SUPER SLACKER!!

oh wow! has it really been over a year since i've updated this!?.. well i guess i best get on it! i'll try and get some recent pics up here soon!!

Birthdays, Birthdays!!

October has been such a fun but busy month at the Tait house! I had my 26th birthday on the 28th! I'm really starting to feel old and I don't think I'm ok with that! Haha! But, I had a really great day! Nate got me a super cute digital camera to replace our old and hammered one! I love it so so much and have been picture happy ever since I got it! My parents had a little bbq at their house for me that night. I didn't have a memory card for the camera yet, so I only got a few pics from that night.

Sammy, Kalyne and I goofing off with the new camera!

Sammy and Bailie showing their love to the birthday girl!

Emmie Kay.. she is always all smiles!


Cole Tait.. he is always pullin a silly face!

I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone who came. Nichole and her super cute family came out, Lance and Leah and their kids, Mikey, Hope, Sheila, Hoss and his boys.. It was a fun night and great food!

Kalyne Turns 8!!
Kalyne had her 8th birthday on Sunday, November 2nd, but we had a fun little costume party for her on Saturday. Sammy and I made some pretty cute mummy cupcakes and thought it'd be funny to throw some cross-eyed ones in the mix. We thought it was pretty funny and had a little too much fun in the kitchen..

Sammy insisted on the fish face!

Sam's awesome fish face! She's just awesome, fish face or not!

We especially got a kick out of this blue eyed mummy!

Kalyne, Abby and Maddie

We played this cute little game where you split into pairs. One person will be wrapped in toilet paper, to resemble a mummy, and the other person is the wrapper. You race to see which little group can wrap their mummy the fastest, The kids loved it and the mummys were very cute!

The birthday girl all mumm-a-tized!

Mikkel made a super cute mummy too!

Playing ghost, ghost, goblin!

We finished up the party with some yummy witches brew and mummy cupcakes! Kalyne had a blast and can't wait until her bithday next year! Haha!

Emmie with cute lil Ty Lathim. She loves, loves babies!


A birthday pose from the birthday girl!

Cole refused to let us take his picture! He stood by the pinata most of the party! He couldn't wait to have a swing at it!

Emmie loves being pushed on the rope swing! I love this picture of her. She's always so happy!

Kalyne and Sammy and the cupcake Kalyne decorated heself!

Since Nate went back out hunting after Kalyne's party, Sammy, Bailie, the kids and I went to Nedras Too for dinner and deep fried icecream for Kalyne and Bailies birthday!

Kalyne and Cole sharing some icecream!



Bailie had her birthday on the 3rd of November, the day after Kalyne's. She is a super cute girl, very entertaining and I love her to death. She's lots of fun to be with and is tons of help to me with my kids! This is her eating her deepfried icecream! Haha she's awesome!

HALLOWEEN!!

Here they are! Finally! Halloween pictures! This year we had a Batman, a cheerleader and a little angel! They all looked so cute all dressed up and had a blast Halloween night!

I had such a hard time getting a picture of the 3 of them together! They were all so excited and Emmie would just not hold still, so this is the best one I got!

Kalyne and Cole infront of our little homemade graveyard!

Thumbs up from Batman! He was ready to go!

This picture makes me laugh! She's always striking some silly pose!


Kalyne and Emmie Kay.

Another pose from the cheerleader!


... and one from Batman too!

Emmie loves babies! We ran into Brett and Kynlee and their cute baby at Nate's grandparents house and Emmie could not get enough of him! She was so funny!


Here she is trying to give him kisses!

She would just laugh and squeal and try to kiss all over him!

Zack, Nate, Mike and Cole Tait. The handsome hunters!

Nate and his brother Zack drew out for a hunt this year and opening day was Halloween. Cole was so thrilled to go out and camp and look for deer. It's all he talks about now! Zack was able to get him a nice little 4 point but Nate hasn't had much luck yet! Today is the last day, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Ok, ok! So I have been a huge HUGE slacker! I'm posting this simple little post to say that I'm turning over a new leaf and am gonna put all that slacking behind me! Or atleast give it a good atempt! Haha! I've been crazy busy for some reason but am going to post all sorts of pictures tonight, after the kids get put to bed, to catch you all up on whats been going on!

