Wow it has almost been a year since my last post......

I don't know if anyone reads this anymore since its been almost a year since I have updated this, but a totally awesome day with my kiddos deserves a post:)

Gage's Bday was on monday and Ellie's is on Friday so we decided to rent this Giant waterslide and do both parties on the same day!!  So James and I went and picked up this Gigantic slide that barely fit in the back of the mini van.  We got it home and lugged it into the back yard, I really got worried once we started rolling it out, I didn't think it was going to fit!! But once we started blowing it up we realized it was going to be okay:) Did I mention this thing was HUGE!! The kids were in heaven and loved every bit of it!

                                                Love Ellie's animated facial expressions!!!

                                                         Gage and all his friends!!

                                                                        Present time!!

                                  I think there were some feet in a few faces in this one, but no injuries!

                         Time for cake!!!  Yes I realize this is a little extreme but since I can do it, I did it:)

                                                                       Priceless!!

                            With a quick Change in colors and cake, it was on to the next party!!

                                                             Ellie and her friends!

 Ellie's Cute cake!! Luckily she wasn't to upset that hers was only a 2 tier and not 4 tiers like Gage's!!

                                                              Present time for Ellie!!!

So much fun!!! We had a great day, thanks to all of there friends that came and for the awesome strong neighbor for helping James Drag that thing back out of the yard because I was totally exhausted and no energy left to help:)

Dear Santa....

This is Marlie's letter to Santa that

she wrote in school today!!
(i hope you can read it)

She is so cute, but at what age do you tell your kids about

santa??? So many people have told me that she needs to know so

she doesn't get made fun of at school, but she is so into the magic

of christmas, I know it will break her heart when she learns about it!!!

I am for sure not telling her before this christmas, but should I tell her after??

So sad to break your childs heart!!!

Skating with the Stars....The Taylor Stars!!!!

The girls have been asking for the past couple of

years to go ice skating, but we always thought
Gage and Ellie were to little...but this year we

decided to take them! We went down to the outdoor rink at

Gallivan center, I love downtown this time of year!!!!

We had so much fun!!

I love this picture, right after we put there skates on

Ellie started to get really worried and wasn't sure what to expect!!

James pretty much just pushed Gage around the whole time,

He loved it and said WWwweeeee all the way around the rink!!!

Ellie decided she did like it at first she just kept
saying things like, "I think I better just watch" and "this is
not working for me, i think its time to leave" But after going
around a few times she started to have fun!!




These two were fearless...they got out there and just went for
it!! They loved it (even though they fell over and over) they just
got right back up and kept going!!!!

They ended up sitting at the end to just watch the girls!!!

It was such a fun night:)
