Some cute pics

Last Saturday night Isabella and her mommy and daddy came over. The girls played outside for so long and then after dinner had to get cleaned up! They had lots of fun

But boy was Taryn tired afterwards!

Cookie Baking!

Yesterday we baked cookies... Taryn was a big help. She liked mixing the batter and tasting it too!

Zoo for Grandma's Birthday!

On Saturday everyone except me went on a family trip to the zoo for grandma's birthday. They had lots of fun.

Taryn liked seeing the gorillas up close.

and exploring in the children's zoo

Easter!

We all spent Easter in Massachusetts. It was a really good time.
We got to spend time with lots of family and friends.

Taryn got really lucky and the Easter Bunny visited her there.

She got lots of great stuff

Then Mommy made her get all dressed up. And she got to play with her cousins.This rocking chair used to be Grandma and Mommy's but Taryn loves it now.
After playing for a while the kids had an Easter egg hunt. Taryn has gotten really good at it now.

Then we just spent time hanging around.
Tommy was home from the Navy and Taryn liked hanging out with him.And what would Easter be without beer?Speaking of beer... Taryn got to spend lots of time with Uncle Brian this week.We were sad to have to come home... but it is good to be home and we will see everyone again soon.

Yorktown Easter Egg Hunt

This morning Mommy, Daddy, Anne, Taryn and Isabella braved the cold to hunt for more eggs. Here are some videos of the hunt.

The girls were good at helping each other out.. and even got some help from a friend.

This is a quick video of Isabella snaching an egg from Taryn... good grab Isabella!

Taryn Stuff

Lately Taryn loves to eat apples... I don't know what it is about them. It must make her teeth feel better to do a little chewing, but she won't eat them cut up. She likes to scrape at the whole thing with her teeth.

So some people have noticed that I have put on an few pounds... here is some evidence of why that has happened.

She just loves to feed me.

And I don't mind waiting around to try and get some.


Mommy noticed this morning that Taryn was putting the Lego blocks together for the first time... by the time she got the camera Taryn had gotten frustrated.. but you can see how great she did anyway... Then she decides to do some less frustrating things with them. At the very end of the video you can hear her say cat. It is one of her new words. She has been talking so much lately!
