Gardening with Daddy

We have a garden in our back yard and can't wait for all the vegetables to come in!

It's fun to get our hands dirty...

But after about 5 minutes, I let Daddy finish and I hit the swing set. A kid has to be a kid, right?

The Luau for Grandmother's Birthday!

Aloha, everyone! We had SO much fun at Grandmother's surprise birthday luau this weekend!

Don't we look cool - C.O.L.L. is how I spell it out loud - in this pic?


And I had an excuse to play dress-up!! Yea!!



But Lukey didn't like it so much. He tried to tell us that his Daddy would be mad at us for these pictures when he gets back from Rome! He said to me -

• The hat? It's definitely not a baseball hat so why am I wearing it?
• The necklace? Um... they aren't Mardi Gras beads like I usually wear.
• The Hula skirt? Nope, I can't be wearing this. Take it off of me, please.
  

We got Grandmother a Hawaii cake! (Ok, it was actually a Lilo and Stitch cake but Sh-Sh talked the people at the cake store into leaving them off).

And don't we girls, look just like real Hula girls?

I'm going to think very hard about what we should do for Grandmother's birthday next year. Fiesta maybe? Disco? A princess party? The possibilities are endless!

We're taking suggestions for our band name!

Friends and Family, let us tell you - we LOVE to rock out!

We come by it honestly you know. Dad jams out regularly and our Mommy can sing!




And when Lukey's playing the saxophone, you should see his little foot tapin' the ground to the beat.


Here are the suggested band names ranked in order of votes to date -

1. "TYKES" Get it? Part of Taylor and part of Luke?
2. Princess TK and the Ball Boy
3. We like to swing!
4. Matt's Groupies
5. Mommy's Background Noise
6. Sh-Sh's Stars
7. The Cookies
8. Widespread Kid Panic

Happy Birthday to Daddy in Pictures!

Can you tell we love our Daddy and that Mommy and Momo had the same cool idea? :-)

Group Shot from Mother's Day!

Look at our beautiful family when we gathered at Dindad and Granny's for Mother's Day!

We'll post more pics from Daddy's birthday in the next couple of days! Please stay tuned!

Mother's Day in Talladega!

So we went to Talladega to be with the WHOLE family on Mother's Day! Dindad had surgery so we all gathered at his house and we had fun!!

Cousin Christy and Sh-Sh made me a flower necklace, and bracelet and crown! Aren't they pretty?

And here we are posing on the front steps. Lukey was "done" for the day by this point!

We'll post the big group picture... as soon as we take it off one of the cameras! :-)

Daddy's Birthday!

Hello family and friends! Did you think we'd forgotten about you? We're so sorry that we've been MIA and will make it a priority to do catch up postings in the next few weeks. Promise!

Our Daddy turned 35 on Saturday and while he keeps saying that he's old, we think he's young and spry! Here we are with Daddy when he saw one of his birthday presents, Mommy framed 2 of his old UNC posters!



And here we are before leaving for the pool. Did we mention that my baby brother, Lukey, learned to drive? Just kidding!


Do you like my floaty swimsuit? I can swim all by myself... with the assistance of 8 floatys around my waist! :-)

Happy Summer!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Luke!

Hey everybody, I had a Curious George 2nd Birthday Party with my family and it was so much fun! I even had a Curious George hat, see?



Here I am patiently waiting... for my 2nd serving of cake. I need 2 servings now that I'm 2 years old.

What presents did I get? So very glad that you asked!

My very first baseball glove!

A Soccer Goal - And I've already learned how to kick the soccer ball in the goal and then go around to the back side and kick it out! (I'm a quick learner and getting tangled in the net trying to reach the ball is no fun, specially on your birthday.)

And my very first Big Wheel! YEA!!

We went to the Atlanta Zoo for my birthday too and saw lots and lots of animals. I'll do another posting about that soon.

3, here I come!

TK's Turn

Lukey was right - I waited for everyone to leave the kitchen and I found all these pictures of ME!

Aren't my Ariel pajamas in the first picture pretty? There are matching pants too, friends!

I liked Luke's caption idea so let's do that again!

Um, Sh-Sh said I look like a hippie. What's a hippie?

Yes! I, in fact, am a real princess!


Please don't try to distract me with shoes and stuffed bears while I'm watching a dvd in the car.

I know I'm supposed to sit down to drive but what if I can drive like this?

Of course, I realize now that my Lamby's Ariel wig doesn't match my princess dress but a girl has to try things on and look in the mirror, right?

See ya later, guys!

It's LUKE Day!

Hello Family and Friends! I waited for Mommy, Daddy and TK to take a nap and I'm taking over the computer!

It's very odd that I could only find pictures of myself, right? And since I can only find those, allow me to caption each one!

"See ya, gotta go!"

"Please move TK, I'm comin through"


"Yes, Breakfast time does include a hat"

"Golf anyone?"

"Chuck.E.Cheese is fun for EVERYONE"

"I'm too cool for school, my future so's bright that I have to wear shades, there are many captions for this picture"

I'll bet TK sees this and does a posting about herself tomorrow....
