Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The kids are so excited about any holiday, especially if they have a party at school.  They woke up ready to get dressed in their green so they wouldn't get pinched.

Claire and I were party moms in Ella and Haley's class today so I made rainbow fruit and took rainbow colored goldfish and green juice.

What A Weekend!

We moved this weekend!!!

 

It started on Thursday night when Mr. Randy came and helped us move the piano.

 We had a mess trying to pack!

Some of the boxes packed... 

...with my color coded labels that everyone was picking on me about :) 

One last picture of Ella's name on the wall before we had to peel it off :( 

 

Joey came on Friday morning and helped us load the boxes we had packed

We were cleaning out Corey's shop on Friday night and Caleb walks up to Corey and says "Daddy, I want to take my training wheels off my bike".  So he did... 

...and off he went!  He did so good! 

Saturday morning we had a crew helping us - we had all the furniture moved out of the house by 9:30 that morning.  And then they tacked the play set... 

Josh got out the washer and dryer... 

 This took a whole crew - it was so heavy!

Our crew was Corey, Mason, Logan, my dad, Josh, Danny, David, and Kent (when he got off work).

Then we got all the stuff out of the attic and it filled up the living room again! 

Still working on the play set 

 Part of the crew back at our house after lunch and unloading the storage unit

We were done moving by 2:00.

Susan and Jessica helped me take stuff to my parents house

 My pictures wrapped up and ready to take to storage.  I guess the turkey has to go with us :(

Corey sat on the stool and watched some of the game after everyone left. 

Then Corey laid out on the floor and rested.  That boy was tired! 

I was busy cleaning.

It was Mitzi's 30th Birthday so we got showers and headed up to Northampton County for her party on Saturday night.

 

It was an 80's theme! 

Me and Jessica ready to party like it is 1984

 Taylor Girls

They gave out slap bracelets 

Corey and Michael (all decked out!)

 

It was a fun night hanging out with friends and family.  We got to bed late and got up early and drove back on Sunday morning to finish moving some of Corey's shop stuff and trying to get the house cleaned.

 

We are still going to stay here a few more nights so we will have a few more things to move next week but we got alot done this weekend!



Taylors Every Day - week 11

Monday - Caleb brought home some school work of his number writing.  He has also been practicing his "e" and he wrote it "perfect"!  He was so proud!

 

 

Tuesday - Ella was so excited to be going to stay with granddaddy while Caleb went to school.

 Claire and I went to visit sweet baby Nora and Staci today too.

  -

 

Wednesday - Caleb has been wanting to cut things all the time lately.  If he gets quiet and I can't find him, he will usually be sitting at his train table cutting away. 

Ella had pizza day at her school on Wednesday

Look at all the cute little chefs with their monogrammed aprons they got - so cute! 

Chef Ella making her pizza!

 

Thursday - We packed some more!  I had two little helpers who were throwing paper out of boxes while I was trying to pack them. 

 

Caleb had Sports Day at school - he wore his Wolfpack jersey and took his green soccer ball.

Caleb had to draw a picture of himself playing his favorite sport. He did a very good job of drawing but he drew himself without arms. I asked what happened to his arms and he said "You don't need them in soccer" Very true :)

 

And it got real - the moving truck arrived!!!

 

Friday - We packed and moved some more!  We gave our table away so we had lunch on the floor.

They didn't seem to mind!



Gender Reveal Party - It's A....

Mason and Jessica are having a baby - due August 4th!

 

On Monday they found out what the baby is and had a gender reveal party to tell all the family.

I can share this now that the news is "Facebook Official" :)

 

Me and Ella - Team Pink

 Corey and Caleb - Team Blue

Here is the tally of what everyone thought it would be - more girls than boys! 

 Logan and Meridith were on vacation so Susan got them on the phone so they could hear when we found out...

Here they go opening the box- 

We were confused at first because we saw blue tissue paper and a red balloon ...

 ....and then a pink balloon!

And finally more pink balloons!

Mason scratching his head

It was a surprise to Mason and Jessica too so here is Jessica opening the ultrasound to double check :)

IT'S A GIRL!

 

We are so excited!  With 4 Taylor boys, who would have ever thought that there would be more girl grandchildren than boys!
