Look who's 7!

Happy Birthday Taelor. Tae turned 7 on Tuesday. I cant believe how big and grown up she is. She had a great day. They went on a field trip at school to the new library. Then they went to the park for lunch and to play. We took some treats over to her class as well. She got to open presents when Ty got home from work. We had family over later that night for cake and ice-cream. Taelor wanted to go out to eat for her birthday, so we told her she could pick anywhere she wanted to go. (I thought she would pick Mimi's or Red Robin or Chili's) She thought for a minute and said "Arby's"! We laughed and asked her if she was sure and she said she was. So off to Arby's we went. Funny girl.

Taelor got some great things for her birthday. 3D chalk, clothes, leapster and game, markers, crocs, nail polish and decals, lip gloss, a Hannah Montana hat, treats, money. Thanks for all the great gifts guys!
Taelor and I found a cute "groovy jeans" cake on the computer and that is what she wanted me to make her this year. It turned out pretty cute. Some day I will take some classes and really get into cake making. It is something I have been interested in for a long time.

Taelor is such a good girl. She has a very soft heart. She is a great helper to me and does so much with the other kids. She loves to play and carry Jace around. She is such a little mommy. Taelor is very artsy. She loves to draw, color, make things, paint, and stamp. Tae loves to play outside and cant wait for soccer to start again. (that's my girl!) We just love her so much! Even the attitude that comes with being in 1st grade! She is such a great girl. We love you Taelor!!

The "Whine" Flu

We have become victims of the dreaded "whine" flu. We have been sharing this throughout our house now for 3 weeks. Fever, chills, cough, runny nose, nausea, oh my! Taelor was the first to catch it. She also had the most severe case. She missed a whole week of school. Poor girl. Kinley caught it towards the end of Taelors run. She coughed more than anything. Then lucky me, I was next. Moms are not supposed to be sick. Tyler ended up having to come home early from work to help with the kids. Now if I ask for help, you know its bad. I only had it for 2 days. Ill take that over a week any day. Dennin kind of caught the tail end of it. Just a fever for a few days and a cough. Luckily Jace has been spared, Tyler as well. It was no fun. We missed out on some fun things I was going to blog as well. My Grandpa Reid turned 74 and the whole family meet at a park for dinner and to celebrate all that he and my grandma has done for our family. Taelor was the only one well so Tyler and her went. They had a great time. Hopefully we are done with this crap and can now enjoy the summer and have some fun!
