new toy

LOTS OF POST, LOOK AT THEM ALL:)
I'm going to try to be doing a post a day. To become more of a journal for me.
So today was a really good day. It started really early, and Taelin helped me with laundry, we took macie on a walk, and then came home and made Waffles for breakfast!:) During Taelin's nap I watched PRINCE OF PERSIA, such a great movie! When he woke up Grandma brought
out a toy that we loved to play with when we were kids...and TAELIN LOVED IT TOO! He loved to take it for a walk and push the animals down the slide.


Then we had some really good lunch. I made grilled cheese, had some grapes, applesauce, Cheetos, a salad, and of course some cookies!:)



After lunch we played outside again, and then Taelin went down for his afternoon nap. He took a 2 hour nap, so I got some stuff done and got a 10 min nap.:) We played some more and then went to Coldstone to get some FREE ice cream before dinner:) it was so GOOD! And Taelin got a FREE balloon, which he was super excited about! He loved the balloon so much that he kept it on his wrist for a little bit during dinner time. :)


Notice, he is at the head of the table...:) while Dalin is gone, him and grandpa are the heads..:)

Cute Taelin

I went and got Taelin's highchair out of our storage shed...and i'm pretty sure he was excited about it!


Taelin's new favorite 'toy' to play with right now is SHOES! He loves to try to put them on...but only on his right foot. even if he already has his shoe on, and see's another shoe, he will sit down and try to put it on his foot. it is SO funny!


i guess taelin wanted to be one of the toys


Aunt Mindy loves to play with Taelin too!

BSU TREAT

Just a treat we made for the BSU game on Saturday!! THEY TURNED OUT SO GOOD!

LOVE OUR BRONCOS!

Taelin's new FIRST bike

The other day my mom and Mindy came home with a surprise...TAELIN'S VERY FIRST TRICYCLE! It is a Diego one AND we had to put it together...40 min later we were done and this was the turn out:)
Taelin didn't get to see his new bike until the next day around 1:30 pm because I was at work and he was hanging out with Gammy & Papa:)
He was SUPER excited when he saw his bike, and Grandma even let him put 4 stickers on it! That was super cool!



This bike is kind of big for Taelin right now, he can touch the ground when he is wearing his white shoes, but other than that he is on his tippy toes...it's so cute!

Macie was really excited about it too!!:)


Macie's sniffing it, making sure it's all good

Taelin would only hold the handle bars like this, we would show him where his other hand goes, and he refused...this is how he was going to ride the bike. haha
He only wanted to ride for about 10 min, and then it was onto another toy. he hasn't been as gung ho about it as we thought, so hopefully the taller he gets the more he will want to ride it.....:) He does like to push it and turn the key and put things under the seat at least.

Thanks grandma for the fun toy that will LAST A LONG TIME! :)

Making brownies

This is what you get when Taelin is helping making brownies......


A BIG fun mess:) They turned out AMAZING of course!

Taelin's 1 Year apt...at 14 months....just a little behind

Taelin had his 1 year check up today. He is having it so late because of us living down in Utah when he turned 1. Here are his stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 8 oz (-3%)
Height: 29 1/4 in (10-25%)
Head: 18 1/4 in (25-50%)
Yes he is still so small. The doc says he just needs to drink more milk...so we will be working on that one:)
These shots WERE THE WORSE...I feel so bad having to pin down my own child while the nurse gave him these shots...this time i had to pin down both arms, his stomach, and his leg that they weren't putting the shot in..poor little man! I tried to stay calm and help him through it all and when it was all done he did great. He fell asleep IMMEDIATELY when we got into the car and when he woke up he got a lollipop for being such a good boy. He is always more tired when he gets his shots, but this time he was more tired and a lot more fussy. He is already in bed and it is only 645 pm. Hopefully he will get a lot of rest so tomorrow won't be so bad for him. We did have fun playing outside for about 2 hours today. He loves to tease macie, play in the dirt, shovel, play in the rocks, ride his car, swing, climb up and down the slide, carry macie's leash around, and go for walks. I also taught him how to roll the pool table balls into the pocket and he did pretty good. He would clap every time he would roll the ball and I would say YAY! It was HILARIOUS! Pretty good day for a boy who just got 4 shots. Love you Taelin! Here are some pics of Taelin right before we left to the doctors office. He is such a cutie pie!

Got to love the drool! It's like it's never ending!

Picnic at the park

I love going to the park! But I love having Picnic's at the park even more. Brittany Moore and her 2 kids came along and it was SO much fun! Got to love the slides and bouncy animal toys:) There was a dog that was there that was fetching a toy from the pond and Taelin kept wanting to go swim in the pond with the dog....so gross.....I would have to keep walking back and forth with him and kept telling him that the pond water was so gross and that he couldn't go swimming in that water...it was quite funny! Taelin just loves dogs so much and just wanted to play with him. I would have to distract him with some fun toys on the playground to get him to stop running over to the pond. THANKS FOR THE FUN AFTERNOON BRIT!We got to do it again soon!

GOSH I LOVE TAELIN! He is such a cute kid!

ANNETTE HOME FOR THE WEEKEND!

Annette came home to Boise the weekend of the 17th ...she actually surprised us all and came Thursday night! we were all SO excited!! She showed us her new MacBook PRO, which is soo cool, and we took some crazy pics in the photo booth. It was so much fun! Saturday mom, Annette, Taelin, and I went and spent the afternoon at WAHOOZ!


Taelin LOVES to play with Aunt Net! here we are driving to WAHOOZ

(yes I look retarded in this pic, but I was really excited)
We taught Taelin how to mini golf (Annette 1st place, Taelin & Jennie 2nd Place, Mom 3rd Place),

Teaching him how to hold the club...

He caught on really quickly:)

He wanted to help Aunt Net hit the ball....i think that's why Annette won...cuz she had Taelin's help! :)

He LOVED to just carry the ball and put it in the hole.
played some token games,

Driving!

And of course taking a ride with Spider Man!:)
and then Annette and I raced on the go karts...and Annette totally schooled me...my car was SO slow! but it was still so much fun!!! I can't wait till Taelin is old enough to ride with me!

Then Annette and Mom played another round of golf while Taelin and I just watched...this time Mom got 1st and Annette got 2nd.

GOOD JOB MOM!
Now it was time to go and pick out some toys from all of our tickets! we got the BEST toy...i think we all love the toy that Tealin picked more than he loves it:) see for yourself. :) WHAT A FUN DAY AT WAHOOZ! Thanks mom!
