Camping trip!

So I'm a little late getting these posted but we went camping this weekend with our family and a lot of our friends. We went to Newton Dam and stayed Friday til Sunday. We did a little fishing, swimming, 4-wheeling, some of us went out on a friends boat, we played in the sand-and dirt and even flew a kite for a while. It was so much fun. We had our dog, Dazey and Troy had his dogs too, they were totally loving the water. Dazey won't fetch, but she kept pacing the shore and when waves would come in she'd bite at them, it was so funny!

We played in the water a little, all it took was a little stumble and getting their faces wet and both the girls were DONE!! Here they are drying on the beach after their stumbles.

Davin eating dirt! What a bad boy, huh! :)

Poor Brookyln. She is so good at naptime and bedtime, we just put her in bed and she goes right to sleep. She just didn't know what to do to get herself to sleep, this was the only other way she would go to sleep.

I've posted more pictures from our camping trip on the Taylor Family website @ http://www.kstaylorfamily.blogspot.com/

So Kenzie will be going to preschool this fall and I've been trying to get her to spell and write her name, last night we finally mastered her spelling it aloud!

She got a jump rope for her birthday and she loves it but isn't so good at it yet so the other day Chad was helping her learn to jump over it.

Also that night Brooklyn finally figured out how to get her feet turned so she can go down the slide all by herself. Before, she could get to the top of the ladder and since she won't talk much yet she'd sit and go Uh! Uh! Uh! until you came and set her on the slide so she could go down. Here's she is so proud of herself!

Boy Oh Boy! Are we in trouble. Brooklyn has developed this bad stubborn streak, it's unbelieveable! Last night she was refusing to eat dinner and kept throwing her head back. Look at the face she was pulling when I tried to give her a bite! I can't believe it caught it on camera!

Don't worry - after a few minutes she finally gave up and ate.

I didn't intend for this to be so long, hope I kept your attention all the way to the end!

Happy Anniversary!

Today we celebrate 8 years of marriage, 10 years together. It's gone by so fast and we've been blessed in so many ways.

Born on the 4th of July

It's been a while since I've posted, here's what we've been up to lately. Since last weekend was the 4th we went to some fireworks at my Mom and Dads on Thursday. Its pretty neat since they live just down the street from the stadium we can just watch them from their house. Friday is my Mom's birthday so we went to lunch to celebrate. (Lucky to be born on the 4th huh! Her Dad was also born on the 4th and that's actually the day McKenzie was due - wouldn't that have been crazy?) That night we went to Donald and Judy's in Idaho. They live out in the middle of nowhere and have a pretty neat fireworks show every year, Thanks for having us guys! Saturday was the car show and I actually talked Chad into going with me, usually he refuses since he's not a big fan after working there every year but I love going and seeing all the old cars. After the show at the fairgrounds we watched them cruise on main for a while then headed home. Sunday and most of this week we've just been hanging out at home trying to stay cool until we can get our air conditioning put in. Our favorite things are otter pops and ice cream! Brooklyn isn't sure about ice cream cones yet, she mostly digs the ice cream out with her fingers then smashes the cone, it's pretty messy but entertaining!
