A fun few days!

Sunday we went to Chad and Karena's house to celebrate my brother Chad's birthday! We had a yummy pork dinner and then cake & ice cream!
The big kids were outside...I think Holly and Taylor wanted to go out too :)

Today, Taylor and I went for a walk around the Tumwater Falls...it was sunny but cold, so we bundled up. Taylor thought the Falls were really cool!

Taylor and I are really looking forward to tomorrow...Matt's coming home! He's been in Palm Springs, California playing golf, eating expensive dinners and enjoying the sunny, summer-like weather all in the name of work! He left really early Saturday morning, so we've been on our own for the past 4 days. Of course during that time Taylor had a fever on and off, with a high of 103.5 (we thought she had croup at first cuz she was coughing like a little seal at night). She's been extra tired, very needy and wanting to be held constantly. I thoroughly enjoyed her dependence on me, her falling asleep on me and wanting to snuggle a lot while she wasn't feeling well, especially since I was missing Matt :) Today was the first day that she was totally back to her normal self...her little face finally had some color back!

On a totally random side note, can I just say how much I love listening to 92.5?! Today I heard Paperboy "Ditty," Monika "Best Friend" and Keith Sweat "Twisted" all in the course of a half hour! Man, that station takes me back!!
******
I'm going to ice my lower back...it's killing me right now. Don't know what I did to it, but it's a good thing I work for a fabulous Chiropractor ;)
G'night!

Taylor looks so cute all bundled up for your walk, that place looks really pretty too! Both my kiddos have the same fever and yucky cough, and I too am enjoying the extra cuddling going on. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Jake had that awful sickness (that's why he couldn't go to the shower). I am glad she is feeling better.

And, Jayson and I LOVE 92.5 too! We were commenting on getting old now that we switched from the "popular" radio station to find one with "our" music!

She is so dang cute. I think she is the perfect mixture between you and Matt, but I see her more in you! Looks like you guys had fun that day! Give Jackson and Avery a kiss for me tomorrow!
