Messy fun with Grandma.

Just getting started.




Messy hands.




Now it's on the table.



Reading a book with Grandma after the fun. Not as messy.

A day at the beach

Here are some pictures from a vacation Brandi and Tay took with Brandi's friend Lorrell in August:

Mama's sandy shoes.

New friends at the beach.

Messy hot dog girl

This is a picture from this last July at my (Sam's) birthday party. It's a little late to be posting this in December but we don't have too many recent pictures and we've skipped so much time between posts it seems ok to display now.

Also, I (Sam again) will be attempting to take over as the main blog poster, as Brandi doesn't have the time, so I can do whatever I want and I say July pictures in December are fine.

playtime

After the park at home she wanted to try on all of her shoes, the boots and phonejust cute. She wore them for quite a while. I love the ranch goatee, she LOVES ranch! So a lot of pictures I know and there's more to come, but I need to shower while she's sleeping!

I love the picture of her with her face mashed in the bubble on the play structure, it's just funny!

Wow, it's been a while. We have done so much and been so busy. School is done for a week! On Monday I start the Dental Program, I'm quite anxious about leaving Tayanna on Tuesdays I know she will be with people that love her so that makes it a little easier, but it will be the longest amount of time we have been apart and she's still nursing! Now on to the fun stuff! These are some pictures of Tay playing inside and outside at our house. Also a few pictures from the park when we went with our Moms group. She's getting so big. Also a pick form our toddler gym class she loves the dolls and doesn't want to leave them when it's time to go.

New outside Toy

On Tuesday Tay and I went to Portland to visit my friend Jenn and her Daughter Esmerelda who is just a little older than Tayanna. After having a great time visiting and playing Jenn took me too this great resale place where I scored on a outdoor toy For Tayanna, and She loves it!! We set it up inside first then when it got sunny we took it outside. She also loved walking around in the grass with her bare feet. I love that she's not going to be all tender footed, we can be barefoot together! Here are some pictures of her toy and her enjoying time outside. Also there is a picture of her at my friend Lorrell's 30th birthday she is wearing all her lei's and jumping which is one her favorite things to do.

Easter

We had a very nice Easter Tayanna was beautiful in her dress that my Mom picked out for her. She loved to hide her toys under the full skirt, it was very cute. She also loved all the candy that Grandma was feeding her. She didn't really enjoy dying eggs because she just wanted to drink the dye and I was the mean Mommy telling her no!

Tayanna is growing and learning like crazy, she is walking backwards and also spinning in circles. Within the last two days she has started to try to jump, really it's more like a bounce but we say jump jump and she laughs and keeps trying. We have also figured out she is a screamer and it's very loud and high pitched she loves to scream when she's happy and when she's mad. Another thing she does if something doesn't work just right or something doesn't go her way she growls, it's funny she gets that from me for sure.

She's one!

All right our girl is one and I'm finally getting a blog started so that you all can view the changes going on in our lives. So her are some pictures from her birthday and other stuff!
