Which doesn't belong?

My mom and I went shoe shopping with Taylee this week. She decided she wanted some new shoes so she tried to put her shoes up for sale! I'm not sure the ladies looking at these killer heels are gonna go for a size 5 sneaker . . . If you are wondering, a Christmas post will be coming . . . Eventually. :)

We took Taylee to meet Santa on Friday. She has been talking nonstop about Santa, and what she wants Santa to bring her. "More Weebles!" and "More Babies!" Of course, as expected, she was totally unwilling to talk to Santa. I was shocked! Since she wasn't willing to go solo with the big man in red, we had to turn it into a family event. Kent tried to destroy the set, and we all had a good laugh. I guess it wasn't designed for four adults and a child! Still glad we did it! Merry Christmas!

Elfy Photo Shoot

Trying to get a cute photo of Taylee in her "elf" outfit . . .

And yes, that is indeed a Broncos themed Christmas Tree!

Hay Lights!

The Burger Stop in Layton offers hay rides through the Christmas lights display in Layton park every December for just $2. Last Saturday we braved the cold and took a ride. Poor Taylee's nose was running like a faucet, and I felt like a terrible mother for taking her out in the cold weather, but she was pleased as punch to go see the lights. We are planning to go walk through them before the season is over because she LOVES Christmas lights this year!

Family Pictures 2011

Finally got our fall/winter photos done.

Better late than never!

Tif Right Back!

Lately Taylee has been enamored with calling me Tif. I think she got it from Skyler because he calls me Tif. When she can't get my attention calling me mommy, she stops and says "TIF!" And it works! Today in the car we were working on names of her relations -

Me: What's daddy's name?

Taylee: Ket! (Kent!)

Me: What's Nana's name?

Taylee: Dev! (Deb!)

Me: What's mommy's name?

Taylee: Tif Right Back!

Huh?!

Well blow me down!

Although I am sure that everyone has seen lots of pictures of the destruction caused by last week's windstorm, I am going to post a few pix of my parents yard. This blog serves as my personal journal, and this is (sadly), something to remember.

Thanks-Giving!

We were so lucky this year that we had the opportunity to travel to Denver for the Thanksgiving holiday. We flew in early Thursday morning and back home on Saturday afternoon, but in the middle, we had two and a half days of pure relaxation and enjoyment! Plus, I got to go see "Breaking Dawn." ;) I got very few pix, as I was too busy enjoying myself to remember to take photos. Ooops. If any of my more tech savvy friends know how to steal pix from facebook to put in my blog, help me out!

Thanks Grandpa for hosting the festivities, and thanks to all the Cohrs women for putting on such a fabulous dinner! We loved it!

Ahhs Cream Maker

Taylee is so enamored with her previously mentioned "ahhs cream maker" that she wants to take it in the car with us everywhere we go. It's a bit large and cumbersome to take along, so we had to compromise on taking a picture of it, and taking that everywhere we go. Maybe she thinks she will get ice cream all day if she always has her ice cream maker? Silly girl. . .

Ahhs Cream!

We made homemade ice cream today! Lately Taylee has been all about helping mommy "make deener!" "make dishes!", and now "make ahhs cream!" I think she liked the finished product. Thanks for the ice cream maker Aunt Ginger!
