Happy Halloween

Taylor's first Halloween was a bit uneventful, but she at least got to dress up! She helped hand out some candy and saw some of the neighbor kids, but then it was fussy-time and she wanted out of her costume and into some comfy pjs. Before that though, grandma and grandpa got to stop by and say hi. Thank you to Aunt Ann and Uncle Joe for getting our little Pea this costume before she was born! It fit great!

Another fun weekend

Of course it was game day again Saturday. Taylor had a chance to try out yet another outfit. Here's a shot of her and Al hamming it up before the game.

Soon after we moved to our neighborhood, we were fortunate to meet David and Megan. They are from Dallas, UT alumn and live 3 blocks from us! They're adorable son, Evrett, is 16 months old and he and Taylor love watching the games together. He's teaching her everything he knows!

On Sunday, we celebrated my mom's birthday out in scenic Stillwater. It dawned on all of us that we're so used to my parents being around Taylor, that we neglect to actually capture any of the moments on camera. So here's a shot finally! Grandpa and Grandma hanging out with Taylor at Stone's.

Now time for the family photo op that we haven't had many of. Back drop is actually Wisconsin across the river. We chose not to walk on the path since it seemed to be under 4 feet of water!

Big Weekend

The weekend started out with Taylor's 2 month check up. It was a good appointment if you don't count the round of shots she was given. So begins our fun with vaccinations!

Then the weekend turned out to be a lot of fun when her Nana, Aunt DeeDee and cousin Deidric came up to visit from Kansas.

Game Day

September 1st, 2007 marked a historic moment for our family, it was Taylor Jean's first UT football game day. Fortunately for her she slept through the dismal 21-13 showing against Arkansas State (who???), but the ground work has been laid for her future as a Longhorn fan.

Game day decision. What shall a girl wear?? Thank you to our friends and family in Austin who made sure that she was all set for Saturday. We're amazed at how many different Longhorn infant outfits there are!

So you're saying I'm a Longhorn??
