Halloween 2011

Me and the kids went up to Roy a few days before Halloween. There were so many activites to do. We went to a junior high parking lot in South Ogden and trunk or treated, then went to 2 old folks homes and got candy. By the time that was done the candy bags were full. On Halloween we went to Heathers street for the annual trunk or treat and chilli/sloppy joe dinner. It was nice weather so it was a lot of fun. We ate and then the kids got more candy. London loved it and got the concept of trick or treating. She would say "Trick or Treat" and then "Thank you". Teagan didnt fully grasp the concept. He wanted to take all the candy out of the peoples bowls. London always knew to only take one. For the family Halloween party we carved pumpkins and played games and ate a fabulous dinner. I love spending time with family. We always have so much fun!!

Grandmas bed...or should i say Grandmas jungle gym

The kids love to play on Grandma and Grandpa Taylors bed. Here are some silly pictures of them playing with their cousin Jayden.

Sing a song!!

London is our little singer. She LOVES to sing. I mean loves. She doesnt just sing once in a while. She sings about everything she is doing all day long. She will be playing with a toy and sing about that toy. She is so creative when it comes to making up songs. Whenever we drive in the car she asks me and daddy to sing with her. Some of her favorite songs to sing with us are:
Itsy Bitsy Spider
ABC's
Wheels on the Bus
Popcorn Popping
And Daddys song (Frara shaka)

Toy box

We were at Grandma and Granpa Taylors house for Halloween weekend and the kids decided they wanted to be a toy and sit in the toy box. So cute.

Fun saying...

I love the time when kids say the cutest things....

Teagan calls pumpkins "Gobbies". He LOVES pumpkins.

London was in her room sitting on her chair at her little table and Derek asked London what she was doing. She said "waiting for buddy" (Teagan had just gone down for a nap). She sat in her room and Derek fell asleep on the couch because he was tired from working overnights. He woke up an hour later and London was in her room playing with her play food. She loves her brother sooooo much. They are the best of friends.

CHEEZE!!!

Playing at Nana's

Teagan loves Jesse. He was laying with her on the fluffy pillow.

WHOA!! What is that? They were all so mesmerized on the show.

Daddy and the kids

London decided Daddy was a comfortable spot to lay and watch TV and of course Teagan couldnt be left out.

Watching West Wing on the computer with Daddy.

Getting ready for bed

At bedtime we watch a lullaby movie and read stories. Oh and of course have a glass full of chocolate milk.

Just chillin....

Wacky Weather

On my drive to work on day this is what i saw. It was beautiful. It is crazy how one day can be 80 degrees and then rain clouds the next on one side of the valley and sunny on the other side.

French nails

Me and Londo do our nails together. This time we decided to do french tips.

Movie time

I decided it would be fun to have a lazy movie afternoon. So one day after lunch when Derek was working I got a blanket and pillows and made a comfy spot on the floor in front of the TV. I put on the new Lion King and me and the kids layed there and watched it. It was so much fun. I will for sure do this more often.

Dereks new collection

Dereks new collection of Marvel figures. He will have a wall full by the time he is finished collecting.

Doggy!

Heather brought Deisel over one night that we were staying at moms house. At first the kids were nervous but they finally got used to him and LOVED him. London would chase him around the house. She just didnt like when he was licking her. Teagan would get down of Grandpas lap and look for Deisel but when he saw him he would fun and jump and Grandpas lap again. The lap was his safe zone.

Ummm I like her hair

This lady was sitting in front of me and Derek at Thriller (post to come later I am sure). I love the different colors of red and the different lengths. I wish I could get away with something this dramatic....

Almost Halloween

Daddy tried on all the fun masks on Teagan at Target. Teagan loved them. Only Derek would put these on a 2 year old little boy. Most people would put the cute little sweet characters on their kids..hahaha

STUCK

Teagan was playing in the craft room and decided to climb on the storage shelves. He realized he was stuck and started screaming. He is so silly :)

Having fun playing and goofing around...

They love playing trains in the playroom downstairs. They are actually pretty good about not destroying it. London is so small she will get in the little toy wheelbarrow and Teagan will pull her around the basement. They also love to play and snuggle with their big stuffed teddy bear.

