My Beautiful Blue Eyed Baby Boy!

All I can say is.........WOW!

I felt this was totally blog worthy. I cannot believe the gas prices lately and how incredibly fast they have been going down. At least something good is coming from this economic crisis right? I seriously can't remember the last time that gas prices were below $2.00 a gallon. I don't think that gas was this low when Taylor and I got married 4 years ago (I do have a bad memory though). As poor law students and living off of student loans we have a very tight budget and the high gas prices caused me to not be able to go out and do a whole lot. I felt that we could have done more stuff and went to new places more often if it wasn't for the gas prices. I would make it 1 whole month on 1 tank of gas. I filled up on October 1st and it cost me $89.00 and I made it on that one tank of gas until November 1st and I filled up again when gas was at $2.42 a gallon and it cost me $50.00 even. I can't tell you how good that felt. Well 1 week later the gas prices have dropped even more. I am interested to see how much more the gas drops and where it decides to stay. I really hope and pray that the gas prices don't go back up to where they were a few weeks back. I am so excited about the decline in gas prices cause this now means that the price of food goes down as well as a number of other things. The economy is in such a bad position right now and I know that the low gas prices will help so many people in so many ways. I am so totally PUMPED about this as you can all tell. Now going home to visit family will cost us half as much as it did a few months back. In August it cost us a whopping $450.00 bucks to drive home and I am so excited to come home now and not have it withdraw every last penny out of our sappy bank account. WOO HOO!

Tayson found his toes

Tayson has found his feet and loves to play with his little pig's. The only time that he will play with his pig's is when we take off his pants or when he is laying around in his diaper. If his pants are on he won't play with them and I am sure that it is because he can't move in them cause his belly is so big and it makes his pants tight. When he gets a little fussy and just had a nap and just ate I know that he is ready to be stripped down so he can just roll around and play.

"Can I hold baby brother"?

Kamryn sure loves her baby brother and she constantly asks me if she can hold her baby brother. She loves to sit on the couch and watch Baby Einstein with him. She is gonna be a good little mommy someday.

Wrestling match

Brynlee loves to pin Tayson down on the floor and play with him, but to switch it up I layed Tayson on top of Brynlee to let her see what it was like to have someone laying on her. I thought that maybe since Tayson was so heavy that she would get mad and want him off of her, but she actually really liked it and was mad when I took him off. Brynlee just beats her poor brother up and I don't know what to do to get her to stop. I thought this would help and it actually makes her want to do it more cause she thinks it is a game. She loves her brother so much and just wants to play with him, but she doesn't know how to be gentle. She will sit on his stomach and bounce on him and say "Weeeee the horsey". She scares me and I am afraid she is really going to hurt him someday. In fact I thought she had broken his arm the other day. He had rolled over onto his stomach and she thought it would be nice to roll him back over, but she didn't realize that his arm was straight out and when she rolled him over it bent his arm all the way back. I seriously have never seen an arm bend like that before. He cried and wouldn't move his arm for a couple minutes. It scared me way bad! I sure gave her a good paddle on the bum.

Tayson was enjoying licking Brynlee's back and as you can see she didn't mind it so much either. When I took Tayson off, Brynlee's back was full of slobber.

Cute video of Tayson

The other day Tayson was screaching and cooing up a storm so I had to take video of him. He has found his little voice and loves to use it. He loves to scream and make loud noises. It is cute when he is happy and playing and not so cute when he is mad and crying. He screams all the time now, happy or sad. Taylor and I can't help but laugh when he is crying cause he screams at the top of his lungs and sounds like a little girl screaming. It's quite funny and irritating to the ears at the same time. He is such a happy little boy and we couldn't be luckier. Pause the music so you can hear his sweet little voice.

Blogging Queen and Picture Freak

Ok, so I have been called the Blogging Queen many times as well as a Picture Freak. Well for those of you who don't know me real well, I ALWAYS have my camera with me in my purse and it goes with me wherever I go and I take a million pictures when we do something. I also update the blog ALL THE TIME for my parents and Taylor's parents as well. Also when you have 3 kids there is always something going on and something new with each child and I want to share it with family since they don't get to see us that often. So for all of you others who look at our blog you probably think I am crazy and sit on the computer all the time, but this is not true. I just update the blog as soon as we have new pictures so that our families can see us and what we are up to. I also use the blog as a personal journal. I am not good at writing in my journal (in fact I don't do it at all) and so this is an easy way for me to write down what new has happened, etc. There is a really cool website called blurb.com and it allows you to print off your blog into a book (like a journal). So no I am not crazy, I just update for family and journaling purposes. I hope you all enjoy our blog.

Chucke-Cheese

I took the girls to Chucke Cheese to play with some of our friends, and the kids had a blast. I had never been to Chucke Cheese before and I was pretty impressed. There were so many things to do and you could let the kids just run and play all over the place and us moms just sat back and talked. It was safe, new, clean and it didn't break our bank account. The kids were happy playing on the rides without them moving, shaking, or talking. Chucke came to say hi to us but the girls were a little freaked out. Tayson didn't care who it was as long as someone was holding him. If you haven't been you should give it a try. I have always been a little hesitant to take the kids there, but it was fun.

It's official.....

It's official............Tayson is rolling over. Awhile back he rolled over a few times and then never did it again. But the last few days he has been trying so hard to roll over, he just couldn't push those little fat rolls hard enough to get himself all the way over (ha, ha). But today I caught him rolling over like 3 times. Here he is in action!

Copy Cat

Tayson loves to watch everything we do and then tries to copy us. The other day Taylor was smacking his lips and then Tayson tried to do it as well. It was cute! Make sure to pause the music to hear him.

My little cuties on Halloween

Here are the kids cute Halloween costumes. Can you believe that Brynlee wore that monkey costume last year and was 8 months old and Tayson is only 4 months old. Brynlee wanted to try on the monkey costume again and it STILL fit her. She is such a little shrimp. I made Kamryn's costume this year. It was so simple and easy to make. I bought her wings at the dollar store and then added a flower and some ribbon to it to spice it up and it turned out pretty cute. I got the idea from a website called pinktaffydesigns.com check it out. They have some cute stuff.

Here is Brynlee wishing you all a Happy Halloween. She is a little chatter box and I love it!

Halloween Party

Happy Halloween! We had a great Halloween Party with good friends from Law School. There was great food, candy, prizes, games for the kids, and ping pong for the men. It was fun to hang out and laugh at everybody's costumes.

Here are all the ladies at the party. There were some pretty creative costumes.

Brynlee was FREAKED out at the party! For the first half hour or so she just cried and cried and would only let me hold her. She was especially freaked out by her dad. She would scream and cry when he would try to hold her. I know I am a terrible mom, but it was pretty funny. After awhile she warmed up to everyone. She even gave kisses to the ones who made her cry.

Here is mine and Taylor's costume. Taylor was the Tooth Fairy and I was the little girl who lost her tooth and was waiting for the tooth fairy to come. We had it all planned out and it was so funny in our minds and then we got ready for the party and realized that we hadn't put enough work into our costumes and so it looked really lame. I don't think most people could even tell what I was supposed to be. I was a little disappointed, but oh well. The coloring on my teeth kept wiping off and it looked stupid, and I couldn't find cute little girl pajama's with the footies and the zip up zipper. But Taylor did win the "Who would actually wear that costume in public" contest. Woo hoo! Some good came out of our costumes (he, he)

Here are all the fella's who were at the party.

All the cute little girlies in their costumes.

Brynlee's main man Teage. These two are always so cute together.

Kamryn after the ghost hunt. She was happy she got some candy.

Here are most of the kids that were at the party.
