Memorial Day

The Grinch/night in downtown

The Taylor family had a night out on the town tonight in downtown Cincy.  We ate at a restaurant on Fountain Square, posed by the foundation and took in a show at the Arnoff - The Grinch.  It was a great show and we loved it. #thegrinch - inside joke!

Trick or treat 2013

This year for Halloween we had Monster High's, Ghoulia, and Batman.  They got to visit with Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss.  They tried to scare us with their costumes and their pointy teeth but we couldn't be tricked into being scared, we know they are sweet, just like all the candy they got.

Pumpkin carving

The kids were very into carving this year.  They didn't mind getting the goo out and took part in making their creations.  We ended up with a bat and a scary face.  They looked so neat all lit up.

Annual Halloween farm visit

Another fun yearly outing at Niederman Farm.  Jumping pillow, hayrides, bonfire, picking pumpkins, faces in cutouts and playing on swings.  A very fun, fall family tradition.

Mother's Day

One of my favorite holidays - I love all of the homemade cards and gifts.  I love how Jacob commented about my green eyes making me more unique.  Emily wrote my card in a song and then drew a picture of me and wrote about me.  I especially liked how she said it was from Sugarbooger Emily.  Our little nickname for her.  She also made me a lovebug.  I absolutely love being a mother to these two beautiful children.  They are two of the best gifts I've ever received.

Easter

The kids looked for baskets on both the 1st and 2nd floors this year - both were hidden upstairs to their surprise.  We colored and decorated eggs.  I made our traditional cinnamon rolls for Sunday morning breakfast but put them in the shape and iced them to look like a bunny.  The kids thought it was neat!  I love holiday traditions with the kids.
