Tator Tot turns FIVE!!

Okay, okay..... so once again I am a major blog slacker!! But.... I have a good excuse..... just let me think of it! :-)

I spent THREE HOURS the other day uploading pictures and have SEVEN blog posts ready to go!! Just have to write to go with the pictures!!

Anywho.... I left off with Christmas. It was wonderful! Afterwards, everyone returned to their abodes and life went on. February 3rd brought our beautiful granddaughter, Taylor's FIFTH birthday!! So hard to believe she is FIVE already!!

What an adorable baby she was!

And what a HAM she has become!

Taylor loves pre-school and has learned so much and grown so much there! I love how she writes her name now and how she tries to read to me! She is so funny! She got a new teacher at pre-school and told her dad, "that's miss so and so.... she's nice, but she's fat" LOL!! Taylor calls it like she sees it!!

I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she told me she wanted a grocery cart! HAHA!! What a nut! But Grandma aims to please so she got a grocery cart, a small basket filled with play food, a huge lot of play food for the grocery games and a cash register!! She is all set now to do all her shopping! We had a great time playing grocery store while I was there!

Taylor got glasses this year as well! She is adorable in them!! She told me "Now we are the same, Grandma. We both wear glasses, but you are still fatter than me." HAHA! I love the honesty of little kids! Her glasses are pink and she is so good about wearing them. She puts them on first thing in the morning and takes them off at bedtime. What a good girl!

I got to spend a lot of time with just Taylor on my recent visit while the other two were at school all day. We had a great time! We went shopping, baked goodies, cleaned house, played games, went to the movie, and had many many long talks!! She sure likes to chatter!!

Tay is an outside girl! She loves to be outside in the sunshine! Dirt doesn't bother her in the least! I took some family pictures of Travis and the kids while I was there and these of Taylor turned out very well! 

Have you ever seen a more beautiful brown-haired girl?

I just had to throw in a baby picture of Taylor. She has always been the happiest kid around! Nothing ever gets her down!! She loves her daddy and likes to ride horses with him whenever she can! She is excited about starting kindergarten in the Fall and going to school with Kolby and Baylee. I'm not excited about it though because it means she is growing up......

We love you, Taylor Maddison!!!
