PARENTS CAME DOWN A WEEK EARLY FOR TAYGEN'S BLESSING ON SUNDAY. I CANT WAIT FOR A CLEAN HOUSE AND ALL MY YARD WORK TO BE DONE. MY PARENTS ARE HARD WORKERS WHEN THEY COME DOWN. I LOVE IT BUT FEEL SO GUILTY.

WE LEAVE BUNK ALONE OUTSIDE FOR 1 HOUR AND COME HOME TO THIS. HE WAS CHEWING ON SKYLER'S LAWN MOWER AND GOT HIS HEAD STUCK. DUMB DOG, I SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT ON HIM ALL NIGHT.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF TAYGEN!

OUR WARD TRUNK-OR-TREAT. WE ATE DINNER AND SKYLER KEPT SAYING "GO" BYE-BYE" SO WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO DO THE TRUNK -OR- TREAT.

I LOVE THIS "FAT KID" PICTURE OF TAYGEN. HER CHEEKS ARE HUGE

MAX DOESN'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT BUT I GOT A PACKAGE IN THE MAIL AND WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT IT BUT TAYGEN CANT FIT IN IT YET. I COULDN'T RESIST AND WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON. I THINK HE LOOKS CUTE.

HAPPY SKYLER

MAD SKYLER

RELAXING ON BUNK WHILE HE WATCHES CARTOONS.
