Tally Girl!



Taliyah is starting to crawl! She is getting big so fast! We just love this little girl so much! Sorry you have to turn your head to watch!

We had a blast at Disney. I've posted pictures on FB and I'll get around to doing a post on her sometime when things slow down alittle!

Fall is here...well sort of!


Our little fairy princess

My cute little pumpkin!!

She actually let them paint her face, she never has before!


Fall is my favorite season. I love the crispness in the air. Cool evenings. Sweaters and jeans. The leaves changing colors. Halloween. I love the smell in the air. Pumpkin patches and hayrides. Unfortunately you miss out of most of those things living in Florida. We have had a few cooler nights, we even got to turn off the AC for a whole day and open the windows! But some Fall fun has already started. We went to the unspooky Halloween party today at the library. Jayla was a fairy and Taliyah wore a pumpkin hat a shirt. Jayla had so much fun wearing makeup and acting all girly. Taliyah was just happy that someone gave her a prize to chew on!

Taliyah is getting big fast! She is rolling all around on the ground. I put her down and before a know it she across the room. She'll be crawling in no time. After I was out for the whole weekend with a breast infection (OUCH!!) I've been really pushing her to take a bottle and I think she finally is getting used to it. That means that Jordan and I need to go on a much needed date...if only we had some babysitters?!

I'm getting ready to head down to Orlando for the next week. My parents are coming in town and we are going to Disney. I'm excited for them to get to see the kids, especially my dad. He hasn't seen Tally yet and it's been 1 1/2 years since he's seen Jayla. So expect some pictures of our adventure next!

Birthday Girl

Jayla turned 3 yesterday! I can't believe my little girl is 3 already. When we moved the Florida she was just 3 months old and we said she will be 3 years old when we move, it seemed so far away! And now she's 3...looks like graduating is coming up next!

For those of you who don't get to see my little curly haired tornado on a daily basis I'll let you know what she's like. First thing is the morning Jayla demands chocolate milk and cartoons. But that's about all she eats. This child does not eat or sleep...or STOP!! She's go go go. She loves story time, play grounds and running out the front door every chance she gets (and that did happen when dad was supposed to watching her and he "closed his eyes for just a minute!") She is very good with her little sister, adores little Jordan and cries for Daddy to come home all day long. She's such a girly girl and loves to dress up in her princess dresses with high heels but every night we have to frog hunting. She's so sweet and some times comes up and hugs me and tells me that she loves me, but she also has little horns that hold up that halo. She is the most stubborn, strong willed child I have ever met, but when it comes down to it we know that she loves us and she knows that we love her so so much!

This year Jayla had a Mickey/Minnie Mouse birthday party. I made a mickey cake, mickey cheese and crackers, mickey suckers, and mickey or minnie ears for all of her guests. I had some games planned to play outside but they wanted to play on the play ground. It was so cute to see her smiling and chasing around all of her friends. The we had a scavenger hunt to find the suckers, played pin the bow of Minnie and had cake! I wish we had a bigger place. We ended up having 28 people in our little apartment so we didn't have much space to move around. But Jayla had a great time. It was so nice of all of our friends to come and they gave Jayla such nice presents. She loved them all! When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday she told us a piggy band and a sword. I'm not sure where she came up with those but when she saw the wrapped presents she asked us which one was her piggy bank...good thing I got her one or I would have felt really bad!

Happy Birthday to our AMAZING little girl...We Love You!!
