Snow Day!

Well, Taylor got to experience her first snow. The snow wasn't nearly as exciting as watching Budd frolic & play.

GO Raiders!

This picture was taken after the game notice Taylor's PJ's. Grandma got Joe & I tickets to the Tech vs Baylor game at the new Dallas Cowboy's Stadium AND she traveled to watch our little one so we could go. Thank you Grandma!

What an incredible stadium! I'm kicking myself for leaving the camera. STILL learning how to juggle Taylor's travel must takes. Anyways, don't have a picture of the whole crew but Daniel & LaDonna went with us as well. Daniel, maybe a Cowboys game next?

We were able to see Stacey & Adam at the game. However, our nose bleed seats were directly across from one another. Boo.

Preston, Logan, & Taylor

Turkey Time!

We traveled to Aunt Heather & Uncle Hossy's new home for Thanksgiving this year! Taylor was able to spend some quality time with Nana & PaPa as well. It was here that her wave became official. She can now clap & wave. It's time Mommy introduce some sign language into the mix!

Heather, Nana, Taylor, & I went wedding dress shopping the day before Thanksgiving. We found the PERFECT dress! The photos are top secret. Can't wait for the big day!

Sharon, Ken, Kevin, Logan & Preston came Thanksgiving Day. It was nice to see the boys & exchange Christmas gifts.

My Pumpkin'

Friday we went to the Pumpkin Patch so I could practice my photography skills. Yes, we need to visit again.

Taylor put her senses of taste to the test. Hay, pumpkins, you name it... to her surprise hay doesn't help you cut teeth. BUT you never know unless you try!

She cut her first tooth today, two actually, just poking through.

Papa's Little Girl

Joe had a school psychology conference in Houston so we turned lemons into lemonade. Taylor and I spent time in Abilene bonding with Nana & Papa. Thanks Dad for babysitting. I enjoyed Bunco, a movie, & time spent with friends.

Well I never...

I can hear my grandmother, "Well I never." I now have a blog page thanks to my good friend Stacey's motivation and handholding. Joe wants to know exactly who will be viewing our lives. At this point I consider it a trial run. We'll see just how long the interest last and how easy it is without my crutch. Thanks Stacey!

Stacey came to visit us this week! What a treat! Us girls had a fun time running around the big city of Midland. We went in EVERY baby store in search of inspiration for "Microbrew #2"! Can't wait to meet Taylor's little man. HAPPY BIRTHDAY & thanks again for everything.

Love ya!

The Cooks

Sara & Joe came for a visit Friday too! Joe needs to do more wheelin' & dealin' here in The Tall City. Enjoyed your visit! Hope to see you again this week when I head to A town.

Eat Up!

Taylor's first meal in her big girl chair. Yum... yum... love rice cereal!
