1st day of school 2010

My cute little Taiylor. 3rd grade, Here she comes w/ almost no teeth!


1st grade Here I come! At least he's happy here...just wait!


Brother-Sister Love!


Off to the bus! Still doing okay...


And OHHH, not so much. Hit the doors to school and he lost it. Bless his heart. At least he's cute when he cries.


Taiylor is polar opposite, thank goodness. She just rolls with the punches and jumps right in!

Life has been a little crazy and this is a late posting. Happy to say that Cameron is doing a little better in school and has a fantastic teacher. Everyday is a step in the right direction (we hope). I am glad Taiylor is there to help support her brother. Can't believe they are growing so big, so fast! Little Brinley just keeps saying, "When I go to school, mom, I won't cry." She remains an adorbale little spitfire! Taiylor seems to be doing great other than all her "trades" with friends...seems to be the thing to do in 3rd grade. Trade this for that...ya know the routine! I can't believe how much she is learning. Love you guys, proud of you! Happy school year!

Taiylor's Baptism

What A Glorious Day!!!


Look how proud just before leaving for the church!


Right after the baptism...isn't she beautiful!


My little family

Great Grandma Burtenshaw and Taiylor. What a beautiful memory.

Grandma and Grandpa Horne & Grandma and Grandpa Bybee

Bybee Family...need to work on taking pictures in the sun.

Horne Family...also need to work on pictures in the sun!

---------------------------------------------------------------

What a fabulous day! I am so proud of my little Taiylor & her decision to be baptized. We have been so blessed to have her in our life. She is so thoughtful & we our so lucky to have her as our daughter. I couldn't have been a prouder mom especially when Taiylor and I were able to sing together for her baptism. She sang beautifully & I couldn't hold back the tears. She truly looked like a princess. We love you Taiylor and can't wait to see what lies ahead!

Happy Birthday Taiylor

Can't believe my little girl turned eight....


So don't pay attention to the goofy mom shot, but isn't she so cute...


We started the evening out with the girls making their own pizzas. Making them was a little crazy because the dough was stuck to their plates, but they turned out good and they had a lot of fun.


Each of the girls had their own 7 inch cake to decorate. It was theirs to take home. I had frosting and sprinkles everywhere.


Taiylor thought this was a lot of fun and was making a flower for her cake. I was impressed.


The finished product. These girls were pretty creative. They all turned out really cute.


Time for presents. This part never gets old for the Birthday girl.

What's a party without games...forgot to take pictures of the balloon games because I was too busy laughing at all of them.

Now they finish the late night off with a movie and starburst. Watching Barbie and the Mermaid Tale.

Turning eight is such a big accomplishment and a milestone in Taiylor's life. We are so proud of her and the beautiful young girl she has become. I know she is going to accomplish great things and look forward to many more crazy Birthday parties and everlasting memories. We love you Taiylor.

Taiylor's 1st Play

Taiylor played the role of mom to the little fox and she played it well.


"Hold your horses."


The Crew...look at that excitement.

The 2nd graders had been practicing plays for quite some time and Taiylor was so excited. She did an excellent job. The teacher said the only thing she struggled to get Taiylor to do was look mad when the fox got in trouble. Taiylor was so happy to do the play all she could do was smile! Well done Taiylor.

Cameron Kindergarten Graduation

WE DID IT!!!!

Cameron and his graduation diploma


Cameron in the spotlight with his sisters


Brinley loves her big brother...this was a spontaneous hug. She was very proud of him!


Principal Lemons...He told Cameron everyday that he was his main man. He greeted him off the bus and was such a help for Cameron's transistion. Thanks Mr. Lemons


One of Cameron's best friends, Drake Graham.


Always love the support from Grandparents.


Through all the struggles we had this year with Kindergarten, Travis and I kinda felt like we were graduating with him. Cameron has grown so much this year in school. We started out forcing him on the bus sobbing :( and him having a death grip on Travis at school when we would drop him off to finally a diploma and a little boy that has gained some confidence in what he can do. We are very proud of him and he is way excited for Summer. This kid would stay outside everyday from sunup to sundown.

Disneyland Vacation

DISNEYLAND


The famous Mickey at Disneyland. The flowers were amazing.


Taiylor was amazed at the castle. Aren't they so cute?


They loved meeting the characters...Taiylor especially. Cameron was more into the rides and shows.


Cameron thought this was pretty cool.


One of Taiylor's most favorite princesses. She was able to meet three of them, Snow White, Jasmine, and Sleeping Beauty. Look at that grin!


Taiylor was asked to be part of the Celebration parade and loved it!


Cameron like the Tarzan treehouse and loved Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Carribean. His most favorite was Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Railroad.

SEA WORLD


The famous Shamu show. The kids were amazed until we got soaking wet from Shamu. They were both in tears and Cameron said "Gross, I just drank Shamu water."


They were able to feed and pet the dolphins. Me too. It was awesome!

LAGUANA BEACH


This is why I love the ocean and a beautiful beach. A picture is worth a thousand words. I could sit here forever.


First time for the kids at an ocean. It was chilly and they still loved it. They collected a ton of seashells and played in the waves and sand. I have a ton more pictures, but had to be a little selective for my blog. We definetely have to go back!


Thought this turned out cute. The beach brings out the best in me. Lucky man...love this guy!

Our trip was amazing. It wasn't really relaxing for Travis or I because we were constantly running and doing whatever the kids wanted to do. However, we made many memories and that is what matters the most. The kids loved it and other than the car rides, were best friends. It was so fun to see the excitement they had everday. They got a little worn out at the end of the day at Disneyland, but we would normally get some Cotton Candy and one time even gave in to giving them some Mountain Dew. Cameron was pretty excited to get to drink the adult pop with caffiene. Taiylor loved the princesses and getting autographs from all the characters. Cameron enjoyed the rides. The first rollercoaster we took them on, Space Mountain, was rather intimidating and all in the dark (our bad). Travis and I thought they mayhave passed out during the ride and we couldn't see them. When we got off they both had tears and said they were never going to do that again. They got brave and did other ones though. Travis's parents were able to meet us at Disneyland the second day and the kids were so excited to see them. They had been gone to Yuma, AZ for the last couple months.

They really enjoyed the beach although it was a little chilly. They played in the waves and looked everywhere for seashells. Travis and I loved watching them and enjoyed the beautiful view. Seaworld was fun and we are glad we went, but I think they were a little more fond of Disneyland. Cameron loved the sharks & the dolphins and Taiylor loved the dolphins & Shamu. They thought the Sea lion show was a lot of fun especially because they didn't get wet. We hated the trip to come to an end, but were excited to go home to see Brinley who was able to stay with Grandma Horne. Nothing better than building good memories!

Taiylor Dentist app and Cameron's Crazy Day!

Taiylor was a little trooper. She had 4 teeth pulled. Her mouth is too tiny and they had to make some room for her permanent teeth. Look at that priceless smile!


Doesn't everyone remember losing their front teeth and sticking the tongue through the middle..she has a cute lisp now.


Those teeth would have never came out on their own. Look at the roots on those things.



Cameron had Dr. Suess crazy day at school today and picked out his outfit. NICE SON


He was set on having a mohawk. It seems to be the in thing with kids these days, but I won't let him have one, but for this day we let him have some fun. Cute kid even with a crazy mohawk.

Brinley's little shiner!

Thank goodness for her nukkie! OUCH!


She looks a little tipsy! Isn't she irresitable even with a black eye.


Amongst all this we manage to find a smile.

Well our first black eye. Apparently she was jumping off the couch at daycare before Kaylnn could get to her and she hit her eye. Glad it was only a black eye and no stitches.
