First we have the zoo... Taylor enjoyed her first trip to the zoo... twice. I know we are bad for not taking her before now but what can I say... I've been pregnant. She seemed to have a good time and still talks about the animals. Her favorite part though was the carousel with daddy.
Afternoons at CiCi's house - Since I was pregnant and basically immobile, I spent every Friday at my mom's house. That didn't change much when I had Kendall. We'd pack the bags and car and head to Gilbert. Of COurse we slowed our trips down, the night we walked into CiCi's house and seeing it broken into. These pictures are of swim time with Caedyn and Eli.
We also have been to the park several times some with mommy and daddy and other times with CiCi, Melissa (Sasa), Caedyn and Eli ("Li"). These pictures are from the Springdale park and they have a spraypool during midday.
She spent many days at Nana's and Pa Allens but I don't have any pictures to post. She talks about the geese that go bye bye all the time and learned about planes. She also visited her grandpapa and grammy some. Here grandpapa is pulling her in his new wagon to feed the chickens.
She also took swimming lessons which she loved. She only got 6 lessons and they weren't really swimming lessons ( I have to say that for Adam... :-)) But she became familiar with the water. She learned to kick and splash, put her face in the water and throw herself into the pool (seriously). Really all she learned was a false sense of security of the pool. But she had a great time.
Lastly, she spent many days at home with Mommy and Kendall playing dress up and hanging out.
Lastly is a picture of Taylor's new 'night night' attire. One night she decided she wanted to sleep with her toy Elmo head (in her hand) and both baby dolls along with two blankets. This stuck and she still sleeps with a stuffed Elmo (we lost the Elmo head), blankets and one doll. She is definitely my child.

Tell Adam to do some research. Swim Lessons Company is top nation-wide and will tell you that you shouldn't TEACH young children to swim. They teach safety to the children in the terrible case that they were to fall in. That way they know to kick, find the side, and climb out. Unfortunatley we only had 4 lessons with a group of 6 children and a teacher who was not one I would reccommend to anyone. With more practice, Taylore would feel more comfortable in the water. There are so many 3 year olds who are terrified of water because many parents wait until that age to introduce them to formal lessons (safety or swim). You know I am like your husband and have to have my piece heard too! Sorry!
Sorry for the spelling errors
I love the picture of Taylor saying the blessing. And also the one of her wearing your shoes.
And she is most definitely your child--a telltale sign is the way she gathers all her favorite things around her to sleep. Your daddy and I so remember your doing the same thing, barely leaving yourself room in the bed to sleep.
