Happy Birthday Tyler

Tyler had a great time turning 2 this year! Happy Birthday Tyler!!

He blew out his #2 candle,

we played pin the tale on the donkey,

rolled around on balls,

opened presents and....did a pinata (see below).

Tyler's Pinata

I forget when I post things that I have to post the last things first and the first things last (sorry). The kids had a great time hitting the pinata and I wanted to share it with everyone!

Tyler's Pinata Cont'd

All of the children had several attempts at hitting the pinata. I couldn't resist posting each one taking a turn. We had such a great time!

The Results are In

The results for our poll ended up being a tie between Super Heroes and FSU Football players and Cheerleaders. So the deciding vote will be what costume can be made or found faster! Thank you for participating-this was fun and suspenseful! We'll have to do it again soon.

Taylor our Trapeze Artist

Taylor's favorite thing on our playset is the trapeze bar! She's now mastered swinging and hanging upside down on it!

Look at that starting form!

Look at her strength!

Check out her muscles!

Great job Taylor!!

Tyler Climbs the Wall

On our playsest there's a climbing wall that all the boys that come over like to climb and Tyler is no exception. His daddy reassured me that he would be safe. So, I stood by with the camera in hand to capture this monumental moment and also prepared to throw the camera on the ground in case I needed to save my baby!!

He'll take on anything!

Look at that confidence :)

He's getting closer!

And the reward...to go down the slide and do it all over again!! Great job Tyler!

Facebook

I joined Facebook this week and I'm totally addicted! It's great getting to see long lost friends and keeping in touch and up to date with everyone. I highly recommend you joining if you haven't already. I hope to chat with you in there!

Eating Corn

One night Mom made dinner for us and brought it to our house (wow, life doesn't get any better!!). One of the things she fixed was corn on the cob. This was the first time that Tyler had ever eaten corn directly off the cob-so I grabbed the camera.

Taylor shows Tyler how it's done!

Yum...Lot's of butter!

High School Musical on Ice

We went to HS Musical on Ice with some friends and had a blast! We sat front row and the girls loved it. However, Tyler got upset when he was dancing and one of the characters asked for a high 5. He ran back to me never to get close when they came around again. It was a great time!

Robyn & Todd updates!

Just a quick update about us, because we know everyone just comes here to see our wonderful children!! (LOL). I started a new job August 25th and I love it! It's with Depuy Mitek, a Johnson & Johnson company, and I sell a medical device called Orthovisc. And on September 22nd Todd started working for the Desoto Civic Center. He's really enjoying it and is excited to be booking the building. OK, that's all you can go back to looking at the pictures and voting on the poll-haha! Have a great one!

Our Poll

While I'm trying my hardest to get caught up to date on our blog I decided to also do something current. A friend did a poll on her blog and it inspired me to do the same. Since I finally got Todd to agree to dress up this year with the family, actually Taylor asked and he said yes-who knew daddy couldn't resist daddy's little girl :) We've narrowed it down to the 3 items listed. Please cast your vote to help us decide. Thanks! (I just realized the lettering isn't very easy to read-sorry about that and if anyone knows how I can change the color or font size on a poll please feel free to let me know!)

Tyler Skates!

I found these pictures after I already posted Taylor's birthday party pictures. Oops! Tyler tried skating at Taylor's party and did great on the carpet, but then he got bored and showed off his dance moves for everyone (see below post).

Happy Birthday Taylor!

In July Taylor had a skating party for her 8th birthday and we had a great time!

And Tyler shows off his dance moves!

Puerto Vallarta

In July Todd and I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! We won a trip from my old company. Judy came up to hang out with the kiddoes and Johnny was even able to come up for a couple of days too. We all had a blast! Most of our pictures were taken from the photographer walking around, but we did swim with the dolphins and the group went in together to get the CD of pictures. So, I can share these with you. We stayed in an all inclusive resort, ate great food, swam with the dolphins, did zip lines, hung out with friends and met new ones, walked the beach, stayed poolside most of the days and slept in late! It was a wonderful vacation. Thank you Judy and Johnny!

The Hannah Montana Concert

November of 2007 we went to the Hannah Montana; I know it was a year ago, but I didn't have our blog yet. I came across these pictures and thought that Taylor would really enjoy seeing them again. Just to clear up any things you may be thinking... yes, we paid full price for our tickets (yes both of them), no we did not get to go back stage and meet anyone, but we had a great time and I'd do it again in a heart beat. I'm so glad we got to go, Taylor had such a great time and I had a great time watching her enjoy the concert and her amazement of where our seats were located. Thank you Todd for doing that and Taylor we love you! And just in case Hannah reads this-it was a great concert, very entertaining and the lift that you practiced so hard on looked great! :)

The Hannah Montana Concert

Logan, Mattie,Taylor and Ellie on their way to see the Jonhas Brothers, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus!

The Jonhas Brothers (for those of you that don't have children that are 6 years or older!)

Taylor was so shocked to find out that our seats were FRONT ROW!! The whole night she said "Thank you daddy" every time the performers came close.

Here's Hannah Montana reaching out to Taylor, except that I had to lift her and take the picture so I managed to get the top of Hannah's head (well at least I got something). We did manage to get 2 guitar pics!!!
