Taysum has always loved birthdays; especially his! He just thinks they are great and he can't wait until the next party! His preschool makes sure that everyone gets a special day and since his actual birthday is a week after school is over, his special day was on the 4th.Something else Taysum has always loved is Thomas the Train. He'll get interested in something else for a little while, but he always comes back to Thomas! For his un-birthday treat at school, I "borrowed" an idea my sister had done for her son a few years ago and made little train cakes.
Bailey was pretty sad to see the train cakes go to school without her, so we made her own when we got back home.
The next day, Cinco de Mayo, is our niece, Carissa's birthday. This is what we woke up to that morning!!
We had a fun time at her Barbie/Princess party. Happy 4th birthday, Carissa!! We sure love you!

CJ and Quinn were making sure everyone knew whose birthday it was during the song.
CJ had some fun party games planned including dancing. Taysum had a blast with this and he even had some dance instruction from Uncle Kevin!!
In the middle of church, Bailey shouts out: I hope Jesus coming!! 1/2/11
Taysum got a card from his Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Floy, with a picture of her on it in the mail yesterday. Today he was tacking it to his bulletin board in his room and I heard him say, "I hope my teacher love me!" It was SO sweet! 8/13/10
At the pool, I asked Baiely if she wanted to wear her flip flops in the pool and she said, "No, I wear my feet." 7/10
Ken watched as Bailey tried to put up two fingers. He said, "Are you two?" and she said, "No...Peace!! Grandpa say Peace!" 7/10
We have some silk sunflowers in a basket as a centerpiece on our table. Along with the sunflowers there are some cat tails. The other night, Taysum informed us they are not cat tails, they are hot dog flowers! 6/10
I love the way Taysum's mind works...when I can figure it out! Tonight I made him a grilled cheese sandwhich for dinner; I told him it was hot and to wait for it to cool. He got up from the table and went to a fan we had going. He stood in front of it and opened his mouth wide and breathed in. He came back to the table, sat down and "blew the air" on to his sandwich!! He repeated this several times! I guess he thought the air from the fan would be cooler! Good thinking, T!! 6/9/10
I turned on some music and Bailey said, "Let's rock it, Mommy!! Rock and Roll!" 5/10
After a toot, which he politely excused himself for, Taysum said, "I have a Stinky Pete." (Toy Story II) 4/23/10
"This is the BEST dinner ever!!" Dinner was: chicken nuggets, french fries and pineapple. 9/09
We hung a picture of the Billings Temple in our living room. The next morning when T woke up and saw it he said, "It's the temple! I can't believe my eyes!" 9/09
Mom: Taysum, is Daddy silly? Taysum: No...Daddy's crazy!! 9/09
Some of Bailey's latest fun phrases: "Come on, Daddy (Mommy, Taysum)! Follow me!" "Help! Ayudame!" "Where's Taysum? Hmmm...you see him?" At stop lights and stop signs, "Ready, set....GO!"
"Stubby cake" How Taysum says stomachache. 7/13/09
This little conversation happened the other day while I was doing nothing in particular. Taysum, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Me, "I hope not!" 5/4/09
I always love seeing pictures of your kids and their cousins! They're adorable. What a cute train cake idea. Happy birthday to Taysum!;)
