Taizley's 2nd Birthday Party

Monkey See, Monkey Do....Our little Monkey turned 2!!
Taizley had a Curious George 2nd birthday party (she loves George)!  We decided to go to Rolling Hills Zoo and Museum in Salina to celebrate.  Grandma, Grandpa, Jason's family and Salmans family all joined us!  Then we went out for some yummy family style Italian!  It was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time!  Can't believe she is 2!!!!

Started out the day...driving cars!  Short sleeves in February - pretty nice! 

Feeding the animals 

Then sharing a snack - they did at least use hand sanitizer! 

Talia, Elle & Sophia 

Going straight for her cupcakes! 

Notice she tasted the cupcakes - then we had to blow the candles out :-) 

She blew them out all by herself!

Taizley Driving

Taizley was driving her car around on Sunday...waiting for us to leave for her birthday party in Salina!

Taizley's New Car

Taizley got a new car for her birthday - now she can keep up with her sisters. She can push the pedals, but is still learning how to steer the wheel - the bad part about the new car is that she does not want to ever get out!!

Taizley's 2nd Birthday

Taizley had a great birthday weekend!  Her day was filled with fun and family!  Then we celebrated the next day with family and friends!

 She woke up and had her sisters in her crib right away - here she is saying "I'm 2!" (Still working on the finger part - as of today, she can hold up her 2 fingers)

KSU had a basketball game, so we went to cheer them on! 

Mommy with her 2 year old baby! 

Taizley & Grandma 

She got the Happy Pumper gas station from Grandma (who she calls Papos) & Grandpa (who she calls Bapa)  

She got a new car from Daddy & Mommy so that she can drive along with her sisters! 

She loves it! 



Taizley's 1st Haircut

Taizley's hair still has not grown very much, but it was sticking straight out in the back!  After mommy trimmed it a few times, we decided to take her to the salon for a real trim.  She was so good, she didn't even move!  Now her hair is nice & smooth (and hopefully it will grow)  :-)



So Tired

After a morning of running errands and chasing Talia around - Taizley was worn out!  She was eating lunch and all of the sudden I turned around and she had fallen asleep in her highchair! 



Daddy Daughter Dance

Daddy took Tatum & Talia to the 1st annual Daddy Daughter Dance.....only sad part was they have to be 4 years old to attend.  This did not make Taizley happy :(  The other two had a blast dancing with Daddy, Grandpa & their friends!  They even got their first wrist corsages (from Daddy)!!

Taizley ran over to be in the picture and she was so mad!  That is so sad :( 

Tatum & Saylor 

Talia & Sophia



Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!  Both Tatum & Talia had fun class parties and then we celebrated at home with a romantic candle light dinner for 5 :-)  Daddy has alot of Valentine Dates!  Lucky guy!!



KC Trip

We took a little family vacation to Kansas City a few weeks ago.  What a fun time!

 Paradise Park had everything - including a grocery store!

Cooking Class 

Taizley loved the water room 

Bumper Cars 

Mini Bowling 

We met friends for swimming at the hotel! 

Talia & Taizley wore their goggles most of the weekend! 

Love this picture - before their morning swim....they are like perfect steps....with curly hair!

Missouri Game

We met Mark's college buddies & wives for the last MU vs KU game!  It was an awesome game - one of the best college games that we have been to!  Mizzou ended up beating them - it was a great weekend!



Indoor Sled

Mark's newest game in the house - indoor sled! Along with swings, slides, dancing, games of chasing, now this! So funny!

Preschool Circus

Talia's preschool had a circus - it was so cute!  They had plenty of treats, face painting, balloon animals, bounce house and several games!  Tatum got to take a break from kindergarten to join her sisters for the fun.

Circus Girl 

They stayed in the bounce house for over 30 minutes!

Bean bag toss with friends Kaci and Ashley 

 Taizley never left the duck pond after she figured out she won candy!



Matching

Tatum & Talia still love their American Girl dolls - they have so much fun dressing them up!  This was last week at bedtime - I thought they looked cute :-)



Winter Drive

This winter has been mild so the girls are out on their cars whenever they get a chance!  Taizley just loves it and wants to ride all the time.....I'm trying to keep her from learning how to drive.  As soon as she learns to push the pedal, she will never ride again - she'll be the driver!  I'm definately not ready for that!
