Taylor turns 4 years old

We can't believe it but our little baby just turned 4! She has grown up so much in the last year. She is our little sweet heart and we are so thankful to have her in our family. The morning of her birthday she got birthday pancakes in bed. She thought this was the best thing that could ever happen to her. It really made her feel special! Then she got to go to school were she got to wear the birthday crown. She also took the cupcakes she helped me make for all her friends. Then after school we met Nate at Red Robin for hamburgers and balloons for lunch. It was a full day of fun. The next day was her circus party. All her friends were there and we played pin the nose on the clown, the kids walked the tight rope and they jumped through the ring of fire. All the kids seemed to have a good time and Taylor had so much fun she cried as her friends had to leave. Hey, it was her party...so she can cry if she wants to right? The tears were only proof that she had a great birthday!

(Thanks to my sweet friends Jami, Laura and Kelly (not pictured), and of course Nate for all their help during the party, I couldn't have pulled it off with out you!)

Sister love

While a friend was visiting Denver for the first time we made a trip to Red Rocks. The girls had a blast hanging out on the floor of the visitor center. I normally wouldn't allow this behavior in public but we had had a long drive prior to stopping and they needed to release some energy. I decided to let kids be kids and enjoyed watching them have fun together. Thankfully we were pretty much the only patrons there at the time. Taylor and Kennedy are becoming almost inseparable these days. It is so fun to watch their relationship grow.
