Happy 3RD Birthday, Taylor Maddison!!

Yesterday was our sweet Taylor's THIRD birthday! Grandma was home sick yesterday and spent the day sleeping and didn't get the birthday post done so am doing it today! But that's how I roll.... a day late and a dollar short!

February 3, 2006, was a beautiful day! Robin went to the doctor, got checked out and they told her to go to the hospital because it was time for the babe to make her appearance! Robin called Travis who was at work and told him it was time to go to the hospital so they decided he would meet her there. Well, unknown to Travis, Robin decided she should stop and get a burger since they wouldn't be feeding her for a few hours! So, Travis shows up at the hospital and his wife is nowhere to be found!

Can you imagine.... here comes this cowboy running in to the hospital looking for his wife who is about to give birth and them wondering where he left her since she isn't there?!?! HAHA! Robin finally showed up and a few hours later, our beautiful Taylor Maddison made her grand appearance!

She was the first of our grandchildren to be born with a little bit of hair! We were so excited! Kolby, Abbie and Baylee were the baldest babies when they were born!

Taylor is a beautiful little girl! We call her our 'little Greek throwback'... she isn't as fair as her siblings, she has the olive complexion and hazel eyes of her great grandmother.

Taylor has always been the happiest little girl! She smiles ALL the time! She loves to tease her brother and sister! As soon as she learned to walk, she learned how to grab whatever they were playing with and run as fast as she could! Laughing all the way!

Our Taylor is also a complex little girl. One minute she will be fine with something and the next, she will be scared to death of it! The first time we took her swimming, she LOVED the water! The next time, she was scared to death and had a death grip on her mom's neck the entire time! This summer, grandma got her a 'magic' pool and she has gotten over her fear for the most part. She even played in the baby pool in Thermopolis over Thanksgiving!

Taylor isn't too crazy about riding horses either, so her mom is pretty excited that she may have a girly girl to play dress up and make up with since Baylee is all about riding horses and hanging out at the barn with her dad! Don't get me wrong, Taylor has her daddy wrapped very tightly around her little finger too! All she has to do is give him one of her smiles and his heart just melts! Taylor has her Papa wrapped pretty firmly around her other little finger too!

We love you, Taylor babe and are so glad you are in our family!!