We're moving...

Which means that our home is FOR SALE! I have mixed feelings about leaving, but we've decided that moving closer to Nate's job is best for our family. I'm am going to miss seeing my parents, lil sis, grandparents and friends on the daily, and the kids are pretty bummed to leave their friends as well. I am going to miss this quiet little town, our cozy little house and our great big yard! But, I keep telling myself that Stg is not far so we can visit often. On the plus side, I will be closer to my other 2 sisters and their kids and we will gain so many more hours with Nate once that 3 hour daily commute is eliminated! That I am excited for! Before all of this moving can happen though, we must sell our house.

OUR HOUSE

It is a cozy 2 story house on a 1/2 acre lot. It is commercially zoned with a fully fenced yard with fruit trees and a detached 2 car garage. There are 2 bedrooms and a small office downstairs and 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, kitchen and laundry room upstairs. We've just recently had all of our old, wood frame single pane windows replaced with double pane, Jeld-Wen vinyl windows from Home Depot. We've also replaced our shingled roof with a tin roof. We are asking only $150,000! You really have to come and see it to appreciate it! So, spread the word!!

I am really sad to part with it :( We've lived in this house for close to 4 1/2 years. I just love the homey and comfortable feeling it has (if that even makes sence! haha) I've posted a few pictures of the outside below. We've got a really nice, big yard which is another thing that'll be hard to give up! Stg lots with yards like this don't come cheap, so we'll have to settle for less. A lot less, I'm afraid! Anyways, I will miss everyone once it's final but I will visit lots and expect the same!

Another birthday in the house!!

COLE IS 4!!

I went downstairs this morning to get some wrapping paper and seen that Cole was laying awake in his bed so I said "Morning bud, do you remember that it's your birthday today?" He looked at me with these big eyes and said, all serious like "What did you just say?"It was really cute and funny so I just had to laugh. He instantly got excited and rushed upstairs!

He couldn't wait to start coloring in the Batman book Kalyne gave him!

and he loved the singing Optimus Prime t-shirt! He showed it (and his muscles) off to everybody!

This is a classic "Cole face!" He was jammin' out to his singing shirt while checking out his Batman stickers!

His Grandma Hope brought over presents later that evening from her, Sheila and Uncle Mikey. One of the presents was this whole case of poppers! He absolutley LOVES these things, so he was stoked! I took this picture maybe like 30 minutes after he opened it, and you can see how many boxes are already missing out of the case!

Cole is having his bestest friend Kensten and his cousin Ashley sleep over tonight. Asha was out before the movie even started, tired girl, but the boys made it through the Power Puff Girls before they fell asleep! They are such cuties!

We also went to the park today for a picnic with Easton and Maddie. It was pretty hot and Emmie's getting teeth and wasn't too happy, so it didn't last long! The kids ended up playing at Leah's for a while and then came to my house to play for a bit too. They all had a lot of fun! We'll be having Cole's party tomorrow evening and Cole can't wait to take a swing at his Spiderman pinata!

Birthdays!!

Today was Emmie's first birthday!! We are having a birthday party for her on Saturday, so tonight the family had cupcakes and opened a few presents. I thought that she'd love the balloons and decorations, but the minute she saw the balloons she started screaming. She was so scared of them for some reason and didn't want to get too close to them! We distracted her with a cupcake, which worked pretty well but she'd keep glancing at the balloons like she was unsure of them.




She wasn't scared of the cupcakes!


She just grabbed chunks of it! It was so cute!


Then she turned around and noticed a balloon
tied to her chair..


She was so cute opening her presents. She kept
making this "ooh" face.

She was so fun to watch. We all got a kick

out of the faces she would make!

Cole pullin' his sweet face!


Kalyne the corn eater!


Cole is turning 4 on the 7th (their bdays are a week apart!) so I'll have more party pictures to post soon!
