ANOTHER song!

Every morning while I'm getting ready for work Taya and I have the same routine and it starts with Britney Spears' new song "Gimme Me." We have Comcast On Demand, so we turn it on really loud and dance around my room singing to it.... haha. As soon as it's over, she starts asking for "another song" So, of course, I turn on another random song. Anything from 50 Cent to Carrie Underwood--huge variety going on. Anyway, for the hour or so that I'm getting ready for work, she dances around my room watching music videos singing and dancing and AS SOON AS they are over, she asks for "another song." It takes me a little bit longer to get ready doing it this way, but it's definitely a lot more entertaining. :-)

handsome couple :-)

I love this picture that was just sent to me of my brother and his beautiful wife, Erika. They were going to a "ball" for the Navy and I think they look like the perfect couple! I just wanted to share :)

I have been really busy with work and school lately, but I hope to become better about posting pictures and blogging within the next couple of weeks when things settle down a little bit..... in the meantime, I hope that everybody is doing well! Hugs!

Happy Face

Here is a picture of Taya with my mom and and dad at the airport in Chicago last month. I just love how happy she looks! Guess it must not have been *that* difficult for her to be away from her parents.... :-)

La la la la

So apparently Taya has a new "friend" named Lala that she pretends to talk to ALL the time on the phone. Finally, I asked my mom if she knew who Lala was (thinking it might be somebody from the church playgroup or something) but she said she had no idea. I guess Taya has made up a new friend! Whenever we ask where Lala is, she usually is at work or at home, so it's not a pretend friend she takes with her wherever she goes. Taya never ceases to entertain me...

Good morning!

This morning I was lying in bed with Taya when she turned, looked at me, moved my hair out of my face, and said "You're a princess, mommy!" It was the sweetest little thing I've ever heard. I said "Thank you, Taya!" and she said "You're welcome very much mommy!" haha she cracks me up.

I can't wait until it's Halloween and she can get all dressed up in her leopard costume. I think we're going to take her to The Group to go around to all of the offices and get candy, and then will take her around the block at home, depending on the weather. I just know she's going to LOVE pretending to be a kitty. Meow!

Mommy Kristi & Daddy Terry

Yep, apparently we have been renamed. We are now known as "Mommy Kristi" and "Daddy Terry" when we are in trouble with our little Taya.... I have no clue where she picked that up, but must say I think it's pretty funny! Also, she has started pretending... meaning she will call Terry "Taya" and want him to call her "daddy." It's so funny! Last night I overheard this conversation (T= Terry and t=taya)

t: Taya, what doing?
T: Nothing daddy, what are you doing?
t: Oh, nothing Taya
*pause*
t: Taya? I love you, Taya.

haha it was so funny! I love her creativity :)

The "Ebbies"

First of all, I am SOOOO happy to have my baby back in town. I know she had a blast, but it felt so weird to not have her home.

So while lil T was gone, she started crying and told my mom she wanted to do "the ebbies." My mom had no clue what she was talking about which frustrated Taya even more... Finally, my mom figured it out and asked her if she meant the ABC's to which Taya replied "Yes, the ebbies... E, B C, D.... " haha I thought it was so cute! She's so much fun :)

This morning we took her to the CSU homecoming parade and she was so happy she could hardly stand it. She had so much fun seeing all of the animals, the police officers, the bands, and best of all, they gave her candy for free! She was so cute because she would hold out her little hand and when they would give her some candy, she would immediately put it in my pocket. We have a whole bag full of candy by the time she was done. It was such a great day.

I'm definitely going to try harder to post more often, so please check back for more. I also am going to post some pics and vids from Taya's adventure to Chicago.

Hugs and love
