Halloweenn {2015}

My little heroes were so cute tonight!  We had a great time with friends as always.  When we got home, the kids found cards in the mail from Nena...oh my gosh, how fun!

Pumpkins {2015}

We have our annual Halloween Bash at the Maclaskey's tomorrow.  SO tonight we decided we had better get our pumpkins carved.  Gavin requested a spider and Logan requested a transformer.  Any surprises there?  Sis was not pleased that she didn't get to help.  Of course by the time the kids asked to do this it was close to 8PM and we were really just trying to expedite the process!  Daddy did a great job as always.  I am so glad I have such a an artsy, talented husband.

My Cup Runneth Over...

What a weekend...I was home with the kiddos this weekend while Daddy worked.  Today everyone skipped naptime.  As a result by 7:45 they were all sacked out on the living room floor.  As crazy and chaotic as this time is, I am reminding  myself to slow down and enjoy it.  My cup runneth over...

Aunt Kate is Engaged!

My baby sister is getting married!  I got to do their engagement photo session today...so fun!  She and Tyler are such a cute couple.  My kids adore them both.  Can't wait to see how pretty their babies will be. ;)

Happy 50th Papa!

Tonight we threw my dad a surprise 50th birthday party.  While I have never thrown a surprise party before and this one was thrown together last minute, I think it turned out well.  Of course I forgot to take any pics during the party as I was busy hostessing away.  While my dad and I haven't always seen eye to eye, age is changing us both for the better.  He is now more patient, kind-hearted and loving than he has ever been.  Happy 50th Papa from the Taylor crew!

Walter's Pumpkin Patch {2014}

We had quite the crew at the pumpkin patch today.

 

 Baby Finn came along.

 Papa, Lisa & Allysa joined in the fun.

Abby, Payton & Grayson met us there along with Trace, Lisa & Robin.

 We brought our cousins of course.

 And Linda was extra pair of hands to help hold.

 The boys were brave enough to do the hill slide on their own this year.

 This is a troublesome trio!

 But as always, the tractor ride to the pumpkin field was the favorite part.

 The kids each picked out a pumpkin, except Kate because she had fallen asleep.

So Grayson picked one out for her.  :) 

 

 This is the best we could do by the mark your growth pumpkin this year.  In true Gavin form, he was not about to stand still.

 I love this girlie so much and love that she adores my kids just a bit too.

Oh the pics we get of this crew..

 And trying to snap a pic of just mine was just as comical...

We never tire of this special place.  If we could afford to, we would go everyday while they are open.  Lisa was working their this year and got us comp admission tickets.  SCORE!  So we could afford to pay the way for some others that may have not otherwise been able to come.  The pumpkin patch was the perfect ending to this fun filled weekend.  We have the best family and friends anyone could ask for.
