Mission Wed May 30

Mission: 6 days until your birthday! Family Dinner Night. There are 6 of us give us each a secret mission to complete before we go home. Taylors can be giving her Auntie kisses!! This was tricky. Taylors ended up being make dessert for dinner which you can see above she made brownies & licked the spoon...:)

The rest of the missions I wrote on index cards & put under the plates. I told everyone they could chose to sit wherever they wanted tonight & so people moved different seats. Then I told them to look under their plates to see a mission they had but they were not to tell anyone, Matt & Chuck decided to trade missions.

Jessica got this one, so anytime someone asked her a question she had to answer them with a question, it was pretty funny, Natalie was the 1st to figure out what Jess mission was.

Natalie & Matt both had the clean up dinner cards

see Nat cleaning up, Matt carried a few plates in then got a call from work, so Nat didnt get much help..

Chuck had to stand up every time someone said Taylors name, poor guy had a hard time eating he was constantly getting up & down, it was funny. Jeremy's mission was every time someone said the word golf he would say "Family Dinner night is fun".. Yep it was a pretty funny dinner , everyone was a good sport..

beautiful night out so we hung out in the back yard

showing Auntie Nat how to pick up sticks & where they go...:)

Field Day

Isnt she a cutie, beautiful blue eyes. Another cute little outfit, had a little trouble keeping our little pants up...

walked on the walkway this morning.

Then stopped by Uncle Ronnie & Aunt Barbs & mommy called & said they are having a little play at school do we want to come, so we had to hurry but we made it.

It was cute , the minitrista from Muncie put it on all about eating healthy, etc...

played outside while the kids were having field day

even ran the relay with mommy...

made some new friends

and got to slide down this GIGANTIC slide

mommy took, & said she was tired

so grandma took me

Taylor showing me her new double stroller, her baby sister can ride or lay in the back, she loves all the cup holders , so does her mommy :)

helping grandma with the rocks

The pink paint swatch is going to be the color of her room.

what a cutie, she was dirty & sticky, had dripped Popsicle all over her face & arms & dirt, she was having a good time.

our lunch yesterday,it was yummy, enchiladas in the crockpot

Mission Sunday May 27

Mission today: 9 days until your birthday!!! ( I guess its a countdown :) Post 9 of your favorite all time pictures. Its ok if Im in all 9 of them :) (that was from Natalie). I had to work with the photos that are on my computer & I can tell you there are WAY more than 9, I could have picked 9 just from the family photo shoot Natalie did last fall of us. I picked most of my pictures because they evoke (I think that is the word I want) a feeling or emotion in me. I love this one of Jess & her little family- because I know she loves being a mommy & wife

I picked this one because I loved having 2 daughters. We are each unique & diverse in our personalities & interests, but we still are family

One of my favorite photos of Chuck with Taylor. I love the sweet looks on both of their faces, I love how CRAZY Chuck is about our granddaughter & Im so thankful we share that same feeling about her..

I love this one of Nat & her little family, and how she is happy pursuing her passions

The girls have always been daddy's girls..I know how much both of the girls love & respect their dad.. Their faces are priceless

sweet......

I love to see Matt letting down his guard & embrassing being a daddy....

This was such a fun weekend to spend with mom siblings & mom , we hadnt all been together in over 10 years I think we figured up.

our bible study group , we have the best time with them whether studying or playing Warlords & scumbags

Kind of reminds me of the girls when they were little & we did the matching thing, here its the matching hair.

yes she is sent from above, what a blessing & miracle....

Love this photo of Chuck & I hands holding T on the day she was born..

Seeing Jess pregnant- being reminded of Gods amazing plan of families

me & the girls...

Rummage sale

Chuck helped me put the rummage out at 6 am, I should have opened at 6 or 7, Jess & T arrived about 715... Boy was it hot int he 90's today....

Lots of stuff

Taylor came prepared with her cool chair & cup with her name on it.

She even had a place to put her snack of grapes, we know its a cup holder but she thinks outside the box...She is so smart...

talking on the phone, she was a busy girl playing with the toys from the sale, rearranging price tags, I guess it wasnt so smart to have some things at her level..Love how she drags this phone around, she is used to the tiny cell phone. lots of things that T wont know in her life time one being a house phone attached to a wall...:)

she even made some new friends.. This little girl had on a cute little outfit T had when she was little.

decided to push the bear in the car, I told you she was a busy girl....

Even Bryce came to visit us for awhile , it was nice to have extra hands when it was time to pack up :)

Taylor pricing herself :) sorry no price high enough for our "priceless" little T

Now she is talking on gma cell phone, funny she would walk around jabbering & then she would pause like the other person was talking & then she would jabber some more, the phone wasnt on so she was talking to no one. Funny when she is talking to a real person she says nothing but when there is no one one the other end she jabbers up a storm. :)
