HUMP DAAAY

This commercial is all the rage right now and it is hilarious to hear the kids say it each Wednesday. Wonder how long this craze will last?!?!

Flag football games begin

And so it begins - another season of Upward flag football.  Jacob was so excited to get out there on the field and run around with his team.  We're looking forward to all of the touchdown dances he's promised us.

Last swim class

They did it!  The kids survived their private swim lessons with Miss Kathy.  They learned a lot - tons of strokes and how to swim, but most importantly how to be safe and not scared when they are in the water.

Diamond seats

Daddy and Jacob got to go with Papaw and Tom to the Reds game and sit in the Diamond Seats!  (And don't tell anyone, but Jacob even got out of school early to go to this once in a lifetime experience!)  He got to experience the fantastic view of the game up close and all of the wonderful food that was included free with the tickets.  Jacob waved to Choo and Mesaroco and they acknowledged him back.  He walked down to the front row and when we watched the game on tv we could see him standing there waving - pretty cute.  So neat to make memories with the Taylor men.

Best seats in the house

So we had one of the coolest experiences tonight that I'm sure we'll ever have at the ballpark.  On our way up to our seats in the top section we were approached by Reds personnel and asked if we'd like to be upgraded to the best seats in the house.  Well, duh - YES!!!  We got to relax in the comfy recliners and wave to everyone from the scoreboard.  We got free hot dogs.  Gapper came to visit us. The kids were truly happy and had smiles from ear to ear all night long.  It was a great night, one we'll remember for a long time to come.

Grandparent's day

We sent this picture to our grandparents to wish them a happy grandparent's day.  Our kids are so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents in their lives.  Especially since they spoil them rotten!

Emily - 1st day of soccer season

This little cute patootie started playing fall soccer today.  She looks so cute with her little soccer socks and pigtails blowing in the breeze as she runs up and down the field.  Here's to a great season and lots of goals.
