Yesterday was our garden club day over at Alisha's house. Alisha had a sprinkler set up that the kids could play in. The older kids greatly enjoyed it, but T & N didn't take too well to it. Taylor however thoroughly enjoyed being able to freely roam all over the backyard, and she found Mimi's candy stash. ;-) Kenadie was a good sport and hung out in the shade the whole time, and Carden, of course, found a pet snail and named him "Snailey." Alisha's yard is so beautiful already that not much needed to be done, but as usual, we enjoyed having time to visit with each other.
Alisha said she's biased over how adorable Kenadie is, and I have to admit that I'm pretty biased about my little girl as well (it's a mom's prerogative, right?). I just think Taylor is the most gorgeous thing ever, and I love all of her facial expressions!
Later that evening, Jared and I went over to Neal and Sarah's house to celebrate my mom's birthday (Neal had to work today, so we celebrated a day early). We were in the backyard enjoying the outdoors; the kids were enjoying the trampoline and the roller coaster, and then, it happened.... the collision. I went inside for a few minutes, and all of a sudden, Jared comes walking inside holding Taylor, and she is crying uncontrollably. Apparently, my mom was helping Bryson ride the roller coaster, and she thought Taylor was with Jared. Well, after Bryson took off, Taylor went running towards him, and he ran straight into her. It took her legs out from under her, she fell forward on top of Bryson, and they headbutted each other. When Jared brought her inside, she had a bloody nose.
Jared tried to get a picture of her bloody nose, but she wasn't much in the mood.. haha It was hard to see anyway because it wasn't like gushing blood or anything. She cried for a while, and Jared claimed that she was "milking it" and told me not to baby her (not that he's insensitive or anything, but his philosophy is just to get her laughing and playing as quickly as possible to get her mind off of it). I informed him that I totally have the right to baby her if she is genuinely hurt! I was just really glad that I didn't see the collision happen because it would have scared me to death! My mom and Jared both were surprised that Taylor's legs weren't hurt at all. There's no bruising or anything today, and she seems to be doing perfectly fine. In fact, she was probably over it all within 15-20 minutes.
After the dramatic collision, we had a delicious dinner and the best chocolate cake ever from Costco. Then, after mom opened her presents, we went to another one of Bryson's t-ball games.
Tonight, we went with the Bastins (some very close family friends) to eat dinner at Mezza Luna (a new restaurant in the Target shopping center on Carl T. Jones), and then we walked over to Coldstone to get ice cream!! We had a great time (Thanks, Sherry & Danny!), and my mom deserves many, many days worth of celebrating for as much as she does for us! Taylor thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and ate a little bit of everyone's ;-)
