another reason to adore Reagan

fashion sense.

yucky

Greyson's puking. Grr!!! He started Saturday night...was kinda fine yesterday...and woke up a couple of hours ago..well, covered! Poor little muffin. I hope it doesn't make its way to the rest of the Taylor Clan.
Other than that....its been going really well around the household. I can't believe it's April tomorrow already! Hooray!

I guess I best go check on da baby.

Happy Spring!!!!

Hooray for Spring! I can't believe it! This has been the longest, coldest, wettest, darkest, windiest, snowiest, iciest, freezingist, burriest, frigidist, itchy-dry skinniest (although not really skinniest in the other sense), below zeroist winter I can remember! Yeah Spring! go YOU!! Are you feelin' it?

Greyson

The little man's rolling all over the carpet...and doing the army crawl. He's super duper close to the real crawling deal. yikes! where'd my little baby go already?? and yes..that IS red nail polish you see there. What's wrong with that??

Flashin' Back Friday

Here's a picture I took of my childhood home in Helena, Montana when we were there the other week. My! How those bushes have grown! We painted the house this color...I remember cause it had been lime green! but that was27 years ago! Update, new owners, update!!! yikes!! ..but kinda fun nonetheless!

Boys' Room

Here's a shameless plug for "uppercaseliving". (shameless...because I don't sell it!) I got this cute little sticker thing for something like 16 bucks! You order them from a catalog...and they have everything under the sun! You can also personalize your order (like...put your kids' names on their walls) Super fun. I was talking to a good friend yesterday who hadn't heard of it..so I thought I'd best put the word out! (hi Jen..love ya! Sorry I thought you were a socilitor so I gave you my grumpy voice!) What's your new favorite thing??

Stinker...

So...Reagan's latest naughty thing (one of them) is that she likes to make a quick blowing sound after I ask/tell her something to do...or something that she doesn't quite agree with. For instance..I might say, " Reagan, it's time to start getting ready for bed now.". That would quickly Reagan's lips puckered up and she'd immediately "blow" at me. Rather sassy, and obviously disrespectful...her little way of talking back without realllly saying anything. I've been trying to call her on this little nuisance whenever it happens. So...yesterday I had asked her to do something...got my usual "blow off"..and I promptly told her it was unacceptable, disrectful, etc...."It's just the wind, mom!" That's what I got. Whew...what a stinker!

TIME

OH...the horror of time for me lately. It's sick. I'm simultaneously freaked out about how quickly it's all going...and how fast my kiddos are growing up...and at the same time, wishing it all away. One year. Geoff will be done with residency in one little year. Everyone I know whose husband's have recently graduated keep telling me how quickly this last year goes by. I'm glad to hear that..sooo anxious to see where God leads us next (Montana...please!:) and at the same time trying to savor all the moments of Greyson's fleeting days as a baby, and taking in the adorable and tender things that Reagans tells me daily. I can hardly fit Brooks in my lap. In fact...I thought I would show him how strong I am last night by carrying him to bed...and had to hand him off to Geoff half way there! I want to be mindful and purposeful with the gift of this time. That's my thought as of late.

6 Word Memoir

I've been tagged by my dear Christie...the challenge is to write a six word "memoir" to sum up your life...or your thoughts...or something you'd like someone to remember you by. I've been stirring this over for a couple of days...and I think, at least for now...here's mine. This is what He's been whispering to me lately:

**"When I am weak, He's strong" ***

ok sounds better to say He IS strong....but I was trying to squeeze it into six! :)

and now...I tag....Cory, Bryn, Julie, Laura, and Ann. You have to tag five people..and leave a link to this page...

Friday Flashback...I just love these

and now..to talk about these pictures. Here's Geoff's mom with the kiddos. I desperately needed to buy a bigger "card" to hold the pics on our new camera. durr...I have no pics of my mom and dad and stuff. I realize I look like fat turd in this pic with Geoff...but it was the first time we'd actually had our picture taken together in a long, long time. Cory, Nicole, Reagan, Brooks, and Kaden dancing at Cory's wedding. precious! oh...and my wonderful friend Ann on the bottom photo drove over from Great Falls (our husbands met in med school) Sorry we didn't get to see you, Dave..and thanks for the Macaroni Grill..Ann! What fun to see you! We hope God opens up the doors for us to move back to Montana next year. It was great to see everybody!
