Uncle Frank gets Married

On August the 3rd my older brother Frank got married. We were all in the wedding and Taylor was a flower girl. She did a great job. We bribed her with gummy bears but she ended up giggling going down the aisle while she helped the older flower girl throw flowers. Here are some pictures. I'm hoping to post better ones once I get some of the professional ones that were taken.

 

 

 

 

 

They had a photo booth which was a ton of fun. We were able to dress up and take some pictures.

 

 

 

We are definitely happy to have a new addition to our family. Congrats Frank and Samantha!

Goodbye to the Paci

For the last couple of weeks we have been talking to Taylor about giving her pacifiers to Emma our Goddaughter.  We have been telling her that she is a big girl and only babies need pacifiers. She only uses them at nap time or when she goes to bed but we need to get rid of them. It worked out perfect because Trinity, Emma's older sister was having a birthday party on Sunday the 18th. So for the entire week before we talked over and over again about giving them to Emma. I put all the pacifiers I could find in a little baggie and that night before we left Taylor gave each one a kiss and hug. She put each one in her mouth and then gave them to Emma. It was really cute because Emma doesn't use pacifiers but she went right ahead and began chewing on one of them. It was perfect. I told her " See Emma needs them" and that was that. On the ride home she asked for them a couple times but Clint and I reminded her that she gave them to Emma. It went better than I expected. She woke up a little earlier for the next couple of days but it wasn't too bad. I meant to get a picture of her saying goodbye to them but I wasn't able to. :-(

Here is the one picture I could find of her with her pacifier. No more paci's as of August the 18th ! YAY!

Coast Trip

A couple of weeks ago we went to the coast and met Grandpa and Omie at Mustang Towers in Port Aransas, TX.  We were able to take Great Grandma Ciomperlik with us and we had lots of fun.

 

Taylor loves the beach.

Taylor pooping in a bucket! HA

This was the only thing I could find quick enough. She thought it was funny.

 

We both enjoyed our trip to Port A. Thanks Grandpa and Omie for inviting us! We can't wait till  Logan and Cole can join the Port A beach trips. Hurry back to Texas!

Summer Fun

The summer as flown by. I can't believe its August already. Here are some pictures from this summer.

Taylor loves the pool. She has no fear which is scary but she loves to swim and splash around. I took her to lessons in June and she loved it. She learned to grab onto the edge and monkey to the steps, kick and use her arms, blow bubbles under water, and just get more comfortable in the pool.

 

 



 

 

 Here is a picture from swim class.

This was one of the first trips to the coast this summer.
