Taterbug is now 5

Taylor for the first time in a while woke right up and was excited to start her day. OF Course it was her 5th Birthday. I had her sit on @ the table while I woke Brian and the little monster up. We sang happy birthday and as Tay went to open her present we thought it would be fun and cute to get her with SILLY STRING......WRONG her and Brilyn scream and cried at the top of thier lungs.... Brian and I felt so bad. It took us 5 min of I am sorry's to calm her down and all she would say is "How come you guys are being rude to me on my BIRTHDAY?" Finally she decided to open her present and once she saw some clothes she forgot about the silly string...

Our Girls

The girls both looked so cute!!! For once I had enough time and patience to get both of them dressed and harid done before throwing them in the car. Taylor of course loves the camera and would have let me take pitcures all day. Brilyn is a whole different story she wouldn't hold still or look @ me! We finally went through our stuff in storage and found the summer clothes. So for all of you that know what a shoe lover Tay is I have flip flops and sandles every where!!!

Taylor 1st Puppet Show

Lastnight Brandy and her kids had come over to visit and eat pizza with us. After dinner Brian went tanning, Brandy and I were watching moment of truth, and all the kids were playing upstairs. Then Taylor and Kaylea brought us notes (Invitations to they're play that was starting asap. It said COME TO TAYLOR AND KAYLEA PUPPET SHOW STARING CAYLI, MILY, HANNAH MONTANA AND SAILY PLEASE COME. TO DAD TO MOM AND TO MOM. It was so cute so while waiting for Brian to get back from tanning Brandy and I dashed out to the garage to get the puppet stage that Aunt Brandi and Uncle Jason had made her for christmas... It was so cute Brandy, Boston, Karis, Brian, Brilyn and I watched with giggle as the horse, dog, frog and monkey all went to Joes Crab Shack for dinner and then to the park, Taylor was kind of shy @ first. But as Kaylea led on Taylor was quick to follow using their creative minds.

It was so so cute to watch them put on the puppet show for us.

Peek-A-Boo

The easter bunny left both girls 5.00 in their baskets, they both got money from Grandma Cheri and then 5 eggs in their egg hunt has money in them. Brilyn she found all 5 of those eggs and we had to play magical easter bunny and give some of those eggs to Tater. She needs the money more to buy all the summer shoes she has been craving. The flip flops and clunky clunks. Anyways the girls and I had taken all the candy and put in one basket, all the empty eggs into another one and then Brilyn decided she would put all the money into her possession. But after packing the money around she found it more fun to put the basket on her head and play peak-a-boo...

Easter 2008

They were so cute coloring their eggs. After drawing on her easter egg Bripie wouldn't give it to me with out a fight, to be put in the dye. It was pretty scary looking. The girls and I colored eggs while Brian cooked breakfast for all of us. This holiday was the 1st we all woke up in our own place with just the 4 of us and it was nice. Brilyn was so so excited when she saw her bike she bailed out of my arms and slid down the stairs and jumped on her bike. Tay on the other hand was a little scared to see what and if the easter bunny had come-she got into trouble with me for snopping around my closet and see Brilyn's bike. But being that her EASTER BUNNY is so cool. She lucked out.
Taylor finally got the HEELIES that she had been wanting for a year now. They both got new swiming suits and easter short outfits. And of course candy and money.
After they hunted all the easter eggs. Brilyn attempted to carry both her and Taylor's baskets up the stairs and she lost one on the very last stair.

Grandma Cheri, Robert and his little boy and Donnie all came over for dinner. Taylor and Robert's litte boy Robert hid the eggs outside over and over for the audults to find. We all laid around being lazy and watching t.v. for the rest of the day.

Girls Night out~NOT REALLY

We had a Girls night out with the Guys (Brian and his Friends attended for support).... We had a blast Mom came with us so that we stayed in line... Ya RIGHT she is still as wild as she was back in the day.. Aunt Heidi claims there are no good stories but I know that she is lying. Aunt Brittany stayed home with the kids and got to see that little miss Brilyn isn't as sweet as they all think...LOL
Sara came with me to Portland for work, After a whole hour of throwing up on the plane. She was back to her self and we had a ok time. Not much to do when you are there for work and get lost the rest of the time. half the time we were unsure of the direction we were facing.

Round and Round

After dragging these sweet children through many stores we promised them a ride. Brilyn was so tired she about fell asleep on her dragon. And of course Mckenna and Taylor had to pose for the camera as always

Disney on Ice

Last week I was given tickets to the Disney on Ice. I took Taylor, Mykelle and Maddi (Mykelle's neighbor) It was very fun! Taylor kept on saying "Oh MOM LOOK, LOOK" And "When is Cinderella?" We had to have lots and lots of goodies to include popcorn, cotton candy, icecream and pop. The girls were so cute and Maddi helped me out alot..

Brilyn Jolene Jensen

Bripie's hair is finally long enough to do something with. As you all know she wasn't sweet enough to let me do it, but she let her teacher. Teegan and Brilyn both listen so well I know that they were told to get off my head board like ten times. I would have given them both a good SPANKING but grandma Lori would have flipped.
Cutest little butt in boots ever

Don't Anyone laugh but I haven't figured out how to rotate the pitcures yet, and since I am suppose to be working I won't take the time right now. Brilyn is so so so close to being potty trained.... she even goes just to go... so she can clap @ herself and say BRAVO....

Bripie

Brilyn AKA our little tomboy. Brian says heres our little boy. When I realized what a little mean thing she was I compare her to Brittany's ~Teegan. Bri is constantley picking @ Taylor. She refuses to let me do anything with her hair. LOOK at this pitcure in her carseat she has alot of the same pouty look as her daddy. Even though she is mean and bossy we love her very much and wouldn't really trade her for a little boy..

Tatertot

Taylor is our little sunshine.... She brings us so much joy and she has been acting so grown up lately that it makes me have the baby blues but Brian says NO..... Taylor is so helpful with Brilyn most of the time. She knows how to work the system she will normally do anything I ask her to but she has a price and it often includes buying her some glue on finger nails.... She is our little sissy girl.. Oh and she loves her dance class that she takes with Mykelle they are so cute all dressed in those spandex outfits.
