Like Father, Like Daughter...Again!

 All of our girls have been VERY bald at birth and for a LONG time!  Taylor's head has turned out exactly the same!
What can you say though... Bald is beautiful!  Especially in our house!

Happy Valentines Day! 2012

 Today was a fun day celebrated with all of our little Valentine's!  (Mom and Dad will celebrate when Grandma comes to town and we only have 1 versus 4 in tow, Lol!)  BUT... I was definitely surprised when I received a dozen roses delivered from John with a wonderful card attached!  The girls received Valentine gifts from both Grandma's too!  They were so excited and felt the love all of the way from both Illinois and Wisconsin!
 To celebrate with the girls we ordered heart shaped pizza's from Papa Murphey's and had Sonic slushies to drink (the girls favorite!)  And then I grilled some bratwurst and put them on Daddy's half of the pizza before baking it.  It was a hit, and if you know John, then grilled bratwurst on pizza is equivalent to a dozen roses! :)
 This is a typical dinner for us... Taylor as the main dish Lol!  Who says you can't have family dinner just because a baby is around??  Taylor loves to sit in her Bumbo and observe the craziness as well as listen to the constant chatter from her 3 sisters.  John and I get to have very few conversations before 9pm anymore, our voices have been drown out by a bunch of sweet little tinkerbell voices.  
Taylor is growing up so quickly now.  Knowing that she is our last, I wish I could slow time down... maybe even pause it for a bit.  But alas... I can't, so I will enjoy every moment.  The good.... the bad... the ugly... and the pretty.

Lunchtime with Dad

 Meeting Dad for lunch can be a bit of a challenge as well as expensive if we go to a restaurant, so instead we like to eat in the car on the way and meet Dad at one of the great parks near BSU!
 Brook is such a daredevil like Hannah and is already trying to swing upside down!  
 Today was gorgeous!
 Aspen has become a lot more brave lately!  Generally Aspen will observe someone else before trying something on her own.  Lately she has been the one to step out and lead!
 Any excuse to go outside and we take complete advantage of it!  We cannot wait until summer!
 This is one of the girls favorite things to do, and Dad gets a good workout! ;)
Taylor enjoyed the fresh air too!  Fighting to keep her eyes open among all of the excitement!

Snow Cones.... Literally

 I keep referring to our winter this year as mild, and it truly has been!  I have to admit I am DEFINITELY not complaining!  So far we still have not had a ton of snow, but when we wake up to a white fluffy wonderland we choose to take complete advantage of it!  This morning was a little too cold to go out and play so instead we brought the snow inside!  Hannah thought now would be a great time to let Taylor eat some snow and I agree!  
 Mark it down in the baby books people... or blog as I do :)  Today was Taylor's first time tasting snow, and she LOVED it!
 Aspen, Brooke, and Hannah love it too!  We cleared out as much snow as we could from the front and backyard before it started to come out of questionable territory... eh hem... Sadie...

 A morning spent snuggled up on the couch, watching Finding Nemo, and eating snow.  Can't get much better than this!
Such a sweet girl Taylor is.  She has truly turned out to be a Joy to us all!