Tonight a miracle happened in our house!! I took London to the potty and let her sit there for a little while after she drank her chocolate milk. She kept tooting and laughed becuase she thought it was SO FUNNY! Her laughing made me laugh. Then all of a sudden i heard a Plop! I jumped up and saw a little peice of poo in the toilet!!!! She did it!!!! She pooped in the potty. We yelled at daddy to come see and then called grandma to let her know! It was an exciting moment. London did her first poop in the potty on October 8th at 8:50pm.

Wow the things that make us happy and smile!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Today is my amazing sons 2nd birthday. In the past two years Teagan has blessed me in so many ways. He has always been a miracle to me. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I was on a roller coaster ride until the day he was born. From that day 2 years ago my life has greatly changed. He has made me appreciate life and the little things it has to offer. In the past year Teagan has started walking and starting saying a few words. He still struggles with language and communication but every day he gets a little better. He know says "Mommy", "Daddy", "Kankie" (for blankie), he attempts to say London, "Kink"(for drink). He is trying so hard and is doing a great job. He has had his struggles from being preemie but is excelling at a wonderful rate. Teagan I love you with all my heart and you are my main man! I love you for everything you are and everything that you will become.

September 17th 2011

Today we celebrated Teagans 2nd birthday. I cant beleive my little man is almost 2!!! He is getting so grown up and big. We had all of our family and a few friends at his party. It was a balloon theme so we blew up about 400 balloons with helium. We had about 50 punch bag balloons and 25 small beach balls. We covered the back yard with them and made a big balloon archway. We are so glad that we had good weather for the party because we held it in the backyard. We ate sandwhichs with some yummy salad that Derek and I made. For his birthday dessert we had ice cream with Chocolate covered oreos that I made. They were so good if I say so myself. He blew out his candle then I had to light it again and again so that London and Jayden could blow it out. Teagan got some amazing presents. He got a train table, a car ramp, tons of cars, clothes, HUGE Mickey Mouse, Mr. Potatoe Head, Dinosaurs (which I think was his favorite), a wiggle car (probably will be stolen by London). He was spoiled rotten like always. I love you son!! As long as the sun shines and the moon rises.

Friday September 23rd 2011

Derek had the day off today so we woke up and ran some errands (typically stuff). Then after the kids woke up from their naps we took them to the Circus. I won 4 tickets (they were the nose bleed seats). We thought we would try it out because they were free, then if the kids did not like it we could leave and it wouldnt be a big deal. They loved everything but the set up in between acts when the clowns did really stupid things. They were a little board when they did that. London loved the elephants and tigers so much she made up a song and sings it all the time. She also asks all the time if we are going to the circus again. Guess we will be going next year.

Today was Papa Pete's birthday so we all met at Robintinos for dinner with the Grunander Family. It was good food and a fun little party.

Oh Derek

Derek playing around with the baby stuff we were selling at the yard sale:

Oh My Adorable!

Derek was shopping with the kids when he turned around and saw this.....

They were holding hands! Its a miracle!! Whenever we ask them to hold hands Teagan throws a fit because he doesnt want to be caught dead holding his sisters hand in public. This time he did it without being asked. They really are the best of friends.

FOOTBALL!

We were hanging out at Dereks parents house while they were cleaning out some old boxes. Brent came across one that had an old inflatable football helmet from high school so of course Derek put it on Teagan:

Our little football star!

Fun at the yard sale 2011

Me, Heather and mom held a yard sale at moms house in September of this year. We had tons of stuff and had a really fun time. Below are some pictures of Derek keeping the kids entertained inside the house:

London 9/22/2011

London is in the stages that she says the funnest and cutest things all the time. Me and Derek just laugh so hard because she is the CUTEST thing on earth. Here are some examples:

Derek was driving the kids around and Teagan started to fall asleep so Derek kept saying "Teagan" to try and wake him up. Next thing he knows London says "what about me dad?" She wanted him to say her name to. SO STINKIN CUTE!

We were driving home from a trip to Target and we realized that Teagan had pooped so we were arguing who was going to change him. I kept saying "daddy he is your son so your gonna change him" and Derek said "he is your son" next thing we konw London said "He is my son!" it was so cute. I told her she could change him but she decided not to.
