Here Dad....

My dad checks this site everyday to see if there are any new pictures....and as you all know I am pathetic at blogging regularly so there never are...but here are some we took just recently while my mom has been here visiting.... We tried to get a good family shot at the park and Taylor was not too keen on the idea...
This one was one of our better besides my eyes look weird and it's pretty fuzzy b/c our camera isn't the greatest. Oh and Tom thinks he looks pretty weird too.
Maddie was barking at us while we were taking our family pics b/c I'm sure she was feeling left out. We were going to try to take a couple with her but Taylor was to fussy so we didn't ever bother. This was right after we took her to the dog park...
These pics are out of order...sorry. This is Taylor taking a snooze yesterday on our way to the airport to drop off my mom.

Taylor was caught redhanded going through everything in my purse...Actually, Tom was sitting on the couch watching her the whole time but was too tired to do anything about it b/c it was at the crack of dawn one morning last week...
Taylor and Tom at the dog park...
us again trying to get our picture...
Ahhh...one happy little family (Taylor just happens to be screaming her head off at the moment) :-)

Our water drinking, little trendsetter. You just wait and you'll be seeing all the celebrities wearing dog collars for belts!
And if we every lose her our cell phone numbers are conveniently listed on the tag! It was so funny b/c she would try to put it around her waist and we finally put in on for her and she wanted to wear it for hours!
I don't know if this trend will ever take off though...a bowl for a hat? good try Taylor!
So, we've really enjoyed having my mom here for a few days and our next adventure is leaving on Friday for Dallas. We're driving there for Tom's 12 day training. We are all staying with my friends on Saturday and then Tom's training starts Sunday evening. Taylor and I aren't sure what we'll do quite yet while he's at it but eventually we'll head up to Little Rock to stay with my parents. Then when Tom's training is over he'll drive up there and we'll all spend a few days before heading back here. Whew! We'll be gone for almost 3 weeks! Our fourth anniversary is on Thursday....I love our anniversaries. Unfortunately though Tom has a meeting Thursday evening so we'll probably go out to lunch or something and then celebrate it more officially while we're in Arkansas so we can leave Taylor with the grandparents and spend the night in Hot Springs or something. Well, other than that we've just been trying to get our new home organized, keeping up with Taylor (did I ever say that she walks now?) And she's fast! (see video below. hopefully it'll work and it is a little boring but my dad will appreciate it.) She's been at it for about 4 weeks now. It's pretty darn cute but she's into everything!!! I hope you're doing well and I'll try to be a little better at this blog but I won't promise anything while we're traveling! Have a great day!!!

Pretty cool. I didn't realize Taylor can walk already. Time seems to go by fast. We'll be heading out to California in the end of October, so hopefully we'll still get to see you guys sometimes. If ever you want to go to Disneyland or something, feel free to crash our house.

So good to see a post and know you guys are doing well!

Taylor is just so grown up - wasn't it just the other day that she was just a few days old???

I am so glad to catch a quick update on your blog. I check everyday hoping for new news from ya.

Tell Tom and Taylor hi!

Oh-did you start watching the bachelor last night??? It looks like it is going to be a great season full of cattiness and drama. :)

I also check your blog daily and was glad to get an update. You guys are so cute together. We definetly know what it like when one member of the family doesn't want any thing to do with the family pictures. We didn't think we would get one picture of Keeton smiling last time. Can't wait to see you!!!

Yeah! You blogged again. Family pictures are always crazy w/the little ones. THe ones I look best in are the ones where Kaitlin is screaming and Brandon is doing his fake smile. It's rare we get a good one.

It was so wonderful to see all the pictures, read what you wrote, and watch the video! Taylor sure looks older and so cute. Hope you have a great time in Texas and at your parents home. We can't wait to come and see you at the end of the month. Call us! Love, mom
