Las Vegas

I went to Las Vegas for my friend, Jill's bachelorette party. We took a limo from the air port to our hotel, The Flamingo. Jill is one of my sorority sisters.

We went to a club in the Wynn hotel, called Tryst.

Jill's sisters booked a cabana by the pool for Saturday.

We had dinner on Saturday night at Mesa in Ceaser's Palace.

Taylor's Party

Taylor's 1st Birthday Party

Taylor would only eat his cake with a fork.

The Swing Set

For Taylor's birthday we wanted to get him something he could use for a long time, so we bought him a swing set.
The start of the day, Saturday. Our house guest, Truman started helping Ben put it together.

Then my brother came over to help...and then my dad on Sunday...how many men does it take to put together a swing set? For us it was 5 total...lol.

Taylor "helping"

And then came Jason...we had him and his wife, Carly and there baby Cameryn over for dinner. We thought we'd be done building it by Sunday evening but they were still going strong. Poor Jason...thought he was just coming over for dinner and got put to work...sorry!


The final product. We absolutely love it and so does Taylor. He got him a baby swing and he points out to it every morning so we can go play on it. He also loves the slide, if you put him on top of it, he gets on his belly and slides down.

Taylor's Birthday

Taylor's Birthday...his already 1. This year has gone by so fast I can't believe it. He is no longer a baby. It was so cute, he took the blue bow off his present, showed Ben and then put the bow back on the present. He didn't do much unwrapping, we had to do it for him. I thought he would enjoy ripping the paper but he wasn't interested at all. So funny.






I wanted to get him a small cake for his actual birthday on July 24th. He's big cake will be for his party. (Just wait you will all think I'm crazy...Ben already does.)


Everyone taking pictures of Taylor...so much attention.



Taylor seriously ate the whole piece of cake we gave him. He got some on himself, but mostly he ate it all...wow!
