"Mmmmmm Nummy!!"

You can't help but laugh at 6:00 in the morning when your daughter comes into your room, after going through your purse, with a wide open mouth and 2 packs of gum saying, "mmmm nummy! nummy mommy nummy!!" and chomping her mouth up and down. That'll get ya out of bed for sure! :)

You'll NEVER Guess...

So you'll never guess what I bought for Taya at the grocery store yesterday...

A motorcycle magazine! HA!

She's OBSESSED with motorcycles and bikes and always looks at our magazines for bikes in them :) So I did her a favor and bought this magazine FULL of motorcycles! She couldn't love it any more! It's so cute, she just sits on the couch and says "woooowww" and "whuusss at?" to every single motorcycle. Cameron is excited because he thinks maybe this will help his chances of getting a motorcycle someday, haha.

Lounging on the couch flipping through the pages

Happy 25th!!

It's official, I'm old... or something like that. Today was my birthday. Started out the celebration at the doctor's office with a delicious glucose drink and a needle stuck in my arm. Happy Birthday eh? :) Went to lunch with friends (thank you!!), Mickell made delicious cupcakes, got a nap, went to the zoo and finished with a movie. Thanks everyone for a great birthday! ... Including Taya, who slept until 7:00 AND had a 2 1/2 hour nap today, which is pretty rare these days! I seriously never thought I'd see the day where I'd actually say I got to "sleep in" until 7:00. Ridiculous. Anyway, thanks for all of your phone calls and beautiful songs that were sung on my voicemail. :)

And since a post really isn't that great of a post unless there's pictures (unless it's Jami's Bachelor Blog which is a hilarious must read :) ) ...

This is me and Taya at the zoo today with the monkeys in the background...

This is Taya's best buddie, Cammie. She LOVES her!! Taya follows her around and gives her loves all the time! This is from last week at the zoo...

Taya watching Cammie do her elephant impression...

For some reason Taya has been obsessed with camels lately. Kind of random! She always looks at her animal book and reaches out to hold the camels, but gets so frustrated that she can't. Every time I video chat with anyone she always see's the skype logo (which has a camel in it) and says "ooohhh wuuusss aaaattt?" ...

I love taking Taya to the zoo, she LOVES the animals. The whole ride there she makes elephant noises and says "rhino", I think mostly because that's the only animal that's pretty easy to say :)

Potty Training

Taya is doing SO good on the potty!! I haven't wanted to fully train her yet because I'm going to Utah the end of the month (YES!!!), but she's basically been doing it all on her own! She won't keep her pants on at home so she's either been running around half naked or sometimes I can get her to wear panties. No accidents though, I can't believe it! I've even left the house a few times and come back and she's still been dry. She's been so good at telling me when she needs to go, but still just likes to look at her magazines so sometimes she sits on the potty A LOT! Gets annoying, but it's funny. She flips through my US Weekly and looks at the motorcycles and bikes :) I think we'll have to purchase her a bike for her birthday for sure! Here's a few pictures of our big girl!

I love this picture... "um, excuse me Mom, I'm using the bathroom". haha!

So into her potty book.

Biggest Loser Update...

Apparently I can't or shouldn't say too much because the network likes to keep things secret, but Cam's interview went good yesterday. We won't know anything for a little while, but we're still hoping he'll make it on the show and are so excited to find out!
