Kick for the Cure Soccer Tourney

Date: Nov 11-12th

Taylee had her big 3rd tourney this past weekend.

The Kick for the Cure Tournament!

She dedicated this tourney to Grandma Jamison!

The new pink uniforms!

And of course silly face pose!

Don't let it fool you that's November.

It was so flipping hot!

These poor girls faces were as bright as their shirts after the game!

It wasn't their best tournament but they still had fun.

They ended up in the 3rd/4th place game against a team they had already beat.

It ended up a tie and went into a shoot out.

Taylee had to be Goalie for our team.

I could feel her stress and nerves from the sideline!

This was their first shoot out this year.

We ended up losing the shoot out and taking 4th place.

Heartbreak to say the least.

But luckily the girls are troopers and were over it the next day

and back at practice to improve for next time!

Taylee's 9th Birthday!!

Date: Sept 19-20th

Like always,

the birthday celebration went on for 6 days for Taylee!!

The big party with her friends was on Friday night.

Then on Tuesday night we had her birthday dinner.

She picked Sweet Tomatoes and brought her friend Kaitlyn!

Eastlie was super excited about Taylee's birthday also...

or maybe just the all you can eat buffet! haha

The family pic attempt! lol

Anden's always surrounded by girls! lol the fake smile says it all

Ok now a family pic that everyone is looking the right way.

Don't mind that Laiklyn's in her jammies.

She refused to change for the occasion.

Finally on Wednesday, Sept 10th

was the OFFICIAL birthday!!

I was on my way upstairs to wake her up when she came down with a random bloody nose!

Oops happy birthday kiddo! lol

At least she was laughing about it!

So we went back up to room and had a "Take Two" on the birthday morning wake up call!

She had specifically requested streamers on her door

as well as the usual streamers downstairs!

So she was a happy girl!

(little did she know that at 5:30 am my mama ears heard ripping noises and I bolted from a dead sleep to bust Laiklyn tearing off every one of those dang streamers!!! UGH so I hurry and rehung them before Taylee woke up! Criss adverted!)

We immediately went to present time!

Next we moved on to Breakfast!

Taylee cracks me up.

She could barely even think of any gifts she wanted

but yet when I asked what meals she wanted...

she immediately gave me a mile long list!

(without taking a breath...)

"For my birthday breakfast I want hashbrowns, fake bacon, ham, pancakes with strawberry, whipped cream, sprinkles and a candle!"

lol oh is that all honey?!

So we made her just what she ordered!

Then it was off to school with her class treats in tow!

We then picked up Taylee from school for her birthday lunch!

She chose

Mama's Hawaiian Barbeque

We all enjoyed our yummy meal!

Including Eastlie!

Um I think it's safe to say you got every last drop! haha

Laiklyn refused to join the girls pic!

But hey at least that's her pouting reflection in the window! lol 

And phew....that is the end of Taylee's birthday celebrations!

She's one amazing kiddo!!

We're so lucky that she's ours!
