all a girl needs is...

a best friend-- partner in crime,


SHOES! (thanks mom);)


someone to take care of,

silly time,

olives, (this face totally reminds me of Mr. Burns, haha!) "excellent!"

and a cozy place to read a good book!


Elli is in love with "BUH-IES" right now-- just in time for Easter:)

Spingtime in Taylor




Can you believe that only last week I was laying in the sun watching my children play in short sleeves on a perfect 72 degree day?!

Can you also believe that it snowed yesterday and that perfect 72 has turned into a chilly high of 38?!
Well believe it, because that sums up springtime in Taylor! Oh, and don't forget the WIND.


Here is where I am wishing that I had an amazing camera... And I will... someday...

March.

So almost a month has passed by without me taking the time to preserve sweet memories. This in part is because I have really been trying to limit my time on-line, but I also think it is important to document little things from life, so I am going to try and keep up again. Here's a little of whats been going on!


My beautiful daffodils bloomed!

...only to be ravaged into pitiful stems by 60 MPH winds yesterday :(


Alex has been keeping busy with preparations for our garden. He has already starting getting 'wall-o-water' 's up with some squash, and we've planted 2 beds of potatoes, along with some spinach, leeks, green beans, Brussel sprouts, and radishes. yummy.


Nana (Alex's mom) came for a visit.


Grandma got Trinity her "VERY OWN SCRIPTURE BAG" to take to church. We had a fun time decorating it :)Her cute little flower girl. Complete with long eye lashes and freckles like one of her best buds, Aunt Kalli. I helped her write her name fancy on the other side.Trinity continues to love all things princessy and/or fancy.




We found her a beautiful Easter dress that she modeled for us, and wishes I would let her wear everyday.


Eliana continues never to leave a dull moment, climbing on top of the entertainment center, table, dressers and whatever else looks good and dangerous. I constantly hear Trin yell, "MOM ELLI'S IN TROUBLE." from the next room, or Elli's voice, "Down. Down." She also has learned how to take of most pieces of clothing. At least it's almost warm.
The picture of her sleeping is my favorite one. :)



Trin needed a fun day so I had a few mom friends and their kiddos over for a St. Patrick's Day lunch. We ate pot o' gold soup and green veggies, painted rainbows, frosted and then ate WAY to many cookies. It was an absolutely perfect day outside so we let the kids run wild while us moms relaxed(chased around children) while getting an early start on our summer tans.


And my beautiful tulips decided to brave the wind and start blooming yesterday.
