Gardening

Ben and I uprooted our dead tree in the backyard today. I was joking with him and made a comment about pulling the tree over...well it came up easier than we thought.

My gardens are coming along...not a lot of flowers yet but soon enough.

Purple Hair

I changed my hair cut and today we went dark and added purple. Ben wanted me to go black, and then bright red like the singer of Paramore...I think he wants me to be a rock star or at least try and look like one since he can't, you know owning a business in all you have to look professional. So our hairdresser and I decided on dark violet and bright purple instead. I really like it! A little crazy but something different and fun. Thought I'd share...

9 month pictures

Taylor got his 9 month pictures today.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day...Ben spoiled me as always (I love my husband). I got to pick out flowers and new rose bushes to put in my gardens on Saturday. On Sunday morning Ben woke me up with cards and diamond earrings...bling bling.

Taylor can now stand up by himself. He can usually balance for a few seconds before landing on his butt. He'll be walking soon.

Sometimes he's so quick I can't get a picture...

Wash Park

Since the weather is now warming up here, Taylor and I have started meeting Carly and baby Cameryn each week to go walking around Washingon Park ("Wash Park") in Denver. It is a beautiful area to walk. Our goal is to "run" soon...lol...I have never been a runner but Carly tells me we are working up to it. When we meet we usually pack lunch, this last Tuesday Carly shared part of her sandwhich with this squirel and then it wouldn't leave us alone and she was convinced it was going to attack us, it doesn't look that threating to me.

New Chair

Taylor is now 9 months old. He has out grown his infant carrier. I really think he is enjoying the new seat and being able to sit up a little more up right in the car. Although, he did not enjoy us interupting his playtime to see how to work it in our family room...

Snow Days

Today we got snowed in...spring storm! It was very nice to have Ben work from home today. Now we are watching "Marley and Me." And the dogs of course enjoyed the snow...

Taylor is always on the move now and he gets into everything! I honestly can't believe how fast he moves sometimes. He has also started this new noise that sounds like a "roaaaarrr", opens he's mouth and slaps his hand. It makes us smile every time.

Taylor has also found his reflection in the appliances :)

I made Easter baskets for the boys this year. It was fun watching Taylor take the toys out. We had a long Easter morning at church and Taylor was so tired.

And we wanted you to meet Cameryn Olivia Kovacs. Our friends had their baby girl about a month ago. Carly and I are hoping for wedding bells someday :) hehehe. Ben loves holding her, it's so cute...I think he really wants a girl next.

Bath Time: Taylor now sits up in the bath tub and loves playing...our 5 minutes baths are now 20 but the splashing and laughter are worth the extra time.

Teething away...the top front teeth are coming in.

Lastly, we had our first meeting with our new dog trainer. She did really well with Dallas and we have lots of homework and lessons to do each day. Dallas has been progressing, slowly but surely. We hope to have her come back a few more times to keep working with him and us of course to make him more comfortable with Taylor and his rank in our home.
