We love Family

We were so excited to have family visit us from Utah. Lesa, Jake and Stevie came to stay for a week. The first thing to do on the list was to head to Philadelphia to visit Casey, Lindsay and Jack. It was a long drive but we made it. We got all 6 kids and 4 adults asleep in their apt and it was great. We went to the Please Touch Museum, lunch at Wendy's, to see the Liberty Bell, and the Smith House Playground. Casey and Lindsay were so great for feeding us and taking us in. We had a wonderful time. I love getting cousins together, so fun!

When we came back to Connecticut we play outside a lot, visited Kent Falls and just enjoyed our time together.

Tuesday we headed to New York City, unfortunately it rained most of the day. We went to the National History Museum, and enjoyed all the sights there first to hopefully miss the rain but it didn't stop. Most of the group then went for a ride on the subway to FAO Swhartz. To end the day we drove past the Empire State Building and got a parking ticket in New York City, so awesome;)

We were so sad when the cousins left, Taylor decided that we are boring without them. Thanks for coming to visit, we can't wait to have others come.

4 YEARS OLD!

Taylor turned 4 this last Sunday and it is so hard for me to believe. He has grown up so much. He is such a sweetheart. He loves to take care of others, he loves to wrestle with the twins and play with them, he loves to be active and he still loves to be held by mom and dad. Some of my favorite things about Taylor are:

He will bring you cups and cups of water to make you feel better when you are sick

He loves to have his back scratched and he will return the favor He loves to run He loves to wrestle

He loves the movie "Cars"

He wants to be a pilot or a race care driver when he grows up

He can't wait for the new baby to come to our family

He can't sit still while he eats dinner

He loves to help with Lana and Drew

He loves to read

He loves to build

He loves to jump off everything

He is so timid

He has to watch someone else do everything before he will try it

and

so so so so much more.

We love you Taylor. My camera is having some problems lately so I got some good pictures and one video. We are working on getting a new camera or having it fixed.
